Do Splugorth possess Prototypical Deific powers?

[SolCannibal]

I'm guessing that as a brand of Alien or Supernatural Intelligence they do, but don't remember any specific mention of Great One-Eyed One making use of them or directly confronting gods or demon lords, ergo decided to hear other people's thoughts on the subject.

It isn't just the Splugorth AIs in this regard, I checked a few other AIs in the books like The Lord of the Deep (WB7), Nxyla (WB12), the Vampire Intelligence (WB1o) also lack any mention of PD-powers in their stat blocks (there might be other AIs, I just can't think of them at the moment).

Now D&G (pg73) states "Deific Powers: Most Alien Intelligences have the full range of all prototypical deific powers at regular cost"

Going over the list of powers in D&G and known alliances (in WB6), it would appear the VIs at least DO NOT have the full range of PD powers since one of the VIs allied with another SN being for the purposes of weather control (a PD power). Weather the VIs would have access to other abilities isn't clear.

I don't recall any mention of the Splugorth (or Nxyla or TLotD) specifically being known to use PD-powers, but then again the Splugorth also have a life span where other AIs are immortal. So for the Splugorth I'd say no, they just aren't that "mature" of an AI to have access to PD-powers.

I have said that lesser SI's (Splugorth, Vampire, Zllyphan from WB3 basically any SI that is a species rather than individual) no. For the greater ones yes since that seems to fit the description in D&G.

I would say the species doesn't but an individual might if they really tried for it. God's are molded by belief & the evil one eyed tentacle monsters whether alien, vampire, or supernatural don't like others controlling them. The God & Dragon book in PF says even demon & deevil lords can get some God powers, so I don't see the problem with any sufficiently powerful thing, worshipped by tons & tons of cultures & peoples can get access to God powers

[Library Ogre]

I say yes, in general, though they may have to pay more for them than standard cost (qv some deities in D&G, who pay double or triple regular cost).

Splynncrth, incidentally, I would say has the full range of powers, at standard cost, given the amount of worship he receives. But deific powers generally don't show up in Rifts, especially since they were conceived after a lot of Rifts stuff was written.
