If these were to be pitted up against various other gods, who would win?

BLIND IO!... I know, I've been reading to many Terry Prachet books... wait, is such thing even possible?... But yeah, throw down some basic info on the gods saying that its doubtly that many people study pantheons of gods

Well, it was a random thought, and I figured *someone* must know more about them than I do...

Yeah, From Chinese Legend, He's a Chaos god. That's a Monkey that rides on a magic cloud, wields a quarter staff. and defeateed all of the Chinese Gods, only to be tricked into doing good by Buddha.

Ok, we have to hunt down some art work for david.

Basically, you need to boil it down to the respective gods of war, since they'd be doing most of the work.

It's safe to assume that Yahweh would get creamed for, despite supposedly being magnificent creators, their war-tactics revolve entirely around propeganda and scare-tactics. When it comes to a fight, we all remember the bible passage about his hail reservoirs. He'd get carved to oblivion while hurling ice at gods like Thor and Zeus.

The Hindu gods tend to unravel reality, but they aren't really *fighters* per se. I see them being really untouchable but not winning a hell of a lot.

The Egyptian gods are neat, but they have MANY inherent and human-like weaknesses. Ditto the Greek and Norse gods but, I'd give the edge to the Norse boys. Many of them existed just to do some scrapping, and they had nice armadas or heroes and demigods for that purpose.

The Sumerian gods are universally wusses. They couldn't beat PEOPLE, in some cases I recall. Again, great creators, lousy fighters.

The Native American spirits wouldn't do much...ditto most of the african aboriginal gods I'm familiar with...I mean, they just wouldn't CARE.

Now...the Aztec gods. Those guys were just BRUTAL. They weren't all creators, but they were all badass killers, psychopaths and powerful obliterators, often kept in check by each other. Even their gentle fertility gods needed to see blood flow regularly. It's a toss up as to whether they could take the Norse warriors, but they'd be serious contenders.

I would say the Greek gods win. Becuase there are many of them,
they have sort of an army. And with Zeus able to make people on
demand, they could gather intel and bring supplies to the Greek
gods.

They'd be owned big time, even by the Norse gods. They are even easier to kill than the Norse Gods.

My gods ARE the Egyptian gods, or variations there of. So its an unanswerable question :)

The Vedic Gods could probably own every other pantheon in the whole world simultaneously.

Osiris was killed by Set in one of the myths.

On-Topic: I never saw the Egyptian pantheon as powerful fighters, great at magic, but not great warriors.

Any real fighting pantheon would defeat them.

Well if we go with the stats the good old Marvel Super-heroes RPG :P gives the various deities of different mythologies, the Egyptian pantheon would get switly chrushed by either the Norse- or Greek pantheon in a direct engagement.
Zeus would cream half the of the Egyptian's with out breaking a sweat and Odin wouldn't do all that much worse.

Who was Set? Another God? And no one ever said magic was to be discounted.

And what about the almighty buddha?
