Authority

[Orioreeem]

Can someone expalin how does this authority thing work

 

[Paul_Frank]

Authority is basically being able to do X thing or cause X effect(s) (depends on the authority or authorities people have), because you have the right to do so as the god of said thing

There's more nuance to that part when it comes to like, objects with authority, or non gods with it, but that's the general idea behind it.

i.e Quetz as a sun god, has an authority that lets her just spawn solar winds to ravage an area, there's no mechanics or any special stuff needed for this, she just can do it as a god of the sun

I see. So where does the scaling chain come from(hax and resistance)?

 

[Paul_Frank]

Since you need an authority at least equal or surpassing the other person's in power in order to affect them like, at all with anything, the scaling chain is based on their strength as a god/the strength of their authority

Which is why say, Arjuna with his composite Hindu pantheon worth of authority is basically the top

 

[Orioreeem]

How long is the scaling chain?

 

[Paul_Frank]

Some people will say like 66 million based on the size of the Hindu pantheon or whatever, others will disagree

Off the top of my head I can't give an answer besides "Pretty long" I'd have to go check if we've made a full one yet that includes everyone.
