He teaches his followers of the capriciousness of fate, and the wildness of nature, in the harsh polar life; and he bids them be as wild and dangerous as the arctic storms themselves, and as bountiful -- doing good deeds, but never reliably, and never to allow others to become dependent on one's charity. To the point that Goel's worship has a philosophy at all, it is that one must never forget that nature is harsh and wild, and that destruction too is needed.Goel was one of Xochipactli's children born at the beginning of humanity; by claiming a vast continent as his own, and defending it against the (admittedly few) challengers, he has attained much power. Goel has not stirred from his mighty citadel Blizzardcrest, large as a hundred mortal-world cities, in centuries; he sits on his great throne in mad meditations, or perhaps in mystic workings not meant for mortal minds. But his avatar wanders the worlds; every nine years an aspect visits the most sacred sites of Goel's worship to lead the novennial Hunt that is his greatest festival. Goel's avatar also may intervene to protect a tribe from an overwhelming threat, such as a frost giant army or an ancient white dragon; or they may not. The avatar is just as capricious in attitude as its parent deity.Avatar of Goel (Quasi-Deity)Size/Type: Medium OutsiderHit Dice: 22d20+100 (540 hp)Initiative: +15 (Always first)Speed: 90 ft.Armor Class: 46 (+7 Dex, +1 deflection, +4 divine, +19 natural, +6 Guard of Ice), touch 22, flat-footed 39Base Attack/Grapple: +22/+27Attack: Icy Hand +31 melee touch (11d6 cold) or Shiverdoom +30 ranged (1d8+12 and 3d6 cold) Full Attack: Icy Hand +31 melee touch (11d6 cold) or Shiverdoom +30/+25/+20/+15 ranged (1d8+12 and 3d6 cold)Space/Reach: 5 ft./5 ft.Special Attacks: Crippling strike, icy hand, sneak attack +6d6, spell-like abilitiesSpecial Qualities: Divine bonus, DR 10/obsidian, evasion, improved uncanny dodge, portfolio traits, trap sense +3, trapfindingSaves: Fort +22, Ref +25, Will +22Abilities: Str 21, Dex 26, Con 21, Int 16, Wis 21, Cha 16Skills: Bluff +31, Climb +34, Diplomacy +31, Escape Artist +37, Hide +37, Listen +34, Move Silently +37, Search +34, Sense Motive +34, Spot +34, Survival +34Feats: Improved Initiative, Lightning Reflexes, Manyshot, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Rapid Shot, <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/eternity-publishing-hosted-forum/197014-custom-divine-abilities-portfolios-etc-11.html" target="_blank">True Shot</a>, Weapon Focus (longbow)Epic Feats: Blinding Speed, Epic Prowess (x3), Superior InitiativeDivine Abilities: Cold Absorption, House of Insanity, Icy Hand, Obscure Damage Reduction, Perfect Initiative, Superior Damage ReductionEnvironment: Any (often Polar Plateau)CR: 23?Alignment: Chaotic neutralQuintessence: 30,000The being who stands before you resembles a man, though he is blue in skin and hair, and stands a head taller than any of your party.

I'm going with the latter for now, since neither Improved nor Superior Initiative have a Dex prereq...</blockquote>
