Passive: Jesus transforms into a cross, that if not destroyed, will revive Jesus with 30% HP. Only occurs every 125 Seconds. Additionally, Jesus gives increased HP5 and MP5 for nearby allies.

I say 100% Hp with few seconds of invulnerability while attacking from the air. Just to make the lore accurate.

The three great monotheistic religions wouldn't make for good source material primarily because they are monotheistic. Monotheism isn't simply a belief that there just happens to be only one god but rather that there can ONLY be one God. The idea is that God isn't simply a higher being, more than human but still limited in some way, but that He is the foundation of all being.

All forms of polytheism are predicated on the idea that even the gods have their limitations vast though their powers may seem. At the very least the limiting factor on any polytheistic god would be simply the existence of the other gods. Corporately they may control all things but any one of them wouldn't be all powerful. Even the very word Pantheon means a temple build to all the gods and come from the Greek work pantheios meaning pan- all theios- divines or gods.

Trying to fit the figures from a monotheistic religion in with polytheistic gods is a category error. In monotheism you are either the one and only God or you are not. Saints and old testament persons are just that people. Even if they has some miraculous power it was not their own but what they got from that One God. All the narratives are either about someone serving that One God or rebelling against Him. Pretty boring for game material.

Pantheistic gods on the other hand have powers in their own right and the potential to conflict with other gods. Which, Smite is nothing if not a game of conflicting gods.

The only thing I can see as even a possibility to draw from in this vein would be maybe some of the specific angels and demons from some of the mystic or gnostic offshoots from these religions rather than from the religions themselves. This only works because these sub-religions tend to view God as very distant and generally uninvolved in these lower layers of reality.

TL;DR Jesus is OP.


Aside from all that...
Babylonian Pantheon would be interesting.
Perhaps also some of the angels and demons from Zoroastrianism.

I want Sleipnir as a playable god. And not some anthromorphic version, or some centaur-thing, I want to be able to play as an actual eight-legged horse.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
