Don't listen to them, they're trying to pull the wool over your eyes.

While the thought of none of the Endbringers being able to see a god is amusing, I must regretfully point out that Levi senses the water in a body, and Benny does energy fields: without proper experimentation, we don't know yet if D&D style concealment spells will hide people or gods from them.
Ziz is, as far as I know, the only one that depends on scrying to see people.
I can see the gods getting together for a magical skeet shoot, however, while Eilistraee and the other ranger/thief gods try to see who can steal the biggest feather from Ziz.

PHO thread:
Winged_ONE: "HALP! I'm being tormented by things I can't see and they're doing mean things to me!"
Everyone else: [offers good advice up to and including heading to the PRT for M/S screening]
xXVoid_CowboyXx: [something wierd, rambling, incoherent, and somehow concluding that Winged_One is Ziz.]
Winged_One: "ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, I'M ZIZ, JUST STOP PLUCKING MY FEATHERS!"
Entire thread quickly deleted. Archived copies and screenshots saved anyway, because this is the internet. other PHO threads exploderate and banhammers are liberally applied.
Many facepalms were had.
(I may be a wee bit sleep-drunk. going to bed now.)

I have no problem with Behemoth knowing the Gods are up there waiting with Magic Hammers. After all, more then half the fun of Wack-A-Mole is trying to guess where it's going to come up, and as long as Behemoth is still driven to attack, then the Immortal Beings that are Inherently Immune to Disease and the long term effects of Radiation (since Gods don't get cancer) will have no problem with waiting for him to pop his head up just to get knocked back down......

Just so everyone knows, I'm skipping tomorrow's update, so I can get caught up on getting the next CTC update done and so my editor gets some recovery time from the headaches I've given him. 
Be of good cheer, and for goodness sake, get outside and enjoy the beginnings of Summer (before it gets too oppressive)!
(I've also had to solve a couple of rather strange issues that had popped up in my e-mail. Nothing that affected anything here, but it did hit my main e-mail pretty hard...)

You weren't the cause of the migraines; as I said, I know why they happen (at least, typically), and when they do, it takes a few days to get over just how exhausting they are.

I knew I forgot something, I added a few smilies. I'm being gently silly. Of course, all writers give their editors headaches -- It's a tradition!

Shhh, you aren't supposed to just go and say it! The newbies are supposed to suffer!I knew I forgot something, I added a few smilies. I'm being gently silly. Of course, all writers give their editors headaches -- It's a tradition!
Yeah, I avoid asparagus for the texture of the heads. Never found mushrooms to be slimy raw., though
It better not be a reality tumor...

More than that: they're capable of taking the Half-Dragon Template.
I'll leave the mechanics (HAH!) of that to your imagination.
Prince Charon
Just zis guy, you know?
You can stick a half-dragon/dragonborn/et cetra template on basically anything, IIRC, even a 747 or an AK-47. D&D dragons are like bards that way, even in settings where bards can't do that.

"Amy?"
"Yes mom?"
"Why is there what looks to be the unholy child of a lizard and a .357 magnum in the old baby cradle?"
"Uh... I was drunk?"
"..."
"Mom?"
"..."
"DAD! Mom blue screened again! Shhh, it's okay Maggie. Momma's here now."
Prince Charon

Like that, yeah. I've seriously considered having a half-dragon, half-very magical sword show up in a game (possibly half faerie dragon).

The templates can't actually be applied to anything. It has to be a living creature. Thus applying them to a weapon for example, yeah, that doesn't work. The half dragon template is basically that one of your parents is a dragon, probably due to the dragon polymorphing into a humanoid form. And Polymorph Self can't be used to become an inanimate object.

You are correct, but it's still hilarious to imagine.

Gives a new meaning to the phrase "heart attack."
And then Simurgh finds a way to do it anyway, because she's a [REBEL].

You think that's silly, I was once allowed to play a true abomination. My character was a Young (template) half-dragon, half celestial, half devil (I think), half half giant, half elf. The character was absolutely nuts, but was still in line with the rest of the party. We started at level 10 with 500k gold in equipment each. It was fully expected none of us would survive the mega dungeon the campaign was centered around. Hell, it was expected that we wouldn't survive past maybe the 3rd of 20 floors.
A couple of us died in the first level of the dungeon.
EDIT: And yes, I'm aware that the half-fiend (I checked) template requires an evil alignment while the half-celestial template requires a good alignment. I'd proposed the character as a joke, and the DM actually approved it. So I shrugged and rolled up my abomination result of what must have been a really weird harem.

Ok, first, only gods who wield clubs, maces and hammers can participate.
So, representing Greece, we have Heracles and his mythical club of olive wood.
Representing the Celts, we have Dagda, weilding Lorg Mor.
Representing Sumeria, we have Ninurta, with his mace Sarur.
For Persia, We have Tishtriya and his mace.
For India, we have Vishnu, and his mace Kaumodaki.
Also for India, we have Shiva and his mace, Gada.
Representing the Norse Mythos, we have Thor and his hammer Mjolnir!
Representing the Finns, it's Ukko, also wielding a hammer, named Ukonvasara.
For the side of Evil, in a one time appearance, we have Morgoth Bauglir and the mighty mace, Grond!
For our judges, We have a panel assembled of gods and goddesses of Law, Judgement, and Wisdom.
Chronepsis, Tyr, Athena, Varuna, Marduk, Mandos, Zeus, and Belenus!
To make sure all judgements are binding, they are overseen by the law firm of Loki, Lucifer, and Thoth.
Our contestants should remember that they get points deducted for every mortal city they destroy, and for every mortal death they cause.
Let the contest of Whack-An-Endbringer begin!
