I'm not sure if "god" is a race but wasn't sure where to put this. Anyway the question is whether there is a guidline about what stats should be for gods. According to the web enhancement for deities and demigods even a lvl 1 rogue of divine rank 0 has very good stats. His lowest is 24 and highest 40with no items to boost them and they seem to increase at a rate of +1 ability score per divine rank. Is there anything out there that would help me with creating/stating gods?

What sort of cr guideline do you have in mind?

No experience here (since I just play them as faceless, statless entites whom the PCs should never dream of even touching), but dicefreaks (http://projectdf.phpbbnow.com/) should have some good material.

Not really sure lol. Was hoping for maybe like minimum starting starts for a god. Or what + you get to stats when you become a god. Sort of like a god template or something. Cause they cover all the stuff you get from divine ranks and such but nothing is mentioned about how they get such good stats.

You usually just conjure those stats out of thin air.:P

Deities starts with scores of 35, 28, 25, 24, 24, 24. In addition to racial modifiers and ability score increases every four levels, gods receive a number of ability score increases equal to their divine rank. There's FAQ for Deities and Demigods on the website that goes over this in a little more detail.
On a side note, deific ability scores are equivalent to a 415 point buy. Impressive, no?

EDIT: This should probably go in Deities and the Planes.
