[QUOTE="a-d, post: 5541387, member: 6672372"] Could a group whose objective is to find a way for everyone alive to become immortal, have learned that demigod/desses are immortal, and have discovered that it takes only a few hundred people believing you to be a god/dess to achieve this state use a round robin (Revolving turn-based method.) to make each of them an immortal demigod/dess? Expanding outward afterwards to everyone else on the planet? My current character's back story has them as part of a group who are trying to discover how to make everyone become immortal. They already know about the Lich method and actually have at least one Lich who's working with them to improve that method. (I heard that Liches eventually go insane and that as well as making the end result of such a method be aesthetically pleasing (Not corpse-like.) is what they're aiming for.) But they are also looking for other methods. I'd had my character not care for the god/desses and that they'd research those who'd ascended to godhood from mortal status as a reminder that it's possible this is what all god/desses started as. Later, I the player heard that if you get 100 people to believe you're a god/dess that you become a demigod/dess type being and are effectively immortal. While I'm trying to keep my characters and my own knowledge separate, it is possible that their research into the godhood of past ascended god/desses would eventually cause them to realized that it doesn't take too high a number of believers to become one. (If what I heard was true.) And if that's the case then despite their dislike of god/desses and that the organization main focus is on finding ways to make people immortal without having to change what they are, that they'll inform them about the possibility that if they go round robin through their group they might all be able to become demigod/desses to achieve immortality. Using a number of magic items to increase they're bluff, diplomacy, and charisma scores along with a speech which goes around the lines of "We've all heard that there are god/desses around today who used to be mortal. But further research has revealed that anyone can become a god/dess. That we all have the necessary spark of the divine required to do so. Or at the very least can acquire it." (Needs better speech.) I suppose the questions come down to: 1: Does becoming a demigod/dess only require that you have a 100 people who believe you're a god/dess? 2: Can a group go round robin, one at a time to become god/desses? 3: Can a demigod/dess be one of those believers? 4: If this method would work, how likely is it that the other god/desses would try to destroy a group attempting such a thing?
