[QUOTE="TheNoremac42, post: 7518888, member: 6889146"] So, I rolled a half-orc conquest paladin the other day, and I decided that my ultimate goal for him will be to eventually ascend to godhood. Go big or go home, right? Anyway, I've been trying to think of ways how he would accomplish such a feat. The first hurtle he would likely need to get over would be the whole mortality bit. He's not getting any younger, and I imagine becoming a deity would take quite a bit of time. Undeath is an option, but most routes (such as becoming a death knight or a vampire) would involve him becoming the subordinate of another being, which would be counter intuitive for his goals. The second option would be to petition Gruumsh or some other deity for agelessness in return for, or as a reward for, service. Option three would be to carve a bloody path through the Nine Hells, knock on Asmodeus's door, and petition for immortality in exchange for a future alliance in the Blood War once he achieves godhood. As for actually acquiring the divinity, the best idea I've had was for him to hunt down celestials based on the logic that since they are direct creations of the gods they must have some divine "energy" in them. He would absorb their divine essence through either some ritual or straight up eating the thing's heart. It would start with a lowly couatl(?) and end with an empyrean, after which his divine spark will manifest and he will reach Divine Rank 0. Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions? [/QUOTE]
