Grankhul the Hunter Next let's delve into the bugbear pantheon a bit with Grankhul the Hunter! Grankhul is a god who embodies hunting and stealth, representing ideals that sort of make him and his priests an anti-ranger. Jeff

Luthic the Cave Mother Today I have the only major female goblinoid deity, Luthic the Cave Mother. Like many female deities, she is a goddess of fertility, healing, and protection... but with a Lawful Evil orcish twist! Jeff

Ilneval the Horde Leader Time for the Orcish deity Ilneval the Horde Leader! Ilneval is a deity of war, like Gruumsh and Bahgtru, but he focuses more on the strategic and tactical aspects of war making. Jeff

Oh, I know. I just haven't given it a lot of thought yet. All the evidence for both cases is circumstantial. I'm probably going to pull a "who knows the truth!" thing, and allow for either possibility. All of the pantheons are canonically larger that what is listed in DMGR4. They all have...

I'm actually not a fan at all of adapting human (particularly real-world) deities to non-human races. As there's no evidence of Egyptian influence on the Giff, I'd rather develop a custom god or pantheon for them. I figured they would have something with a military hierarchy. Jeff

Since I've switched to trying to get groups of deities done together, no I'm not. I'll confess, I've had no ideas about Ferrix at all yet (I tend to make notes when good ideas pop into my head, even if I'm not planning to work on a deity right away), and Mellifleur will be tricky since the...

I've been slipping in some plot hooks for Spelljammer where I can with the Goblinoid pantheon, such as hidden temples or mercenary/pirate forces. :) You'll also notice a few deities from Spelljammer sources in the list, such as Rais and Klikral. Once I get to the Beholder and Illithid...

Dragon Magazine #63, Monster Mythology, and On Hallowed Ground are the primary sources. I don't believe I have come across any real information about him anywhere else, at least in AD&D sources. I don not have access to 3e sources or later, and I have a very low opinion of them anyway. There...

Thanks! I have not seen that specific list, but I have seen other similar lists. I'll look over it. Jeff

Hruggek the Decapitator It's been a while since I had a deity to post, but I have still been working on them! I will have some more to post in the near future, but to start with, here is the chief god of the bugbears, Hruggek the Decapitator. I'll also have another deity ready to post in a week...

Kurtulmak the Cunning Here's another entry: Kurtulmak the Cunning, chief of the kobold pantheon! Releases will probably be slow for the foreseeable future for reasons I go into in the blog post. Jeff

Fionnghuala the Mistress of Swans Here we have another entry from Monster Mythology: Fionnghuala the Mistress of Swans. She was really interesting to work on, and I hope people like what I did with her. Jeff

Yeenoghu the Demon Prince of Gnolls Gnolls are one of my favorite races, so I've been looking forward to working on this entry, although I'm a bigger fan of Gorellik. Anyway, here is Yeenoghu, the Demon Prince of Gnolls! Jeff

Volo's Guide to the Dales only lists the sacred site The Dancing Place in High Dale; it's sacred to about a dozen faiths though. Jeff

Note also that the system was designed to give Fighters/warriors an advantage. Most weapons that are the preferred warrior weapons (two-handed sword, long sword, etc.) do more damage to large creatures to give them an advantage in combat. Typical priest and wizard weapons do less damage to large...

The Outward-facing sides are information for the players. You may notice that the duplicated THAC0 tables have a table for Monster THAC0 on the inside, but lacks that on the outside. As has been said, it's divided between Core stuff and Player's Option stuff. I always used the Core screen with...

Heh, my group used to use THWACK-O too. :) Jeff

I never used those guides, since they seemed pretty insane, nor did I give experience for treasure. I divided the monster experience between the party members, gave a "story award" divided amongst the party members, and gave out individual experience awards for roleplaying and inventive...

Tiamat the Chromatic Dragon Here's number eleven! This time we have Tiamat the Chromatic Dragon, featuring my spiffy new and improved Draconic Specialty Priest! Let me know what you think of it. Anyway, this is just for Draconic Priests, as you can use the FR specialty Priest if you want a...

Jazirian the Eternal Serpent Up to my tenth completed deity now. This time I wrote about Jazirian the Eternal Serpent, patron deity of the couatl. Little bit different this time, since (s)he has no priesthood. Chip in with your thoughts! Jeff
