Core Religion Survivor, Round Two

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Isn't Pholtus the one with the wildly intolerant "good" church, though? That's worth keeping and having that grafted to a semi-stereotypical god of light and butterflies makes it work all the better, IMO.

 

[Cthulhudrew]

What happened to Pholtus ?

Good point. Pholtus isn't core (and this is Core Religion Survivor), but there are several non-core gods up in the list (Lolth, Kurtulmak, Bahamut, Tiamat).

The whole thing's biased! The statistics are skewed!

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Replace kuo-toa with lamias. Or half-dragon ankhegs.

Well, like I said, show me a cool god for those, and they can have one. If not, out it goes, racial god or no racial god. Life's too short for a pantheon full of also-rans.

I hate Lolth for her position on males. Boom.

 

[Olaf the Stout]

Looks like Lolth and Yondalla are gonna "win" this round. I imagine that Vecna won't make it past the next round though.

I'm whittling out the non-gods. Uber-dragons begone!

And you know, thinking about Pelor, it's not really his problem, he's Neutral Good, of course he's boring!

 

[Felix]

Eh, Pelor is the Generic Sun God of Goodness, just like a million uninspired Generic Sun Gods of Goodness. The Aztecs, now THEY knew how to create an interesting sun god. (So did the Greeks, for that matter.) Pelor is just ... there.

There is a Sun God of Goodness: His name is ORONTHON, and Rintrah is his prophet!

---

And I'm going to put in my predictions for the final three:

Grummsh v Nerull v Olidammara

• Grummsh likes his followers to put out their eye without crying out, and he hates elves.

• Nerull likes people to DIE.

• Olidammara likes wine, women, song, and larceny.

Friggin awesome.

And you know, thinking about Pelor, it's not really his problem, he's Neutral Good, of course he's boring!

Quite a few interesting characters are Neutral Good. I'd argue Gandalf, for one. Neutral Good isn't boring so much as it is less manic.

Date one manic person-of-your-sexual-preference and you'll view the extremes as a lot less appealing.

Rintrah? Wasn't that Doctor Strange's apprentice?

 

[Felix]

Rintrah? Wasn't that Doctor Strange's apprentice?

You're thinking of this Rintrah. But notice the Historical Note: it is from that source [Blake] that Sepulchrave takes quite a few of his Angels and Demons in his story hour, which is much recommended.

Rintrah is the planetar in charge of mortal revelations for Oronthon. Who is so cool he ices over Pelor. Seriously.

EDIT: Enitharmon, mentioned in the link, is also a solar in Sepulchrave's story hour.
