The basic premise I am thinking of is having the party be the reincarnations of gods, which they pick from a list. Being a reincarnation gives the person the ability to turn into an avatar once per day for a number of turns equal to their level, and the avatar levels alongside them.
An example avatar would be ALMIGHTY THOR (level 10):
+2 Returning Thundering and Shocking Burst hammer
+10 DR/-
+10 Strength enhancement
3/day Lightning Bolt SLA
Fly at will
The use of the avatars is mitigated by two factors:
1. They have a limited use per day, so destroying a military base is effectively impossible.
2. Using the avatars draws the attention of the creatures that killed the gods (Eldritch Abominations).
The types of gods would be from Earth's history, and the goal is to restore your powers before the abominations catch up to you. I'm aiming for a playable American Gods feel.
Any thoughts? Does it sound unplayable?
