However, Greater Deities always recieve the best possible result, so, shouldn`t their AC be calculated like 20+Dex+...etc? I think it is possible to accept this, is it not? But again, this wil give all Greater Deities a free +10 bonus to AC... Any opinions?

It hardly adds another CR for them anyways

Just doing that makes them a couple of orders of magnitude more powerful than the ones WotC has created. At that point you can pretty much drop the Auto 20 rule and they wont really suffer any ill effects from it.

If youre using the defense roll variant, the greater dieties will benefit from their maximized roll. If youre not using the variant, just leave it at base 10.

His attack automatically does enough damage to reduce you to -10 hit points and all attempts to return you to life automatically fail; exception being those attempts of the deity that killed you. The deity can return you to life against your will and do with you as it pleases. After all, you truly thought you could kill a deity, your soul is, rightfully, forfeit. :cool:
