Message: <blockquote data-quote="dave2008" data-source="post: 7854634" data-attributes="member: 83242">1st:  What edition on your playing?  I am going to assume 5th. If that is not the case, then some of my comments may not be relevant.2nd: Gods can prevent creatures from entering their divine realm via the plane shift spell. 3rd:  The effects of Elysium are completely optional.  However, if you want to use them, I would suggest a DC = the number of consecutive weeks.  The 3rd edition DC is for a much higher range, so by 15th level that save DC you listed would be an auto-success for a few weeks.OK, with that out of the way.  I would make the deity require a quest be fulfilled prior to it allowing a audience.  Depending on the god the nature of the quest could:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Retrieve an artifact and deliver it to the god</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Defeat a monster or follower of a rival god</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bring back a lost scroll or bit of ancient information</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bring a tribute (could be anything from the golden apples to a living phoenix)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Spread its faith in some way</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">etc., etc.</li> </ul>The quest could be revealed to the PC in dreams or by a divine emissary.  This could also be an interesting way to give the PCs boons, blessings, or charms form the DMG to help them complete particularly dangerous quest or as a reward for doing so.</blockquote>
