I’ve been wanting to make this thread for a while. Pretty much in college we read the epic of Gilgamesh and I’ve found a few feats, but I’m only going to be calculating 1 right now.
In the standard version of Gilgamesh there are two feats. He was stated to have flattened a forest and destroyed a small mountain. The mountain feat lines up with a statement from earlier in the story. However the forest and mountain feat did not appear in the version of the story I read for college meaning these feats aren’t in every version. So I don’t think they can be counted as legitimate.
Instead I have calculated the best feat I have found in every version of Gilgamesh: the bull of heaven making a hole large enough to have 200 people fall to their deaths:
Edit: Calc blog a few comments down.
All results get Small Building level, but the higher results are less than 1.25 times away from baseline 8-C. Considering the bull of heaven does this feat by snorting I believe they have enough of a reason to upscale into 8-C. Also the bull has a feat of decreasing a rivers water level by a notable degree and based off a dnd calc with a similar feat I believe that feat could get decent results.
Finally Gilgamesh should get two keys and have his limitless stamina, and possibly Omniscient removed. He gets tired multiple times throughout the story. Him being Omniscient is also contradicted constantly throughout the story. The end of the story is him going on a large quest to find a way to be immortal and a snake steals his chance at immortality without him knowing.
When it comes to the two keys the Gilgamesh at the end of the story is vastly different than the Gilgamesh at the beginning. Gilgamesh later in the book is cowardly and depressed due to Enkidu’s death and is vastly older. He gets tired way easier, barely managing to stay away for a single day despite not doing anything. He also is most likely weaker. He was terrified of some lion, and while he proceeded to slaughter them effortlessly, he was still scared of them, and his vast decrease in stamina should be a sign that he is weaker in general.
So in conclusion:
Gilgamesh would either be 9-A or 8-C depending on which end of my calc is accepted (I would make it a blog, but as far as I’m aware blogs had their comments erased so might as well just get it accept in a thread because it’s an upgrade either way), with his possibly far higher being replaced with his mountain shattering and forest flattening feat. There should be a note on the bottom of the page saying Gilgamesh doesn’t just scale to those feats because they aren’t in every version of the story and thus may not be legitimate.
He’ll gain a second key which would at least 9-B for killing lions, and possibly higher for being somewhat comparable to his past self.
His stamina should just be superhuman, and his second keys stamina would be above average.
His possible omniscient should be removed.
One final thing I should point out is Gilgamesh has appeared in other Mesopotamian Myths so I’ll ask, is this profile solely based off the Epic of Gilgamesh?
