[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 678720, member: 8461"] [b]Re: Re: -[/b] I was afraid of this. I just want to point out now, that [I]Faiths and Pantheons[/I], while a mega-collection of deities, does NOT encompass the entirety of the gods that can be worshipped on the world of Abeir-Toril (the planet the [I]Forgotten Realms[/I] exists on), or even on the continent of Faerun. One of the first things to fall through the cracks due to space is racial gods of races that aren't that prevalent, including dragons. If you read [I]Draconomicon[/I] and [I]Cult of the Dragon[/I] (both 2E products; the latter of which can be freely downloaded here: [url]http://wizards.com/dnd/files/2/fr_downloads/tsr9547.zip[/url] ), you'll get the lowdown on the dragon deities on Faerun. [U]Bahamut[/U] is in there, so he [U]is indeed officially a [I]Forgotten Realms[/I] god.[/U] That said, the answer to the question of whether or not Bahamut can have paladins depends on, iirc, a few different criteria (in the most stringent sense). There was a question in a recent Sage Advice about clerics of deities of other races (sorry, I can't recall the exact issue...302, 202 maybe?), and as an aside, the Sage mentions (iirc) that other deities can have paladins of the character is LG, and the god is of the right alignment (LN, LG, NG). So that should be okay since Bahamut is LG himself. [I]Deities & Demigods[/I] has the stipulation that gods can only grant divine spells beyond cleric (e.g. Druid, Ranger, and Paladin spells) if the deity has at least one level in any of those classes themselves. I don't recall what classes Bahamut had, if any (or if he was even in the book!) however. Note that if Bahamut thusly cannot grant Paladin spells, it doesn't mean that you can't have a Paladin dedicated to Bahamut, it just means that that Paladin worships Bahamut, but is getting his spells from some other source (where is up to your DM). Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
