    Deity stats are basically determined the same way that an untemplated orc's stats are determined. They picked some numbers that looked good and went with that. If you think of "orc" as a template that fits onto a basic "humanoid" chassis, then "Gruumsh" is a template that fits onto a basic "deity" chassis. Every deity gets their own unique template, which was created in the exact way the orc template was created. Fiat.

    Basically, that book is a load of thumb-rules masquerading as a construction kit.
