[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 2173264, member: 2012"] For determining a deities Divine Rank, make sure you closely reference page 25 of Deities and Demigods, as it details the difference between Rank 0 to Rank 21+ Here's a simple breakdown for everyones reference: Rank 0: Referred to as Quasi-Deities or Hero Deities. Rank 1-5: Deities of these ranks are Demigods. Rank 6-10: Lesser Deities. Rank 11-15: Intermediate Deities Rank 16-20: Greater Deities. Rank 21+: These entities are beyond the ken of mortals and care nothing for worshippers. Thay are called Overdeities. Thus, if an official 3E D&D product lists a particular deity as an Intermediate Deity then that deity must have a rank between 11 and 15. Many of the deities from Monster Mythology have been given such listings in such books as the FRCS and D&D Draconimicon: The Book of Dragons. Below are some listings... [COLOR=DarkOrange][B]Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (FRCS)[/B][/COLOR] * [B]Drow Gods[/B] Eilistraee (L) Ghaunadaur (L) Kiaransalee (D) Lolth (I) Selvetarm (D) [B]Dwarven Gods[/B] Abbathor (I) Berronar Truesilver (I) Clangeddin Silverbeard (I) Deep Duerra (duergar) (D) Dugmaren Brightmantle (L) Dumathoin (I) Gorm Gulthyn (L) Haela Brightaxe (D) Laduguer (duergar) (I) Marthammor Duin (L) Moradin (G) Sharindlar (I) Thard Harr (L) Vergadain (I) [B]Elven Gods[/B] Aerdrie Faenya (I) Angharradh (G) Corellon Larethian (G) Deep Sashelas (I) Erevan Ilesere (I) Fenmarel Mestarine (L) Hanali Celanil (I) Labelas Enoreth (I) Rillifane Rallathil (I) Sehanine Moonbow (I) Shevarash (D) Solonor Thelandira (I) [B]Gnome Gods[/B] Baervan Wildwanderer (I) Baravar Cloakshadow (L) Callarduran Smoothhands (I) Flandal Steelskin (I) Gaerdal Ironhand (L) Garl Glittergold (G) Segojan Earthcaller (I) Urdlen (I) [B]Halfling Deites[/B] Arvoreen (I) Brandobaris (L) Cyrrollalee (I) Sheela Peryroyl (I) Urogalan (D) Yondalla (G) Orc Gods Bahgtru (L) Grummsh (G) Ilneval (L) Luthic (L) Shargaas (L) Yurtrus (L) * i realize that many of these are Forgotten Realms specific but I didn't feel like figuring out which ones fell into that category.
