Scion (Tabletop Game)	comment	Scion is a tabletop roleplaying game by White Wolf, though not one that takes place in either of that company's trademark Worlds of Darkness. Instead the setting is the world as we know it, but there's one big difference: the various gods and goddesses of mankind's pagan pantheons really exist. The myths about them are true, and they do walk the Earth in human guise, looking for men or women to mate with.Player characters are the offspring of such unions, making them technically demigods, though in game terms they are referred to as Scions. They grew up unaware of their nonhuman heritage, until one day they received a visitation from their divine parent, and were told the truth about their origins.Being a demigod sounds cool, but there is a catch: the Titans, ancient powerful entities, and your grandparents on the important side of the family, once vanquished and imprisoned by the gods, are breaking free, and a cosmic war has begun between the two. The characters must join the fight, and in the process grow in power until they too become gods in their own right.Think of it as Exalted meets American Gods or The Wicked + The Divine.The rulebook (Scion: Hero) includes six possible pantheons to choose from, using the time-tested White Wolf concept of making members of different groups team up into a motley crew. They are: the Pesedjet (Egyptian), Dodekatheon (Greek), Aesir (Norse), Amatsukami (Japanese), Atzlanti (Aztec), and Loa (Voodoo). Additional pantheons include the Tuatha De Danann (Irish), the Celestial Bureaucracy (Chinese), and the Devas (Hindu) from Scion Companion, as well as nationalistic pantheons of America and the Allies in the same sourcebook for running games during World War II, and it's implied that yet more pantheons exist as well - there's a PDF covering the Yazata, the Persian pantheon (Yazata: The Persian Gods), as well as a supplement not available in English detailing the Gaulish pantheon; several fan-made pantheons can be found on the net as well. There is also the Atlantean pantheon, although they are canonically dead after having been corrupted by the Titans; details on the actual pantheon and their Cosmology are in Demigod, while the pantheon's original Virtues (Duty, Intellect, Order, Piety) and Purview (Scire) are in Scion Companion.At GenCon 2012, it was announced that Scion had been acquired outright by Onyx Path Publishing, a company set up to handle White Wolf's tabletop RPGs, and a new edition was planned.2e changes things up, with the corebook, Scion: Origin, covering ordinary and supernaturally-touched mortals, including pre-visitation Scions, holy people of the pantheons, sorcerers and Fatebound mortals, along with minor supernaturals such as kitsune and satyrs. Hero 2e enables the creation of fully-fledged Scions, who now come in a number of types: being the child of a god, as in 1e; being directly created by a god; being chosen by a god; and being the reincarnation of a dead hero or god. It also offers ten core pantheons, nine of which are revised from 1e - Netjer (Egyptian), Theoi (Greek), Aesir (Norse), TeÅ�tl (Aztec), Kami (Japanese), Ã“rÃshÃ¡ (Yoruba; an ancestral pantheon of Voodoo's Loa), Tuatha dÃ© Danann (Irish), ShÃ©n (Chinese) and DevÃ¡ (Hindu) - with the tenth being the Manitou (Native American Algonquin). Further pantheons are planned for later books, including Native Australian mythology.The game's default setting has also received a major shakeup, with the assumption of a World of Darkness-like state in which the mythical is hidden away from the public replaced with a more in-depth look at the realistic implications of powerful gods and monsters existing throughout and influencing history, both openly and behind the scenes. The modern-day World is one where pagan religions are popular and accepted, and where the mythical hides in plain sight, with tengu nests among Japan's skyscrapers and Norwegian government troll preserves.A Kickstarter campaign to get 2e Origin and Hero into stores launched in late September 2016. It was fully funded in less than an hour and by its end had exceeded its original goal by over $300,000. Completed stretch goals enabled, among other things, introductory fiction by Kieron Gillen, the game's license being opened up to fans and other companies, and the creation of a 2e Companion featuring the Loa (Vodou), Nemetondevos (Gaulish), and Yazata (Persian), with 1e's Atlantean pantheon being used as the example for building your own pantheon, reimagined in terms of New Gods-style divine technology. The second edition was officially released on June 5, 2019. A campaign for 2e Demigod was held in September 2020, with the book's pantheons including the Anunna (Mesopotamian), Apu (Incan), Atua (Polynesian), Bogovi (Slavic), and Tengri (Mongolian), which is available for purchase as of July 2022. The campaign for 2e God was held in October 2022, which added yet more pantheons: the Balahala (Visayan Philippine), the Ilhm (Phoenician), the K'uh (Mayan), the PÄ�las (Buddhist), and the ZemÃ (TaÃno).A funding campaign ran in January/February 2021 for two supplements: Dragon, which allows you to play as descendants of Dragons, and Masks of the Mythos, which introduces a pantheon based on the Cthulhu Mythos.Has a characters page.Not to be confused with the Tomb Raider artifact, the Toyota car, or the CrossGen comic.

Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_12b045	type	Winds of Destiny, Change!
Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_12b045	comment	2E plays with this; it becomes harder and harder to Screw Destiny the greater in power you are (it's the one thing that keeps a God constrained enough to not be a Titan), but Fate selects against this trope-because it only assigns Fatebound roles to people who are currently amenable to the idea (so it only make someone who already has good chemistry with you a Paramour, and only someone with reason to hate you a Nemesis). Even once that happens, mortals and people lower on the Legend pole still have mostly free will-it doesn't influence their actions, it changes probability so that actions that further their roles become easier and narratively fitting (it induces affectionate scenes around the Paramour, and gives the Nemesis lucky escapes and chances to get strong enough to pose a fair fight). And if you're a mortal, that's all it does-if you go against your role, it results in some bad luck before Fate gets the message and either de-Binds you or changes your role. Fear of stronger Fatebinding is why Gods remain hands-off (they don't want to be Fatebound to their own versions of Ragnarok).

Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_1a237409	comment	Order Versus Chaos: Explicitly defined as part of the core rules in first edition — normal Virtues define a code of behavior, while the Titanic Dark Virtues are raw survivalism, with a side of selfishness. 2E downplays this; Divine Virtues are recognizable as moral behavior (and thus accept human limits), but Titanic ones are defined by the Purviews the Titan has, without concern for moral behavior at all. Plenty of Titans have one Titanic Virtue and one Divine Virtue, however, especially ones known to be fond of humans without actually believing they are more important than their concepts or working with Gods.

Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_2260cfe3	comment	Like Father, Like Son: Scions sometimes hew very closely to their divine parent. The signature Scion of Horus, for instance, is driven to seek justice against his fratricidal uncle Seth. In first edition this was mechanically encouraged by making it significantly easier for Scions to gain and raise traits they had in common with their parents. In second edition, a Scion just needs to share one Purview — an area they have power over, such as Fire or Sun — and one Calling — a mythical role such as Warrior or Lover — out of three with their parent, and otherwise have no mechanical incentives to resemble them.

Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_2cfee88	type	Everybody Hates Hades
Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_2cfee88	comment	Everybody Hates Hades: Averted - Hades is probably the god with the least amount of issues in his pantheon (though he's not happy about the ex-planet Pluto's demotion). The other death gods largely get a fair shake as well. About the only major exception is Miclantecuhtli of the Atzlanti, who is pretty much a Jerkass - 1e Hero describes him as "suffering a permanent case of schadenfreude". Then again, with the possible exceptions of QuetzalcoÃ¡tl and Tlazolteotlnote And she's a goddess of shit, none of the Atzlanti are really portrayed in a flattering light. This extends to the Scions; of the four official examples, one is a psychotic self-mutilator, one uses the flayed skin of a woman to change sexes, one is a self-hating Death Seeker, and the other, after ascending to godhood, is pretty much disgusted with his own pantheon. And even that's averted in 2e, which paints Miclantecuhtli—and the TeÅ�tl as a whole—in a much better light.

This is explicitly the difference between evil gods and the Titans; on some level all the gods care about mortals and the World. Even the most bloodthirsty of the Aztec pantheon does not indulge in mass slaughter just For the Evulz and even Loki, as malevolent as he is, draws the line somewhere. For example while Loki just wants to survive Ragnarok and preferably get ultimate power along the way, Surtur on the other hand wants to burn the World to ash. And Surtur is hardly alone among the Titan avatars in wanting genocide, making the World uninhabitable or both.

So far, she remains unique in the sample Scions to have originated that way, but theoretically any God or Goddess with the right focus on Epic Appearance could do so. Loki, for obvious reasons, is an excellent candidate for having done this.

Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_550a5d51	comment	You Are the Translated Foreign Word: In response to many complaints by fans of the 1st edition that the featured Pantheon names were historically, mythologically or linguistically inaccurate (for example, the word "Dodekatheon" specifically refers to the Twelve Olympians of Greek mythology, and as such shouldn't include Hades), Onyx Path Publishing decided to go down this route. Almost as soon as this was revealed, a minority among the fans started complaining that this didn't actually make things any better, since "the word 'Gods' in each people's language" is perfectly applicable, by the speakers of each, to all gods everywhere, rather than just the members of each culture's own Pantheon (e.g. to a Japanese speaker, Poseidon is every bit as much of a "Kami" as Izanagi). A third group argues that, with most ancient peoples having not designed their views of the cosmos with the intention of accommodating the creation of future roleplaying games and thus not having a special title for their own gods, considered to be a natural part of the world, the only intellectually honest way of going about things was to either use the boring but accurate "The [Culture's] Gods" for all the Pantheons, or to embrace the silliness fully and use whatever sounds cooler.

However, even if this is the true secret origin of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, it's emphatically stated that they don't know that - even the Order of Divine Glory, the true secret cult at the heart of things, is not only regarded by the mainstream churches as just a particularly eccentric group of missionaries, but actually believes its own doctrine, to the point it's noted it would probably execute its own inner circle as heretics for admitting that there really are other Gods besides God Himself. On the other hand, Aten is explicitly stated to be more of a corruption of monothestic belief into arrogance more than anything, and the Order's success would lead to the end of destructive divine rivalries. That, and the Order deliberately selects for people in the Saintly Church mode of things - both characters shown are Actual Pacifists who genuinely want to better the world.

The closest things to truly unknowable beings (the Greater Titans) aren't truly malevolent (hell, a possible ending to Ragnarok involves convincing Muspelheim that it's in his best interests to only burn away the toxic parts of the Earth), and much of the theme involves taking the "chaotic, dark power" and either kicking it across the room or turning it into something useful. The very point of Masks of the Mythos, a supplement about Cthulhu Mythos in Scion - more specifically, how to play Scions of the Mythos, who do not inherently lose their human moral compass at all. In fact, a heroic Mythos Scion is probably the worst enemy a genuinely malicious Mythos cult has, and one of the factors of Awareness is its capacity to Screw Destiny; part of the appeal of the Old Ones is partial freedom from Fate.

Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_575fd5e2	comment	Dark Is Not Evil: A given Player Character may be the child of one or the other death gods if the player so chooses, which will make him/her pretty dark, but not evil. Well not necessarily evil. However since many of the gods are not especially kind (as a rule), and the concept appeals to many players who wish to play an evil character, evil Scions of a Death God are not uncommon. And if both general disposition of the player and general disposition of the character fail to make a Death God evil, it's not totally unlikely that Fate will try to force a god to become evil. It's also worth noting that you can become an actual God of Darkness, who may or may not be evil. It's also worth noting that the majority of evil crap that happens in the official setting is not instigated by Death Gods, but by Trickster Gods (particularly Loki) and the Titans (who are just as likely to be examples of Light Is Not Good).

Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_59fe174d	comment	Devil, but No God: In first edition, the various Gods and Titans are all eventually killable making them simply more powerful forms of mortal life. There is a Titan imitating God, but God as a Supreme Being and Creator of All does not appear. The closest you get is Fate itself, but that is controlled by mortals. There are a fair number of beings that appear to be Christian but are actually divine identity hijackers (which is an easy way of gaining legend and power). There is mention that Jehovah actually existed but promptly disappeared and was replaced by Aten who is a frickin Titan. Pan has taken on the role of Lucifer and because of fatebinding actually BECAME demonic. Then again, it's not as if The Devil is present in the setting either. The 1e Companion reveals that the Abrahamic God does not exist - anymore, at least, and if he ever lived he was a normal God. Aten hijacked his image as part of a Xanatos Gambit that spectacularly backfired when the Order of Divine Glory developed an ideology anathema to the Titan. He may someday, though, if the Order has its way... 2E downplays this; it's outright stated that the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God may be a Mantle - and given how Mantles work, vice versa - of 'Ila, the king of the Ilhm, the Phoenician Pantheon, but that is up to the Storyteller. If he is, then it is an outright subversion, as 'Ila is magnanimous, kind, and wise, even allowing other pantheons to be worshiped at his religion's temples and letting the nicer of the two Satanic Archetypes of the Ilhm, Anat, to say her piece at meetings.

One of the biggest headaches the Gods (and their children) have to suffer through is figuring out how to make a difference in the world without being Fatebound into a metaphorical (or in some unlucky cases, literal) brick wall. Few have suffered so much from the inescapable hands of Fate as the Aesir, the Norse pantheon. The doom of Ragnarok is so prevalent in their prophecies and mythologies, that their leader, Odin, pretty much spends all his thought and time doing two things: Looking for a way to avoid it, or making everything work out fine in spite of it. No success on the former, but potentially promising results on the latter. Key word being "potentially". This is revealed to be the primary motivation behind Loki's convoluted plan in 1e's core books. He succeeds, breaking free from his Fate-given role by hijacking Muspelheim and becoming a Greater Titan himself in Scion: God.

Special notation must go to Poseidon, who actually gets a new level of Jerkass given to him by the revelation of how the Minotaurs were made in this setting. The Atzlanti are the only pantheon to still require human sacrifices, to the point that their pantheon purview is fuelled best by it. The Aztec Death God is also the biggest jerk of all the canonical death gods, even compared to Hel or The Morrigan. Much less common in 2E, which paints the pantheons in general in a more positive light.

They not only are free of any human shaping, making them hard for the human mind to comprehend, but they also shape reality simply by existing. The one that most stands out, however, is Hundun - Chaos. Unlike other Titans, it can't be defined in any way. Canonically, it is one of two Greater Titans that never got imprisoned nor submitted to the gods. The other was Vritra, Titan of Drought, but while Vritra avoided imprisonment by shrinking until they couldn't find it, Hundun simply can't be imprisoned. Fortunately, it can't define itself, so it's not very proactive and doesn't have Avatars like the other Titans. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean good things for its pantheon adversary, the Chinese Celestial Bureaucracy, who'd easily crush a well-defined enemy with a well-organized force - if there was something definite to organize against.

Places under his influence become temporally screwy themselves (an example adventure features the Scions encountering Coyote... as he was in the Wild West, and he quickly realizes he shouldn't be there as if that's nothing strange). In 2e, the entire setting is a mess of this, as becoming a God retroactively changes history so that they were always that way. The Dragons (introduced in a supplement) also have a bit of this — they remember the time before the Gods started screwing around with fate, and they have Memories that can extend into the future. Some dead dragons can actually be viable patrons to their Heirs, directing them with Memories just like any other dragon, because of stuff they set up in advance of their own deaths.

Even individual gods can have values dissonance from their fellows depending on how they prioritize their Virtues. The best example is the Atzlanti; whereas even the many other pantheons who practiced animal sacrifice have given it up, the Aztec gods still practice - indeed, demand - human sacrifice. This makes the other pantheons leery of them at best. The viewpoint Atzlanti character is noted repeatedly to find it hard to balance his modern-day human views with the views of his pantheon.

Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_a86069f	comment	Alternate History: One of the biggest thematic changes in the 2nd edition was to replace the implied yet poorly implemented Masquerade of the first one with an Urban Fantasy setting in which the gods have been involved in human history, such as the Knights Templar aiming to wipe out pantheistic worship during the Crusades and Julius Caesar conquering Gaul to eliminate the Gaulish pantheon and secure his own apotheosis. By default, divine meddling in history isn't public knowledge, but the setting can be customized to suit taste.

For example the sons of Thor and Sun Wukong from the pregen characters have a piece of their divine father's Iconic Item worked into a weapon for them. Another one has the sword Kusanagi (correctly depicted with a straight blade) and the Magatama as gifts from her father.

Even the most bloodthirsty of the Aztec pantheon does not indulge in mass slaughter just For the Evulz and even Loki, as malevolent as he is, draws the line somewhere. For example while Loki just wants to survive Ragnarok and preferably get ultimate power along the way, Surtur on the other hand wants to burn the World to ash. And Surtur is hardly alone among the Titan avatars in wanting genocide, making the World uninhabitable or both.

Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_c3bc970f	comment	Seers: In addition to any Scion or God with the Fortune purview, multiple kinds of seer exist as a Supernatural Path in Second Edition. Prophets do not actually have the ability to perceive the future, but have an intuitive understanding of fate, allowing them to predict it. Since fate runs on storytelling logic in this setting, this makes them Meta Guys par excellence. Meanwhile, Cassandras know precisely what is happening in the moment, but isn't immediately visible, such as the fact that the Trojan Horse is the setup for an ambush, or that the paramedic that just arrived is a shapeshifter in disguise. Unfortunately like their namesake they are cursed to never be believed. Architects seek to defy fate and establish a different vision for the World instead, but success comes at the cost of their life. Heralds focus on the small scale, on an individual or small group, and work to support their charges' Legend, but that can be by steering them towards appropriate challenges just as much as it can be assisting them. Miracleworkers draw on fate to produce wonders, but pushing things too far risks fate reacting by making things more difficult, dangerous, and deadly for them. Oracles have a much clearer view of fate than other seers, but they still have to interpret what they see, and they are left profoundly and permanently changed by their experiences. Prophets are a potential background for Scions, but Cassandras are not and can't ascend beyond mortal tier. All types are useful allies for player characters, including Cassandras, as beings of Legend are immune to the Cassandra's curse.

Title of a sidebar in first edition Hero's included story: "What's in the Egg?" First line of the article: "Gwyneth Paltrow's head! Just kidding." In 1e Hero's included story, one task (assigned by Aphrodite) is to bring a strained couple to love...any sort. The default assumption is that they'll split up, but crafty players can rekindle their love for each other. The paragraph discussing this ends with "In your face, space coyote!" The Mighty Thor "I thought Thor was a blond." And Ragnarok has a sidebar discussing the Aesir's reaction to the comic. Not to mention that the story at the beginning of 1e Hero reveals that Thor has been known to use the alias Don. Donald Blake was the secret identity of the comic book Thor. Freyr bears a striking resemblance to Kevin Sorbo. Athena could easily stand in for a certain Chosen One. One of the relics in the 1e Companion is the Gun Wing mask, which "looks exactly like a flight helmet from any modern-day anime with giant robots and psychic pilots." Amleth's story in Ragnarok combines Shakespeare's Hamlet with the legend it was based on. Header for a sidebar in the 1e Companion on giving all Scions the Scent the Divine Knack: "I can sense you, Highlander". On the Dodekathon's individualism in Extras: "With a heavy-handed approach to individualism, has Atlas yet to shrug? Will a small group of millionaires simply quit and leave the economy in ruins?" Discussing the Loa in Extras: "The more believers they have, the more energon cubes they're fed, and the more powerful they'll grow."

Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_ce75a983	comment	Screw Destiny: Played straight and subverted. The Scions, being the spawn of the gods, are no longer bound by fate's script. Subverted in that when you do use your god-given powers you run the risk of fate doing a rewrite and forcing some mortal nearby to become your sidekick, and from now on they will show up where you are for no discernable reason and feel some emotion towards you, again that they can't quite understand. Subverted even harder with the gods themselves as the reason why Zeus doesn't appear in front of mortals or Osiris doesn't show up in Egypt. Get too close to mortals and they get stuck in fate and have to follow the script. Gods are actually bound to "the script", but they are more capable of breaking it. This is implied to be the reason why Zeus is such a manwhore... if enough people believe that a god is like that, he will get the urge to be like that. It is implemented in the rules too. If you are around a person who is Fate Bound to you, you get bonus dice if you act in the way they expect you to act and penalties if you defy their expectations. So if several people watching are convinced that you are a sociopath and are going to murder the mentally disturbed hostage taker rather than talk him down and get him medical treatment, that may soon become your only viable option! And if you are a mortal who happens to have really pissed off Fate in some way, it may retaliate and gift you the power of Doomsaying-not not only are you instinctively aware of everything bad that's Fated to happen, listening to you hypnotizes people into guaranteeing it happens. This is a major plot point in Ragnarok - sparing Hod (Baldur's accidental killer) really derails the prophecy (he trades his life for Baldur's, Loki is never imprisoned, Thokk is revealed to be Baldur's Yandere wife...). And that's only one of the things that can be done; it's quite possible to kill Garm before he gets Tyr (which is actually rather easy for a God, he being a Demigod-level adversary, although there's a sidebar in Ragnarok about how to power him up to fight god-tier characters), or convince Fenris to sit out the battle in return for allowing him to live in the Dark Forest. 2E plays with this; it becomes harder and harder to Screw Destiny the greater in power you are (it's the one thing that keeps a God constrained enough to not be a Titan), but Fate selects against this trope-because it only assigns Fatebound roles to people who are currently amenable to the idea (so it only make someone who already has good chemistry with you a Paramour, and only someone with reason to hate you a Nemesis). Even once that happens, mortals and people lower on the Legend pole still have mostly free will-it doesn't influence their actions, it changes probability so that actions that further their roles become easier and narratively fitting (it induces affectionate scenes around the Paramour, and gives the Nemesis lucky escapes and chances to get strong enough to pose a fair fight). And if you're a mortal, that's all it does-if you go against your role, it results in some bad luck before Fate gets the message and either de-Binds you or changes your role. Fear of stronger Fatebinding is why Gods remain hands-off (they don't want to be Fatebound to their own versions of Ragnarok).

None of them are truly evil (unless the Storyteller takes the suggestion to have one of them turn to the Titans, and even then The Mole is most likely a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds or Well-Intentioned Extremist), and considering their background story, their goal is rather justified. The White Snake, from the 1e Companion, who strove to prove she could be a person rather than a supernatural beast, fought to save her mortal husband's life... and ended up getting imprisoned for several centuries.

Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_e5e07b2d	comment	The Titans. They not only are free of any human shaping, making them hard for the human mind to comprehend, but they also shape reality simply by existing. The one that most stands out, however, is Hundun - Chaos. Unlike other Titans, it can't be defined in any way. Canonically, it is one of two Greater Titans that never got imprisoned nor submitted to the gods. The other was Vritra, Titan of Drought, but while Vritra avoided imprisonment by shrinking until they couldn't find it, Hundun simply can't be imprisoned. Fortunately, it can't define itself, so it's not very proactive and doesn't have Avatars like the other Titans.

Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_e70127	comment	1e God also offers another group of antagonists, the "Keepers of The World", a group of gods who are pissed at their pantheons and want to separate the mortal world from other realms. None of them are truly evil (unless the Storyteller takes the suggestion to have one of them turn to the Titans, and even then The Mole is most likely a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds or Well-Intentioned Extremist), and considering their background story, their goal is rather justified.

Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_e8967758	comment	No Such Thing as Wizard Jesus: Avoided for the most part, since the setting's superpowers are divine miracles, but the Trope Namer is a special case. In first edition, while the Abrahamic God may be evil (if he is Aten, if Aten is aping God however then the jury is out) and the Holy Grail exists, Jesus is left alone. In second edition All Myths Are True including the Abrahamic ones, but there's a moratorium on official content for them that ensures questions like whether Jesus was a Saint, Prophet, or Scion remain unanswered. Buddhism in 2e is... complex. To the Devas, Gautama Buddha is an incarnation of Vishnu. The Buddhists disagree, to the point of getting into fights (and Buddhism is not considered part of the Deva religions in the books). There is a separate Buddhist pantheon, the Palas, and there are a number of gods of other pantheons who are Buddhist, or even Buddhas themselves (such as Sun Wukong).

As well as one in a PDF supplement and one in a supplement released only in French. Plus the three made up for the game, one of which is in Demigod and the other two in Companion. Not to mention all the fan-produced writeups. Second edition has ten pantheons in Hero, three more in the Companionnote though one is a sub-pantheon, five more in Demigod, and another five more in God, making for a total of twenty-threenote twenty-two if you count the Loa as part of the Orisha pantheons. Plus the fictional 'pantheon' in Masks of the Mythos and the one made up for the game in the Companion, both of which are Loose Canon.

Firearms are the only weapons that don't get stronger with high attributes, making them extremely weak in Demigod and higher. For some reason Bows and even Crossbows DO get a strength-bonus though. There are numerous fan-created Knacks and house-rules that ameliorate this, but there was never an official solution.

Scion (Tabletop Game) / int_ec7da60a	comment	Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Hitler's Spear of Destiny was actually Odin's spear Gungnir, given him by Loki in the alternate setting set out in chapter six of the 1e Companion. Lady Liberty, Br'er Rabbit, Uncle Sam, Robin Hood, Britannia, d'Artagnan, Baba Yaga and sundry others are all gods. The French, Russian and British ones work together out of the need to fight the Germans whereas the American ones are a different Pantheon. In addition, Beowulf was a Scion of Freya, whose "death" was, in reality, his ascension to godhood. And HernÃ¡n CortÃ©s? Turns out the Aztecs didn't think he was QuetzalcoÃ¡tl returned, because they'd learned from QuetzalcoÃ¡tl that CortÃ©s was his son. CortÃ©s, understandably, did not take it well when QuetzalcoÃ¡tl finally revealed himself to him, resulting in his immensely conflicted behavior towards the Aztec people afterwards.

Sun Wukong takes this to extremes. Most of his kids are the results of one night stands that he never even intended to make a scion from.
