I've seen a few posts of late where characters become gods... I realize that there are no rules for this, so how have those who have received deification achieved this? Some homebrew system? Or is this just a GM stating that the character is now a god?
Not looking to get deified, just curious... seems like you would need a system where you could not only grant powers and spells, but also a system to interact with the sheep... perhaps even gain power through their worship?
There is the mythic power Divine Source that allows you to grant divine spells to followers of your cause.
There was a generic supplement put out by Wizards of the Coast called Primal Order that had a system for deities. This was a long time ago before they acquired the rights to D&D. It was not game specific and could work with any game system. They had rules for adapting it to most of the game systems that were out at the time.
I have written up a few demi-gods by combining the gestalt rules with mythic. Basically take a 20th level gestalt character and add 10 mythic tiers. All of them take longevity, beyond morality, and divine source as path abilities. Since they have longevity, I also give them the age adjustment for venerable age.

As far as actually becoming a deity, that's a GM decision. There is one high-level PFS adventure that includes a chance of your character becoming a spell-granting, worshiped demigod (or dead).
For something half a decade old but still

10-09 The Rasping Rebirth
|
As far as I’ve read for world building, PF1 authors looked to deities as plot devices rather than statted beings. If your power levels are high enough, theirs are just automatically higher. But that was for RP purposes for 1-20 settings.
What I want to know is if there is any GM guides or personal experiences having a lvl 18-20 party act as minor deities in a world full of 1-2 commoners.
