[QUOTE="Roman, post: 2144647, member: 1845"] This is very campaign specific. It depends heavily on the nature of godhood in your campaign. 1) If you have a campaign where divinity is determined by worship, than acquiring a certain number of worshippers would deify the character and the greater the number the greater the power of the new god. These worshippers could be acquired by any means - coerced/intimidated into worshipping the character, bribed into worshipping the character, persuaded (perhaps by heroic deeds of the character - thus godhood could even be acquired unintentionally - though depending on campaign it may be possible to relinquish it voluntarily) into worshipping the character and so on. 2) In a campaign where godhood is derived from some source of divine energy, partaking in this energy would elevate the character to a godly status. The source could be anything from the food of the gods through powerful artefacts to a unique divine energy plane that only gods have access to. 3) In a campaign with a god/entity/being of extreme power, perhaps the god or gods could elevate the character to power for faithful service and heroic deeds that saved or enormously benefited the religion. 4) Some campaigns might permit characters to acquire the godhood of a current god by slaying the god or otherwise stealing his godhood. If you tell me more about your campaign world I might be able to give you more specific ideas. [/QUOTE]
