Seeking help with chosen

[Kalen_Darkstar]

Okay in the fr campaign setting there is a small bit on chosen of mystra. And there are characters that are chosen of other gods in that book. I was wondering are there a set of rules/guidelines for creating chosen for gods other than mystra? If so i would appreciate any help.

Just to be clear, the sidebar Myster Man is referencing here just lists the Chosen of Mystra template, as near as I can tell, and doesn't at all talk about other Chosen.

There are other Chosen obliquely mentioned in the FRCS, but don't expect stats or even a major listing...the few references are very oblique, often not even mentioning that they are Chosen at all. The major exception to this is Fzoul Chembyrl, the Chosen of Bane, on page 163. Also, the Chosen of Deneir is listed here: http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/fr/deneir

Other than the Chosen of Mystra template in the FRCS, and the one linked above for Denier, there aren't any Chosen templates (I had thought I saw one for Bane's Chosen, but I can't find it now).

There are no guidelines at all for determining another deity's Chosen. Some deity's lavish power on their Chosen (like Mystra) others give theirs any power at all (like Cyric). It's pretty much totally free-form.

As an aside, here's a list of Chosen I've compiled...this list isn't annotated, but it has all the known Chosen to date from various FR novels and products:

Mystra: Elminster, Khelben Arunsun, Storm Silverhand, Dove Falconhand, Alustriel Silverhand, Sylune Silverhand, Laeral Silverhand, The Simbul, Qilue Veladorn, Noumea Drathchuld, Alvaerele Tasundrym, Srinshee, Nadrathen (deceased), and Embrae Aloevan (deceased). Sammaster was formerly a Chosen of Mystra, but had his Chosen status revoked.

Iyachtu Xvim (deceased deity): Fzoul Chembryl.

Bane: Fzoul Chembryl (Fzoul seamlessly transferred from being Xvim's Chosen to Bane's when Bane returned, killing Xvim in the process).

Talona: The Rotting Man.

Silvanus: Shinthala Deepcrest, Lady Shadowmoon, Ashenford Torinbow (these three are the Elder Circle of the Emerald Enclave, and are the Chosen of Silvanus, Eldath, and Mielikki all at once).

Eldath: Shinthala Deepcrest, Lady Shadowmoon, Ashenford Torinbow (these three are the Elder Circle of the Emerald Enclave, and are the Chosen of Silvanus, Eldath, and Mielikki all at once).

Mielikki: Jeryth Phaulkon, Shinthala Deepcrest, Lady Shadowmoon, Ashenford Torinbow (these last three are the Elder Circle of the Emerald Enclave, and are the Chosen of Silvanus, Eldath, and Mielikki all at once).

Deneir: Cadderly Bonaduce.

Eilistraee: Qilue Veladorn (Chosen of two deities at once).

Mask: Avner of Hartsvale.

Shar: All details about Shar's Chosen (beyond the fact that one exists) are unknown.

Umberlee: Slarkrethel.

Cyric: Malik el Sami yn Nasser.

Ubtao: (there is some controversy over whether Ubtao's Bara are also Chosen. I list them here for completeness) Alisanda Rayburton, Dhlamass Rayburton, Ras Nsi, Fipya, Kwalu, Mainu, Ossaw I, T'fima (T'fima had his status as a Bara revoked centuries ago).

Sehanine Moonbow: Embrae Aloevan (deceased; she, like Qilue, was Chosen of two deities at once).

Labelas Enoreth: Vartan Hai Sylver.

Gilgeam (deceased deity): Lord Shuruppak.

Lolth: Liriel Baenre (Liriel has since had her Chosen status revoked).
