Well, I kinda agree with you here, and --as I said-- I prefer to not use it in my FR. I edited my previous post with my take on faithless characters: In the case of character without deity, if it were up to me, they would still have a ''patron deity'' defined by their action, even if they...

I meant that the character wouldn't have any particular ''chosen'' patron deity (for example, they worship the various gods, but don't stop and think who among them has the most influence on their life). In a ''practical'' situation, everyone feels closer to some gods than they do with others...

The character wouldn't have any specific patron deity, they would just be praying to the various gods. That wouldn't make them Wall material, and their afterlife would likely take place in the realm of the deity that is closest to the character's ideas (a soldier that prayed to all gods would...

It is a preferred deity, or a deity that has a particular influence on someone's life. For example, Chauntea to a farmer. However, this doesn't mean that someone who prays and worships Chauntea more often/intensely than they do with other deities, thinks that Chauntea is superior or above the...

Yeah, there's also a computer game that revolves around that. What I meant is that the dead PCs' soul wouldn't be able to do much, unless it was given the ability to act. But, if we go by canon, the PC's memory would be lost (memory ''caches'' drift around in the Astral Plane, according to ''On...

If a character got stuck in a wall and dissolved into nothingness, what kind of RP or opportunity would there be (for that character)? For them, it'd be over. Unless you wanted to run a campaign where the PCs went on a crusade to destroy the wall, or free their former companion from the wall...

In FR everyone worships many deities, praying to them in the appropriate circumstances. People might have preferences, sure, but only rare individuals choose a single deity and ignore the rest. For a source, this is explicitly stated in the ''Elminster's FR'' book, and several times by Ed...

The SCAG merely says that the Sundering (i.e. Ao rewriting the Tablets of Fate) brought back the various dead gods, and then provides a list, but --as others said-- there really isn't an extensive discussion anywhere. Some gods have been confirmed to be back in other places (novels, or Ed's...

Personally, I'd respect the honesty, if they were to say that.

If you're looking for more on that, I suggest you the 2e ''Faiths and Avatars'' and ''Demihuman Deities'' books. Lots of info on both the deities themselves and their followers, rites, prayers, role in the world and so on.

The explanation for any changes concerning gods and their return, or lands being swapped is ''Ao did it''. Mystra, Bhaal, Helm, Mask and Azuth seem to be the exception, given that they received rather extensive coverage (or are going to, in the case of Azuth).

Updated the OP with more info from Ed Greenwood: http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19841&whichpage=21#476469 "Irennan, yes, there can at the present time in the Realms be male clergy of Eilistraee (no changedance necessary). SOME of their followers are still foes (humans even of...

The Sundering novels and their followups cover only a narrow slice of the full changes. In fact other novels (like Evan's and Greenwood's) include various tidbits here and there to provide updates on what the Sundering did that wasn't included in the six books. The SCAG also provides a general...

It actually was Zandilar who tried to seduce Vhaeraun, IIRC, and he tried to get back at her by assorbing her divinity afterwards. Either way, I see what you mean, and while Sharess isn't the only FR deity to have a colorful/vivid story, her worship is definitely widespread and influent among...

I'll have to wait till late November :/

Wasn't aware of Sharess being related to war, albeit distantly in the present time. Thanks for clarifying.

Oh, so Ghaunadaur *is* still a god. About the other gods, well, we don't have ''stats'' for them, but at least they're confirmed as active/still active Post-Sundering. Either way, assigning domains to them is rather easy. For example, Lurue would probably have Nature, and perhaps Aracana, if you...

I like this kind of take, and --if you read Elminster's FR-- it's what Ed envisioned too. Evil gods and their followers (well, most of them. Then you have deities like Lolth...) *don't* go ''evulz is kewl, I kick puppies for the lulz'', because no one with half a brain, save for people with...

He could have returned with the Sundering. He lost his divinity, but he has one avatar, out there. However, since he is included, but not even mentioned as a god, I assume that ''by default'' he doesn't have divinity. Since, according to what I've gathered, the section presents a general...

Thanks. So I take that entities like Ghaunadaur and Moander, going by the book, may no longer grant divine spells, but have cults, warlock ''agents'' and so on?
