[QUOTE="Goblyns Hoard, post: 1821553, member: 19970"] [b]Emotions sound good[/b] But I do think you'll have a problem with those aspects you point out - so many things can encompass the full range of emotions. Even war can be found in a fair few you've mentioned (Fury, Hate, Grief, even Love in terms of Love of country). The pantheon I developed had a similar concept in that I gave each of the gods a 'sin' to represent them as well as the traditional spheres of influence. So each has two 'positive' and one 'negative'. The negative is viewed as something to be resisted by good worshippers, or revelled in by evil worshippers (my gods don't have alignments). So I have a god of earth, dawn and sloth, a goddess of community, justicve and tyranny, a god of light, war and prejudice. This rounds out the character of the gods, making them less two dimensional, but also allowing different religions to develop around each deity. I developed this because I thought it would be very interesting to parallel the real world with religious conflict between different cultures that ostensibly worship the same deity. Back to your original query - here is the full list of spheres that I have used: Arrogance Beauty Charity Cold Community Consequence Craftmanship Dark Dawn Death Deprivation Earth Fertility Gluttony Harvest Inspiration Jealousy Justice Knowledge Life Light Love Lust Magic Obsession Oceans Peace Prejudice Rage Reflection Revenge Sloth Storms Tyranny Vanity War [/QUOTE]
