Riordanverse Review

Not open for further replies.
I do not know. It is up to the other staff members.
 
I'm still really iffy about Island-level Demigods, since I can't remember a single feat approaching that level after The Titan's Curse. Even then it took Percy extreme effort and definitely took a toll on him in the form of a grey streak in his hair.

I'm not sure if we should chalk it up to an outlier or not.
 
So, have you reached any conclusions here, and if so, is anybody willing to carry out the statistics changes?
 
I think we should say at least High 6-A, likely 5-C (scaling with artemis) is what I got

Also, At Least 5-B for the big three, since their mere prescence can create natural diseasters and planetary feats.

Is what I got, is that right @Mattew and Cal

tbh, wouldnt mind a chaos upgrade to be put on the table as well
 
@Spinosaurus

We already stated that we aren't scaling Demigods to Gods, there's a massive power difference between them.

I'll concede for 6-C Demigods (even if I still don't entirely agree), but I wonder if we can get anything out of the whole constellation creation feat at the end of The Titan's Curse.

I thought 5-C for most gods, minus the big three were fine with 5-B big three fine as well 6-C demigods is what I intended With 5-C most gods, and 5-B for big three
 
I'm not entirely for this upgrade still, but I suppose the top Demigods and certain special demigods (i.e. Leo), could get upgraded, but there's still the matter of rating less physically inclined demigods like Leo, Piper, and Annabeth.

I dont think this rating will apply for them since the gap between big three demigod children and not are pretty significant I am personally fine with at least 5-C gods and even 4-A big three because myth + story, I will probably though be more inclined to say 6-C percy and big three children though.
 
Perhaps the average demigod could be ranked at Wall level? Idk, but I don't think that demigods are weaker than fodder Einherjar.
 
Don't scale Every Demigod to Percy, don't scale every Einherjar to Magnus and don't scale every Egyptian mage to Moses.

Simple.
 
Moses was hardcore.

Btw, this may be a bit controversial, but I'm curious on what would be result if one decided to calc the Red Sea parting.

There's actually a calc of that on NF which got 8-A results.
 
The power of the gods shouldnt be greater than their domain. High 6-A is good for the big three, country level for the lower greek gods seems reasonable. Artemis moon feat is probably an outliner. I think the greek gods should be comparable to the eagyptians, which are at the same level.

About that feat, for holding the sky: Ares stated that if nobody would hold the sky, only the mountain and an area around some miles would be destroyed. Atlas and others only prevented the sky only from touching the place were the titans were created, not the entire sky. (See page 306 in the titans curse). With that and percys vulcan feat, the demigods should be mountain level at best. Anything else is too high, since they never showed that kind of physical strength and such feats only with their demigod powers.
 
@Meoso

I don't agree with this statement. The gods casually create constellations and turn mortals into them at any time (as Apollo threatened to do to Leo). If we restricted characters to their domains, then Apollo would be the strongest of the gods due to carting the sun around while the Big Three would be weaker than him, which is canonically not true.

There's still the whole thing about the gods and demigods fighting the Giants and the fact they could casually toss mountains around.
 
No it's not. It's a manifeststion of the power of the sun, as perceived by mortals.

The only difference between the scientific version of the universe and the mythological version of the universe is your perception. Astronomy is still a thing in the PJ universe and the demigods study it like their lives depend on it, and unless you think that the moon landings were fake, then the moon in the PJ universe is also not a tiny thing pulled by a Chariot.

Trials of Apollo explains this well. After Apollo loses his godhood, the sun still follows its path around the Earth, because there are several belief systems with sun gods still active, as well as science's laws of physics.

Riordanverse basically follows a Cosmology where reality itself is subjective to your interpretation.
 
Like I said, it's not the actual sun, it's just a car. A car made of what humans think of the sun, but still a car.

It's not an actual star in any way, the same way they go out of their way to state that the sun god Ra is different from the actual physical sun. When Ra got out of the Duat a little late, it looked like there were 2 suns in the sky.

The moon would be the same thing.
 
Actually Apollo does in fact address this topic of his car/sun thing. He specifically notes that he and all the other mythologies are actually all doing the same thing, making the sun rise and set, he even directly refers to science noting that even if the gods weren't alive to do it science would- suggesting that science itself isn't simply an explanation of how the universe works, science makes sense and works because ppl believe it (essentially the same deal as the gods- and even then Apollo explains to Thalia when she questions him about the other gods and how they can exist whilst the Greek gods do, he says something along the lines of because different set of gods exist doesn't make the Greek myths and pantheon any less real. It's a strange concept but essentially they are all "different manifeststions of the same truth"- straight from the book there
