Hi WarDragon dude!

Looking good, U_K! As always, assume that I like anything I don't nitpick about.
Nitpick away. I appreciate all constructive criticism.

Since Portfolios are so important to the deities, I think there should probably be a place for them in the stat block, say, right between Feats and Divine Abilities. No need to list every ability out, just what their portfolios are. Right now, we have to guess for everyone but Surtur and Dagda.
I totally agree. I am just wondering what is the best way to do this (in the stat 'block' or listed after COMBAT as one of the abilities.

Morgan doesn't qualify for Mystic Theurge; you need at least four levels of Sorcerer, since that's when they get the required 2nd level spells. I would have pegged her as LE or NE, but that's your call.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to change that.
Chaotic Evil stays though.

What does the Staff of Summer do?
Its basically a +7 aberration dread version of the Staff of Nature's Fury. The reason I didn't write it up is because I'm just not happy with that incarnation of it.

Why does the CG Thunderbird have the Lawful and Evil subtypes?
Oops.
WarDragon said:
Why does Vainamoinen have VSCs (or at least a ludicrous weight) and only 24 Strength? And greataxes aren't missile weapons.
Weird. Must just be an honest mistake.
I'm not happy with the names of Vainamoinen's weapons at all. I read the darn Kalevala and couldn't find where they are named.
WarDragon said:
You forgot No Cha's alignment subtype. If they're only given to deities with those domains, he shouldn't automatically pierce alignment DR. He's got the same weight/strength discrepancy as Vainamoinen. Why does he penetrate DR as silver, when his own DR doesn't include it and he doesn't have the Epic feat for it?
His skin is silver. In effect he IS silver or at least silver plated. Thats why he gets to pierce it. I just thought it was a cool idea and abridged why he would live in the Nine Hells, because he scares even devils.
WarDragon said:
Hecate is scary. I really don't think Ensorcelled should apply to Epic spells. O_O Why does she know all spells, from one of her artifacts?
Well the Torch is known as the Torch of Enlightenment. So my initial thoughts were that it would give her the Enlightenment ability. However, I am not totally sold on the idea, because it doesn't gel with why she would wield three torches.
WarDragon said:
You forgot Horus' alignment subtypes. If they're only given to deities with those domains, he shouldn't automatically pierce alignment DR. You misspelled "bestow" under his Crown.
I'm sure when I finish (and spellcheck) the appendices, that will all be cleared up.

Dagda's AC seems rather low for a Skyfather. Generally, if a character can hit themselves on a 2, even when using a lot of Power Attack or Combat Expertise, the AC needs boosting.
Combat based immortals will generally hit every opponent on a '2'. The exception to this is going to be some sort of heavily min/maxed deity who has put in a lot of work on their AC.
While I am trying to build each deity to be tough, I still try and follow the myths as close as possible. Dagda runs about in rags, and is a bit of a fatty. So hes not especially quick on his feet, doesn't wear armour of note.
Although I don't believe I have added Dagda's +16 morale bonus yet (from his Cauldron).
There may also be other bonuses from the Throne of the Gods that increase this.
He can also cast Epic Mage Armor.
So he is not exactly of a low AC. Its just that AC is not his speciality, having loads of hit points is!

You forgot Surtur's alignment subtypes. If they're only given to deities with those domains, he shouldn't automatically pierce alignment DR.
Okay.
WarDragon said:
You forgot Algol's alignment subtypes. If they're only given to deities with those domains, he shouldn't automatically pierce alignment DR. His AC seems low, as well. An Old One with Int 3?
Algol is insane. Incidently the bonuses that would have been added to Int and Wis were halved then spread spread amongst other ability scores.
As for his low AC, I'm not totally sure where else to go with it. Maybe adding Nebulous?
Another point of note with Algol is that he has no artifacts.
I am trying out some rules for using monsters in place of artifacts.
