[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 4767489, member: 3867"] Not every Dragonlance fan considers the two to be separate. In my own mind, Tiamat is an aspect (avatar) of the goddess Takhisis, much like how Bahamut is an aspect (avatar) of the god Paladine. Tiamat and Bahamut are the [I]inspiration [/I]behind Takhisis and Paladine. You can see this in their Istarian names (Tii'Mhut and Bah'Mut). Jeff Grubb is the one largely responsible for the deities in Dragonlance, taken from his home game, so that's where the original evolution came from. There has been some changes in evolution over the years. Most notably, Takhisis is now dead while Tiamat lives on. In other worlds, such as the Realms, Tiamat and Bahamut are portrayed as lesser deities. In Dragonlance, they are two of the three of the major deities (alongside Gilean, neutral god of knowledge). As Ferratus mentions above, Dragonlance fans aren't too keen on seeing their major deities reduced to lesser deities. Personally, I just look at it as Takhisis and Paladine working on multiple planes, and putting their focus on Krynn, while lesser aspects work in other worlds. While some Dragonlance fans consider the change an evolution, and others consider the deities to be one and the same, there is no doubt that there is a connection. So yes, Dragonlance fans often use rules and ideas centered around Tiamat and Bahamut in their Dragonlance games. Venger is just misunderstood. ;) I did a [URL="http://www.dlnexus.com/fan/rules/character/20820.aspx"]4th edition Venger conversion[/URL] a while back, adapting him to the Dragonlance game. Now I need a game to fit him in... Oh, and look in H4 Throne of Bloodstone for more information on her. Once you defeat Orcus and take his wand, the only way to destroy it is by placing it in Tiamat's heart! [/QUOTE]
