We run an immortal campaign ourselves. Okay. I estimate that the quasi-deity template should be considered +14 ECL. However I am not sure if you are going to use the Ability Score Increases or not?  Deities should gain a +5 Inherant Bonus to EACH ability score then a +60 Divine Bonus TOTAL to be assigned as the character wishes (typically +10 per ability score)Sounds straightforward enough. Though I wouldn't worry about limiting the power of deities at this stage.   We have a few rules akin to this ourselves. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Like Saints then.Okay. The Clerics derive power from the force/philosophy the deity represents rather than from the deity itself.So you are turning the quasi-deity 'template' into a kind of Prestige Class. I don't see why it couldn't work. Well I see no reason why it couldn't work. However if you were asking what I would do then I would suggest roleplaying normally to at least 20th-level then giving the PCs the option of gaining divinity through various quests and achievements.Simply handing out divinity essentially cheapens it. Make the players work for it - then when they finally attain it they will appreciate it all the more. ie. Who better deserves to have a million dollars, someone who has worked hard for it, or someone who wins/is given it.Additionally I think perhaps starting such characters at 4th-level could be self-defeating. Something you could think about (at low level) is making them the 'Chosen of' (Disciples) of the other deities?There are indeed many ways to make immortals afraid. I anticipate such a campaign would likely find the Epic Level Handbook very useful. Aside from Hercules incredible strength (and constitution) I doubt either had significant divine power before assuming the mantle of godhood (after death in these cases). Generally speaking I would suggest waiting until characters are 20th+ level before allowing them access to divinity.No problem mate. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />You might find some information here useful:<a href="http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18636" target="_blank">http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18636</a></blockquote>
