Love this one. Couple of questions:
1. Can you select the "immortal" mystery with the divine portfolio trait?
2. Can one of the 4 godling classes take the "great hero" archetype?

Love this one.
Glad you're enjoying it!
Couple of questions:
1. Can you select the "immortal" mystery with the divine portfolio trait?
RAW? Absolutely. Looking at it I don't even see any real problem doing so. It does mean you could use a divine trait to gain an ascendancy, but I don't have an issue with that trade-off.
2. Can one of the 4 godling classes take the "great hero" archetype?
With just the rules in Godling Ascendant? No. However if a godling character gives up their base archetype using the rules from the various Genius archetype books, sure. The result is a little funky. For example, a mighty godling that gives up Like my Father for Great Hero gives up his lineage domain and scion talents, but gains back three of them, unstoppable, and another round of divine trait ranks. Doubling up on divine trait ranks is a bit iffy balance wise, but for most combinations it'll work out.
I'll confess I didn't consider it, and I recommend GMs look at any proposed godling/great hero build carefully.

Cool, thanks!
Some questions...
1) Why has the Immortal Mystery just 7 revelations and no final revelation?
2) If a Godling (PrC) chooses the Mystic Inheritance trait, which has not a 4th degree, what can he choose at 10th level? 3rd level degree with another bloodline power, or what?
2) Spark of says that you treat your "class" level as your godling level. What if my character is multiclass? Does he use his character level or his level in one class? There are level limits, like with Powerful Lineage?

I am playing an Eldritch Godling with an arcane spell list. I want to take Special Knacks to gain clerical abilities but I'm not sure which ones I can take from the description.
