That's easy - you go into a dungeon, kill monsters and take their stuff...

Chroma said:With that high of a Wis, might he not realize the gods are actually important? It could be made as an epihphany type thing. Either realizing the cosmic balance and playing it cool. Or deciding one way is actually better and devoting himself to bringing about monotheism. Lots of ways to go!

Anyways... it's your game, you do what you want with it, but don't expect things to go smoothly when you clearly go way out of bounds.[...] Min-maxing, even down to every single little skill point or feat or ability point, isn't the real problem.
It's doing something with the rules that, while not forbidden, is clearly against the spirit of the rules. That's what can make some DM's roll their eyes. It's impossible for the game designers to prepare for every output of rules synergy and combinations. In something as vast as a RPG's rules universe, it's just not humanly possible.
What the game designers do is trust that most people will understand the intent, and trust those people to not go in the ludicrous zone of metagaming.
Granted, that zone is blurred at best, and the edge varies from one DM to another. But there are some things that are clearly "out there". If a DM want to use those things simply because "the rules don't clearly forbid it", and the players don't mind that, then that's just fine and dandy for that particular group. Not for most gamers, I would beleive.
