game I'm planning is pretty much a divine battle royale
any tips for roleplaying shiva or any other specific god would be appreciated

Pretty alright, Lord Shiva only destroys bad things.

>murderhobo not considered bad

K bud

Pretty fucked, s/he's pretty up there as far as diety powerlevels go.

We could pop the lid on Nyarlathotep and let them duke it out, but let's be real, that's a spite move because whoever wins, we lose. The Outer God we have trapped in a diamond forged in a neutron star is our nuclear deterrent. We've been using it to keep dieties off the world for a while, but if one of them has finally called that 'bluff', well.

I think Narly would be right well fucked if Shiva came around. The only Lovecraft diety that might stand a chance is Azathoth, maybe.

Shiva could easily destroy Nyarlathotep.

In the same way he could easily destroy literally anything. Infinite power is a hell of a thing.

He's already here. Well, one of his aspects is, at least. Hinduism can be confusing. But yeah, Shiva Nataraja has shown up a few times to help us out with his cosmic dancing skills.

We might stand a chance against the winner.

More of a chance than we would have before the battle, anyway. We've fought gods before, but Shiva... Yeah, I don't fancy the odds.

DESIGNATED

SHITTING

>implying he is playing DnD

Roll to seduce?

STREETS

Infinity minus infinity is still infinity. If you're not an infinitely powerful deity, you can't beat Shiva.

POO

Can Shiva withstand THICCpost rolls?

>destroying evildoers
>not entirely in keeping with Shiva's sphere

Ho hum, kiddo.

IN

THE

We specialise in dealing with abstract concepts. It'd actually be more difficult if it was simply an arbitrarily high number. The only reason we have a chance at all is because it's infinite as opposed to just extremely large.

We can work with infinity.

LOO

I guess the world gains a new superheroine? There's a handful of deific superheroes around already.

Shiva only destroys evil anyway.
Moron.

>Heroine
>Literally the divine manifestation of all that is male

Yeah okay bud.

This desu. He once proved he was the true god by displaying an infinite pillar of fire (lingum) aka penis

Is he armed with the Pashupatastra? He's not actually too terrifying without it.

I call on YHWH. She gets her shit stomped.

>he doesn't know that Shiva is an aspect of YHWH or vice versa depending on the shade of infinity

I, for one, welcome our psychedelic many-armed overlords.

>all gods are the same god
Yaldabaoth go home you're drunk

To be fair, if Azathoth woke up, we'd all cease to exist, Shiva included, due to all of reality being within its' dream anyways so it wouldn't matter.

I typed in "superhero", but it autocorrected.
Actually just happened again. I guess superhero to is not a word to my phone but superheroine is?

Unless Azathoth is part of the reality that the Trimurti/Brahma are responsible for creating.

Post YFW the God of War series has Kratos take on Shiva next

as fucked as your mother was last night you cunt

Does he fight things outside of Greek myth?

S H I T T I N G

>Azathoth is part of the reality
Reality is just Azathoth's dream. Does Azathoth dream himself into being? That is not clarified.

He fights the Norse gods now.

Shiva is a bro. We'd be fine.

No, YHWH is god and Shiva is just some middling demon.

Depends on the setting.

What's with all the shitlords in this thread?

/pol/ and /int/ meme. Just ignore it and they'll go away.

Have /pol/ and /int/ formed an unholy alliance?

What's the matter, Sanjay? Can't handle the bantz?

Stop shitting in the street and maybe you'll earn some respect.

No, the meme originated on /int/ in response to anything even slightly related to India. /pol/ adopted it because "lolracism."

We call his manifestation Harihara to deal with him.

That's not how Azathoth works

Pretty sure that doesn't work.

says you, Harihara is the combined aspect of both Shiva and Vishnu and would be stronger then the two individually.

Or I guess we can call up Ardha who is the fusion of Shiva and his wife Parvati

SMT: Digital Devil Saga

> Harihara is the combined aspect of both Shiva and Vishnu and would be stronger then the two individually.
fanwank garbage

Obviously I'm making up the bit about power levels. Frankly it wouldn't matter seeing as the Triumvirati are all aspects of Brahman anyways.

Regardless, more DDD here's Indra.

>SMT

While mechanically sound and generally possessing solid plots, SMT absolutely murders the lore and designs from Hinduism.

Seriously, they gave Narasimha a fucking sword.

That's Harihara's design in Digital Devil Saga

We retire. I mean really, the moment Shiva pops up then it's pretty clear that it means we no longer have to stop the BBEG. At the absolute most we'd just have to worry about the Rogue and Wizard getting slapped around for a bit for pushing their luck with borderline evil actions.

Shiva the destroyer actually IS planned to show up in my campaign next session. I've got to put her on demi-god tier power though since she's not in full god form. Give me ways to make the battle absolutely insane, I've got a couple of things, but I would love Anons input. I'm running GURPS with heavy focus on Cinematic Combat. The players are Dante from Devil May Cry power level without his demon form stuff or Neo from The Matrix. So basically they are CUHHRAYZZZEEEE and the more cool cinematic stuff the better.

I'm not going to deny that, but then I take it as just the Japanese sentiment to multiple deities and such and ulitmately as far as DDD is concerned it gets the basic point across about obtaining enlightenment and becoming one with the cosmos and all of that shit present in the fact that the one who did do that (Serapah who is a combined version of Sera and Serph) was the one who went on to go on crazy inter dimensional shenangans with sherodinger while Sera and Serph and the others got reincarnated back on earth as children

If you're running BURPS, then you need your not-Shiva to be this guy

>Her

The setting is sailing age, so I'll have to bend it, but I can make it work. Are you talking about Arnold or the T1000? If T1000, I'm not sure how they would kill it.

Well fuck, apparently I don't know shit about Hindu religions. I was apparently thinking more of Kali than Shiva anyways.

The Japanese just can't into Hinduism or the Middle East They fucked up with Fate too.

I don't see that skinny ass T1000 holding a minigun in that scene

You got a point there. Honestly I didn't watch it since I've seen that movie so many times and I already know the scene by heart. I figured it would include the T1000 scenes with the helicopter.

Kali is probably who you're thinking of. Most Hindu Deities are really benevolent with Kali being a major exception.

So how do I make badass Kali? I was thinking of giving her the ability to grow multiple arms and being really REALLY fast. As far as specifics on fast I was thinking Cell Saga DBZ fast.

Speed and Multiple arms are a great start. One of her big aspects is time, so you could fluff her speed as time shenanigans. Also, emphasize her bloodthirst. While she's worshiped as a destroyer of evil, nearly every depiction of her is a blood-crazed berserker. Also, try to incorporate dancing. Maybe as a fighting style.

Having defeated and absorbed the power of creation from Amaterasu, Odin, and Osiris, as well as a smattering of lesser gods, the party would stand a chance. Shiva is still a few leagues above them so I'd imagine some fable-hero trickery would be due to defeat him.

Could Gold Experience Requiem stop Shiva?

>fable-hero trickery

I want to see what they would come up with to try and trick him.

No.

You're fucked desu

didn't made it past HighSchool heh ?

Possibly. GER is something of a no limits fallacy problem

Do you want to know the best part user?
Instead of a dumb fun hack n slash game it will now be a MUH CINEMATIC the last of us ripoff where you play kratos and look after your wife's son.

I guess every street in Detroit is covered in poo now. Not that much worse than regular Detroit actually.

Shiva, like many others have already said is bro tier god. He is overwhelmingly powerful and can destroy the universe by dancing, which makes everyone else look like fucking try hards by comparison.

However, Shiva doesn't really fuck up shit with out good reason. Unless certain major events happen or the cycle reaches certain points he won't do much other than chill and do Hindu god shit, mainly sitting at his mountain meditating, and fucking. However he is bro tier cause he loves giving people gifts. Like if anyone prays to him enough or shows enough devotion he will give them anything. Seriously, it doesn't matter if they are pure good, or an evil cunt, he just is like you want to be 99% invincible, sure.

Shiva will provide a great opportunity for a neutral deity in the campaign. The BBEG, or even minor villains could have received a boon or a weapon from him, or the party could try to gain his favor for same stuff. Either way he will most likely be impartial to most shit.

Well, since we're on the Spire in Planescape - Shiva is in more trouble than us.

I do like that aspect about him (same with the other devas really) and aside from Ravana being a dick he actually does have a lot of what would be hero qualities about him being an excellent king and scholar as well as being an uber badass warrior and his devotion to Shiva given him a stank full of power.

underrated dubdubs

Considering I'm not evil or ignorant, fine

Kali isn't fucking evil

She's a ferocious demon slayer who liberates people from evil thoughts

she once was fighting a demon that replicated itself from every drop of blood spilled, kicked its ass until it became a massive army that surrounded her, then turned her sweat into an army of thugee cultists with yellow ribbons to strangle the demons to death

...thuggee pls go

She drank all of the blood to defeat him

I don't think she could take on Shiva, I mean as powerful as she is even she can't compare to Shiva. But since Shiva doesn't fuck with shit unless he has reason to the Lady would most likely just glare at him while he mediates/fuck his wife.

and then wifey kills her shit for giving her a dirty look

>she

Why do so many people seem to think Shiva is a chick? Kali is his wife/female aspect.

Also, Hindu deities were at Yahweh powerlevels before Yahweh was.

To a Westerner Shiva is a pretty feminine sounding name desu.

She's not Evil yes, but she's not nearly as benevolent as other gods.

Japan.

My tip is because the Shiva summon in FF is female.

shiva is a dude
a stupid sexy pretty dude, but a dude.

FFS that's just a pun.

Shiva. 'Shiver.'
