[QUOTE="Pauper, post: 7277325, member: 17607"] This is true, but being mentioned in the sidebar is not sufficient to allow the deity to be chosen as a cleric patron -- the deity must be "listed in the [b]Deities of the Forgotten Realms[/b] and [b]Nonhuman Deities[/b] tables in the PHB or any deity listed in the resources listed in Step 1&2, above". (ALPG v7.0, p.3) Being 'listed', to my understanding, means being included on a list of deities that includes that deity's domains, and Osiris is not listed in the list of deities included in SCAG. The same rule does specify "[i]f your deity doesn't include suggested domains in the resource in which it is found, only the Life domain is available." (ALPG v7.0, p.3) However, the XGE Guidance document does reiterate to "consult the deity lists", which Osiris does not appear on. Clarification from an admin would be appreciated, as it may be that Osiris is an intended patron option for Grave domain clerics. As written, the rules and XGE Guidance document either disallow Osiris as a patron option, or restrict clerics of Osiris to the Life domain, depending on the interpretation of the DM at your table. (Edit: While I do appreciate the admins writing the rules in a generic sense so as to be applicable to future releases, I'm not sure that practice is as necessary given the structure of AL already in place -- though deity choices don't follow the +1 rule, the choice of deity is restricted to valid player resources, and there are only so many of those at the time of writing the XGE Guidance. If a later resource includes additional deities in Osiris's situation -- mentioned but not officially listed -- then those deities can be referenced in guidance published when that resource becomes AL-legal, and then consolidated into the next season's ALPG for ease of future use.) Had missed this as well. Will confirm and edit the original post accordingly. -- Pauper[/i] [/QUOTE]
