[QUOTE="CRGreathouse, post: 1323667, member: 474"] Hey U_K! I hoped that I would be able to delay this day until I had a copy of your book in my hands... but campaigns go on, sometimes faster than we expect. One of my characters is just moments away from his apotheosis... and we don't have rules to cover it. It's OK at the moment; he's away from the party, and DM handwaving will work for a while. After that, though, I'm using D&Dg to handle it, since those are the only do-it-yourself divine rules I have to work with: the IH isn't out yet, and The Divine and the Defeated doesn't have an explained metasystem. I would like to make the character as compatible as possible with the IH rules, though, so it'll be easier to convert when the time comes. In particular, I'd like to know about portfolios. The character in question is an archer, a devout worshipper of Nike, the goddess of victory (divine rank 6, a weak Lesser Deity; LG, but historically LN). The character is a Cleric12/Divine Agent9 or so, and has (almost) gained sponsorship from Nike. So far, I've considered making his area of control "arrogance" -- in his religion, false modesty is a sin, and it's not one he's ever been guilty of. This portfolio wouldn't include hubris, the overextention of arrogance and pride; it would include only rightful pride taken to its extreme. Is there any good way to do this? Do you have any suggestions that would work for the character? He's an archer, a military strategist (having won a significant battle earlier in his career), and a successful diplomat (having 'won' a nation's freedom, in a sense). [/QUOTE]
