[FRCS] Gender restrictions for specific deities?

[Dark Jezter]

Hi all. I am not as well versed in Forgotten Realms lore as many people, so I am wondering which deities have gender-specific clerics? I know that Lolth only allows females as clergy. Are there any other deities that favor a certain gender for clerics? Thanks in advance.

 

[RogueJK]

Isis is the only other deity that I know of that requires her clergy to be female.

Two other goddesses, Sune and Selune, prefer female clerics, but they do allow some males.

I'll see if I can find any male-only deities.

 

[Kaptain_Kantrip]

All the Orc gods (except Luthic) allow male only clerics and adepts. Luthic has almost entirely female clerics and adepts as it's not very macho to worship a female in orc culture.

 

[DM_Matt]

Elistree, the good drow goddess, perfers female clerics. Nude dancing is their central ritual.

WTF is wrong with these sweaty-palmed fanboys writing thier pervy fantasies into the Drow culture. Gosh and begorna! Nude dancing? Female S&M priests? What kinda whacked-out weirdoes ARE these guys?! You'd think you'd have some male-only cult devoted to wrestling or polishing large clubs or something, but NO, and that's not just because some uppitty femi-nazi would scream "Unequal!" at the mention of a male-only society of elites!

Cripes, it's as bad as the trend for authors to ignore set rules of the world and make their own pet wizard that roxxors because they can't friggin' ponder the reality that their favorite character could be killed.

Pheh. Elminster, I'm just waitin' for the ELH. Then, I'm gonna run an evil campaign, and YOU GOIN' DOWN, BEE-OTCH!

Heh. Sorry.

Real-world priests of Hercules wore women's dresses in all their ceremonies.

P.S. Nih!

Uh...I, er, don't recall reading about that. Do you happen to know why?

Oh, and btw, let us all be glad that WotC has, thus far, not taken certain suggestions made on this board to heart. I seem to recall something about nude sunbathing as a ritual to honor Pelor...

 

[Nightfall]

Far as I know, there's no ritual nude dancing at least when it comes to the Eight Victors...

Course there are the miltiant lesbians of Tanil that love to secude women away from their men...but that's another issue.

Nudity is natural. What's the big deal?

Hmm? Which game is this in?
