I don't have Deities and Demigod or even a way to get it, I've searching for 2 weeks now and found nothing that explains the rules of portfolio. Any help would be appreciated. Note: I understand everything els, it just this portfolio stuff that isn't written anywhere.

A portfolio is like the spheres of influence that a deity has control over.

Eg. Lathander in the FR has a Portfolio of: Spring, dawn, birth, renewal, creativity, youth... ect.

Hope that helps :D

As much as I would love to it does, I got that already, and need to understand the rules for making godly portfolios.
Sorry if I wasn't clear.

I don't think there's any specific rules regarding portfoilio making, you just pick out options that best fit the deities purpose. This can get a little hazy since a couple of options (such as what items a deity can automatically make) are based on the portfoilio.

The order that they advise you make dieeties up is sort of like this.

Concept
Portfolio
Domains.

IE decide on your god, say Mu-chkeen, god of unbalanced gaming.

Assign him any portfolio elements that fit, there is no limit save common sence, say min-maxing, loaded dice, kobots, obscure 3rd party material and missprints.

Then assing domains that best reflect that portfolio.
