[QUOTE="Lakkett, post: 149145, member: 1067"] I noticed a lot of questions as to where gods get their high ability scores. After pouring through the salient divine abilities overnight, I came across a possible answer: Alter Reality. With Alter Reality, a diety can duplicate any spell of 9th or lower level as a standard action with no material or XP cost. Already here, we see that a diety with Alter Reality can easily give himself/herself/itself a +5 inherent bonus from wishes to all of its stats in a matter of moments. Also, Alter Reality conveys the ability to make magical or supernatural effects permanent (with some rest time measured in tens of minutes afterword). All a diety has to do is use Alter Reality to cast a maximized and empowered bull’s strength/cat’s grace/eagle’s splender/etc. on itself, take a little rest time for using all those metamagic feats, and then make the effects permanent on itself for a +7 enhancement bonus to all of its stats. So far we have a plus +12 bonus to all stats that the diety can confer upon himself, his friends, family, toad familiar, etc. at any time he/she wants. I’m sure there’s also the possibility of making luck bonuses, insight bonuses, competence bonuses and all the rest permanent as well. And some DM’s might rule that lesser powers and up can exceed the +5 inherent bonuses for multiple wish castings (maybe +6 for lesser deities, +7 for intermediate, +8 for greater, etc.). What do you think? [/QUOTE]
