[QUOTE="Amphytrion, post: 9714655, member: 7046181"] Sincere thanks to all and everyone who responded, it's deeply appreciated. I've started from the roster that [USER=7042229]@GreatestHonor[/USER] kindly provided and worked from there. I agree with [USER=7035309]@Derthwen[/USER]'s suggestion to include Bahamut and Tiamat, as they (a) are iconic, at this point, (b) are the dragonborn's natural choices, and (c) do a lot of heavy lifting, since Bahamut covers all Lawful Good concepts all on his own. As for Garl Glittergold, I think I'll keep him, both because he is whimsical deity of humor, but also because he covers a lot of ground as well with his portfolios of luck, gems, and trickery. This doesn't mean I'm writing out Gond entirely, but I think Garl is a mainstay. Maybe in this version of FR, Tymora and Beshaba (or Tyche, their predecessor) are the famed daughters that fled the Golden Hills. This is good advice and important to keep in mind for this, as the divine relationships can play a role in the piety system and are also fun to play with. I like this, and intend to make use of all these 4e aspects (X god is also Y racial god), for a few reasons: (1) I want to keep the number of "main" gods manageable, (2) I want to avoid gods that are too similar, and (3) it increases the number of divine relationships, which ties thing together. Gruumsh has something with Corellon and Maglubiyet and not much else going on, but if Gruumsh is also Talos, I can use relationships from both aspects. To my knowledge, 4e's explicit aspects were: Chauntea = Yondalla, Selûne = Sehanine Moonbow, Sune = Hanali Celanil, Talos = Gruumsh. I don't mean to go crazy with it, but I think I can stretch that so that the exuberant elven god of the sun is also the main exuberant god of the dawn (Lathander = Corellon) and that the oppressive goblinoid god of tyranny is also the main god of tyranny (Maglubiyet = Bane). This looks amazing, many thanks for posting! It's an excellent take on diversifying the boons as well, and I may model my Tiamat's page on this one. If you don't mind me asking, what is this Tiamat project of yours? [USER=7040041]@plecostomus[/USER], my players are not BG3 players but I very much appreciate your list and link, it gives some context to what deities they thought useful to include. I also appreciate the shoutout to the [I]Dragonlance Companion[/I], which I happen to own (in POD, no less!), but had completely forgotten about. I will certainly make use of Paladine and Takhisis's write-ups there and maybe some others as well. I'll write up a preliminary list now and post here soon on a separate comment. [/QUOTE]
