Codex of Erde question concerning Gods

[yipwyg]

Hello!

I just downloaded the Codex of Erde gazetter from Troll's site. I noticed that some of the gods in that document only have G or E as far as alignment goes. I was wondering if the actual book lists the full alignment of the Gods.

The reason I am looking into this is because I plan on getting Castles and Crusades in the near future and plan on getting there rerelease of their home setting. Currently Erde is selling for 10 dollars off their site, and it would give me an idea as to what the setting is like.

I also plan on perhaps running a couple of d20 adventures using the setting, basically a couple of one shots, to give my players a taste of it before running a castle's and crusades campaign.
This is why I would like to know about the gods alignment issue, for clerics worshipping them.

Thanks for any info.

Oh I know that it is for 3.0. However, I plan on using mainly the setting.

Also the 3 prestige classes in there, would it be possible to use the "paladin" one as a prestige paladin and not use the standard paladin class?

It does. However, there shortcut means they only list "neutral" for true neutral gods. So a chaotic good god would be CG, but a chaotic neutral god would be C.

Unless your strapped for money get the Codex. The new version is going to have essentially the same camapign info, just with much better formatting, organization, and clarity. In the mean time you will get $10 of use out of the old one.

As for the Paladin, PrC's don't exist as official rules in C&C. If you want to do something along those lines you could do what I did. My son played a Knight until he convinced me he could properly play the character aqs a Paladin. At 5th level he became ordained into brotherhood and all his xp was converted to the Paladin class to where he is a first level Knight, 4th level Paladin. He was a 5th level Knight at the time, and the main reason he kept a level as a Knight was to explain and be able to keep the riding and jousting powers.

I am considering house ruling that Paladins get the riding/jousting abilities as well, I just haven't decided whether to up the Paladin class xp requirements. I am thinking I should, because those skills do have a lot of impact on the effectiveness of the character while on horseback. Makes them down right scary.


Also, look up glyfairs thread on the Troll Lords sale, unless you've bookmarked it, go to the website he has linked there, then click on the forums link, sign up, and then ask dozens of C&C CK's and players to help you out with advice. At least a hlaf a dozen of them still come to ENWorld pretty regular, so they may pop in and add their advice here.

Thanks for the responses so far.

I currently plan to set my a couple of my d20 adventures in this setting, that's why I was asking about the prestige classes.

So by the above the God of Knowledge, Past, Present and Future is NE in alignment, so that a player in a d20 would have to be NE, N, CE, LE to be a cleric of that god.

I don't know if clerics in C&C are bound in the same way as d20 clerics in alignment.

 

[Treebore]

C&C clerics are written to be close in alignment, so the simple answer is yes. However you can do whatever you want. Like I said in my longer answer to you in the C&C forums, In my game good clerics can serve good and neutral deities, but not evil. Evil can serve evil or neutral, but not good. I don't worry about the law/chaos enough. There may be a very strict god with whom I would say alignment should be that strict of an issue, but odds are if the deity is that uptight I would be rulling that you can only serve the god if your alignment is exactly the same.

These are my rules, and C&C CK's don't beat you up for doing your own thing. Nor do the Troll Lords.

Cool, that is what I thought.

I like you want to move the god more to the neutral side. I don't like the idea of the God of Knowledge to be primarily worshiped by evil clerics.

I will probably move him to Lawful Neutral or just plain Neutral.

In my campaign there is going to be a Neutral Evil cleric of Mephistopheles pretending to be a cleric of the God of Knowledge. If the paladin or cleric detetcts evil on him, they will. However being a neutral god he would have evil clerics in the church, and his cover won't be totally blown from the get go.

Sounds good and devious to me.
