[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 1228175, member: 939"] Ok, you know what? I'll do that. It will have to be tonight - after I get home from work, then after I get home from class (IT by day, law school by night. ugh!) The dieties are all actually still fairly generic, in that they are about things like Time, Justice/Revenge, Love, etc. I tried to make them all reasonably balanced, but really, some are better at certain things than others. Only a handful of them have been chosen by PC clerics, though there have been many more NCPs - some of which were foes. Brack being a particularly nasty one. I am pretty sure I have all of that in a nice format for posting on file somewhere. I think I'll put it all in the house rules because it all goes together - the history includes mention of the origins of one of the dieties - kind of fun, actually - in the first campaign I ran in the world, an evil necromancer was trying to achieve god-hood - the history actually went far back on that one, and by the end of that campaign, which had the PCs facing off against him, he ended up succeeding, though the PCs managed to save their nation, which was the main issue they were dealing with. So my later campaign had him added to the pantheon. Then, in an ironic twist, in an even later campaign, one of the players from the first campaign made up a character who ended up being a cleric of that "new" diety. One of these days I'll have to do a web page. Back to the topic at hand - I defintely do not miss the vanilla 1e clerics - though I did have fun playing. I had much more fun making the speciality pantheon, and I think my players really liked that too. One of them really got into a cleric of a particular one - Morinda, who stood for Justice and Revenge, in the vigilante sense... [/QUOTE]
