But Iuz is not god of death. Just as there are not so friggin many gods and goddesses of light. Domain are nothing but a mechanical expression for the cleric class and there are only a very limited number of them. There are hundreds of porfolios.

Actually I believe that is a very unfortunate usage of the word "domain" in it's colloquial meaning while forgetting for a second that it's also a technical rule term with a different meaning. So we're right back to "misstakes" in professionally published manuals "When Tiamat drops to 0 hit...

Yeah, the thread moves so fast if you're away for a few days. Anyway The RP tool are the portfolios of the deity which are listed right after her name. It's important for RP that Iuz is the god of pain and oppression and is CE. That he grants the death domain is superfluous for any character...

What purpose have domains for non-spellcasting acolytes? Domains are only relevant for spellcasting clerics

He was at least a allowed choice for clerics in Living Greyhawk. I guess someone would need to dig through the lore to see if it was ever stated where the spells of his clerics come from. IIRC it was stated for one of his pals, fellow hero deity Murylynd, that the spells to Murlynd's clergy...

Sekolah has been relocated to the prime in 5e and is still called a lesser god

Actually for you to be correct requires a misstake in the appendix

So a human who becomes a god is still a human?

Then they should cut down their mobility and other class features. Monks are not supposed to outperform fighters and barbarians. They trade combat progress for other stuff

It's right in the DMG It's pretty normal that large multi-person manuals are choke full of reference to stuff that was later cut while the reference was forgotten. Not even speaking of infamous "Add sensible text here later" or "Cut before final print" stuff appearing in shipped versions of a...

Iuz hears prayers and grants spells, which quasi-deities no longer can do in 5e. And demigods are even described as the weakest quasi deities. 3e quasi deities were defined (as one possible origin) as being born from the union of a deity and a mortal. Now 5e lists being born from the union of...

It wouldn't have to be a rise. Demigod and god in 5e simply means different things than the meant pre-5e. Simple as that. It's not Iuz's power that waxed or waned, the term 5e uses to describe this level of power is just not the same as it was before

So after reading a little more of the Minsk Guide I must correct myself, it's obviously set in present day realms. I was confused by seeing so many old NPC, but reading deeper into each, every one of them that should be dead by now actually comes with an explanation for still being around over a...

Actually Bhaal was never a greater deity. At his height he was an intermediate power. But nevermind that voluntarily becoming a demigod thing, that's the current 5e timeline and after remembering to get the Minsk book from drivethrough I now see that this is set in the past during the time of...

Isn't that avatar now actually the true Bhaal? IIRC the last news on the Dead Three was that they made some deal with Ao to be reduced to demigod power and becoming killable in the process, but in return they were allowed to directly meddle with the mortal coil in a way now forbidden to full...

Then I missremembered. I thought that in 2e they could already grant the full range of spells. But it only started in 3e

Not at all. It was a mostly functional god in 1e, a fully functional god in 2e-3e and in 5e it became a non-functional god which was a terribly ill defined 4e term that could include anything from former intermediate gods to just the head groundkeeper of the largest tempel. Basically any naned...

Fir what it's worth I believe that the vast majority of former demigods have been promoted to gods just because 5e demoted the term demigod. The were fully functional spell-granting deities before and the designers just wanted to keep them that way. For some reason they also wanted to redefine...

Writer 3: I guess I just use cookies for my story, just screw the parts that previously refered to cake

The last novel of the Sundering series actually lampshades this. Part of the story takes place in candlekeep and there's hardly any monk left. Every 'monk' is actually a spy for one of the countless secret evil organizations pretending to be a monk to spy on the other monks. An older example...
