  We’ve been playing in my current campaign for about 6 years and in the past year we’ve all ascended to Godhood. I thought that would be the end of it but my boss ass DM kept it going with a cosmic war of the Gods where existence itself is on the line. Our party of 4 has split into two and we’re on opposite sides. After 6 years in real life, the end of the campaign is near. It’s going to end with a fight between the 4 PCs, who spent over 100 years fighting together as mortals. I’m so excited for it, also a little sad it’s finally coming to an end.

  Actually, D&amp;D released a book in the past that specifically laid out how to become a Demigod, but the process was so difficult, it was essentially impossible to do without the DM just handing you the achievement. The steps involved 1 - Being twice the max level recommended for the campaign. 2 - Convincing an already existing deity to sponsor you. 3 - Getting no less than 5 people to devoutly worship you as a divine being. And 4 - performing a feat worthy of godhood. If you successfully managed to achieve all of this, there would be a small chance that your patron would summon you to the higher / lower planes and make you an immortal servant of theirs. Then after an undefined period of servitude, you get promoted to Demigod!

  &quot;Using Athena&apos;s shield, Hermes&apos; winged sandals and Hades&apos; helmet of invisibility, Perseus was able to evade Medusa&apos;s gaze and decapitate her.&quot;<br><br>Wikipedia&apos;s Perseus article describing epic level playstyle.

  In my last 2nd edition campaign, one of my players convinced a small group of goblins that he was their god (thanks to a nat 1 on his part and a nat 20 on my part, remember 2nd edition ability mechanics) and then watched them and protected them. The thing about goblins, they spring up like mad. Take a group of 12 and in a year they&apos;re around 200. So the universe started looking at this guy being literally worshipped by an ever growing tribe of goblins and started giving him power.

  I once saw a player try to convince a smurf-like civilization that he was a god... using minor illusion.

  Keep seeing all of these D&amp;D guys talking about Dragonlance in their interviews. Wish they would go ahead and put out some official Dragonlance 5e material.
