Help with Creating a Deity

[MrFaust]

Greetings Everyone,
I am running an Forgotten Realms Campaign (3e) and I have a rather large plot line around the return of a dead power. Now I have the Faiths & Pantheons and I understand how to go about building the Deity from scratch. What I am having a problem with is their Rank. Now as a former Deity they have very few followers so I am going to assume that their rank would be quite low, the problem is trying to figure out and Deity Rank to Worshipers ratio. Now I seem to remember seeing an table some where that had shown how many worshipers are needed for each Deity rank, but for the life of me I cant seem to remember where and I poured through the Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, Dungeon Masters Guide and Faiths & Pantheons an found nothing as well as the many posts on the subject. Any help would really mean a lot and get me out of this jam.

short answer the chart is in deities and demigawds. this could help you but not sure if its completely kosher. but if ur just wanting a guideline well then Divine Ranks And Powers :: d20srd.org

While I thank you for your aid Rakusia, that was not what I am looking for. I know how to build a Deity. What I am seeking is a table that displays how many followers/worshipers you need to reach each Deity Rank. For example it would say 500 Worshipers for Divine Rank of 0, ect, ect.

 

[Rakusia]

it tells you a rough average of followers. what youre looking for is a divine ranks chart.

 

[MrFaust]

Hmm, I cant seem to find where in that guide it is located. Any idea on what page i can be found?

rank 0 some worshippers

rank 1-5 few hundred to few thousand

rank 6-10 few thousand to ten thousand

rank 11-15 These entities are called intermediate deities. They have hundreds of thousands of mortal worshipers

16-20 Called greater deities, these entities may have millions of mortal worshipers

21+
These entities are beyond the ken of mortals and care nothing for worshipers. They do not grant spells, do not answer prayers, and do not respond to queries. If they are known at all, it is to a handful of scholars on the Material Plane. They are called overdeities. In some pantheistic systems, the consent of an overdeity is required to become a god.25
