[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 3766924, member: 29746"] I'm for choice C at a minimum, but then most longtime posters in this forum are aware of my taste for wide gaps in power between entities of different tiers. Which is to say, I [b]want[/b] to have gods of Lesser and higher status to be so powerful that mortals have little to no chance of beating them. I [b]want[/b] to have Sidereals so absurdly mighty that even Greater Gods tremble when thinking about the consequences of waking one. This is why I altered the "minimum HD" scale for my own campaigns, which are (perhaps ironically) starting to reach divine territory now so the scale is actually coming into play. One PC in my original Epic game has reached true godhood (the character is a Hero-Deity now) and the others in that party are all pursuing it. In fact, they're pursuing it with vigor, since as a side effect of the ascension of the first character I had a "feedback pulse of excess energy" released during the ascension grant them all 2 levels/HD- the real point of this being to offset the large ECL boost that will happen with them once they get the templates themselves- but the players are happy to go after the largest XP boost they've ever had so it works nicely as an incentive as well.
