Take for example a Deity with 20 levels of Cleric. This deity may cast all cleric spells, all ranger spells and all her domain spells spontaneously - up to her daily limit of available cleric spell slots.

If this deity had levels in Druid or Paladin, he could also cast spells from these spell lists spontaneously as cleric spells (and as paladin or druid as well).

If a deity with for example 20 levels of wizard has the salient divine abilities Arcane Mastery and Spontaneous Wizard Spells, he could cast all wizard spells spontaneously, up to his daily limit of available wizard spell slots.

Example: Clr20/Wiz20/Pal10
Domains: Law, Good, Knowledge
Extra Domains: Healing
Salient Divine Abities: Arcane Mastery, Spontaneous Wizard Spells, Divine Spellcasting...
Abilities: Int 46, Wis 34
Cleric Spells/Day (Levels 0-12): 6/9/9/9/9/8/7/7/7/6/2/2/2
Wizard Spells/Day (Levels 0-18): 4/9/9/8/8/8/8/7/7/7/4/3/3/3/3/2/2/2/2
Paladin Spells/Day (Levels 1-2): 4/4

This deity can sponaneously cast all cleric, ranger, paladin, Law, Good, Knowledge and Healing spells, up to his daily limit of cleric spells per day and to her daily limit of paladin spells per day.
This deity can also sponaneously cast any wizard spell, up to his daily limit of wizard spells per day.

Quite godlike, huh?

actually, I believe the above example deity would be able to cast all the spells listed on the Good, Healing, Law, and Protection Domains as many times as he'd like per day -- they are Domain Spell-Like Abilities, useable at will.

Everything else ya said was on the money, though.

Man, there's nothing like a quickened empowered maximized Time Stop to really ruin a guy's day, is there?

Thats why I don't mess with gods.
That and the fact that they're freakin gods.
I mean I've said "I'm a combat god" before, but I wouldn't fight an actual god of war. What do I look like Hercules? Well ok I'd fight that god of war, you could just beat him up like anyone else near as I could tell.

slightly OT

speaking of D&DG, does HARM have full effect on gods?

Of course it does. You still gotta touch them, not an easy task by far.


I must say, I never will understand the outrage against harm, and yet none so for Heal. You can't have just one side of the coin, must take the bad with the good.

Of course [harm] does [have full effect on gods]. You still gotta touch them, not an easy task by far.

Besides, their SR is quite sufficient for most such attempts.

Would you consider introducing a mass harm spell, then? Mass heal already exists - but not the opposite...

Actually, their very high SR makes gods some kind of easier to fight in melee, compared to fighting a god by spells. That's true even for god vs. god.
