Some of you who haven't yet bought Lords of Olympus might be wondering just what the power-levels are in the game.
Well here, right from the book, is a list of just what you can do in the different ability scores if you have "Olympian Class", the default Olympian-level average:
Olympian Class Ego Characters
• Whether by touch or prolonged eye-contact, they can establish a psychic link, and thereafter attempt to read thoughts, send telepathic messages, cause mental injury, or psychically dominate victims
• Access to the standard powers available to player characters, with a moderate level of effect
• While competent, they cannot reach exceptional
levels.
Olympian Class Might Characters
• Capable of incredible feats of strength by human standards, such as lifting cars with bare hands and tossing them a few feet, uprooting thick trees, punching through most types of wood with relative ease, penetrating weaker stone or metal with enough effort, and easily killing regular mortals with a single blow
• Four or five mortal men exerting great effort are
needed to pin them
Olympian Class Fortitude Characters
• Capable of extreme feats of endurance
• Can fight without stopping for twelve hours and stay awake for two to three days of constant
marching before physical or mental capacities are affected
• Resistant to a single blow from a melee weapon or bullet wound that misses the heart or brain, requiring several such injuries to incapacitate them; they can even keep moving, albeit with some effort, after a high-speed collision with a car
• While unlikely to die, only decapitation means certain death, though a serious injury to the heart
or brain leaves them unconscious and defenseless
• Recovery from minor injuries requires a night's rest, while serious injuries heal in only a few
days—being stabbed or shot in the heart requires only a week's rest, and being stabbed or shot in the
brain results in a coma for only a few weeks before being able to engage in moderate activity
• Lost body parts can be regrown, although it may take years to do so
• Breath can be held for a half-hour
• Survival below 100°C or above -75°C is possible indefinitely
• Can resist highly-toxic environments for variable lengths of time
• Access to the standard powers listed for player characters without tiring, unless injured, fatigued, or for prolonged use
Olympian Class Prowess Characters
• Physical combatants on the level of wuxia martial-arts films
• Can take shots impossible to a normal mortal with a gun, engage in sword-fights while performing acrobatics in a dangerous environment, and defeat a grandmaster in chess quickly and efficiently
• Capable of killing a mere mortal without any meaningful effort or fight ten mortal men in a
sword-duel at no risk with some care
• Most regular supernatural creatures are likely to be defeated in battle
From time to time, I plan to post some more snippets from the book, so keep your eyes peeled.
