[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 8610585, member: 54629"] I might have to do that, but I want to see if I can keep them separate, as gods of good/neutrality/evil first. But as I said upthread, I'm also wrestling with whether or not I even want to have evil gods. I might just want evil to be represented by fiends and such. That said, I think I want to keep the chromatic dragons as evil, rather than go the "any alignment" route that Eberron took, simply because I struggle to visualize skull-faced swamp dwellers and poison-breathing mind controllers as being anything other than evil. Yeah, I guess. I feel like a brass dragon god would be the god of the exchange of ideas (and maybe also the products of those ideas) - whether that be through conversation or other types of learning. This would naturally lead to them being the god of things like invention and maybe also the god of traders/merchants/travelers/sailors and others who facilitate the exchange of goods and ideas. Sure. Exactly. The Greek gods are all over the show. Poseidon is god of the sea and storms but also horses for some random reason. Apollo is probably the worst in terms of being the god of random things. That's a possibility. I had the thought that the gem dragons could be the gods of "truth" (since they're all supposed to be neutral and, being psionic-focused, are more interested in various esoteric bits of knowledge and such). The emerald is the odd one out there, so I'm having to rethink my idea for the gem dragons' theme. Except that's not their focus. The topaz dragon is more interested in the decay and destruction that comes [I]before[/I] the renewal and rebirth. It's a very specific focus. They'd be the god of wildfires and decomposition. That sort of thing. The god of "sweeping the slate clean so you can start over". Cool. [/QUOTE]
