And I told the players "I'm making my own setting, but I'm being very relaxed about it. I'm not going to overtly decide on all the gods. So, you want to be a paladin or cleric? Pitch me a god." So a player took me up on the offer. He picked paladin, turned to me, and said "I want to worship Yog Sothoth." I grinned. I can work with that. Especially for my campaign. Besides, the notion amuses me to no end.The character is not being open about his faith, for obvious reasons, but I've made Yog Sothoth fairly obscure. The player looked up Yog and discerned that Yog, among other things, is associated with the element fire; I can work with that too.However, the Player asked, "So... what are my rituals/tenants? When I pray, what do I do?" And I think I should add to that question, "What is my code as a Paladin".  Any suggestions out there, oh ye who are familiar with the Mythos? I did three things with Yog Sothoth:1) Link <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/magic/incantations.htm#callForththeDweller" target="_blank">The Dweller of Thresholds</a> to Yog Sothoth, and even gave the character a scroll capable of summoning the Dweller (when he's later in level). 2) Yog Sothoth does not like demons. Demons are tainted elementals, fire and the raw energies of free form that have been corrupted and warped, bent on the undoing of existance. And since Yog is in existence, well that can't be useful. Yog seeks to Purify the once-elementals of their corruption.3) Sothoth doesn't like Dagon (and by extension, Demogorgon).</blockquote>
