[QUOTE="Anime Kidd, post: 2030039, member: 881"] Like most others I have tried whip up a homebrew setting. One of the things that I like but causes me no end of frustration are the deities. Because of this I have spent many times redoing the deities over and over. Then in a issue of Dragon I saw an article on deity achetypes along with appropriate domains and alignment. Nice article, made things easier but it didn't have enough. So I came up with my own and was wondering what are some other archetypes? What I got so far are (but haven't played around with the domains or alignments yet): Artist Beastmaster Beauty Creator Creature (usually of a specific type) Darkness-bringer Demon Ruler Destroyer Divine/Enlightned Monk Elemental (usually of a specific element) Emperor Evil Incarnate Farmer Fertility Forger/Craftsman Gambler Green Man/Nature God Guide to the Afterlife Healer Hunter Jester/Trickster Judge of the Dead Justicar/Knight Life Light-bringer Madman (wisdom through insanity) Magician Maiden/Mother/Grandmother trio Merchant Messenger Moon Musician Necromancer/Undead Plague-bearer Poet Oracle/Fate Protector Protector of Souls Reaper of Death Retribution/Revenge Reveler Sage (as in learned knowledge) Seducer Soldier Storm God Sun Thief Torturer Traveler Tyrant Wiseman [/QUOTE]
