You are all GODS!!

Er...why do we gain 2 epic feats? We went from level 24 to level 26. We don't get even one epic feat until level 27...and even then we only get one.

Similarly, why 2 salient divine powers? I thought we only got one of those per Divine Rank we had...meaning right now, we get one. Or did I miss more house rules?

I have no clue about the epic feats.

The two salient divine powers I can explain. Deities gain one salient divine power per rank (one in our case). Demigods gain one bonus power in addition to those gained by rank.

 

[Myth and Legend]

Glass Eye is correct regarding the SDAs.

On the feats: It was my understanding, that this is treated like a Gestalt game. Since our ECL is 6 we are eligible for two feats (i had neglected to get one last time, as well as the attribute bonus). HM said we get regular save/bab progression but we get Epic feats if we qualify for them.

I actually got two regular feats as they are needed for some SDAs later on.

Another note: Alter Reality can replicate Wish, which can be used to grant us +5 inherent bonuses to each ability (same as reading the appropriate tomes). I don't have DD with me right now but if memory serves deities get several thousand xp per week to "burn" on spells (and Alter Reality subsequently). Can someone provide said information here?

It's not really needed if we treat Alter Reality RAW, but I still want to run it by HM and the rest of you, and I'll write in the attribute bonuses in Heliasillyel's sheet, as well as use the rest of the XP to make some magical trinkets via Wish/item creation.

I really need to know whether I should count in every beneficial spell effect in the SRD on top of Heliasilyel's sheet, because she would have made them all permanent via Alter Reality for sure. She'd also have set up Contingencies and other magical tricks.

Also, I'm planning on providing a writeup on this alternate Solarianderriel, freshly created and unpopulated, and how her followers come in via Speljammer ship. Should i provide a write up for the main NPC leading the other worshipers? If so, how many Class levels do we get to play with? What wealth, and how many can be brought in? I was thinking that three ships, bringing 500 or so Sun Elves each would be a good start for this expedition. They'd settle both on Solarianderriel and on the mountain that leads up to her realm (but is still on the Material plane).

 

[Voda Vosa]

Just one question. Why is this alter reality so powerful and with no DR requisites? I personally would have made it at least DR 6

 

[Shayuri]

Voda, I completely agree. The ability to Wish at will would have made a better rank 20 ability, since it means absolute mastery over reality...

But oh well.

As for epic feats, I don't think that's how feat progressions work even in a gestalt. As a gestalt Druid/Shadowdancer, I'd be able to pick any epic feat that I could qualify for with those two classes. I wouldn't get a feat for EACH class though.Just like I don't add skill points for each, I only get the best of the two per level (and all their class skills).

Reading the description of gestalts from the SRD, it doesn't list any altered mechanics for feats. I interpret that to mean that feats work for gestalts identically to how they work for normal characters.

Edit: Ah ha! There's a mention of feats at the end of the first paragraph under the section called Balancing Gestalt Characters: "Gestalt characters who try to fulfill two party roles (melee fighter and spellcaster, for example) find they must split their feat choices, ability score improvements, and gear selection between their two functions."

 

[GlassEye]

We're not gestalt; we just advance two levels whenever HM says we go up a level. And if I remember correctly we're not using standard progression for epic characters but following the progression as if we were characters level 1-20. So, if I'm right (feel free to chime in here HM if I've got it wrong), then we should have 7 regular feats from our 20 HD of Outsider and then three feats from levels 1, 3 & 6 which could be epic feats.

 

[Shayuri]

I...see...

But even then, we wouldn't get twice the number of feats. We'd just get feats on the normal scale. So we'd have 26 hit dice now, and next "level" (level 27) we'd get another epic feat.

I need to go back and make sure I didn't use gestalt rules now, otherwise I'm shorting myself hit points and skill points.

Ok if I chime in and your correct,

Everything above is right and should be found in the character gene portion if the RG, I think been a while since I looked there.

Question. Where do you want us to post the stories of the gods over the course of the year? In the IC thread, or would that be too distracting?
