Lol... the way we play the Story Guide (DM to you D&D types) is god. There is no 'beating' him, get all uber and you'll get yourself spanked down that much quicker. Gaming is about the story, not about hack and slash. I can just imagine what would happen if I took my Ars Flambeau (who IS fairly uber for that game, but I play him fairly passive, except for that pesky rage flaw
) and started frying peasants... I'd be dead within the hour.
Last time I DM'd a D&D game (many years ago) I led a party of VERY uber characters against Lloth herself in her spider contraption on her plane of hell... they went all midaeval on her and were all giving eachother high fives when painfully discovered they'd just killed one of her illusions (she was VERY good at illusions)... at which point she kicked the living snot out of them, I think half the party got out alive
. You don't go against Demi-gods unless you're crazy, and you don't go against the DM unless you have a deathwish.
