Default Is Transcendent the limit?

One suggestion is to limit the Transcendent level of the Appearance Advantages to deities/gods.

If this is the case, will every god that isn't ugly by nature of their aspect/character be Transcendent? Otherwise, is Artemis *just* Very Beautiful while Aphrodite is Transcendent? That seems a little off.

Maybe Aphrodite has Charisma +10 and Sex Appeal-27 in addition to Transcendent Appearance.

How about simple linear progression? And besides it's not like the mortals would want to make out with deities, would they?

@Lyzzy

Uh... yeah why wouldn't they? Mythologies are chock full of people makin half god babies because either a) GAWDS ARE HAWT! b) gods are tricky.

No wonder poor Paris had such a hard time determining which goddess was the hottest, they were all capped at Transcendant

That seems to be Awe's purpose, at least to me.

yeah but there's the Cthuloid gods, they probably don't have Transcendant or Awe.
