[QUOTE="Tovec, post: 5541805, member: 95493"] Original Poster: I'm not positive but I think you meant quasi deities. They are the actual lowest form of deity that I am aware of according to the 3.0 Deities and Demigods. Quasi deities are generally granted power from stronger gods for heroic deeds and crap. So maybe I was wrong and you truly meant Demigods. Now, about demigods, according to the 3.0 Deities and Demigods: "A Demigod has anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand [B]DEVOTED [/B]human worshipers..." Emphasis mine on the word devoted. This would mean, at least logically to me, that they can't go round robin. Also, I'm not positive as there are so very few hard rules about ascending to godhood (for good reason) but I believe that if they received their power this way and then lost their followers that they would be reduced to a state they wouldn't very much enjoy. A feeling I would like to think is akin to running on low batteries, indefinitely. A good DM would say the worshipers can't be mere followers and have to be utterly devoted to the cause and belief that you are a god and the greatest (or worst) thing in the world. That same DM may then state that if you are able to gain truly divinity this way and then they all STOP feeling this way and feel that way about another that you would Crash and become nothing. A shell of what you were. I have had a few gods rise in my various games and read of a few from mythology (that weren't born godlings) and it seems that almost universally the "mortal" which became a god would have to die to achieve it. :D Just saying.
