Outsiders for Neutral Gods

[tleilaxu]

My current character is Andos, a 3rd (almost 4th) level Cleric of Istus (the Greyhawk goddess of Fate, Destiny, and Truth).

If I manage to survive to 7th level I'll be able to cast Lesser Planar Ally.

The question is: What kind of Outsiders would Serve a Neutral Greater Goddess like Istus?

LG Gods have Archons and Lanterns, NG have Guardinals, Avorals, CG have Eladrins. All good alignments have Astrals, Planetars, and Solars.

LN has the Inevitables from Manual of the Planes; Zelekhuts, Kolyaruts, and Maruts.

CN has the Slaadi

LE has the Devils, or baatezu (of all the various varieties)

NE the Daemons, or Yugoloths

CE the demons, or tanar'ri

N has the Dabus??

Is it just me or have True Neutral outsiders been a bit neglected?

Who serves the god of knowledge, or the goddess of fate? Who is summoned when the Priest of Time calls to his god?

My DM has suggested Einherar, that is the former worshippers of the god. I am soliciting opinions from any and all interested in this issue

Intelligent elementals?

I often feel that most alignments got ripped off in terms of the creatures that serve them. There's just too much uniformity and no real tailoring to the needs of a diety.

Maybe the true nuetral just pilfer the followers from other planes as they need them?

In 2e, the True Neutral outsider race was the Rilmani. You could look at www.ps3e.com for a conversion.

 

[tleilaxu]

Yeah, Dabus, Rilmani, whatever. But the Rilmani were very specific and plus there was only one variety as opposed to the legions of demons and devils.

We need more outsiders!

 

[arwink]

two of the ephemera in MotP are neutral.

And you could always extrapolate the arcane/mercane (whatever they are now, the extradimensional traders) into Neural allies. They may not be able to do it for you, but it's a fair bet they can manipulate someone into doing your bidding.

I agree we need more though. Time to think on this for a bit.

 

[Zappo]

There were several varieties of Rimani, actually. At least four, but probably more IIRC. I've never actually used them; they are reclusive and seldom seen.

 

[tleilaxu]

More!

 

[Nightfall]

I believe Soul Guardians can be TN. They are in CC2.

 

[Deedlit]

It depends greatly on the deity. Nature deities like Beory and Obad-Hai can call on extra-planar fey, and elementals. I have no clue for gods of magic though, or travel gods like celestian.

i know I'm not the only priest of Istus.
