Okey, the other problem is this:
I want to start this things with the player at lvl 1. But there is some option that I'm unsure.
1. She get back her 'godhood' when reaching epic level, so, not problems with this for some time.
2. A deity of DR 0, unless I'm mistaken, gets like DR 35/magic, Max HP, increased speed, a possible deflection bonus, a bunch of immunties, a bunch of resistances, spell-like abilities at will, and some other stuff.. To give this her at the beginning. Or to put in class with her class level. Getting back her olds powers. But, how to do this ?
3. Dunno..

Each couple of millenia, An unwanted ritual is preformed by the gods. Their hate for each other that has been growing for a long time will change the world.
Something like a cold war began, creating a wierd situation for the mortals, who could sometimes be slain just for talking to a member of another race. The situation is critical.
Until... One of the gods made the first move, and directly attacked another god, which provoked all the other gods into a free-for-all fight.
For months, the sky was blackened, blasting lightening onto the earth in never-before-seen amounts. The earth shakes, making volcanoes erupt almost everywhere. Cataclysm after cataclysm, the world is slowly falling apart. Only the older races remember this time of troubles, and hope never to see it again.
Then, a large hole appears in the sky, shining through the thick smoke. Someone falls from it with an eternal and painful scream. A god is falling.. dying from his wounds. A god falling to the mortal plane, to die. A god banished from the high world. A god that.. will change everything..
His falls provoke an unwanted emotion in everyone's heart, making all of his worshippers attack his assassin. One thing follows another, and soon they declare war on all the gods...
The gods fall, one after the other. Slain, or banished to other planes. Soon, only a few gods remain. The few gods that survived decided to work together, free to reshape the world with unlimited freedom. Creating a new era.
The 'neutral' world has ceased to exist. The remaining gods are good and lawful at heart, and reshaped the world to fit their philosophy.
Some millenia after this..
The evil creatures that populate our world are now exiled to the deepest cavern or hiding far, far away in the woods. Away from the pladins and the clerics. All of the monsterous races are nearly extinct, desperately trying to repopulate their civilization, but without hope of success.
People have forgotten what a war is. Murder is extremely rare- almost unheard of. The land is rich, food is available in very large quantities, and the land is plentiful.
All the remaining gods are good, without any evil domains: so religion is limited to good, making people stay away from bad things or temptation. The gods all work together to keep the world as bright and peaceful as it is.
Still, the excluded races have created a hidden society underground. All living together after hard generations of violence to get to this mutual relation. (An hierarchial society not defined yet.) They adapted to this new environment and became stronger and more wise over time.
Time has passed and monsters are becoming so rare that they are becomming legends, only stories to frighten children. The old elves (Who survived the last war) still walk the lands, enchanting them and keeping everything beautiful. The old dwarves mine the ground to create caverns beyond the wildest dreams of the gods.. The sun shines like never before, everything grows perfectly. The land is considered heaven by most. There coudn't be a better time in history.
This is a grammatical and spelling correction to your previous post, or at least the main bit. Does that help?

Interesting. The best way to determine an ECL for this would just be to playtest it...see what kind of CR the character can take on, and after a while, just assign an ad hoc one.

Yeah, it can be adjusted while playing.
Updated the table for the domains.
Any though?

That's dicefreaks for you. Any rules the boardies give you will be over-over-overengineered.

Ask for a new core class and they'll give you the class, an epic progression, optional expanded rules, ten different min/max builds to exploit it, a dozen new feats, half a dozen new epic feats, three monsters with a few levels of the class, a conversion to GURPS, and a partridge in a pear tree.

You're a Dice Freak? Interesting. Come to think, I've been seeing you guys all over various DnD boards, particularly the WotC ones. What others are you members of?

Just develop it further. Keep working on both it and your English, and it'll prove pretty interesting.

awe, noun. A mixed emotion of reverence, respect, dread, and wonder inspired by authority, genius, great beauty, sublimity, or might: EXAMPLE SENTENCES: We felt awe when contemplating the works of Bach. The observers were in awe of the destructive power of the new weapon.
I don't think that's what you meant. Can you rephrase that?
