Your PC is a cleric: what deity do you revere?

[Saben]

Without worrying about gameplay mechanics- Erathis. It'd be great fun to play a morally bankrupt Cleric who cares more about rules and social order than "good".

Bahamut is cliche, the Raven Queen is boring (death is inevitable- ooooooo). Erathis is the god of capitalism, the god of democracy, the god of power!

Erathis! Why all the Raven Queen love?

I've found that mechanically, her Channel Divinity feat is probably one of the easier to use, at least for my battle cleric, who does quite a bit of smackdownage.

And otherwise she's just cool. Possibly over emo in a year or so, but cool right now.

I love the Raven Queen, I've always been with Pelor in the past as he was the ideal God for smiting undead. Now in fourth Ed I have a god who is just about killing undead, no extra bits about agriculture and fostering life. Nope just good old fashion killing undead. I especially enjoy the idea of my priest preforming funeral rites specifically formed to keep the dead dead.

So Erathis is the god of what non-religious people do anyway? That's real exciting.

Personally I find the idea of intimate acceptance and celebration of death's inevitability to be pretty interesting. It's so contrary to the nearly-universal human impulse of trying to stave off death as long as possible.

I actually played a character in Exalted once who had a very Raven Queenish view of things. (She was a Chosen of Endings, naturally.) Hm, maybe I should try to re-imagine her as a D&D cleric instead of an Exalted kung-fu surgeon-undertaker-bureaucrat.

Asmodeus! Lord of this world!

or

Iä iä Dagon! You sexy fish!

Thumis or Karakan, ideally. Although Ksarul whispers to me in my dreams.

My character is a dragonborn ranger, but I thought I'd take part in the quiz anyway. Bahamut btw.

I don't mind the Raven Queen- "True Neutral" style deities are usually my second favourite to "Lawful Neutral" deities, and accepting death, and embracing temporariness of life is a decent idea- I like the Raven Queen, but just not playing a Raven Queen Cleric. Playing such an emo character isn't my idea of a good time:

Player 1: We must retreat there are too many!
Cleric: What's the point, we'll all die eventually anyway...
Other Players: /depressed

Notice that a cleric can revere more than one deity.

Yeah, of course, but... that means he can pick many channel divinity feats, right?
