[QUOTE="Rathan, post: 5071478, member: 1322"] I was actually thinking JUST the other day how cool it would be to have epic characters 'ascend' into godhood so to speak and from there rule their domains... shape the world into something new (perhaps after some sort of world ending catastrophic event... such at a meteor strike or something...) and then gather followers.... almost as if partly in a Birthright type turn based setting with little 'mini adventures' for the gods and goddess' to go on to shape their paths in the 'verse' something to this effect would be awesome... however in this type of PbP setting I couldn't come up in my mind on a way to hash it out.... if something like this could be hashed out.. I would sooo be down for playing... I'll be watching closely on this thread... EDIT: Hashing things out of course as in what types of 'things' gods and goddess' would be able to adventure against in these 'mini adventures'... however it just came to me that if the gods and goddess' of this world e were say NOT all powerful and just semi-mortals or demi-gods with godlike powers of varying degrees this could be very workable actually... however I think special abilities would have to be created beforehand and even from the hip as these 'demi-gods' strive to do this and that and powers would have to be created and doled out as the game progressed... The example I may be able to give is this... there's a set number of abilities of god-like repute... but lets say a character does this this and this and explains to the DM that he'd like an ability based off his actions just laid out before the DM... the DM could then take into consideration those actions and come up with a new ability on the fly that fit the actions... almost like gaining a custom feat of god-like proportions so to speak... again this is just me rambling on really.. fell free to add more onto it or change what you feel in your all's opinions heh... - Rathan [/QUOTE]
