[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 2532166, member: 326"] Hi Sledge matey! :) Okay, I have been giving this some thought. At this measure of power (just over 40th-level) the characters will at least have the Worship Points equivalent of a powerful quasi-deity. So I can neatly avoid the 'how you gain WPs' bit at this juncture. However the characters still have to pledge themselves to a Pantheon (optional), discover their portfolios and awaken their divinity. Seemingly you are running a Realms centred campaign, so the characters won't need to pledge themselves to a specific Pantheon. The next step is for the PCs to discover their portfolios. The DM (secretly) chooses a portfolio for them based on the characters history. "What does the DM think that character should be the god of?" For newly created characters the DM can either roll randomly or have the player write up a brief backstory and base it on that. Each PC then gets to choose one portfolio they want to follow. "What does the PC want to be the god of?" Depending on how well the Player has roleplayed the character, and how strong its identity is, the DM and the Player may choose the same Portfolio, in which case the player has gained a double portfolio (which has far greater benefits, albeit in a more limited capacity). If the player has a patron, then it would be them explaining that they must choose their destiny. Once you know the portfolios, design a brief encounter or adventure around each portfolio, I have a number of poignant adventure ideas for these in the IH. So once you have the portfolios I can suggest a few adventure ideas. ;) [/QUOTE]
