Any deities with Longspear as a Favored Weapon? Did a quick search and found Vathris, LN demigod of anguish, lost causes, revenge? Thinking of playing a Favored Soul focused in Longspear in case my Healer dies in a World's Largest Dungeon campaign. Anguish, lost causes and revenge might just fit perfectly though! ;) Anyone know of any others?

Gruumsh, but I doubt you would want to worship him.

Thanks! That really helps!

I think Vathris looks like the best choice. I looked over Angharradh in the Elven Netbook, and she doesn't quite fit. Spose I could be a Human and work in Ruathar as a Moon Elf, but that's just a flavor and backstory thing.

Ares maybe? He was the god of war of the greeks, and the hoplites used spears a lot....

I've kinda got 2 ideas going at once here. On one hand, I have a Vathris build, based on revenge, going Contemplative with the Destruction domain and focusing more on battle. On the other hand, I have an Angharradh build, focusing on Healing, maybe with Ruathar, Seeker of the Misty Isle and possibly Sacred Exorcist and Contemplative too.

Anyone know the domains available to Angharradh? I guess that would be the deciding factor.

Angharradh's domains are Chaos, Elf, Good, Knowledge, Plant, Protection, and Renewal.

What are Talos's domains? This build sounds like something I can use in an upcoming game, if the domains are right ;)

This is what I found: Chaos, Evil, Destruction, Fire

In the Forgotten Realms, he also grants access to the Storm domain, which gets reprinted in the Spell Compendium.
