I just realized my above oppinion might seems contradictory to what I wrote in the other thread, about antes and things like Ur-Shulgi being unbeatable blood gods and how I don't like it.
But it's actually not. I want elders and other big baddies around, for the above listed reasons, but I don't want them to be untouchable. In a general sense, of course. They could very well be untouchable for the players, at their current level and, depending on the chronicle, maybe at all.
Thing is, in SR, even a Great Dragond could be killed. It takes tremendous ammounts of resources, but it could be done. They don't have stats, mostly, because on the level of the players, they can't amass that much firepower, so it's pointless. A Great Dragon could level a city and go toe-to-toe with armies. But it's still killable. Antes, as per Revised, are above that, they are effective gods and I don't think that's a good thing.
