[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 2729199, member: 35788"] I am glad. It took several attempts. I tried to do it using the planes .. but that was a major headache. Then I tried doing something by alignment and that was also a headache. Then I tried to do it by "One greater diety attached to so many intermediate, lesser, and deimigods." That was a monstrous mistake! Finally i just sat down and did it by schools and portfolis. As I said, there are a few I wasn't greatly pleased with ... but ... Yes, Bahamut was one of those that I didn't know where to throw him. Hd doesn't quite fit anywhere, but I thought he fit best in either Righteousness or Protective Healing. While Bahamut is clearly interested in the righteous (and thus could fit there) I thought reading through his porfolio in the CD that protection and restitution of the downtrodden are key elements. So I went with Protective Helaing. He really could have gone either way. Yeah ... I was thnking about that. In truth, the Domination family grouping is always one that I struggled with. The question is what else to do with Halmyr and Joramy, really. Yes, I could just get rid of them. But ... if I want to keep them around - Halmyr clearly belongs with the Righteousness if not in the Domination. Which, I would agree with you that St. Cuthbert would also belong there. That makes a family of five - larger than any other. But that isn't so much a problem as what do do with Joramy. Joramy fits nowhere except with St. Cuthbert and Halmyr. I suppose I could have a family of 6 and put them all in Righteousness. But I didn't want a family that large - it could get bulky. So I did 2 families. Although, come to think about it ... what if I changed the Domination title to Retribution. I think I will do that. Although it technically changes nothing .. that puts a slightly different approach to the gathering. And reading through the portfolis I think they all fit well into Retribution - and thereful can stand apart (although beside) the family of Righteousness. Thanks for asking and getting me to think through that title a bit more. How does Retribution feel instead of Domination? Now, as far as Boccob goes. I intentionally wanted to seperate Wee Jas and Boccob. While Boccob is clearly Neutral and thus could certainly has many wizards who follow him he is clearly more chaotic than Wee Jas. The fact that his granted domains include Trickery whereas Wee Jas grants Law demonstrates a touch of the chaotic in Boccob. But I do understand where you are arguing. Perhaps the problem again is in the title. Rather than Organized/Spontaneous Magic, perhaps I should have two other polar categories. I'm open for suggestions. Good. Keep any thoughts coming. As all worlds go ... the more the world is explored, the more detailed the information will need to be. [/QUOTE]
