[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8446644, member: 2209"] A god of farming who spends his time fighting is probably called [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_(mythology)']Mars[/URL]. ;) Lots of mythological gods and heroes and monsters and such are not unidimensional. In 3e I went the other way on devils and demons and such. Even if their individual alignment switched to good they were still composed of the cosmic force EVIL and retained the subtype [EVIL] and so detected as evil and were affected by supernatural effects as if they were evil. Such morally good fiends would also detect as good, but always as EVIL unless something else pushed them out of their Devil/[EVIL] classification. I gave them inherent elemental alignment aspects and also free will. I found having a divide between morality and supernatural subtype alignment a conceptual framework that made alignment fun for me.
