If this is a D&D setting, then it's functionally no different than any of those other examples, and the quirks of the setting aren't changed.Originally Posted by Madokar
If those other things can "bring the pain", and someone does something "against their interest", then the ways the DM deals with that situation are no different regardless of whether it's epic wizard, ancient dragon, or an "earthbound" deity.
Epic is epic.

Re: Physical gods?
It is one thing to suspend your disbelief. It is another thing entirely to hang it by the neck until dead.
Verisimilitude -- n, the appearance or semblance of truth, likelihood, or probability.
The concern is not realism in speculative fiction, but rather the sense that a setting or story could be real, fostered by internal consistency and coherence.
