I'm planning on unleashing Vecna himself in an upcoming adventure, although he is not a full god in my campaign setting. Was there ever a product or magazine article that detailed Vecna's full stats before he became a god?
Stats for Vecna? (Pre-Godhood?)

Not that I know of...
Are you planning on making him an epic level character, or is it LONG before attaining godhood?

How long before? Before his deity-hood? When he was a Hero-deity? Before loosing his hand and eye? Before becoming a lich?
I can´t find the excellent Dicefreaks Vecna stats, as the old dicefreaks boards are gone. Here is a Vecna build by Taelohn: http://forums.gleemax.com/wotc_archive/index.php/t-93765.html
Just remove the Lesser Deity powers and maybe some levels and some/all (salient) lich abilities, depending on how early back you want to go in history.
Will you dive into the Greyhawk timelines for Vecna´s early History or are you going completely homebrew?
Also i feel i have to plug my History of Vecna 101 post on the WotC boards. Check out the links and info in there...

I guess it's worth me going into more detail here...
My campaign has only one creature that could be considered a true god by D&D standards. The rest are very powerful but mortal creatures that were imprisoned beneath the surface of the world eons ago. Many of these demigods/immortals were creatures I made up. But I like Gruumsh and Vecna a lot, so they got their place among the ranks of the imprisoned. So this Vecna isn't really the lich from Greyhawk -- it's sort of an alternate universe version of Vecna.
In general, my campaign setting is balanced around the concept that mortal advancement ends at 20th level. Someone can advance beyond that, but it requires a special feat to become an epic-level character. The imprisoned immortals are probably comparable in power to a great wyrm red dragon or a powerful titan -- they're definitely not D&D standard gods.
My first inclination with Vecna is to create him as a 20th-level lich wizard, which would certainly be enough to put him beyond the range of the current range of PC levels. However, I'm not adverse to giving him epic levels as well, since his never-ending search for power definitely puts him beyond mortal range. In terms of D&D stats and Vecna's history, I guess I'm looking at him somewhere at the beginning of his ascension to divinity for reference.

If you fall into Vecna, you die. No save.
