James could conceivably be powerful enough to take on just about anyone in this game, but why would he... those who read my most recent character post(as of when this is written) should see what I mean.

Much to James's surprise, the whole bar seen thing wasn't anywhere near as appealing as it had been in his younger days. Indeed, he was no longer that man. Clearly despite his best efforts, the years responsibility that comes with divinity had grown on him, become part of his being. After several minutes of contemplation on the issue, James decided to end his little vacation early. James arose from his chair and teleported away, only to find himself in the exact same spot he was at before he teleported, only this time with a few people staring at him like he was an idiot.

"That's odd," James thought to himself, "that's never happened before. I wonder..." Without a word spoken, James teleported to just outside of the town. "Well, at least I can still do that," James said to himself, "though, this could be very problematic, since it would appear that I'm stuck in this realm. How am I going to get myself out of this one..." After a few minutes of talking to himself out loud, and several people staring at him strangely, James finally came up with a plan.

"Those guys from earlier," James said to himself, "while chances are they're just some fools who had had too much to drink, there might actually some merit to their claims of divinity. For all I know, the gods here could crush me like an insect, if that is the case, I'll definitely have to play it smart this time, since I'm clearly at the disadvantage being out of my element..." James paused as he noticed the various people around him, looking at him as if he were completely insane. Not being one to pass up a good opportunity, James continued his outer monologue, "Now, if 6 one equals huh to the ? power, then those guys will treat me like the powerful ninja bunny I am, but if 6 one is 42, than I am clearly a pirate gopher and my entire belief structure is wrong and I will not go the magical land of Van Halen when 97th month of the 35th year has a complete eclipse of all 588 suns..."

Eventually all this rambling caused the people around James to grow increasingly confused and leave so that they do not catch whatever mental illness he has. When he was alone again, James continued his pondering, "Of course, there's no guarantee that those guys could or would want to be helpful, but at the very least, it's worth a shot." With that, James quickly headed into town to find those supposed deities.

Never thought I'd see the day where someone was hounding Alorael like this... Next thing you, people will be worshiping Imban as a great prophet of Allah... Oh well, I'll get over it.

Not in on the joke, but it's bound to be better than the town of "Phallus" I encountered in a D&D game. The game almost ended there cause of all the jokes we ended up making about it.

After being thrown out of 27 towns in less than 3 days, James finally can across a town that, at a glance, seemed a little more appropriate to his interests. True to his nature, James headed to the first bar he came across and began to inquire about its services. After a brief conversation with the bartender, he had all the information he needed. "Let's see here," James thought to himself, "it's a bar, an inn, and a brothel?! That settles it, I'm not letting them kick me out of this place." James reached into one of the pockets on his overcoat, pulled out a sack of coins, handed it to the bartender and asked, "Is this enough to by everyone here a drink?" The bartender opened the bag and was somewhat confused by the imagery on the coins. "Never seen coins like this before," the bartender said, "Where'd you say you were from?" "A very far off kingdom," replied James, "and let's just leave it at that." The bartender just shrugged and went back to serving drinks.

With the formalities dealt with, James reached into his overcoat and pulled out his guitar and began to play music that was surprisingly appropriate to the bar seen. As he played, he tried to listen in on the conversations around him, hoping to hear of something productive to do with his time. Somewhere in the mix, he did hear one thing that caught his attention. "Hmmm," James thought to himself, "God of Sobriety... How evil would that be. I bet he'd win a lot of drinking contests..."

I really don't see why it is such a big deal anyway... with that in mind, I suppose James the Deity will have to be the God(with plenty of room for a Goddess) of Love, though his abilities to create and destroy life will not be completely removed, just greatly reduced(and by reduced, I mean, won't be anywhere near as great, nor divine in nature)

With the new restrictions to creation abilities in mind, does this seems like a good way to do spells for them? Or are the added creation restrictions still not enough to make them able to have spells yet?

I really don't see how it matters, but here's the rationalization...

Love, the magical force that makes the world work.
Love, the leading cause of the creation of new life.
Love, one of the top reasons for people getting killed.

That's an awful lot of territory for one god... and we've already got a god of Death. Personally, I'd prefer it if you could pick one of the three.

But if I'm not mistaken, competition between gods is encouraged. 'Sides, it's not like he's the first multi-portfolio deity ever to exist.

EDIT: Question, 'at what point in time do we actually try to get characters together?'

Still shaken up from recent events, James left his domain and followers in the care of his most trusted & powerful servant. He had gotten everything he ever thought he'd want, only to realize that through it all, he had lost something that was far more precious than he expected. Which is why he went on his great journey, something he had to constantly remind himself of.

After a few weeks and travel, James came across a small village within a lush and lovely landscape. As James contemplated whether or not he was going to stop in the village, a small group of muscular, heavily armed men stumbled across him. One man who seemed to be the leader shouted to James, "We don't like strangers around here, 'specially ones who look like you. If you give us all of your money, we might let you leave here alive."

"It never fails. Try to take a vacation and you run straight into trouble," James thought to himself. "Tell you what," James said, "how bout you girls go home and leave the menfolk alone." "What did you say," shouted the leader of the thugs. Without a seconds worth of thought, James waved his hand and froze the thugs in place. "That should keep you guys from bothering anyone for a good hour or so," James declared to the confused brigands. Without further talk, James just walked off.

A few hours later James came across another village, similar to the one he encountered before. James walked into the village and headed straight for the bar, hoping to find some random adventurers to tag along with or at the very least hit on a barmaid, get into a bar fight, and get thrown out in 5 minutes or less.

Okay... If it doesn't have death, it isn't death, got it.

On a side note... How's this for an improvement on the restriction of spell-like abilities creations can have:

Ability Cost Limit Description
Any Spell-like +1/day 1 point per spell lv infinate Can use a spell as a spell-like ability once a day per total
+1/day times this ability is taken. Max spell-lv bestowable is 1/2
the creation's hit dice(lv spells at 1 hit dice, max lv 4 spells
at 8 hit dice)

Damaging Spell-like 3 points per spll lv Once per Can use a damaging spell as a spell-like ability at will, max
ability at will ability spell-lv bestowable is 1/3 creation's hit dice
(lv 1 spells at 1 hit dice, max lv 5 spells at 15 hit dice)

Healing Spell-like 4 points per spell lv Once per Can use a healing spell as a spell-like ability at will, max
at will ability spell-lv bestowable is 1/4 creation's hit dice
(lv 0 spells at 1 hit dice, max lv 4 spells at 16 hit dice)

Ultility Spell-like 2 points per spell lv Once per Can use a non-healing, non-damaging utility spell as a
ability at will ability spell-like ability at will, max spell-lv bestowable is
1/3 creation's hit dice (lv 1 spells at 1 hit dice, max lv
6 spells at 18 hit dice)
EDIT: Wait, Implosion does not actually deal damage like Disintegrate does. Anything that requires a "Save or Die" and does not deal actual damage should be covered under Deathward as per the following:

"The subject is immune to all death spells, magical death effects, energy drain, and any negative energy effects(such as from inflict light wounds or chill touch)"

Note that "death spells" and "magical death effects" are not the same thing.

Um, quick question: How does something that requires a "Save or die" not count as a death effect?

EDIT: That one confuses me

Further Edit:

I'm pretty sure our DM was mostly going off the "Round by Round" tactics in the book for that fight. With the one exception of the stuff that involved any sort of extra-dimensional travel(ie Gate, Dimension Door, Teleport, Planeshift ect), which I suppose does lower the CR of each creature to something closer to what we should have been fighting(and kinda taking a little away from Kitten's glory-not that it matters anyway-).

Btw. For keeping score, Kitten isn't one of my characters. A friend of mine made him(origonally as a joke character -obviously-).

The hit points add on is just hit dice, that's it. Other than giving the ability to give creations some better stuff, the hit points only give just that, hit points.

As far as type and subtype are concerned... it's never really come up before. All I've had to establish is that all creations fall under the same category when it comes to stuff like Bane and Favored Enemy. I suppose Magical Beast for all non-humanoids would be the easiest way to cover that one.

Edit: The base template is what you get for 1 point. It never improves(I tried one that did and it was a big pain). All you can do is spend more points to add onto the base template.
