"You are all individuals!"
"We are all individuals!"
"I'm not!"

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!

Of which perhaps the best is to launch the "no god, no soul" doctrine of Theravada Buddhism, and to teach the Four Truths and the Eightfold Path to the hoopiest froods you can find.

A wisdom score of 74 is higher than even deity-level. A person with such a wisdom score would be aware of everything going on around him. His perception is so keen that he knows what a person is going to say before they say it, even if he's never met that person before. Trying to decieve such a person would be impossible unless you, too, were incredibly gifted. Because wisdom also gives bonuses to spot and listen, such a person would be able to hear a pin drop in a crowded taproom or spot a flea from a mile away. Basically, a character with wisdom that high would be impossible to surprise, because he would have already forseen everything in advance.

With 60 charisma, a character possesses such incredible persuasiveness and force of personality that he can turn an enemy into a loyal follower with only a few words. When he talks, not only do people listen, but they can't help but believe and obey him. He is the center of attention wherever he goes, unless he doesn't want to be noticed, in which case he can perfectly mimic anything he wants to (because disguise is a charisma-dependent skill too).

Teach Dhamma (Buddhism).

Man...

Those stats are WAY too big for a 21st level level character. In the last Epic campaign I DM'ed, the highest level PC was a 57th level fighter, and his highest stat was a 49 strength. A DM cannot hope to be able to balance your character in his campaign. I know that, by the rules, you achieved it, but let me quote myself from another thread.

Ogiginal thread:

[...] 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.
[...]
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.

Flashbacks of Waldorf...
 

First time you cast the spell, you go though a nifty Apotheosis scene, with waves of light coursing through our body, beams of soul-energy frothing fromy our eyes, the works. You finally sink back towards the ground (but don;t land... you're too holy to touch the ground at this stage). Turning to your companions, you say in a deep, resonant voice empowered with cosmic panawareness, and say:

1) "I still don't get it..."
or
2) "No... the hokey-pokey is what it's all about!"

And then fall over dead.

Oh, I almost forgot; read Hitchhikers Guide. In one of the books there's a guy who gets given an overdose of Truth Drug, and told to tell the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth.

So he does. All of it. And everyone who hears him goes mad.

It's really not. It's higher than the deities have before they cast an even better spell every morning. :)

After all, they have a better Spellcraft score and more worshippers, so it would stand to reason. :)

The answer is obvious: start demanding lots of gold, food and virgins. Live it up!
