IMG we rate each level of being as follows with examples:
- Weak Creature.
- Adult Human.
- Initiate.
- High level initiate.
- Acolyte, Small Landscape Entity.
- Rune Lord. Clan Champion.
- Rune Master, Tribal Champion, Normal Landscape Entity.
- Greater Rune Master.
- Lesser Hero, Large Landscape Entity.
- Hero, Lesser City God.
- Greater Hero.
- Lesser Super Hero, City God.
- Demigod, Superhero.
- Minor God, Greater Super Hero, Great City God.
- Lesser God.
- Greater God.
Each is twice as powerful as the last. So where our game is at the
moment (1617) Kalyr is 9, Bryon is 10, Harrak is 11, Jar-eel is 12
and all are improving. The Red Emperor is 13 (in some respects) and
the Red Goddess is 16. Orlanth was 16, is now 15 and is getting
worse. The White Bear was probably about 9 or 10 -I'm not sure how
many worshippers it had. The most powerful character in the game is
7.
