Accidentally Becoming A God


Gamer Life General Discussion


Hey! First time posting here on the Paizo boards, but I though here was equally as important to talk with folks here as the D&D boards, especially since my campaign is in the Pathfinder rule set. What I have is a request. Please share your own stories of PC godhood here!

I also have a link to my new blog that has my story of a player becoming a god (initially quite by accident). Please go and read, and feel free to leave me any messages regarding that.

Story of Aikos Part 1


If you can prove that this player is now a god, s/he will be the most famous person in history for innumerable reasons.

If it's a player character, otoh....

Anyway, my players' characters are just beginning their Immortality Quests for a Mystara game. Two Polymaths, one Dynast and one Paragon. I was hoping for an Epic Hero to have a complete set, but whatever.

(sorry for the delayed response) You are so right. Probably should have specified that the player was a god. Although you can't disprove that the player is himself a god of cakes....

There's a reason Cayden Cailean is called 'The Accidental God'

What was his motivation aside from being stupid drunk? I heard a theory that is kinda not for polite conversation.


I think he wanted to get laid. Either that or it was a drunken bet.


Pretty sure it was a drunken bet.

Drunken bet.

(The other explanation is most frequently spread by the church of Calistria - their version is that Cayden took the test just for a shot at the goddess.)

Before it was clear that gnomes still died of old age I actually had a PC that was a gnome that basically changed himself up every hundred or so years (aka starts back at level 1 to keep things interesting) and his story was he was the one that bet Cayden to take the test.

I heard a theory that he was hitting on a certain goddess and she said that his mortal body couldn't handle her immortal body. So he said "oh really?", got blind drunk and became a god just so he could get some.

Golarion Gnomes dying of old age strikes me as counter-intuitive. Why else the Bleaching? Blecch.

Presumably the same motivation of any warrior out on the town. Have they EVER needed a reason?


Becoming a deity is actually the central purpose of the main campaign I'm running here on the boards - although in this particular case, it's mainly about regaining divinity after losing it. XD It's basically my experiment in high-power, high-challenge solo-character games.
