[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 1613332, member: 710"] In the Diamond Throne Campaign Setting, it is not clear what gods really are... There are no Clerics (since it as an AU campaign). The thing that comes next to them are magepriests. But even they seem only gain access (mechanically at least - the background for a priest varies) to powerful spirits and outsiders. I like the idea of a single small cult following a powerful outsider that still can be slain by mortals. Imagine a litorian tribe worshipping a blood demon (what ever it might be in terms of rules). He demands them to go around killing others (drinking their blood and eating their flesh), and in exchance he grants thim a little power. (Maybe he bestows upon the power of rage or something like that...) Since none of my players are active on this board (but if anyone is: stop reading NOW!) In fact, I will use as the theme of base for an upcoming adventures for my players. :) The final of the campaign as I plan it is the destruction of one of the few gods mentioned in the DT setting, specifically the demigodess "Verdella Thresam". Since she plans to destroy the world/plane (even if only as a side effect of her schemes to gain more power) itself, she makes a good target for the characters (especially the Giant Paladin, ahem Giant Inspector of the Diamond Throne). But this fight will not be to simple or simply repeatable - specific items, magic phenomena, spells and allies will have to be in place to destroy her. (And I am not going to give her real diety stats in the final battle against her - I don`t plan to use epic level rules or something like that...) Mustrum Ridcully [/QUOTE]
