Combat
Boccob neither seeks nor avoids confrontations, though he does not hesitate to disabuse others of the illogicality and foolishness of fighting him; he desires balance above morality, knowledge above all. As Lord of All Magic and the Archmage of the Deities, Boccob has virtually limitless options in dealing with those foolish enough to challenge him, or assuming he feels threatened or amused by the other party.
Boccob always has foresight and true seeing cast upon his person and so is never deceived, surprised or flat-footed. He will wrap himself in various magical protections to stymie attempts at harming him. Immediately after, he will increase his armor class (+22) with single uses of his Balance domain power and activate his Divine Shield. He will always be Seeing Magic as the salient divine ability.
He will then initiate combat by calling on his Divine Aura, setting it to daze, and calming emotions to force peace upon the battlefield. Against obvious extraplanar foes, he will imprison, or dismiss or banish them back to their own planes. Usually this will end the combat, freeing Boccob to attend to important matters and leaving the dignity of his opponents intact. If violence persists, Boccob will neither give nor ask for quarter.
He will saturate the area with antimagic fields and launch disjunctions, greater dispel magics and reaving dispels at enemy spellcasters, melee specialists and rogues in that order. He will resolve this round by speaking words of balance, killing, paralyzing, weakening or nauseating nonneutral creatures and detonating an enhanced and intensified sacred fire storm on the party, dealing half divine and sonic damage.
If foes are still standing, Boccob will cast a veritable battery of combat spells, dispelling magic all the while. His incredible intelligence allows Boccob to select the most appropriate attack form for opponents, through use of Spontaneous Wizard Spells, and determine when to convert spells to the appropriate element or energy accordingly. He will follow up his previous spell barrage by unleashing fireballs, greater shouts, incendiary clouds, polar rays, meteor swarms, spheres of ultimate destruction with modified elements or energies as appropriate and repeating throughout combat as necessary.
Against foes that seem to be particularly persistent, Boccob will first launch arcane fire on his adversaries dealing raw magical energy and is then quick to cast epic spells, preferring those that strip away magical protections and known spells, and the disc of concordant opposition.
For exceedingly heavily protected and tenacious foes, Boccob will unleash salvos of his Divine Blast.
Boccob will never allow fighting to descend into physical fisticuffs, finding it barbaric and superfluous.
Alter Reality (Su): Boccob exerts a considerable measure of control over reality itself, and his very presence can command the very essence of the world around him.
Boccob can use the wish spell and duplicate practically any spell effect as long as the effect promotes magic, arcane knowledge, foresight, foreknowledge, balance or neutrality. This ability costs him no XP and requires a standard action to implement.
He may cast any cure spell at will as a standard action. Applying metamagic feats to the spells requires him to forego using alter reality for 1 round for each level the feat would normally add to the equivalent spell.
As a swift action, Boccob can assume any size from Fine to Colossal. This ability allows Boccob to assume any proportions from the size of a grain of sand up to as much as 1,600 feet tall. Finally, Boccob may create up to twenty avatars.
Archmage of the Deities (unique salient divine ability): Boccob is without question among the greatest practitioners of arcana in the multiverse. His untold millennia of arcane mastery is virtually unmatched by any save the greatest deities or cosmic entities of magic. This mastery manifests itself in a variety of ways. First, Boccob has mastered all applicable high arcana. In addition, Boccob need never sacrifice or expend spell slots for his arcana as they are intrinsically tied to his very essence.
Arcane Fire (Su): Boccob can channel arcane spell energy into arcane fire, manifesting it as a bolt of raw magical energy. The bolt is a ranged touch attack with long range (700 ft.) that always deals 170 points of damage.
Arcane Reach (Su): Boccob can use spells with a range of touch on a target up to 170 feet away. Boccob must still make a ranged touch attack.
Mastery of Counterspelling: When Boccob counterspells a spell, it is turned back upon the caster as if it were fully affected by a spell turning spell. This reflection of spell energy affects even area-affecting spells which are typically not subject to spell turning; for example, if an enemy wizard casts a fireball in an area of effect that could affect Boccob, the fireball would be redirected to an area of effect centered on the enemy caster.
Mastery of Elements: Boccob can alter an arcane spell when cast so that it utilizes a different element or energy from the one it normally uses. This ability can alter spells with the acid, cold, fire, electricity, sonic, or positive or negative energy descriptors. The spell’s casting time is unaffected and Boccob may apply the appropriate element or energy to the spell as a swift action; for example, Boccob may fully transform an ice storm spell so that it deals positive energy damage before casting a delayed blast fireball that deals electricity damage. All spells modified this way always deal maximum damage.
Mastery of Shaping: Boccob can alter area and effect spells that use one of the following shapes: burst, cone, cylinder, emanation, or spread and may do so as an immediate action.
Domain Powers: Boccob casts divination spells at +3 caster level; Boccob uses scrolls, wands, and other devices with spell completion or spell trigger activation as a 77th level wizard; 17/day as a free action, Boccob adds his Wisdom modifier (+22) to his Armor Class for 60 rounds; Boccob gains a +2 bonus on Concentration and Spellcraft checks
Epic Spells: 10 per day. Epic spells known: animus blast, animus blizzard, disc of concordant opposition, contingent resurrection, crown of vermin, demise unseen, dire winter, dreamscape, eclipse, eidolon, enslave, epic counterspell, epic mage armor, epic repulsion, epic spell reflection, greater epic mage armor, greater ruin, hellball, kinetic control, let go of me, living lightning, lord of nightmares, mass frog, momento mori, mummy dust, nailed to the sky, peripety, rain of fire, raise island, ruin, safe time, spell worm, soul dominion, soul scry, summon behemoth, superb dispelling, verdigris. Boccob has access to additional epic spells beyond this list; the actual extent of his knowledge of epic magic is unknown.
Lord of All Magic (unique salient divine ability): Boccob is virtually unrivalled in his knowledge and application of spells and effects. Firstly, his mastery and knowledge of spells is such that he automatically casts arcane spells without need for spellbooks – in game terms, he gains a virtual Spell Mastery feat for all schools of magic. Additionally, Boccob may select spells from any spell list, whether arcane or divine (cleric and noncleric spell lists) and cast those spells as wizard spells.
In addition, his spells are extremely difficult to resist and obliterate spell resistance with ease – he gains Greater Spell Focus and Epic Spell Focus as virtual feats for all schools of magic and all spells cast by him receive a further +17 divine bonus to caster level.
Finally, for the purposes of his Lore ability, he uses the totality of his caster level to determine the bonus (typically +139).
Spell-Like Abilities: At will –– antimagic field, anyspell, augury, banishment, break enchantment, calm motions, clairaudience/clairvoyance, clarity of mind, commune, detect secret doors, detect thoughts, discern location, dismissal, divination, find the path, foresight, greater anyspell, greater dispel magic, greater scrying, imbue with spell ability, legend lore, identify, limited wish, make whole, mage armor, mass sanctuary, mordenkainen’s disjunction, nystul’s magic aura, protection from spells, rary’s mnemonic enhancer, scrying, silence, spell resistance, spell turning, true seeing, weighed in the balance, word of balance. Caster level 77th, caster level 80th for divination spells. Save DCs = 50 + spell level.
Wizard Spells per Day (Levels 0 – 25): Boccob casts spells as a 117th level wizard and as a 120th level caster for divination spells. 4/10/10/10/10/10/9/9/9/9/5/5/5/5/4/4/4/4/3/3/3/3/2/2/2/2. Save DC = 66 + spell level.
Other Divine Powers
As a greater deity, Boccob automatically receives the best possible result on any die roll he makes (including checks, saves, and wizard caster level); as a deity of magic, Boccob does not receive the best possible die roll to attack rolls or damage as martial deities may receive. He is immortal.
Automatic Actions: Boccob can use any Intelligence-based skill, any skill that deals with arcane knowledge, or any Knowledge skill, even those he has no ranks in, as an immediate action if the DC for the task is 30 or lower; he can use Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft as a swift action if the DC for the task is 47 or less. Boccob can also cast any arcane spell or spell-like ability as a swift action; though he can only cast seven swift action spells per round. He can use legend lore and analyze dweomer as swift actions at will. Boccob can perform up to twenty swift actions each round.
Create Magic Items: As the deity of magic, Boccob can create any kind of magic item, and need only expend half the time and resources in doing so.
Portfolio Sense: Boccob senses all magic use (spellcasting, item use, spell-like ability use, magic item effect or magic item creation) seventeen weeks before it happens and retains the sensation for seventeen weeks after the event occurs. He has a similar ability to sense the discovery, recording, or sharing of any spell or bit of arcane knowledge. He likewise senses any prophecy or prediction of the future (whether accurate or not) and any event that alters the balance of good, evil, law and chaos in the cosmology.
Senses: Boccob can see, hear, touch, and smell at distance of seventeen miles. As a standard action, he can perceive anything within seventeen miles of his worshippers, holy sites, objects, or any location where one of his titles or name was spoken in the last hour. He can extend his senses to up to twenty locations at once. He can block the sensing power of deities of divine rank 17 or lower at up to two remote locations at once for 17 hours.
The Staff of the Archmagus: This beautiful oaken staff is shod in adamantine and inscribed with shimmering golden runes that seemingly move across the oak. The staff is capped with platinum sigils and topped with a massive purple diamond bearing the symbol of Boccob. The Staff of the Archmagus, otherwise known as the Staff of Boccob, is a +6 defending quarterstaff save that it deals 1d8 damage and has a x3 critical multiplier.
On a critical hit, one must succeed in a Fortitude save DC 50 or permanently lose spells or spell-like abilities of an amount equal to one-half of one’s hit dice. Only a wish or miracle can restore a level’s worth of spells or spell-like abilities. A deity or cosmic entity using divine or cosmic abilities to heal may automatically restore lost spells or spell-like abilities, so long as they succeed on an opposed rank check.
Arcana lost in this manner are absorbed by the staff as charges and provide 10 charges per HD of spells lost.
Boccob can draw out the arcana within his staff. For every 10 levels worth of spells within the weapon, Boccob receives a +1 divine bonus to his Knowledge, Spellcraft, caster level checks and spell DC. By expending charges in this way, he may negate XP costs or backlash damage when casting spells or epic spells.
Spells or spell-like abilities that fail to penetrate Boccob’s spell resistance are automatically absorbed by the staff to likewise provide charges.
Boccob may cast any spell he knows through the staff without losing the spell slot for the day and may freely apply metamagic feats to the expended spell.
Boccob may, as a standard action, alter the staff to emanate properties of known magical and epic staves, for example, Boccob may modify the staff so that it otherwise functions as a staff of the cosmos, or as a staff of passage; the spells cast by the staff in this way use the spell charges stored in the weapon.
Boccob typically has 600 charges stored within his staff, these charges reset daily if expenditure does not take place.
I'll definitely convert any posted deities and/or cosmic entities into Pathfinder rules to see how it interfaces with divine creation rules.
The only thing he can't do from 17 miles away is taste
He's got a spell for that...
great work. i always thought that the gods in Deities and demigods were kinda stale and hollow but this version of boccob makes much more sence.
Thank you!
The deities in Deities and Demigods were okay but weren't designed with epic rules, which is understandable considering that the statistics therein were very powerful even without epic; this became somewhat of a problem when the deities couldn't reasonably match up with epic monsters and lacked access to epic spellcasting and epic feats.Do the unique salient abilities and the (obscene) caster level in particular seem okay?
I love that he can touch from 17 miles away. Something about that just makes me giggle inside
"I can touch you, but you can't touch me, like."
His ability to both see and touch at range gives new meaning to the term: Voyeur.
"Hey! Who did that?!"
"Wait, what? There's no one here for 17 miles!"
The only thing he can't do from 17 miles away is tasteHe's got a spell for that...
Definitely, if there's a spell, whether arcane or divine, for it, then Boccob has conceived and devised it. Though he'll probably make limited use of such a spell...

Combat
Though a deity of warriors and martial endeavor, Corellon does not find war as his primary concern. Rather, it is the proliferation of peace and freedom that drives him. It is through honor and mercy that one may find true courage and prowess in even greater degree than in war. It is for this reason that Corellon is primarily a defensive combatant and will usually accept any offers of surrender or reconciliation on part of enemies.
Corellon usually begins combat wrapped in his Divine Aura and protective ward. Thereafter, he usually casts spells or uses bardic abilities designed to enfeeble opponents or induce slumber, rather than to cripple or harm. These enemies he then shunts to other planes or returns to their own plane via his magic. This usually ends the combat.
To those who would spit upon diplomacy, who would rend peace, Corellon is a terrifying opponent of virtually unsurpassed skill.
In this event, Corellon will unleash the terrible might of the Coronal of Arvandor and First of the Seldarine.
Corellon’s Supreme Initiative always allows him to act first within a combat round. He usually opens with a Dire Charge, wielding Sahandrian with consummate skill, the dizzying array of cuts and slashes too fast for the eye to follow. This full attack usually causes the targeted opponent to evaporate in a mist of blood, evoking terror in any remaining combatants and causing them to flee. This display of supreme swordsmanship also usually ends the combat.
For particularly resistant or tenacious enemies, Corellon will cast spells selected for area of affect and damage dealt, peppering the combat with disjunctions and greater dispel magics and mixing his arcana with attacks from Sahandrian. Corellon will also usually cast spells to complement or enhance his martial might, a particularly terrifying prospect for would-be enemies; for example antimagic field, blade barrier or cat’s grace and the like and liberally making use of Arcane Strike.
If Corellon wishes to engage the opponent at range, he will usually surround himself in his Divine Shield and open combat with his artifact longbow or unleash Divine Blasts at his foes. He will follow this up by surrounding himself in greater epic mage armor and casting epic spells.
Bard Spells per Day: Corellon casts spells as an 88th level caster and as an 89th level caster for chaotic and good spells. 4/9/9/9/8/8/8/8/7/7. Save DC = 58 + spell level.
Coronal of Magic (unique salient divine ability): Corellon is the Coronal of Magic; few approach his arcane puissance or his command over elven high magic.
Corellon is naturally attuned to spells and epic spells that are of elven origin. He instantly understands the intricacies of elven magic and is able to channel the power of the spells for himself; this mastery extends even to epic spells, especially mythals, of which he is intimately familiar. This ability functions similarly to the Spell Stowaway epic feat, save the spell in question need not be one that Corellon himself can cast.
Corellon may, as an immediate action, co-opt a protective mythal, harness any powers of existing mythals, whether intact or flayed, or repair corrupt mythals.
Furthermore, Corellon may apply the totality of his hit dice when calculating his arcane spellcasting level. Finally, for the purposes of his bardic lore ability, he utilizes the totality of his hit dice to calculate the bonus (typically +106).
Coronal of War (unique salient divine ability): Corellon is the embodiment of the graceful elven fighter, harmoniously combining elegance and skill into virtually unsurpassed prowess. This is expressed in several ways.
Firstly, Corellon can apply his Dexterity bonus to attacks he makes with any longsword that he can wield in one hand. Further, all damage made by his weapons apply his Dexterity bonus rather than his Strength bonus. Finally, Corellon receives Greater Weapon Focus and Epic Weapon Focus for all martial weapons as bonus feats. Corellon always draws weapons as free actions.
Domain Powers: Corellon casts chaotic and good spells at +1 caster level; Corellon uses scrolls, wands, and other devices with spell completion or spell trigger activation as an 88th level wizard; 19/day as an immediate action, Corellon can generate a protective ward that confers a +69 resistance bonus to his next saving throw for 69 rounds; Corellon gains Point Blank Shot as a bonus a feat; Corellon gains Weapon Focus (composite longbow) and Weapon Focus (longsword) as bonus feats.

Other Divine Powers
As a greater deity, Corellon automatically receives the best possible result on any die roll he makes (including attacks rolls, damage, checks and saves). He is immortal.
Automatic Actions: Corellon can use any Intelligence-based skill or any Dexterity-based skill, even those he has no ranks in, as an immediate action if the DC for the task is 30 or lower. Corellon can also cast any arcane spell as swift action; though he can only cast four swift action spells per round. Corellon can perform up to twenty swift actions each round.
Create Magic Items: Corellon can create any item dedicated to martial or arcane pursuits or any item related to woodcraft or stealth. He need only expend half the time and resources in doing so.
Portfolio Sense: Corellon senses anything that affects elven welfare nineteen weeks before it happens and retains the sensation for nineteen weeks after the event occurs. He is similarly aware whenever elves engage in arts or crafts, engage in magic use or make war.
Senses: Corellon can see (using normal vision or low-light vision), hear, touch, and smell at a distance of nineteen miles. As a standard action, he can perceive anything within nineteen miles of his worshippers, holy sites, objects, or any location where one of his titles or name was spoken in the last hour. He can extend his senses to up to twenty locations at once. He can block the sensing power of deities of divine rank 19 or lower at up to two remote locations at once for 19 hours.
Sahandrian: This perfectly balanced longsword appears as a simple shaft of blue gray metal with a plain unadorned cross-guard and hilt, a fitting weapon for the unpretentious Creator of the Elves. Forged from the heart of a star, this powerful artifact deals 10d10 points of divine damage per round to anyone with no save – aside from the Seldarine – that dares hold or wield it; this damage is doubled with respect to goblinoids or orcs.
Sahandrian is a +6 speed chaotic power holy power longsword save that it deals damage as a huge longsword with an initial critical multipler of 18–20, and strikes with such overwhelming speed that whomsoever wields it may make an additional two attacks within the same full round at the full attack bonus.
Sahandrian also strikes with such precision that it deals an additional 2 points of Dexterity damage per hit.
Amaith’hana: This plain but otherwise beautifully crafted longbow always has a pull equal to Corellon’s strength or dexterity bonus. Rumored to be forged from the same metal as Sahandrian, Amaith’hana is a +6 speed holy sonic blast mighty composite longbow whose arrows always deal double damage and ignore armor or natural bonuses to armor class; it may either ignore armor or natural bonuses to AC, it cannot ignore both. Amaith’hana always fires arrows from an extradimensional source of infinite supply. Amaith’hana launches arrows with such devastating speed that it may launch an additional two arrows within the same full round at the full attack bonus.
Also as promised is a Pathfinder(ized) version of a divine entity; to see how it interfaces with divine rules.
Please note, I'm still a little green when it comes to Pathfinder rules so there may be slight or "overwhelming" errors in the statblock.
Next up will be Tempus, as I see how well divine rules stack up against a deity of pure war. After that will be a god of thieves; I'm leaning towards Vhaerun for the time being.
In the meantime, hope you enjoy Pathfinder Corellon! :)

Combat
Bard Spells per Day: Corellon casts spells as a 90th level caster. 10/10/10/9/9/9/8/7/7. Save DC = 58 + spell level.
Crippling Critical (Ex): Whenever Corellon successfully confirms a critical hit with Sahandrian, he may apply one of the following penalties in addition to the damage dealt; reduce all of the target’s speeds by 10 feet, 1d4 points of Strength or Dexterity damage,
–4 penalty on all saving throws, –4 penalty to AC, or 2d6 points of bleeding damage. These penalties persist for 19 rounds.
Deadly Performance (Su): Corellon can use his bardic performance to cause an enemy to die from joy or sorrow. Enemies who fail a Will save DC 53 die. An enemy who successfully saves is stunned for 1d4 rounds and cannot be affected by Corellon’s deadly performance for 24 hours.
Dirge of Doom (Su): Corellon can use his bardic performance to foster a sense of growing dread in his enemies, causing them to take a number of penalties. The effect affects enemies able to hear Corellon perform and persists for 3 rounds after he has stopped playing. Affected enemies are shaken and take a –2 penalty on ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks.
Discordant Performance (Su): Corellon can use his bardic performance to confuse his enemies. To be affected, an enemy must be able to see Corellon perform. Each enemy within range must make a Will save DC 53 or become confused as long as Corellon keeps performing (up to a maximum of 69 rounds). Success means the enemy is immune to Corellon’s discordant performance for 24 hours.
Elf Traits: Corellon can see twice as far as humans in conditions of poor illumination. Corellon receives a +2 bonus on sight and sound-based Perception checks.
Corellon is immune to magic sleep effects and gets a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells or effects. This immunity is irrespective of his divinity and thus cannot be suppressed or overcome by rank checks to penetrate immunity.
Corellon receives a +2 racial bonus on caster level checks to overcome spell resistance. In addition, he receives a +2 racial bonus on Appraise skill checks made to identify the properties of magic items.
Epic Spells: 8 per day. Epic spells known: contingent resurrection, demise unseen, dreamscape, eclipse, epic counterspell, epic mage armor, epic repulsion, epic spell reflection, eternal freedom, greater epic mage armor, greater ruin, hellball, kinetic control, let go of me, nailed to the sky, origin of species: elves, peripety, rain of fire, spell worm, summon behemoth, superb dispelling, verdigris.
Frightening Tune (Sp): Corellon can use his bardic performance to induce fear in his enemies. Enemies who fail a Will save DC 53 become frightened for 69 rounds. Success means Corellon cannot affect the creature again for 24 hours.
Jack of All Trades (Ex): Corellon is a jack of all trades and can use any skill, even if he is untrained in that skill. All skills are considered class skills for him.
No Retreat (Ex): Any enemies adjacent to Corellon who take an action to withdraw provoke an attack of opportunity from Corellon.
Parry (Ex): Corellon is superlatively nimble and prenaturally quick on his feet. Corellon seems to possess a sixth sense when it comes to avoiding attacks and any attack he does not wish upon his person always misses. Whenever he takes a full attack action with Sahandrian, Corellon can elect not to take one of his attacks. At any time before his next turn he can attempt to parry any attack as an immediate action. To parry the attack, Corellon rolls to attack, using the same bonuses as the attack he chose to forego during the previous action. If the attack roll is greater than the roll of the attacking creature, the attack automatically misses.
Paralyzing Show (Sp): Corellon can use his bardic performance to paralyze his enemies. Enemies who fail a Will save DC 53 become paralyzed for 69 rounds. Enemies who successfully save cannot be affected by Corellon’s paralyzing show for 24 hours.
Precise Strike (Ex): Corellon is so in tune with his weapon that he may strike precisely, dealing potent damage. He adds his duelist level to his damage roll. Precise strike only works against living creatures with discernable anatomies. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to a precise strike, and any item or ability that protects a creature from critical hits also protects a creature from Corellon’s precise strike.
Riposte (Ex): Corellon can make an attack of opportunity against any creature whose attack he successfully parries, so long as the creature is within reach.
Soothing Performance (Sp): Corellon can use his bardic performance to create an effect equivalent to the mass cure light wounds spell (caster level 24th). In addition, Corellon’s soothing performance removes the fatigued, sickened, and shakened conditions from all those affected.
Spell-Like Abilities: At will –– aid, align weapon (as chaos or good spell only), antimagic field, aura of protection, battle smite, blade barrier, cat’s grace, chaos blade, chaos hammer, commune with nature, detect magic, disjunction, dispel evil, dispel law, dispelling touch, flame strike, greater dispel magic, hand of the acolyte, holy lance, liveoak, magic circle against evil, magic circle against law, magic mouth, magic weapon, mindblank, power word blind, power word kill, power word stun, prismatic sphere, protection from evil, protection from law, protection from spells, resistant touch, repulsion, sanctuary, shield other, spell immunity, spell resistance, spell turning, spiritual weapon, summon monster IX (as chaos or good spell only), sunburst, tree stride, true strike, touch of chaos, touch of good, weapon master, word of chaos. Caster level 88th. Save DCs = 58 + spell level.
Spell Critical (Su): Whenever Corellon successfully confirms a critical hit, he can cast a spell as a swift action. The spell must include the target of the attack as one of its targets or in its area of effect. Casting this spell does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
Well-Versed (Ex): Corellon is resistant to the bardic performances of others. He gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against bardic performances, sonic and language dependent effects.
Wizard Spells per Day (Levels 0 – 18): Corellon casts spells as an 90th level caster. 4/9/9/8/8/8/8/7/7/7/4/3/3/3/3/2/2/2/2. Save DC = 57 + spell level.
Coronal of Magic (unique salient divine ability): Corellon is the Coronal of Magic; few approach his arcane puissance or his command over elven high magic.
Corellon is naturally attuned to spells and epic spells that are of elven origin. He instantly understands the intricacies of elven magic and is able to channel the power of the spells for himself; this mastery extends even to epic spells, especially mythals, of which he is intimately familiar. This ability functions similarly to the Spell Stowaway epic feat, save the spell in question need not be one that Corellon himself can cast.
Corellon may, as an immediate action, co-opt a protective mythal, harness any powers of existing mythals, whether intact or flayed, or repair corrupt mythals.
Furthermore, Corellon may apply the totality of his hit dice when calculating his arcane spellcasting level.
Coronal of War (unique salient divine ability): Corellon is the embodiment of the graceful elven fighter, harmoniously combining elegance and skill into virtually unsurpassed prowess. This is expressed in several ways.
Firstly, Corellon can apply his Dexterity bonus to attacks he makes with any longsword that he can wield in one hand. Further, all damage made by his weapons apply his Dexterity bonus rather than his Strength bonus. Finally, Corellon receives Greater Weapon Focus and Epic Weapon Focus for all martial weapons as bonus feats. Corellon always draws weapons as free actions.
Since I'm unable to edit the above post, the following changes should be made to Corellon's attack options and spell-like abilities. They are as follows:
Corellon Larethian
[...]
Attack:[...] or spell +93 melee touch or +101 ranged touch
Spell-Like Abilities: At will –– aid, animate objects, antimagic field, antipathy, aura of protection, battle smite, blade barrier, cat’s grace, chaos hammer, cloak of chaos, commune with nature, detect magic, disjunction, dispel evil, dispel law, dispelling touch, divine power, find the path, flame strike, greater dispel magic, hand of the acolyte, holy aura, holy smite, holy word, imbue with spell ability, identify, liveoak, magic circle against evil, magic circle against law, magic mouth, magic weapon, magic vestment, mind blank, nystul’s magic aura, power word blind, power word kill, power word stun, prismatic sphere, protection from energy, protection from evil, protection from law, protection from spells, resistant touch, repulsion, sanctuary, shatter, shield other, snare, spell immunity, spell resistance, spell turning, spiritual weapon, summon monster IX (as chaos or good spell only), sunburst, touch of chaos, touch of good, tree stride, true strike, weapon master, word of chaos. Caster level 90th. Save DC = 58 + spell level.
Okay, here's Tempus, and he is an absolute beast! :) Observant readers may notice that despite his melee attacks being somewhat within the vicinity of Corellon's, they are melee touch attacks rather than being mere melee attacks.

Combat
Tempus is a deity of contrasts, on the one hand, his chaotic aspect, his representation of conflict and the true nature of war ensures that he favors all armies equally and without bias. His powerful exuberance and strong vitality ensures his veneration by all warriors, regardless of alignment. Yet Tempus has never been known to speak, even his telepathic messages convey a deep, hollow sonorous quality.
Although Tempus is virtually the absolute personification of war, he is profoundly honorable and punishes those who conduct themselves dishonorably, those who show the cowards spine by slinking away quietly in the midst of battle with tails tucked firmly between their legs, or those who abuse the innocent or noncombatants as valor blazes in all regardless of gender, age or race. He also severely punishes those who abuse the deity of peace’s priests, temples or shrines, ultimately aware that war has little meaning without peace to define and highlight it.
Tempus intrinsically understands that war is not a purely destructive or malicious force but one that is necessary, one that is vital for the continuation of the world and the cosmology. As such, Tempus will always fight to the best of his ability and with utmost honor and valor. Although powerful, he is neither stupid nor naïve and will spend at least three rounds observing enemies to pinpoint weaknesses or highlight tactical deficits.
Against reasonably weak enemies, Tempus does not usually bother with his spell-like abilities, finding their use in such a scenario to be dishonorable and discourteous. He wades into battle wrapped in his protective ward and Divine Aura set to resolve.
Tempus will begin his offensive by disarming or sundering the weapons of his opponents, and those whose weapons he has sundered and shattered who show exceptional bravery and courage or honor, he will usually allow to go. Foolish are those who refuse this rare kindness.
Against opponents whom he deems antagonists or enemies, Tempus is truly a terrible foe.
Against these opponents, he will warp reality to change his size to at least Huge, benefiting from an increased Strength bonus of +16. He will further enhance this bonus through his Strength domain power, adding an additional +60 to his Strength. Further, he will then become Unstoppable and smite foes. Finally, he will activate his Annihilating Strike salient divine ability. Although he still rarely bothers with his spell-like abilities, as he believes (accurately) that few can withstand his physical power in melee combat.
Against such an infinitely unstoppable attack, opponents usually become a red smear upon the bedrock, their original forms unrecognizable if they are particularly lucky as most are obliterated by his sheer power.
Against persistent or extremely resistant and well warded foes, Tempus launches the same offensive preceded by a Dire Charge. More often than not, this offensive usually ends the combat rather quickly, freeing Tempus to attend to more important matters.
If opponents, through a twist of fate remain standing, Tempus fires salvos of his Divine Blast.
Tempus is not purely an offensive combatant. As the embodiment of war, Tempus, while valorous and courageous, enjoys war for the sake of war. He also fights defensively, especially where deities or cosmic entities of similar rank or footing are concerned. Tempus makes extensive use of his combat feats within melee, shifting through options presented by Improved Combat Expertise and Power Attack. He then becomes Unmovable and makes extensive use of the Improved Trip feat, and when surrounded by more than three opponents will usually become Large to deliver Awesome Blows upon them.
For foes that are neither falling to his Awesome Blow or conventional melee attacks, Tempus will usually surround himself in a blade barrier, cast divine power, and deliver Annihilating Strikes. He will then wrap himself in his Divine Shield, and Mass Divine Blast.
Alter Reality (Su): Tempus exerts a considerable measure of control over reality itself, and his very presence can command the very essence of the world around him.
Tempus can use the wish spell and duplicate practically any spell effect as long as the effect promotes battle, conflict, valor or war. This ability costs him no XP and requires a standard action to implement.
He may cast any cure spell at will as a standard action. Applying metamagic feats to the spells requires him to forego using alter reality for 1 round for each level the feat would normally add to the equivalent spell.
As a swift action, Tempus can assume any size from Fine to Colossal. This ability allows Tempus to assume any proportions from the size of a grain of sand up to as much as 1,600 feet tall. Finally, Tempus may create up to twenty avatars.
Domain Powers: Tempus radiates an aura of courage that grants all allies within 170 feet (including himself) a +17 morale bonus on saving throws against fear effects. This ability functions only while Tempus is conscious; Tempus may smite as the supernatural ability 17/day, Tempus benefits from a +17 bonus to attacks and increases his damage output by 60 points; 17/day as an immediate action, Tempus can generate a protective ward that confers a +60 resistance bonus to his next saving throw for 60 rounds; 17/day as a free action, Tempus can perform a feat of strength that adds a +60 enhancement bonus to his Strength for 60 rounds; Tempus gains Weapon Focus (all) as bonus feats
Impervious (unique salient divine ability): An intangible and unyielding aura wraps around Tempus of such potency that most weapons cannot harm him at all. Indeed, many have wondered how Tempus’ armor came to be pitted and scarred or how his bare arms came to be crisscrossed with bleeding wounds, as few have managed to strike even a glancing blow against him.
Tempus benefits from an enhanced damage reduction variable of 25, resulting in a modified damage reduction of 70/epic and mithral.
Even against weapons capable of penetrating his increased damage reduction, Tempus retains considerable defensive measures. For weapons that manage to overcome this salient divine ability, Tempus still benefits from a damage reduction of 29/–.
Lord of Battle (unique salient divine ability): Tempus is the absolute master of all forms of combat. His innate familiarity with every and all weapons is to a degree of such potent exclusivity that he receives the Epic Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Focus and Weapon Focus feats for all weapon groups and weapon types as virtual feats.
Any in combat with Tempus who manage to wound the god suffer the effects of his smoking, burning blood. When wounded by a piercing or slashing attack, Tempus’ blood sprays outward in a 17 foot radius, dealing 10d6 points of damage; half of which is acid damage and half resulting directly from divine power and therefore unable to be resisted, there is no saving throw to avoid the effect. Any who manage to ingest even a drop of the blood benefits from a +4 Strength bonus for 2d10 rounds.
Tempus has 98 chromosomes and they're all poisonous.
The Foehammer (unique salient divine ability): Tempus represents the unforgiving and indiscriminative nature of war. War oppresses and aids all equally, such that an exceptional mortal warrior may be slain in conflict or a lowly peasant becoming a great leader among his or her companions. Tempus is the Foehammer, the great leveler of rank and station. War does not care whether the soldier is a peasant or a member of royalty and so Tempus does not discriminate. All weapons wielded by Tempus function with the bane special weapon enchantment. Unlike conventional bane enhancements, this property works against all beings and has been factored into the mechanics above.
Unconquerable (unique salient divine ability): Tempus stands as a bastion of the invincibility and inviolability of war and is untouchable in his perfection. He is the unstoppable force and he is the immovable object. Tempus’ damage reduction has been further modified such that weapons shatter when striking him or fail to harm him at all.
His damage reduction changes to 70/– and any weapon that successfully overcomes his armor class must also make a Fort save DC 57 or be shattered into pieces; artifacts and the personal weapons of cosmic entities and deities are immune to the shattering effect. In effect, no weapon can ever overcome Tempus’ damage reduction whatsoever.
Spell-Like Abilities: At will –– aid, antimagic field, blade barrier, bull’s strength, clenched fist, cloak of bravery, crushing hand, disintegrate, earthquake, enlarge person, divine power, flame strike, greater cloak of bravery, grasping hand, greater heroism, harm, heroes’ feast, heroism, implosion, inflict critical wounds, inflict light wounds, lion’s roar, magic vestment, magic weapon, mass inflict light wounds, mind blank, power word blind, power word kill, power word stun, protection from energy, prismatic sphere, remove fear, repulsion, righteous might, sanctuary, shatter, shield other, spell immunity, spell resistance, spiritual weapon, stoneskin, valiant fury. Caster level 80th. Save DCs = 50 + spell level.
Other Divine Powers
As a greater deity, Tempus automatically receives the best possible result on any die roll he makes (including attack rolls, damage, checks and saves). He is immortal.
Automatic Actions: Tempus can use any Strength-based skill, any Constitution-based skill, any skill that deals with war, valor or the conflict of battle, even those he has no ranks in, as an immediate action if the DC for the task is 30 or lower; he can use Craft (armorsmithing), Craft (weaponsmithing), or Intimidate as a swift action if the DC for the task is DC 47 or less. Tempus can perform up to twenty swift actions each round.
Create Magic Items: Tempus can create any kind of magic item that deals damage or provides protection, incites conflict in pursuit of war, or promotes battles.
Portfolio Sense: Tempus senses any battle and war seventeen weeks before it happens and retains the sensation for seventeen weeks after the event occurs. He has a similar ability to become aware of any act of violence in pursuit of war and the death of any warrior, whether such passings occur in combat or not. He likewise senses any valor in war or any act of bravery in battle.
Senses: Tempus can see, hear, touch, and smell at a distance of seventeen miles. As a standard action, he can perceive anything within seventeen miles of his worshippers, holy sites, objects, or any location where one of his titles or name was spoken in the last hour. He can extend his senses to up to twenty locations at once. He can block the sensing power of deities of divine rank 17 or lower at up to two remote locations at once for 17 hours.
Battle Prowess: Rumored to be forged from all weapons taken from all battlefields out of adamantine, darkwood, mithral, silver and cold iron, Battle Prowess penetrates damage reduction as if it were any of those types of material. Battle Prowess is a +6 weapon with an initial critical multiplier of 18–20/x3 and the ability to morph into any desired weapon as a swift action, although it usually takes the form of a greatsword. Battle Prowess always appears blackened and battle worn in Tempus’ hands and strikes as a colossal variant of the chosen weapon, always dealing triple base damage. It is able to be wielded one-handed and still deal 1-1/2 Strength damage. It also possesses the ability to strike spectral and incorporeal beings as if they were solid and possesses the speed, returning and wounding special abilities.
When not in use, Battle Prowess automatically shifts to an invisible, extradimensional storage space and is always quick drawn in combat as a free action.
Tempus also wears +6 full plate of moderate fortification that imposes no maximum Dex bonus, no arcane spell failure chance and no armor check penalty.
Doing a great job Ash! I was wondering what your thoughts were regarding the deities being 20 HD outsiders. I noticed you changed that and was just curious to know why.
Doing a great job Ash! I was wondering what your thoughts were regarding the deities being 20 HD outsiders. I noticed you changed that and was just curious to know why.
Thank you kindly, sir! :)
That is a good question...well, I'm of the opinion that cosmic entities (a la Lords of the Nine, Demon Princes et al) of equivalent power to deities should possess HD whereas those arising from divinity don't need them.
This is also to represent the cosmic entities' personification of both the alignment ideal and "a fixed" portfolio and the deities' versatility of power, "fluidiness" of aligment and broader representation of portfolio.
For example, Bel would likely have access to both the Evil and Law domains as a Lord of the Nine, while Tempus being N(CN) need not have access to the Chaos domain or spells.
Okay, so....I couldn't exactly find much on Maglubiyet...but that didn't deter me from building him. Hope you like my interpretation of Maglubiyet!
Up next is hopefully Vecna.

Combat
Maglubiyet is a conniving and domineering deity. He is treacherous and oppressive, and eternally urges goblinkin on to conflict and strife, and the glory of war; he wishes to see his people destroy surface races, but for reasons of carnage and exultation in war rather than for territory. He is also paranoid, vigorously and eternally watching the rest of his pantheon for any signs of treachery or hints of betrayal.
As befits his personality, Maglubiyet, while a powerful warrior, is deceitful and perfidious in combat while remaining extremely dangerous.
He usually opens a combat surrounded by his Divine Aura set to fright and wrapped in his Divine Shield, followed by immediate castings of blacklight and darkness. He then Calls goblinoids to harass and surround his foes, all the while benefiting from the flanking options presented by these servants. If he is interested in more slaves, he will usually call on his divinity as the High Chieftain and make thralls out of his opponents. This will usually end the combat.
If members of races of opposing pantheons and foes are present, he will opt to take advantage of flanking tactics and make sneak attacks and Wound the Enemy. In this scenario, Maglubiyet will be committed to offense and so will not think twice about using his spells or spell-like abilities. He will then proceed to detonate fireballs upon his enemies followed by castings of spell-like abilities from the Cavern and Darkness domains, wrapped up with harm and implosions.
If opponents are still standing, he will then enter a time stop, and make combat attacks against his foes by triggering his Power Attack preceded by a bull’s strength. In the same time stop, he will also cast darkness or blacklight again followed by mass inflict light wounds.
He will then make another full attack coming out of the time stop with sneak attacks where able and smite foes. Maglubiyet will also attempt to selectively Hide within combat so as to further ensure that his sneak attacks are successful.
For particularly powerful opponents, Maglubiyet will more often than not begin combat with a Dire Charge, after which he will fill the area with what would otherwise amount to as distractions, goblinoids. Opponents usually expire after this initial powerful Dire Charge, but if they remain standing they become hampered and bogged down by his called servants, freeing Maglubiyet to commit further pernicious acts against his enemies. Maglubiyet will then warp reality to become Huge, invoke bull’s strength and wait the combat out with his Improved Combat Expertise and opportunistically make sneak attacks. He will then turn invisible while inducing confusion on his enemies and invoking an obscuring mist. He will then cast more of his preferred spells preceded by another smiting full attack delivering Awesome Blows. Afterwards, he will then unleash salvos of his Divine Blast.
Alter Reality (Su): Maglubiyet exerts a considerable measure of control over reality itself, and his very presence can command the very essence of the world around him.
Maglubiyet can use the wish spell and duplicate practically any spell effect as long as the effect promotes war, rulership, conflict, carnage, strife or hobgoblins or goblins. This ability costs him no XP and requires a standard action to implement.
He may cast any cure spell at will as a standard action. Applying metamagic feats to the spells requires him to forego using alter reality for 1 round for each level the feat would normally add to the equivalent spell.
As a swift action, Maglubiyet can assume any size from Fine to Colossal. This ability allows Maglubiyet to assume any proportions from the size of a grain of sand up to as much as 1,600 feet tall. Finally, Maglubiyet may create up to twenty avatars.
Domain Powers: Maglubiyet gains the stonecunning ability; Maglubiyet gains Blind-Fight and Spell Focus (enchantment) as bonus feats; Maglubiyet may smite as the supernatural ability 16/day, Maglubiyet benefits from a +16 bonus to attacks and increases his damage output by 65 points; Maglubiyet casts evil spells at +1 caster level; Maglubiyet adds Bluff, Disguise and Hide to his list of class skills; Maglubiyet gains Weapon Focus (battleaxe) as a bonus feat.
Lord of Depths and Darkness (unique salient divine ability): Maglubiyet personifies the goblinoid affinity with underground environments. He is the overlord of the snaking cavern corridors and he is the sovereign of the twisting underground caves. This mastery grants him great strength.
Firstly, Maglubiyet benefits from an improved stonecunning ability; his stonecunning is increased from a bonus of +2 to a +4 bonus on checks to notice unusual stonework. His darkvision is likewise enhanced, extending out to 120 feet, and he functions with a +8 racial bonus to Move Silently checks. All sneak attacks made by him inflict an additional +2d6 points of sneak attack damage; this has been factored into the statblock above.
His powers are further boosted by his affinity with depths and darkness. Maglubiyet may select any spell from either the Cavern or Darkness domains and cast them as quickened spontaneous domain spell-like abilities as per the Quicken Spell-Like Ability feat; for example, Maglubiyet may either elect to spontaneously cast a quickened darkness 3/day or change it into an inflict spell. Maglubiyet may also spontaneously alter the spell-like ability he casts, for example, he may spontaneously change a casting of obscuring mist into a passwall spell-like ability.
Repeated castings of spell-like abilities from the same Domain may stack, although this is at the DM’s discretion; for example, blacklight stacking with darkness.
Finally, Maglubiyet is able to see perfectly in darkness of any kind, even that created by a deeper darkness spell.
Sorcerer Spells per Day: Maglubiyet casts spells as a 31st level caster and as a 32nd level caster for evil spells. 6/9/9/9/8/8/8/6. 0 – acid splash, daze, flare, no light, resistance, touch of fatigue; 1st – alarm, burning hands (x3), ray of enfeeblement, shield, true strike (x3); 2nd – bear’s endurance, bull’s strength (x2), fox’s cunning, sap strength, spectral hand, touch of idiocy, wall of gloom, wither limb; 3rd – dispel magic, fireball (x3), haste (x3), ray of exhaustion, slow; 4th – crushing despair, damning darkness, dimensional anchor, enervation, grim revenge, psychic poison, stoneskin, wrack; 5th – dismissal, feeblemind, freezing fog, greater fireburst, quickened true strike, resonating resistance, stop heart, telekinesis; 6th – antimagic field, chain lightning, fiendish quickening, greater dispel magic (x3), repulsion, true seeing; 7th – banishment, delayed blast fireball, greater shadow conjuration (x2), reverse gravity, waves of exhaustion. Save DC = 37 + spell level.
Spell-Like Abilities: At will –– armor of darkness, blacklight, blade barrier, blasphemy, blindness/deafness, darkbolt, darkness, desecrate, detect secret doors, disguise self, disintegrate, dispel good, divine power, dominate person, command, confusion, contagion, create undead, earthquake, enthrall, false vision, find the path, flame strike, geas/quest, greater command, harm, implosion, imprisonment, inflict critical wounds, inflict light wounds, invisibility, magic circle against good, magic vestment, magic weapon, mass inflict light wounds, mass suggestion, maw of stone, meld into stone, mislead, monstrous thrall, nightmare, nondetection, obscuring mist, polymorph any object, power word blind, power word kill, power word stun, protection from good, prying eyes, screen, secure shelter, shatter, spiritual weapon, suggestion, summon monster IX (as evil spell only), passwall, time stop, true domination, unholy aura, unholy blight. Caster level 81st, caster level 82nd for evil spells. Save DCs = 47 + spell level.
The High Chieftain (unique salient divine ability): Maglubiyet is the High Chieftain of the goblinkin. He is their king and he is their oppressor. This supreme authority resolves in several ways.
First, Maglubiyet may channel his authority and supreme clout into an ability similar to the powers of a rod of epic rulership, save that it affects creature totaling 1,600 Hit Dice and only creatures with an Intelligence score of 20 or higher are entitled to a Will saving throw DC 47 to negate the effect. The ability has no limit on how long it can be used, although creatures with divine (even divine rank 0) or cosmic rank are immune; beings who successfully save against the Will DC cannot be affected by this ability for 24 hours.
Beings struck while this ability is active must save against a Will save DC 47 or be affected as though by dominate monster.
As the supreme head of the goblinkin pantheon, Maglubiyet also possesses epic combat prowess. In addition to feats granted by his divinity and Hit Dice, Maglubiyet gains a selection of bonus fighter feats equivalent to his martial class; in this case, he gains an additional eleven feats as virtual feats.
Other Divine Powers
As a greater deity, Maglubiyet automatically receives the best possible result on any die roll he makes (including attack rolls, damage, checks and saves). He is immortal.
Automatic Actions: Maglubiyet can use any Strength-based skill, any Dexterity-based skill, any Charisma-based skill, or any skill that deals with war, rulership, carnage, strife or conflict, even those he has no ranks in, as an immediate action if the DC for the task is 30 or lower. Maglubiyet can perform up to twenty swift actions each round.
Create Magic Items: Maglubiyet can create any kind of magic item that is intended for use of rulership, deals damage, incites carnage and strife, or promotes war or conflict.
Portfolio Sense: Maglubiyet senses anything that affects hobgoblin or goblin welfare sixteen weeks before it happens and retains the sensation for sixteen weeks after the event occurs. He has a similar ability to become aware of any act of war, conflict, strife or carnage where hobgoblins or goblins are represented. He is similarly aware of any act of authoritarian or dictatorial rulership by hobgoblins or goblins.
Senses: Maglubiyet can see, hear, touch, and smell at a distance of sixteen miles. As a standard action, he can perceive anything within sixteen miles of his worshippers, holy sites, objects, or any location where one of his titles or name was spoken in the last hour. He can extend his senses to up to twenty locations at once. He can block the sensing power of deities of divine rank 16 or lower at up to two remote locations at once for 16 hours.
Maglubiyet: Maglubiyet is an extremely narcissistic being; this is no better exemplified than by his naming of his deific weapon after himself. He is likewise possessive and paranoid, such that this weapon is always present in Maglubiyet’s hands and is never stowed away. This ensilvered +6 poisonous returning unholy power wounding battleaxe appears as a huge, bloodied black axe constantly dripping a virulent poison, and always strikes as a Huge weapon.
Any struck by the weapon in combat must make a Fort save DC 49 or become cursed with permanent blindness. Even success means that the target is blinded for 2d4 rounds; deities and cosmic entities are immune to the blindness effect.
Maglubiyet bestows upon the wielder the ability to carry out melee attacks while casting spells. Any who are not Maglubiyet who dares wield the weapon is the subject of an enhanced crushing despair effect and is wounded as if the weapon made a full attack upon itself.
