[QUOTE="Thanatos, post: 1468580, member: 5261"] I think just about everyone has their own idea of what a half-god(dess)/diety should be...I've seen many versions, none of which i liked in their entirety. Also, with templates the level adjustment can be kinda harsh, you might consider setting up the abilities in a series of levels (like 3 or 4). You can find more on that in Arcana Unearthed and Unearthed Arcana, IIRC. So that way the character can "grow" into his abilities. Now...I'd say the lesser is probably the one to go with. You might consider changing the Long Life to just Ageless Keep the Outsider designation. And it looks like you are giving him extra skill points for being Divine Blooded? That will rack up into alot of extra skill points for him...which maybe is what you want, but will the other players be too overshadowed by this? Something to consider. I wouldn't use that portion, myself. I would use something like Fast Heal 1 or 2 or Regeneration 1 or 2 instead. I'd drop the darkvision and just give low-light vision, unless the character has low-light vision already and then upgrade it to darvision. For using a level base, I'd scale the resistances to top out at +10 or +15. 5 is alot at lower levels, but not much at alot higher. Remember, he'll be about 3 levels behind everyone else. Might be better to give bonus' to posion and disease resistance vs. immunity so you don't hamstring yourself later if you want to remind him he isn't a god :) I like the +1 to AC, I'd keep that. and I'd keep it at level +3 or a 3 level racial/archtype progression. anyway, those are my thoughts and opions and comments :) Hope they are helpful or insightful.
