[QUOTE="lonesoldier, post: 2230192, member: 31189"] When the Overdeity returned from his sojourn into the Far Realm he looked upon the pantheons of the Great Wheel and found them wanting, he took every god and made them mortal once more. In turn, each ex-deity proved itself and regained their status and realms, but some couldn’t. Thier return was called the Time of Ascension. Those few minor deities who were unable to complete the tasks put before them by the Overdeity were left on the Material Plane, never to ascend to the Outer Planes with their brothers and sisters. These gods carved out places in the world for themselves, this is their story. <HR> In this campaign you play as a demigod, one of the failures from the Time of Ascension. You have a divine rank of one, and you control one portfolio element. Your character will have an effective character level of 25 and start with 300,000 experience points (As well as an extra 12,500 XPs for developing spells). Also, you begin with 2,100,000 gold pieces. You can spend as much as 525,000 gold to purchase any given item. (No artifacts please). As an important point, it should be noted that you will spend a lot of time off the Material Plane (You are immortal). As for creating the base character, please use 33 point, standard point buy. Remember that you receive ability increases every fourth level, and a bonus feat every third level. Also, deities gain different amounts of HP and have different epic bonus progressions than regular epic characters. Please draw all divine abilites/feats/etc from the SRD. Also it should be noted that my Material Plane is a custom world and the D&D Cosmology is the same as shown/described in the DMG. I will be using the Greyhawk gods. In essence when you pick a domain, (lets use magic for our example), you become the "Lesser Deity of Magic", while Boccob is the "Greater Deity of Magic". You have your following, but Boccob's is much greater. The only way to get another domain/portfolio element is to slay the god who currently has it. Slaying a lesser god grants you the god's domain, but you still have less of a following than the greater god. You could slay a greater god, in theory, but remember they are really strong... 3.5e Books you may use: Book of Exalted Deeds Book of Vile Darkness Complete Adventurer Complete Arcane Complete Divine Complete Warrior Core Books Epic Level Handbook (No, really?) Frostburn Races of Destiny Unearthed Arcana (please check with me) Variants you [b]may[/b] use: Character Traits and Flaws (UA) Item Familiars (UA) Feel free to ask about other Variants from the above books.
