[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8507039, member: 50987"] Hello everyone, it's time for another Survivor thread! As you already know, I'll be taking over the Survivor 5E Threads for a little while...so if you have any suggestions for upcoming topics, feel free to DM me. ----- This thread is inspired by prior threads that we've done. The battle continues! Which battle? The... [B][SIZE=7]Battle of the Gods, Part II![/SIZE][/B] Appendix B of the 5th Edition Player's Handbook has several tables dedicated to the Deities of the D&D game. There's a table for Greyhawk gods, and another table for Eberron, and for the Forgotten Realms, and so on. But which one is The Survivor?! Hold on to your sacraments, because we're gonnna find out! The first pantheon presented is "Deities of Greyhawk," on Page 295...so it's the first pantheon to get the 5E Survivor treatment. We will examine the other deities from other pantheons in subsequent contests. Then, we will put all of the winners together in the same arena to determine which one is The Ultimate Survivor!

[*]Mark your upvotes in green, and downvotes in red. Or just show them in bold text and use "[B]+1[/B]" and "[B]-2[/B]" to mark them, if colored text is too difficult on your browsing device.
