Neat idea! Imagine a group of these schmoes...I wonder if it would be better if as the campaign started, they *didn't* know that they had any of those abilities - discovering them might be a good adventure.Thaniel said:

Actually I have considered running a campaign based on a similar idea. All the PCs would start out as young gods in an Asgardian-esque pantheon, perhaps as gestault charactes with divine rank 0. Their goal: earn a status as god of something and rise in divine ranks. Go on quests so that you get your name out, help the little people so they like you, terrorize the little people so they fear you, basically earn a rep and associate your name with some idea.
In Bob's case, as a simple Lvl 1 human PC with Divine Rank 0, I would angle for something simple, specific, and unique. Depending on what that first level is in I might be the God of the Cedar Crest Drive, protecting all who walk down the street and any who live or work there, if I was a paladin; or as a wizard I might be the God of That Small Scroll Shop Near the Universtity; as a Druid the God of the Local Park. Making sure of course that I gave proper respect and attention to the bigger city gods or other important dieties I could probablly make a name for myself that way. Maybe get a little shrine set up, worshippers, go on small quests for my place or people.
Find some others like me and we might even start up a Pantheon.
Oh and as soon as I hit 6th level: A Cleric cohort (I can grant powers since I am a god after all) and a bunch of low level Expert Storytellers or Expert Singers.

Haha, trust ENworld to take a humor topic and turn it into a viable campaign start. 
Still, If indeed all the players has a similar DivRank, then fun can certainly be had.
In my view, Bob could certainly get good money as a circus sideshow or a Sigil gigolo with all the immunities he has. It may not be the sanest way to make a buck, and it would certainly be a bad thing to have Cthulhu as a paying customer, but what the hey? It beats getting killed by a critting orc.

well what do you expect?
Somebody here - I wish I could give credit - managed to turn orc and pie into a campaign involving a canabalistic renegade orc with a demon grafted arm. That too was a work of art.

Wait, IIRC, 0-level gods can't grant spells, so the whole Cleric Cohort thing is out. Too bad, it'd be fun.
So, I think I would go bard (I CAN'T BELIVE I SAID THAT ! !). I would go for the whole preacher / evangelical kind of thing and get a lot of followers. Then maybe I'd get the bump to 1st level god, and Wa-hoo here we go!

The sample divine rank 0 ones in DDG are valkyrie so go barbarian berserker and have fun with your max hp.
"You are a god?"
"Yep."
"But you only have 12 hp, a crit could kill you."
"I'm a norse god. None of us survive Ragnarok. We can all be killed. We will all be killed."
"But with 12 hp you could die before Ragnarok."
"I'm not named in the prophecy about Ragnarok. The prophecy does not say that we all make it there, only those named are guaranteed to make it there and none of them even survive it. You do the math."
"So what good is being a god then?"
"Well the evil wizard can't turn me into a toad."
"I guess that's something."
"Divinity, woohoo."
"So that's why you are adventuring with us?"
"Yeah, I want to kill things and take their stuff before I bite it."
"Oh my god! You are the patron god of adventurers!"
