Not sure exactly what that would do because I've never bothered to buy any of the books that explain divine rank to my knowledge, but for something like an epic city, it would all be played by ear anyway. Commoners in such a city would go about their commoner lives but be able to do most of their mundane tasks easily through simple divine powers. The real trick would be separating the epic city from everything else. It would have to be on it's own plane or at least surrounded by epic level challenges so that although commoners were essentially epic, they still weren't good enough to deal with the monsters outside. So essentially, the PCs would be epic in a 'city of the gods' and be short some power despite their levels. IMC, this would probably be what would happen should characters go to the spirtual plane to talk to one of the gods, recover a dead friend's soul, etc.For a more usable city IMC, there is essentially a monster city run by an epic lich and 'friends'. If they caused trouble, they'd have to deal not only with the lich and the other rulers of the city, but also the epic level undead the lich has built over the thousands of years for such situations. Probably before they even get that far, they'd have to deal with the monsters that make the place their home. Any serious disturbance would call groups of 20-50 leveled hobgoblins and their commanders pretty quick. Then there would be the evil adventurer parties that used the city as their base of operations and the heads of the evil churchs that had built their temples there.</blockquote>
