One thing I’ve seen people talking about as a possible solution to the whole gods issue is turning the gods mortal—permanently.
Remove the throne entirely. Put gods and mortals on the same playing field. This option does have one obvious benefit: if the gods are like everybody else, then the damage they can inflict is severely reduced.
#i have my problems with Ashton's throne analogy#because a throne is a human-made concept of hierarchy#the person on the throne is not fundamentally different from the person off of it#and thats not really the case for the gods#who are people but also beings beyond our scale of comprehension#and are living concepts and fundamental facets of living in the world#and (at least for the primes) dont really interfere with mortal life unless mortals actively fuck with them#either way Ludinus sucks and has got to go#and predathos is probably going to eat everybody if it gets out#cr spoilers#critical role spoilers#cr downfall#critical role#cr meta#cr3#cr gods#bells hells#shelley's overdramatic character analysis
