Santa Claus:

Santa Claus is a neutral good demi god who is chosen from among mortal men once every two hundred years. Only a human can be Santa, and as far as memory goes they have all been male. During thw winter soltace Santa will traverse the world in his sleigh giving gifts to all the destitude children of the world who are of good alignment. Other children either don't need or haven't earned his gifts. Somehow through his magic he is able to do this all within the single night that makes the longest night of the year in the dead of winter.

As a demi god Santa is under another deity. The deity in question should be very strongly keyed to good and have some connection to renewal, forgiveness, and or second chances along with poverty and helping those in need. In the core rules, Santa comes under Pelor or Yondalla.

Santa's clerics can only be elves, half-elves, gnomes, and halflings. They get to choose from the domains Good, Healing, Magic, Protection, and Travel. At least one choice must be either good or travel. Santa's clerics are also under a vow to do no harm or evil and their magic will fail if they attempt to do so. Some DMs might want to consider letting these clerics have three domains as a result of this vow - if such is done the cleric should also lose all weapon proficiencies -even simple- and gain Wild Empathy at will with reindeer. I have no idea if that idea is balanced, but it sounds about right.

Nobody actually worships Santa, he is seen as a saint to the deity he comes under, and his clerics sole purpose is to assist in the collection or manufacture of the toys as well as their distribution. They also seek new Santas every two hundred years.

Snottiness doesn't preclude Goodness.

Look at any number of Paladins for examples :)

She was obviously Gooder than you :)

Dear Santa,

Thank you for the coal. You should have stayed for the barbecue. Blitzen was delicious, especially with that peppermint jelly sauce.

Sincerly,
Lola


Ok, somebody stat Rudolph now.
 


Some say Santa Claus' came into being through the intervention of another powerful, possibly divine force known as Coca-Cola. The alignment and motives of this entity are unknown.

No, but richness does preclude destitution. So I still should have gotten better loot. I want justice!

Maybe I can find a vampire to bite Santa and level drain him. Yeah, that's it. On the other hand, Lola's barbeque sounds good too.
 


hmm i can see it now...8th level gnomish paladin of Saint Nic, with my bonded Reindeer and bag of holding. Ooh and vow of pacifism from BoED...
