Um, I seem to recall reading - in more than one place - that Takhisis is another name for Tiamat, and Palantine is another name for Bahamut. They are different names for the same beings. So no 'conversion' or 'cross' is necessary to state that Tiamat is Takhesis. And Palantine as Elminster?! 1) Elminster is not a deity. In fact, he was offered divinity by an overgod and chose to turn it down. And 2) Elminster is borderline insane (at least that is what his creator - Ed G. - has said on more than one occation). Somehow that doesn't compute well with Palantine. Also, isn't Palantine LG? Elminster is not Lawful. He is Good, as I recall, but by no stretch of the definition is he Lawful. (Not that he is Chaotic; he's just a good example of being right on the line between the two.)

Fizban = pretty much the only presentation of Paladine I've seen. Fizban and Elminster serve the same story roles, not quite fully there powerful wizards on the side of good who spur the adventurers on. I feel it is a good fit :)

This has absolutely nothing to do with the thread, but for whatever reason I read the title as "Cross Diet-y Lists."

Looking at my original subject title, I misspelled "Deity".

Let me see if I can fix it.
 

See now, I honestly wasn't even referring to the typo. I didn't consciously notice a typo. I just saw "diet-y" and figured it had something to do with adventurers reducing their carb intake. :cool:
