[QUOTE="Bront, post: 2921968, member: 19696"] I'm opening this up to discuss the pantheon a bit, and perhaps tweek it to a more sound and complete pantheon. [B][SIZE=3][u]My Notes on the Pantheon:[/u][/SIZE][/B] Delanor: Intermediate LG god of marines, sailors, seagoing merchants and maritime trade Needs one more domain (Water?) for better flavor Needs to be a little more fleshed out. Not a lot to go on. He looks like he's tied closer to the Military than sailing. LG is an odd allignment for a sailor god. Should he be an Intermediate God? I think Lesser is probably better. Favored Weapon: Scimitar should be added. ------------------------- Gliran: Intermediate LN God of Wizardry and Sorcery May need one more domain (Rune?, Death?), though currently it's not that with the 3 selected. Favored weapon: Longsword? I guess he's a god tied to Eldritch Knights, but he even says he'd rather use spells than tools. Quarterstaff or Dagger might be better suited, or even the light crossbow. Has some beliefs and background info, could be expanded on a bit, but probably not needed that desperately. Seems a little too aimed at arcane magic and not inclusive of clerics, unless that was an oversight in how it was presented, and that could easily be adjusted. Seems a little too cornered to be an intermediate deity, though that's not unreasonable. ------------------------- Antonidas: Lesser LG god of academics, invention and magic May need one more domain (Rune?, Artiface?). This seems more relivent, though his current domains are identical to Gliran. He's got beliefs, worshipers, and some story. I like him. I think he's perfect where he is, having declined to a lesser deity by process of arguements in faith and lack of evangelical worshipers. ------------------------- Chennet': NG god of weapons, armor, the forge and craftsmen Forge domain ever finished? if not, replace it with Artiface? Is it me, or did someone get inspired by Animal House? ;) Could use a little bit of an expansion, I'd probably change "god of weapons, armor, the forge and craftsmen" to "God of metalworking, the forge, and dwarves" and add a little more dwarven flavor to it. Could possibly be bumped up to Intermediate god. ------------------------- Geoth: Lesser NG god of cooking, hospitability and celebration. Favored Weapon (Note to use Club stats?) I like him a lot. Good flavor, and a lot to go on to base a cleric on. ------------------------- Grendath: Lesser CG god of luck, heroism in battle, freedom, and exploration Domains: Replace Trickery with Travel or Liberation? (He is the god of exploration and freedom, and trickery doesn't make much sense in his spheres of influence) Needs some more flavor about the cleric's worhip, the deity's origins, and such. Seems to be popular, though he's broad and is worshiped by adventurers, so this seems reasonable. Shouldn't be any higher in the pantheon even due to the number of adventurers out there. ------------------------- Hyrag: Lesser NG god of the sun's healing power and foe of the undead Domain: Add the Glory domain? (not needed, but would work) Needs more information. For a god that's worshiped by many, he's fairly sparce. (Perhaps married to Helina?) Probably should be elevated to Sun god, and moved up to an intermediate god. Seems fairly influental, powerful, and well recieved in the world. ------------------------- Jareth: Lesser LE god of gaming Should read: LE god of assassins, games of skill Filled out nicely, is a well done god. Maybe add politics into the mix of spheres of worship/influence? ------------------------- Kazikazi: Lesser CE goblinoid god of vengeance and tunneling Shural: Lesser LN goblinoid god of architecture and reason Generaly well done racial deities, with a history of the gods. ------------------------- Lilitu: Lesser NE drow goddess of manipulation, trickery and deceit Mishtuli: Lesser CE drow god of killing for sport and assassins Probably needs a little more info on both, but having defined the Drow's roll in LEW might help a bit as well. It seems they're still the spider god worshiping [s]redheaded stepchildren[/s] evil brothers of the elves. Mishtuli allows for worshipers normaly outside of her realm of allignment influence, was this intentional and is this allowable? Lilitu's favored weapon, a "poison ring"? Can we get something a bit better a cleric can use? A dagger works for deciept Domain: Add the Charm domain to Lilitu? -------------------------- Sela: Lesser LN god of unity, lasting accomplishments, and stone buildings Sela is well done. The favored weapon sits a little odd with me, but I can see it. I would suggest she be raised to an Intermediate. -------------------------- Taka: Lesser NE goddess of thievery and dishonesty with one's self. Domains: Add Darkness? What do Thieves, Assasins, and Spiked Chains have in common? We could use a better Favored weapon (Sap? Short Sword? Dagger? Crossbow?) Could use some more fleshing out, but has enough there to go on. -------------------------- Taurusk: Lesser CE god of war and bloodshed. Intermediate god? War is usually a big thing in a pantheon. Lots of good stuff here. Very nice. -------------------------- Verdante: Lesser NG god of natural cycles, plants, and animals Domains: Add healing? Generaly some good stuff here. Elevate to intermediate god of nature? -------------------------- Ayratha: Demi LN goddess of fire and transformation. Pretty good. Maybe another domain, but she's a demi. -------------------------- Mongrel: Demi CN god of the lost and dispossessed. Very well done. Lots of info, interesting hooks for worshipers, even non-clerics. -------------------------- Phyrah: Demi true neutral god of travel, exploration, music, storytelling and quests. Favored Weapon: Shield? Interesting. Well done, some good flavor. Maybe make a lesser? --------------------------- Russna: Demi N goddess of knowledge and language. Well done, good flavor. --------------------------- Seto: Demi NE god of assassins, death and darkness. Good flavor, well done. Note, this is the 4th or 5th god where assasins were mentioned in it... --------------------------- Shurassa: Demi CN goddess of storms and wrath. Add Weather as a domain? Well done, generaly good flavor. --------------------------- Ulura: Demi N goddess of lovers and secrets. Well done, good flavor. Maybe make a lesser? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B][SIZE=3][U]Overall coments:[/U][/SIZE][/B] With a few tweeks and some tie-ins, the pantheon is fairly complete now. I can see a few holes to be filled, and it looks like CE, LE, and CG could use another god or two. If a few of the Lessers and Demis are promoted, that will help a lot. There are currently no difinitive gods for Death, Nature, Magic, and LG War. There are a few other concepts missing, and there seems to be a lot of mention of assasins amonst the evil gods. Relations between the gods: I think there should be a little more interaction between the gods. a Geniology, and perhaps a few comments on particular deities that have a past togeather. I like the Seven Sisters, though other than they exist, not much has been done about them. Unless someone has specified, Helina seems an ideal mother (though potentialy not all the same father). Halor may be a good father for Shurassa [/QUOTE]
