Melora also had a Channel Divinity, but it was more of a Bazaar of the Bizarre.

And Bahamut's D&Dg was more of a Guilds & Groups.

He doesn't seem to be a very popular option, but I would really like to see a D&DG on Erathis.

 

[Mistwell]

I kinda want to see some write ups of old school gods: norse, greek/roman, celtic, etc..

 

[Derulbaskul]

I would really like to see Tharizdun.

It's bizzare, because nobody ever seemed particularly interested in say, Wee Jas

Wee Jas was one of my favorites.

My vote is for Thor, Apollo and Set. I'm not sure how many DMs actually use the classic mythological gods in their settings, but I love seeing how each version of D&D treats these gods. It's kind of old school Deities and Demigods fealing.

I got all nostalgic seeing Deities & Demigods in the title. I haven't been following the new articles (to the point that I didn't even know they existed). I voted 'Other' as I would like to see some of the classic D&DG stuff as well. I'd be particularly interested in an article on the Finnish mythos.

I'll stick to the gods I need for my own games, who almost never appear on such lists.

Personally, I find godly "portfolios" very limiting, indeed. Very few of the standard mythology gods fit neatly into such boxes, so I try to avoid them. Thor, for example, is in charge of thunder and lightning, possibly rain, sometimes aspects of crops, certainly basic crafting, but is also the god who watches over marriages, although not childbirth or fertility. Kinda hard to fit him neatly, then.

OTOH, Zeus was in charge of the heavens, weather and rulership, Poseidon was clearly god of oceans, earthquakes and horses, Athena was goddess of wisdom, disciplined warfare, etc.

Thor was associated with storms (including thunder, lightning and rain) and strength, Odin with rulership and secret knowledge, etc.

Portfolios aren't that limiting, polytheistic cultures had them all along.

Me, I'd make her the god originally worshipped by the ancestors of Strahd Von Zarovich, making her the reason for Ravenia Von Zarovich's name and Castle Ravenloft's name. Which would make her the one that Strahd made a deal with.
