I'll tag along with whomever, just assign me to someone.

DotD, you mean Tymora?

My character would be atheist...perhaps eventually worshipping Shar if he becomes evil.

PhoenixFlame · 10-19-2004, 05:41 AM

RD kinda said she wasn't allowing any more characters...

Anyways, Dang! That'll be a lot of Atheists. I really can't see how you could be an Atheist in a world where clerics go around raising the dead, and gods have about as active of a role as they did in the greek pantheon.

But anyways, plenty of people to convert, whee. :p

Hmm... my character doesn't follow any one god, but has worked in the service of a number of the gods in the service of Good as a whole. If any, though, he has a preference for Mystra.

Mystra? You're my new best friend...

Kazastankas · 10-19-2004, 06:51 AM

Kurndar may fit anywhere in the town, almost. He is able to succumb to his dwarvish heritage and do the ol' bar thing, or go with his Paladin duty and basically wander while dispensing of criminals..

..but given that most towns have militia, he'd likely go with the first one, with a general overtone of wandering around.

And it is possible for LEG to come into the campaign attached to Kurndar, for he has a heart for strays (though strays he thinks are children, and those that, uhm, can kick his ass), despite the 'elf' thing.

What can I say? I love magic!

Atheism is risky business in the Realms...the Faithless are used as bricks in the wall around the City of Judgement in the afterlife, held in place by a disgusting mold that eventually devours even the consciousness.

Chauntea is the Harvest Goddess, a Demeter type
Azuth is The Magic God That Isn't Mystra
Cyric is the insane Prince of Lies
Gond is beloved of inventors, innovators, and pesky gnomes
Helm is the Protector, ever vigilant
Lathander is Hope and Renewal and Such
Loviatar leads to...*Yoda voice* Suffering
Mask is the Sneaky Thief God
Mystra....well, I'll let DB recite his litany of praise
Oghma is all about the knowledge
Shar is mistress of the Shadow Weave, aka Nega-Mystra
Sune is the Resident Aphrodite
Tempus is The Mighty Battle God!
Torm is Paladin Personified
Tymora favors adventurers with her Luck
Tyr brings Justice, plain and simple

For a more detailed (and possibly slightly less tongue-in-cheek) description of these, or other, deities, ask away.

Dragonsbane · 10-19-2004, 11:33 AM

Technically, Azuth is the God of Wizards. If Mystra governs magic, then he rules over those who wield arcane magic.

Ask me any questions you have about the deities of Forgotten Realms, and I shall answer.

Yes, I know that thing about the mold and the wall...at least, that's how things were during Myrkul's tenure as God of Death. My character, on the other hand, just hasn't picked a god yet.

Torm is technically God of Loyalty/Duty.

Tyr is God of Justice....NOT Fairness (there's a difference!)

*finishes making petty distinctions that you already knew about*

Still, you forgot Kelemvor!:p

[edit] with base Intelligence of 14, and a level of Monk and Fighter, how many skill points would I have?

reality_deviant · 10-19-2004, 11:42 AM

*rolls eyes*
Okay, let me explain something to you folks, who, unlike DB and myself, have not wasted your precious brainspace with imaginary deity information. There are gods for frickin' everything in FR...That was the summarized version.

DB, the wall is still there. Kelemvor lets it stay.
*to the audience* He's the god that judges the dead, and Mystra's old boyfriend when they were both mortals! Neat, huh?
*back to DB*
And Torm is primarily worshipped by whom? He wields what type of weapon? Answer: Paladins, Holy Avenger.
Ergo, he's Paladin-Guy. Probably has the gleaming teeth and butt-chin thing kickin', too...
