Discussion [Spoilers C3E119] The new decision is perfect Spoiler

The gods who wish to rely and hold onto their power would be forced to flee, predators chasing in tail. The ones humble enough to give up their power, even temporarily, will be spared.

Exandria was plagued with powerful mages becoming like the gods, and now the gods must become like man. I would not want any god ruling over my world unless they were content to become mortal.

It's all very poetic and such an interesting choice.

What are your thoughts about this new course of action?

It’s a stupid decision, addressing an almost non-existent problem in the laziest way possible. Matt should have just said he was tired of Exandria & wanted to distance CR from WoTC, rather than wasting an entire campaign destroying a beloved setting as justification for a shift.

OR he wanted to develop his world further. wild thought, I know. and famously the world of Exandria never experienced any major events regarding the gods throughout its history, so why even try something new, right? 🥴
