Custom divine abilities, portfolios, etc.

Here's one someone proposed a LONG time ago, but we couldn't agree on whether it should be epic or divine. Here's my version:

Hollow Toughness (epic) (ex
Prerequisites: no con score, cha 25
Benefit: You use your charisma modifier for determining your bonus hp and fortitude save bonus, rather than constitution.

I made it only epic since some sub-epic monsters in late 3.5 have something really similar, tho feel free to make it divine if that sounds better.

I've always been surprised that no one had made the Trickery portfolio.

Trickery Portfolio​

Aspects: Cheat, Deception, Guile, Hoax, Lie

Opposed Portfolio: Strength

Examples: Asmodeus (D&D), Eris (Greek), Loki (Norse)

Favored Animal: Any animal with the ability to mimicry

Favored Class: Bard, Rogue

Favored Place: Theater

Favored Sacrifice: A work that meticulously records real events

Favored Time: Solar Eclipse

Favored Weapon: Dagger

Portfolio Trial: Fool an entire city (non-epic) or an entire nation (epic)

Prerequisites: You must be able to lie

Symbol: A mask

Typical Quote: “It's all a game of smoke and mirrors”.

TRICKERY DOMAIN​

Granted Power: You can deceive truth-detecting magic. A creature using this sort of magic against you must succeed on a caster level check against a DC of 15 + your’s HD + your Divine Rank to succeed (as if you are under the effect of a glibness spell); failure means the magic doesn’t detect your’s lies or force you to speak only the truth. This ability does not give you the glibness spell’s bonus on Bluff checks. When a creature is using detect thoughts or similar magic to read your mind, you decides what surface thoughts your opponent detects, and your true surface thoughts remain private. This ability does not protect against mental attacks or mind-reading that delves deeper than surface thoughts.

1 Disguise Self: Changes your appearance.

2 Invisibility: Subject invisible 1 min./level or until it attacks.

3 Nondetection: Hides subject from divination, scrying.

4 Enchantment Foil: Trick opponents who try to cast enchantments on you.

5 False Vision: Fools scrying with an illusion.

6 Mislead: Turns you invisible and creates illusory double.

7 Polymorph Any Object: Changes any subject into anything else.

8 Mind Blank: Subject is protected from mental/emotional magic and scrying.

9 Impenetrable Veil: Enchant a target so it is nearly impossible to detect by both magical and mundane means, granting it multiple benefits.

REALM​

You create a realm where everything can be a deception and illusions are superimposed on reality.

Hazards: There are no intrinsic hazards in such realms, however, people unfamiliar with the type of environment have difficulty finding their way around. Those venturing in these realms must make a Survival check every hour (DC 20 + divine rank of the immortal’s + 1d20) or get lost. True seeing offer no protection and instead give a +8 to this check.

Inhabitants: Natural trickster like fey and kitsune will be attracted to these realms.

Trickery Template (Single Portfolio)​

Appearance: The immortal appears normal.

Behavior: The immortal rarely speak directly without lies unless with its close friends.

Trickery Template (Double Portfolio)​

Appearance: The immortal appears normal.

Behavior: The immortal will never speak directly without lies unless with its close friends, but can tell half-truths and double meanings open to multiple interpretation.

I'm tempted to create a Vigilante portfolio, then a Villain portfolio, but I think Good and Evil would cover those anyway.

Guns from the Grave [Divine]
It's High Noon.
Prerequisites: Undead type, proficiency with firearms.
Benefit: You gain the Pale Stranger template (Things from my setting).

 

[Obly99]

Dimensional Wormhole (Su) [Transcendental]​

You can briefly open a wormhole to the other "dimension".
Prerequisites: Dex 130, Dimensional Heaven (Custom divine abilities, portfolios, etc.).
Benefit: As a standard action you can open the barrier between the normal space and the reality of Dimensional Heaven, creating a temporary portal with your same size adjacent to you (base size, without increase or reduction with effects like Divine Immensity), allowing you and any other creature or object to travel to the "dimension" or to return to the normal space while its open. The portal remains open for a number of rounds equal to your DR before it close, leaving any creature or object that has crossed the portal in the reality they were at the time of closure: unlike Dimensional Heaven that is temporary, this allow to truly travel to the other "dimension" or to return to the normal space. You can close a portal you open in advance as a standard action. As usual, you cannot interract to the other "dimension" while in the usual space and vicerversa without using the portal to enter it or using Dimensional Heaven. You can also craft permanent portals for travel between Dimensional Heaven and the normal space.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
A portal is created using the nucleus of a Dimension (like Elemental Planes or Outer Planes). Crafting a portal requires a successful DC 1200 Spellcraft check. CL 1200th; Craft Wondrous Item, Dimensional Wormhole, gate, plane shift, reverse gravity, wish. Price 5,817,000,000 gp

A portal has your same size (base size, without increase or reduction with effects like Divine Immensity), hardness 1,000 and 1,000,000 hp. You can double the size of the portal for every 100,000,000 gp extra you spend during the construction (remember that a double double, is a triple in this case).

Lord Of Pain: (cosmic) (ex)
Prerequisites: Pain portfolio
Benefit: You gain the atata template. Unlike a normal atata, you don't lose your spell-like abilities or suffer an int reduction.

You can still use all skills that are not Lister or Spot
Even Wis is not reduced
In this case is a cosmic
