So, assuming the game is high level enough to where this would be a non-issue, you could just say that the immortal has a fly speed if that would make the most sense for it.As for the base races and starting sizes for immortals, since said immortal still earns a level adjustment of some kind for it's size, that may put a strain on what kind of character you can play. Ex: A lesser god in a level 80 game could not be Xona-Titanic (the size of a Titanic Universe) simply because the level adjustment would be too great. As a DM making NPCs and deities for your own use, this isn't an issue, but as always, know that having 100 size categories is going to definitely skew things a bit. (Although in actuality it is not preferable to be bigger then like Macro-Small unless you have some power that says you auto-hit or can't be hit)For races, it really doesn't matter once you hit Demi-god. Odin might be based on human as a base race, but that extra skill and feat really make such a little difference that it may as well not apply. Monstrous or more exotic gods might have a base race (like minotaur) that actually applies. Generally, unless you are looking for a mechanical benefit, you can hand wave race after around demigod. One of the characters in the Immortals Game I have planned is a Dragon Disciple (Red)/Fire elemental Savant, of the Double Fire Portfolios. His base race WAS human, way back in the day. Now we imagine him as a semi-humanoid dragonic figure made of lava. (And if he eats halflings, they Die.
