I was just thinking of something. If a normal mortal gathers together some people who follow the person, will that person become a god due to the fact that a deity's power is based on how many followers the person has?

You can also just ask the deity for his godhood, like Bhaal, Bane and Myrkul did... (but i think it's quite rare )



No Zemd, not yet things have been on hold for awile RL getting in the way of fun, you know how it is....

Drummerboy:
I believe you need a divine sponsor for ascension in most cases (Faiths and Pantheons has a whole section on it).




Thanks, Artalis. I'll take a look at that section in Faiths and Pantheons.

If the person seeking Godhood claimed a previously unclaimed portfolio, they would have a better chance, I imagine.

Thanks for you answers, everyone.

I think that the key to ascension is worshipers. Many mortals have followers. That does not make them god material. Though I agree that Ao would have the final say but if enough mortals worshiped another then that would do it.
Arion Elenim Posted - 04 Feb 2003 : 02:08:03
Indeed, Ao's approval is the only thing that can make anyone a god....however, it would seem that he/she/it would most definitely take notice if enough people worshipped the mortal fervently enough...
Cherrn Posted - 04 Feb 2003 : 01:57:35
I dont think so. The mortal lacks the last thing in it: AO's aggreement in it all.
