CR for a Diety

[Ghill]

I created a stat block for the diety of one of my major nations in my next campaign, but I can't figure out how OBSCENE the Challange Rating should be.

Gastar Four Arm

Hit points are off. 60 HD multiplyed by constituton modifier 5 equals 300 extra hit points. Even a DR 0 deity receives max hit points per hit dice (think abominations) so HP should be... 780 hp.

BAB as well, considering all of those are Outsider HD, should be +40 (well +20 BAB, +20 epic bonus)

Deities can use the spells in their domains as spell-like abilities at will.

After all the fixes... Hmm... 45, 50 at best. He also needs some armor to go with those weapons because the AC is utterly meh. Spell resistance 30... I suppose you went for half his HD? it is usually 10 (or another number) + HD.

I'd suggest looking at Complete Divine If I remember correctly for statting gods.

Not Complete Divine. I think it was Deities & Demigods, though a lot of it is in the SRD (http://systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/divine.html).

My bad. I normally don't stat out gods. :smallredface:

I just know because I happened to see all the Divine stuff in the SRD one day, got excited, and rushed to my copy of Complete Divine, only to be met with disappointment. :smallwink:

[black dragoon]

It happens. You are right though. It is deities and Demigods. I know because I've borrowed a copy off my friend And remember the temptation of statting out a god.

[Ghill]

Thank you! I'll update that then.

Edit: Theoretically he should have a Divine Rank 20... This is my first custom Diety, so I will be doing a lot of editing...

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

BAB as well, considering all of those are Outsider HD, should be +40 (well +20 BAB, +20 epic bonus).

Actually, racial HD still gain the normal BAB instead of the epic bonus, so 80 outsider HD will grant a +80 BAB.

As he's written right now, this guy looks to be about CR 26 to 31. I'm sure it would go up a healthy bit if you were to give him the salient divine abilities he's due.


If you want advice on writing up a god, the Dicefreaks forum (there's a link below in my signature) has a subforum devoted to gods which you could post on. I think Dicefreaks is one of the better forums out there for high-level play, though I should stress they do a lot of high-quality lower-level work too.

Give him class levels. 20+ Cleric and a few Barbarian or Fighter. Maybe Fighter 25/Cleric 25/Outsider 20, giving him the maximum 70 HD, as 25d10+45d8+300, and in the order taken he's got a BAB of 70. (every level after the 20th for a divinity with 20 Outsider dice is full BAB)

Outsider dice are also full BAB...

At any rate, he should have Epic Spellcasting (he is a deity, after all) and maximized bonuses on all his items. Even the loincloth should give a bonus. His treasure (since he's divine) should be worth a couple thousand platinum pieces. At least.
