Do you know where I can find a stat block for a God
There are very few official resources for god stat blocks, at least for 5e D&D.
My guess is that PCs aren't technically supposed to be able to fight and win against gods. Giving a god a statblock--that is, turning it into a creature with an AC and hit points and saving throw bonuses--makes a god fallible and beatable. If you don't want your players to be able to fight and win against a god, do not give the god a stat block. The existence of a statblock limits what the god can do in combat and creates the possibility, however small, that they could lose.
If you do want players to be able to potentially challenge a god once they're very high level, there are a few ways to craft a god's statblock.
The closest D&D gets to having a godly stat block are the Aspect of Tiamat and Aspect of Bahamut stat blocks from Fizban's Treasury of Dragons. It's unclear to what extent we should understand these stat blocks as "godly," Take a look at those two statblocks and consider using them as a baseline from which to develop a new and reflavored divine being. This is probably your best bet, since all you've really got to do is change damage types and attack flavor to suit your new god.
The second way is to build a god from mortals. I have my own method for building a god stat block, which involves starting from a level 20 NPC stat block and adding new features like additional ability score points, a legendary resistance that recharges each round, and a certain level of damage resistance/immunity. I basically run this "upgrade" to godhood like granting levels to a Sidekick NPC per the rules in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. This option is good for more elaborate god creation and more control over specific elements if pre-existing stat blocks feel too limiting for you.
(I'm being deliberately non-specific here because I have players who follow this blog and & I'd hate to ruin the surprise about how their potential fight with Bane might go.)
Gods should also not be easy to kill regardless of how powerful your players are, so one feature I recommend is that when a god is brought to 0hp, their physical form discorporates and they can re-form in their divine domain. Giving your homebrew god special legendary actions and other features that fit in with their domain is also crucial; if all the god of the forge can do is throw off a fireball once a round or hit with a flaming maul, it's not much different from battling a powerful paladin. Ensure that your homebrew god has unique, tactical powers that draw from their domain.

okay so I checked that tag on your blog and ctrl-F'ed for "Ziz". The oldest post you have with that string of characters is something mentioning Ziz in passing in a context assuming the reader is familiar with them. The second oldest post is a brick wall of incomprehensible what-the-fuckery about "mindhacking" people just like the one I was responding to. I do not feel more enlightened.
It's crazy people. Like, it's very obvious from my perch thousands of miles away that it's crazy people and I'm not 100% sure exactly what happened in any incident, so I'm not sure how enlightening it can be. If other people's drama or Rationalist gossip doesn't interest you, it's not worth digging through.

my god i am ADORING the fontaine world quests so much they are so good
#personal stuff#thorn plays genshin#i love how they all show different sides of fontaine while also being connected!!!! and we get pieces of the puzzle with each quest!!#all the alice in wonderland imagery too. caterpillar........ also lyris being called the ''red empress''.....like the red queen perhaps?#and taking everyone back to the ordo after each quest is so cool and satisfying because it really feels like it's building to something#and we'll finally get to see the whole puzzle and figure everything out and AUUGH.#just the whole doomsday clock + the ??? domain talking about the apocalypse and how no more civilizations will be made#and caterpillar's comment that maybe we're already living in the apocalypse. HMM. maybe we are#jsut AUUGH. it's so so so cool. i love lore :]#though each one is supremely fucked up in different ways. and i love it#ann's whole thing with Stories and how what stories are told about you shape who you are as a person#and all the alice in wonderland stuff in her quest#the whole thing with elynas and jakob in seymour's quest. plus the book of revealing with canotila.#then everything about the Master that we learn from caterpillar???#me going on the wiki like hey what the fuck is going on. and going WAIT THE INSTITUTE AND THE ORDO ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS#okay that makes more sense. the institute split and the ordo was made of the people who believed in the abyss and apocalypse stuff#OH MY GOD ALAIN AND MARY-ANN ARE SIBLINGS. sorry this is not a huge reveal i just didn't know what their connection was#i'm not reading all the artifact descriptions sorry </3#anyway i'm psyched i love siblings.#ALAIN MADE HER A ROBOTIC DOG TO PROTECT HER. cries and explodes forever i love you sibligns. wtf#but yea the master being a fucked up rebirth combo of lyris and rene.#and caterpillar possibly being created from the master's memory of carter who was also ''prepped for rebirth'' by rene before his dissolvin#NO BUT ACTUALLY WHAT THE FUCK. in ann's story lyris giving up her ''time'' to freeze narcissus. what the fuck was that about#with the context that she and rene dissolved and were stripped of personality to become the Master which caterpillar calls narzissenkreuz#?????????#god. remember when i said i felt like i needed a corkboard and red string to figure this stuff out. still true#i could just read the wiki but the black + white contrast makes my head hurty. thank you <3

Alice and Ziz are both real people and both bonkers. I have more of a grudge against Alice because she stole thousands of dollars from me in the form of not paying her share of the rent for several months and then skipping town, but Ziz seems also bad, based largely on her writings. My one in person observation of Ziz was her criticizing LW people to their face at length and being listened to and taken seriously, a cis woman saying "no one in LW ever listens when I criticize them like this." 1/2
Tumblr media
So Alice is a real person, your shitty old roommate who owes you money (btw that sounds like something that's pretty identifying, not sure how much good being on anon is going to do you), and as unhinged, obnoxious, and pettily criminal as the rest of them. Interesting data point, hopefully I'll still have this blog next time one or more of this bunch manages to commit a crime that hits the news.
And hopefully I won't be personally involved with any of it. God I'm glad I didn't get involved with Less Wrong.

rules: shuffle your repeat playlist and post the first ten tracks, then tag ten people
I was tagged by @greenslime69!! Thanks so much bestie I love subjecting my music taste to strangers <3
I'm gonna have to bend the rules a bit because i haven't used Spotify (or any other streaming service that would generate a playlist) in over a month now, so the "On Repeat" playlist from there is slightly outdated. What I HAVE been listening to on repeat has been my complete works playlists of Lady Gaga and Carly Rae Jepsen, which are basically just complications of the CDs I own. So, instead of shuffling the repeat playlist to get 10 songs, I will take the first 7 songs from that, then 2 from the Lady Gaga playlist, then 1 from Carly Rae Jepsen (since i just transitioned from Gaga to Carly a few days ago, Carly gets less).
Without further ado:
1) Camisado - Panic! At The Disco
2) Pink Lemonade - James Bay
3) Misery Business - Paramore
4) Lightning - Charli XCX
5) Northern Downpour - Panic! At The Disco
6) Love Me More - Mitski
7) Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met) - Panic! At The Disco
8) Bloody Mary - Lady Gaga
9) Telephone (feat. Beyoncé) - Lady Gaga
10) The Sound - Carly Rae Jepsen
And that's that!
As for tagging others, I don't actually have 10 people that I can think of to tag, so if you see this and want to participate, please do! You can say I tagged you if you'd like :-)
