-Demigods can be difficult to play, due to the lack of deity. They are ''simple'' - not having to choose a god does make the game less complex. However, gods are a reliable clutch in an otherwise random game. Specifically, Demigods cannot have divine abilities, which are otherwise great tools for escaping trouble. On the plus side, Demigods have high HP/MP pools and amazing attribute growth. A late game, 50 intelligence caster or 40 [[EV]] melee fighter is no slouch in combat.

 Their slow leveling is often overstated as a con. A -2 XP aptitude is indeed the slowest of any race, but as level costs are exponential, Demigods are rarely more than 1-2 levels behind. It does make [[spell level]]s harder to obtain, but with great potential INT and high MP, they don't struggle as casters.
