Should the Luminous Being be Tier 0?

[Maxerature]

Evidence shows that the Luminous Being is meant to be either the DM or Gary Gygax/WoTC. Either way, it's the person creating the story.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be similar to The Writer? Making it Tier 0?

Simply being an author avatar does not automatically grant tier 0 stature. It depends on the scale of the rest of the setting.

Can you be more specific about this? Maybe try bringing in someone who is particularly knowledgeable about DnD?

Main reason I've asked the first question is these are the guidelines provided on Tier 0.:

"Characters that far exceed the requirements for Tier 1-A. Such characters will usually stand hierarchically above everything, including existence and nonexistence, possibility, causality, dualism, the concepts of life and death, etcetera.

Take note that being infinitely superior to a regular 1-A character does not automatically make another character qualify for a Tier 0 rating. The ones that do qualify should be so much higher than baseline 1-A characters that it can not be estimated or comprehended from their perspectives. That is, to even be considered for Tier 0, a character must at the very least transcend baseline 1-A characters in the same manner that they exceed ones who are bound by dimensions."

Of course it goes without saying that the tiering system is currently being revised as we speak, so who knows?

Well, you can ask Mr. Bambu to comment here if you wish.

I finished the tier blog if that helps with this. Personally though I don't think there's enough in-universe evidence to directly support a Tier 0 rating, but he should be above the other Tier 1-As.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

I've heard talk from certain people that given Lumis feats, he could be considered 0.

That said, I disagree, he shouldn't be Tier 0.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for the input. Should we close this thread then?

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Yeah, we (as in, the D&D people) already broached this topic some time back and considered Lumi not-really-0. I know Aeyu remarked on multiple occasions that he could be but frankly without evidence I'm giving a fat no.

I'll close this. No worries.
