[QUOTE="Wepwawet, post: 7127056, member: 56398"] We all know everything about the Morninglord, but what about Curse of Strahd's mysterious Mother Night? Have you detailed this deity any further in your campaigns? One of the D&D people (Crawford maybe?) said the domain to describe her is Trickery... But that's very poor, I need more. The reason I'm asking is because I have a Drow worshiper of Ellistraee in my game and she's been dancing naked to her goddess every night. Apparently Ellistraee grants blessings on the full moon, like making her hair shiny silver and coating her weapons with radiance for about a month ( [url]http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Eilistraee#Powers[/url] ). That's what my player is hoping to get... I told her that I'm still thinking about it. There's 3 more in-game nights till full moon. I'm going with it because it's pretty cool, and the poor elf will have to dance naked in the freezing montains these next nights. It can be basically a magic weapon, she doesn't even have any magic items yet, so that's a cool way to get one. But not permanent powers. However, because there are no other gods in this land, I was thinking of having Mother Night answer her dancing prayers instead, and grant some different powers. They both share godly aspects after all, they could even be parts of the same goddess. The easy (and powerful) option would be to make her weapons deal radiant damage. But I'd rather grant a more interesting power, one that clearly comes from Mother Night. Necrotic damage? Trickery domain's Invoke duplicity 1/day? For a start, she could get the silver hair of a crone instead of beautiful flowing shiny hair. [/QUOTE]
