Chosen of a Deity--a Possible Template

[sparxmith]

In the Forgotten Realms, every deity has the option of choosing certain mortals to be their Chosen. In my campaign, set in Faerun, I have 4 characters who were all prophecied on at their birthing, that they would be the "Truly Great", "Blessed by the Gods", and "Creators of a New Future".

I was hoping to make each of these characters into chosen of deities. I can find stats for Chosen of Bane and Chosen of Mystra, but none for any of the other deities. If anyone could point me to where I could find those stats, I'd sincerely appreciate it. Or, Alternatively, any original ideas about what abilities I might grant would also be sincerely appreciated. Actually, I think I might enjoy those more.

BTW, the Gods in question are Nobanion, Tymorra, Mystra (which I already have), and Correlon.

Thanks in advance,

Sparxmith


PS You can check out the story, in story hour. I'd link it, but my left brain doesn't function after using my right brain for so long. =-)

Personally, I'm using Requim for God my Monte Cook to help with this. There's a template called Divinely Infused. It is a general template and does not give specific abilities that target individuality about dieties though.

Arent there Chosen templates / PrC in Deities and Demigods?

AR

Here is a link to the template that WotC posted for the Chosen of Deneir: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/fr/deneir

Beyond that, you're on your own. There have been no templates or anything for the various Chosen published in any official works beyond the ones for Bane and Mystra that you've already found. There are other Chosen out there, there's just no mechanism for determining their powers and abilities. Really, the only thing you can do now is make up what powers you want your Chosen to have.

Administrators: Perhaps this thread should be moved, though I'm not sure where.

Anyway...If there are no rules, does anyone have ideas as to what are reasonable abilities/bonuses to grant? I'll try to find what I can on the deities in question and post them for inspiration. But for now, it's late and I work in the morning.

Sweet Dreams,

To keep it balanced (well, relatively spoken), the templates should be around the same power level. Look into all you can find about the deities and give the powers accordingly.

A character of mine was Chosen of Corellon once, but he didn't get any abilities - just the title (which was nice enough). For powers for a chosen of Corellon: He should get a big bonus on Dex (+10 like the +10 con with Mystra). Maybe make all spells in the elf domain spell-like abilities 1/day. Maybe immunity to enchantment spells (or at least a big bonus on saves against it). Low-light vision should be empowered.

Bump.

WotC still needs to publish stats for the "Chosen of Deneir"... And for Cadderly, for that matter. But an overview of potential and existing Chosen, plus guidelines to how to create more Chosen could be an excellent chapter in a future sourcebook or supplement.

I simply couldn't disagree more!


For because, they already did that.

Right. Sorry. My mistake. And I've even read that article... But I still want the rest of them..
