This is concerning a game involving Me, Drack, AvalonŽ and BelGareth. The premise of the game is that we'll all be playing the god monster class and will be participating in godly(or goddessly) activities.
The game is aimed at high power and at least level 20. All four of us are interested in being players. A DM would be appreciated.
Sigmar grant me the
bourbon to accept the things I cannot change, the bullets to change the
things I can, and a big-titted sidekick who knows the
difference.
Oooh, me too! Although, I am dubious to back anything that is approved by the Drack Party!
But... *quickly thinks up lame slogan* ... If that game ain't on crack, it ain't got drack. Vote drack at your next election, you will be disappointed.
Would it be possible to make any worthwhile war gods using only that class?
*Looking at 1/2 BAB*
Anyways, I'll be brainstorming up some god concepts...

Oh yeah, almost forgot to say, I've done one god of evil/secrets/darkness, one of peace/woodlands/nature, and one of light/valor/justice so far, so I think it's time for another dark god. I'll be going for god of torture&suffering (primary portfolio element)/revenge, and cynicism (lesser portfolio elements)
(I may be beginning to see why my political party isn't greeted with open arms and acceptance...)
Edit: Vary disappointed at how Hollywood has taken a perfectly respectable thing like torture and made it a sadly deformed masochist's wet dream. *glares at modern horror* Oh well, after all nobody wants real torture in their happy movie about chomping people's heads off... Well they generally keep some elements of it in their proper place. Anyways when a DM pops in I' curious how everyone's thinking of handling this followers thing...?

I do believe a god of war can choose the God Smite twice to gain a bonus equal to divine rank on all attacks with ranged/melee weapons.
Quote:
God Smite- Choose ranged or melee. The Demigod gains a bonus on all attack rolls of that kind equal to her Divine Rank. If she has 20 or more HD she no longer automatically fails attack rolls of that kind on a natural 1. You can pick this up to two times, choosing a diferent option each time.
Are you being serious or sarcastic? I can't tell....
....which scares me....
You could other times?
Sadly this time I am serious. Things like Zuse's blood dripping own and forming into the monsters of Greek myth when it hits the ground, Bahamut's spell immunity, or Erythnul's manyfold rage. Did nobody read or even page through that book? Plenty of gods have em, an I had always thought it a wonderful idea to have one or two abilities for gods personalized to the to more fully capture what it is they represent.
@Wavelab: I'll see first what pops into my head before doing deciding if I'm really going for a war god.

Let's see what we have to work with first before going gestalt or anything.

I was looking at ShadowFireLance's stupid high god game.
And was thinking, it would be really cool to use the IHA to create a verse that was completely of our making. I mean completely, no Demon princes, no Arch Devils, no Arch Angels, etc...
Unless created by the players.
A Prime would be the base of the verse, and anything the players created...
The premise would be the interaction between gods on the prime, and the opposition of newly elevated heroes coming to power and turning their hungry gaze to the heavens (or hells...or whatever)
Now, I am only just reading the IHA, but it seems interesting, and I was thinking of standard rules, 30-40 ish, 100,000,000 Quintessence....
This is just a thought, so if you don't like it, thats ok. (if you do, it would be a long game, with a long creation period and we would need about 2 more players)
You know, the God class was made to flow from 1-20... so you could just start at like 6th and play out the parties growth from small gods to the ruling pantheon.

That is an interesting option. Just be aware of how powerful that handbook can get. And if that is the case wouldn't it make more sense to use the templates in the book instead of the class?

That is also an option, but I think the party is aiming towards a bit of high level optimisation at this.

True, using the Templates would be better...
I am ...aware of the power...Some house rules would be in play, for example, immunity's change from reducing all damage to 0 to energy resistant 5/level.
And for other immunities (like mind blank) something like +1 to saves/level.

and stuff.
I'd agree with this. The templates just work better, and you can always just say somethng silly like level 120 where you can sub any 4 levels for 1RvR or something (numbers just sorta made up, naturally it's up to a DM, just thinking probably decent ranks if we rule it all, and gods have CR4/rank or so, and I've had a DM translate that to ECL before.) Anywho any idea what power you guys are thinking (rank range and level range? I had low epic, and high normal to low major god rank in mind if we're ruling the world, but what do you guys think?)

I'm thinking at least greater deity if we're going to be making/ruling the world.
That's what I was thinking, Greater Deity have 100,000,000-999,999,999 Quintessence.
I forget, which were the mechanics for Quintessence again?
Also suggesting we scratch up a quick mechanic for using souls of fallen followers for "acts of god", minimum follower limits (to stay a god), and decide if we're going with there being overdeities and the like there, or if we're The First (along with presence of minor deities).

It's mostly used in Apotheosis, so in this context, is moot.
Worship points are important if you want to delineate your power directly to your worshipers. Those rules are a little hairy (TBH I barely read them)
