[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 7842994, member: 83242"] In the BECMI Immortal rules, gods (Immortals) couldn't enter the Prime in their godly form, they had to assume a mortal form. Page 3 of the [I]Player's Guide to Immortals[/I]: "Whenever the character revisits the Prime Plane, the character can only assume his or her original [B][I]mortal[/I][/B] form." There is more description on page 25 under Original Form. Also, in the 2e [I]Legends and Lore[/I] page 6: "They [I]never[/I] visit the Prime Material Plane in their true forms, for this plane is the focus of so much divine attention that it is impossible for any deity, no matter how powerful, to enter it personally." And on the same page under Avatars: "When a god has business upon the true Prime Material Plane, he must send an [I]avatar[/I]. From the 3e [I]Deities and Demigods,[/I] page 18, intercession by the D&D Pantheon side bar: "The gods of the D&D pantheon are keenly interested in events on the Material Plane, but they stay on the Outer Planes by general agreement..." and "...When the deities of the D&D pantheon intercede in mortal affairs, they often do so indirectly or through intermediaries." I am sure there is more like this, but these seemed like the most broadly applicable that I could think of off the top of my head. So I don't know about tracking down another gods, but there is a lot of lore about gods not being able to directly act in the Prime. Fortunately I don't use published settings so I am free to ignore all of that and have gods walk among mortals in their full power (if I want). [/QUOTE]
