Lord Pyro I said :
I've found that having put themselves in the position of being the "true" heirs to the throne did make a considerable difference to their ability to rule the kingdom (just look at how many greys ruled the region afterall, especially in the later years).
..But did it actually make a difference? Do you think that there would have been less Grey rulers if they hadn't called themselves relatives of Raddallin, or if he wasn't wrote into the lore to begin with? I certainly don't think it changes much.

As for the "powerplaying the gods" thing, I was only referring to the comparison Ridaku made.

Fewer not less.

And yes I do believe there would have been fewer Grey rulers if not for their claim of being related to the IC leadership. Partly because I can't see any other trait about them that would explain why there were so many and partly because of the number of times I have heard it explicitly stated that to rule Asgarnia you needed to be a Grey or face being rapidly deposed.

As for the "powerplaying the gods", you're right that I didn't pick up on the reference to what ridaku said. I have to say I agree with him on that comparison though. giving yourself a sword "made by Saradomin" is essentially writing youself in an IC advantage that didn't have to be roleplayed out and thus wasn't subject to any kind of challenge. I'd say inventing an army of peasants that will always rally to the cause of your "birthright" which was established before the events of W42 began is basically the same as inventing a magic sword that you obtained before the events of W42 began.
