[QUOTE="khantroll, post: 5354940, member: 95652"] The 3.5 campaign my group just left (not finished per se) was entirely composed of dieties/epic level characters. It was my fault, really; we did a round-robin/guest DM setup to give me a break in the very beginning. I wanted to play a power-mad character, and in that vein I used one of the FFG books with rules for cults in it. This lead to discussions about follows, etc, and all the others decided that godhood would be the goal of the campaign. They became gods of Death, Chaos, Evil, War, and Fire by first amassing specialized powers and then followers through leadership which the became cultists. Once they had recieved the requisite number of followers, Dieties and Demigods became our primary rulebook. Those saliant abilities are hella cool if you are a player, and a pain the arse if you are a DM. It was fun though, and it showed the phenomenal cosmic power does to equal simple or boring. They tackled advanced celestials, dieties, a few demon princes. Perhaps the best one was a highly customized version of Hellspike Prison that we ran. In our game, Hellspike was the place where the irredeemably evil were sent by the celestial hosts. When one of the characters (a blackguard) died due to an environmenal variable (still useful at this level of play in that system, FYI), he was of course sent to Hellspike. The rest of the group had to go get him in order to have him reincarnated, and that simple setup led to some very memorable NPC interactions as well as battle after battle with some very, very powerful celestials. Epic level divine spells will hurt anyone ;) [/QUOTE]
