[Spoilers] On how to become a god (only residents of Numeria need apply)

[Skaeren]

Hello there, welcome to "how to become a god"
Are you tired of your life as an adventurer? Taken one too many arrows to the knee? Do you think you could be a better god than those already present? Have you ever wanted to fight Asmodeus on equal footing? Well have I got a deal for you!

For the low, low cost of being a 20th level psychic and not selecting your 19th level phrenic amplification, you, too, can become a god! Note: it may constitute an evil act, it might not. It depends on if depriving an AI of godhood is evil.

First off, do not confront the 'final boss' in Iron Gods.
Secondly, when you hit level 19, do not select your phrenic amplification.

Now, you are 20th level, and have not yet dealt with the divinity drive. Find yourself a robot. Any robot (so long as it has 10HD or more). It does not matter which. Spend your 19th level phrenic amplification and select Psi-Tech discovery Artificial Ascension. Now, using your new ability and your robot, transfer your consciousness into that robot.

Now go defeat the final boss. Once he is out of the divinity drive you can upload your consciousness into it. The same way you would do it with a certain character from the adventure path. Now launch the shuttle. Congratulations. You are a god. Enjoy your new found godhood.

You know, one could write an article entitled Wizards: How to Play God. But for Psychics, it would be How To Be A God.

You can't upload your consciousness to the Divinity Drive, that ability locks you into a robot body, and the DD isn't a 10 HD robot. Ordinary AIs have more freedom on that front.

That said, I'm not sure Unity planned to inhabit the DD rather than detonate it.

Anyway, being a 20th Psychic in a top shelf robot body gives you a demigod level CR on its own. I'd settle for that.

If you dither long enough to make it to L19 instead of confronting the boss at L17, there's a chance the shuttle left without you...

You actually have to make it to 20 to take the ability, the issue is you don't actually get a feat or phrenic amplification at level 20 so you'd have to retrain. Leaving you level 19 open isn't really an option under the rules.

Skyrim brought this saying back. But it originally was a way of Saying I got Married. To take an arrow to the Knee means to get down and propose. Thus giving up the Adventuring Lifestyle usually.
