All gods have the following drawbacks to simulate the effect of magical items against their defenses. Any weapon of salient quality or great, is harder to resist

[JoshuaDunlow]

Ugh, now Thor needs another Rewrite to go along with these new builds. lol

[The Ilethryl Knight]

I really like what you've done with Odin and Loki.

I noticed that Odin's father's name was Bor, and his Grandfather's name was Buri. I had a D&D character named Helgi whose his father's name was Buri. He also had a bear companion (before he obtained his Griffon companion) and the bear was named Bor. I guess my subconscious memory must have picked those names from Thor's Mythology without me even realizing it. And here I thought I was being original. Ugh!

Webils wobble, but they don't fall down!

(I'm guessing that anyone under the age of 30 probably has no idea what I'm talking about. )

I don't have any idea what you're talking about *is under 30*.

They were these silly little toys from the 70's called Weebles.

[Jabroniville]

Wow, nice Loki build there. But how come you make Immunity to Poison & Disease 10 points each? The "Immunity" power lists both under "One Point" buy-offs.

the 1 point variation will deal with most mundane poisons, but for 10 pts im Immune to all normal diseases, disease damage, and powers with the disease descriptor!

27 And I understand the joke just fine!

[Semper Mortalitas]

True they do not fall down, but if you press them into the shag carpet JUUUSST right they will LAY down

Beautiful builds btw. Shouldn't the Impervious save for a god be high enough to resist a flamethrower? I can understand the rocket launchers +10 dam getting through (maybe) but seeing Loki dancing around trying to put out jellied gasoline on himself would just look wrong.

I can see with the high toughness and regen etc Loki would be tough to damage and Odin, whole other category of scary.

This is only my opinion please do not take it as any form of criticism you have seen my builds and they

Thanks Semper,
I did have loki's toughness bonus alot higher, but i felt this was way to high. I knocked it down a bit, figuring his own innate toughness would be slightly less than Thor's. He's got magic, and gadgets to help adjust for this. And he is almost dangerous enough to take on ODIN, almost all on his own.

This was my 'special request', and since I am a MnM noob I have a question. I noticed that you have the feat for minion at 2 which is at a 4pp cost if I am not mistaken, so why only spend 6pp on the Webil? Isn't there 30pp available (a PL2 Character) with which to build it?

(EDIT) Wouldn't the Gnomes... 'Fortitude 1 (+0)' be Fortitude 1 (+1), if his Con is +0? (/EDIT)

Thanks for doing that for me BTW.

Best,
The Bane
