God

“	What a fool you are. I'm a god! How can you kill a god?! What a grand and intoxicating innocence!	”
—Dagoth Ur, Unknown Fiendish Demigod, Book of Morrowind

The gods; mighty avatars of aspects of life, given flesh through the spirit, given breath through belief. These great beings exist above mortalkind, running the world from their thrones in distant planes, maintaining the safety and security of the afterlife, and running aeon-long plots in an eternal political game against others. Yet not all of these gods were born at the beginning of time. Some began their roots as humble low-level spirits, spirits which grew beyond the constraints of their body and mind and like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, changed into something greater than they were. They are the deities, from mere quasideity whose mortal connections remain strong, to greater deities who control the elemental forces themselves.

The road through the levels of godhood is a long one full of challenge, yet in doing so not only do they defeat the bonds of death, but they tie themselves to the very aspects of the universe. In due time, perhaps they will control the very same universe they represent.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the God.

Advancement: At each level except 3rd and every five levels beyond (8th, 13th, 18th, and 23rd), you gain

Skills: A god takes all the skills from previous classes as class skills.

Divine Aura (Ex): A god gains a divine aura out to 10 feet, which the deity can use for three different effects. Activating or excluding subjects is a free action, and changing which aura is active is a swift action. All divine aura effects are mind-affecting, extraordinary abilities. The saving throw is 10 + 1/2 HD + your highest ability score. Choose from the following:

• Awe: Your radiance fascinates other beings into a stupor. All creatures with HD equal or less than your own must make a Will save or become fascinated for as long as they remain in line of sight, and for 1 minute after, save negates. An opponent that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to that same deity’s aura of awe for 24 hours.
• Fear: Your wrath is most terrible. All creatures with HD equal or less than your own must make a Will save of become frightened for 1 minute. On a successful save they are instead shaken for 1 minute. Those with higher HD than you make a save vs shaken instead, save negates. An opponent that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to that same deity’s aura of fear for 24 hours.
• Resolve: You bolster your allies and fill them with zeal. All allies in your aura receive a +4 morale bonus on attacks, damage, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

At 4th level the range of your aura expands. It becomes equal to your divine rank x 100 feet. At 9th level it becomes your divine rank x 1 mile. At 14th level it becomes your divine rank x 100 miles. Finally at 19th level, it becomes your divine rank x 10,000 miles, enough to cover entire planets.

Divine Immunities (Ex): A god becomes immune to Death, Mind-Affecting, Petrification, and Polymorph effects.

Title of Quasideity: 1

Divine Speed (Ex): 2-5-10-15-20 A god is as swift as lightning. The god's base speed doubles at 2nd level. At 5th level, this increases to five times the original base speed. At 10th level, this increases to ten times the original base speed. At 15th level, this increases to one hundred times the original base speed. Finally at level 20th, this increases to one thousand times the original base speed.

Damage Reduction (Ex): A god must be tough. At 2nd level a god receives DR 10/cosmic, allowing them to bypass cosmic damage reduction. At 6th level the damage reduction becomes DR 20/cosmic. At 11th level, it becomes DR 40/cosmic. At 16th it becomes DR 80/cosmic. Finally at 21st it becomes DR 160/cosmic.

Energy Resistance (Ex): A god must be endure the elements. At 2nd level a god receives energy resistance 10 (acid, cold, electric, fire, and sonic). At 6th level this becomes energy resistance 20. At 11th level this becomes energy resistance 40. At 16th this becomes energy resistance 80. Finally at 21st this becomes energy resistance 160.

Adaptive Form (Ex): At 3rd level a god is not bound by mere mortal laws like not breathing in space, dying of starvation, and burning to death in lava. They are always under the effect of adapt body as an extraordinary effect, and no longer need to eat, sleep, or breath to survive. Finally, their voice carries regardless of medium, even allowing them to speak underwater or in space. A silence field still silences them however.
