Its my first campaign, and Im trying to develop a incredible story involving a war between gods. I will probably have my characters lvl every 7-10 encounters and have dozens of settings and encounters already set up (save #s).My main problem occured when I found out that epic level pcs will be able to go toe-to-toe with dieties. Because my BBEG is not near the power of a diety. So how about this, I describe my npc, and everyone can tell me whats wrong with it. (I know Rakshasa's might not be in this campaign, Ill make the race if need be)Sylar, a 30th lvl sorcerer rakshasa. obviously no numbers yetHis back story is this. Rakshasas are rare in my world and they lives are much like Dragons. Most are lawful evil, and when I say evil, I mean EEEVIL. Sylar was doing his own thing in life, focusing on controlling gnolls, and other savage humanoids for his own use. One day the Incredibly powerful and old creature known as Pandorym (yes the one from Elder Evils) came to him and made dominated him and made him permanently "insane". He now functions mostly outside his own will as Pandorym's most trusted Follower. He eventually partially broke his domination and developed a split personality that emerges from time to time to thwart or at least slow Pandoryms progress. This split personality shows itself in odd ways, mostly in half-baked but sometimes fruitful attempts to help the PCS and others attempting to battle Pandorym. His goal is not to defeat evil but simply to be himself again.Any ideas on how to make this character lvl 30-worthy or should I just make him an important lvl 20 or so encounter?Side notes you may feel free to ignore:1. My Campaign is exploration-focused where the PCs spend a large part of the campaign scouring the planes to find a trapped Diety, in order to release him. There are mitigating circumstances on how a lvl 18ish group can save a diety.2.  The main plot is that several evil dieties have created an unstable alliance with the newly freed Pandorym for the purpose of brining death and destruction everywhere. They have focused on and succeeded in killing several Gods, and put the main plane, what I call midworld in jeopardy in several ways. This is sometimes solved by Good dieties some of which have developed an alliance to fight back, some of which have gone into hiding. some of the dieties, both good and bad have already died. slowly the PCs will develop the power to thwart their destructive goals time and time again. Obviously because of the power shift at lvl 30 Im going to have to establish an endgame. But thats the gist of it. 3. very little numbers have gone into my campaign sites so far. Those that have have been DCs on traps and structural ideas based on 3.5 saves.4. this is my first post, help me if I screwed up some how.thanks in advance.</blockquote>
