01-24-08, 06:52 PM Using the Deities and Demigods basis (which, incidentally, I dislike):

Condsidering that Cyamides (the god of beans) had only one small shrine by the side of the road, I would expect him to be only a Rank 0 quasi-deity. Druid 20 on a 32-point buy might be sufficient.

Iris, being middlingly important for a minor deity (in the Iliad, she seems to be Zeus' herald), would probably be a Rank 3 demigod. Her domains could include Travel, Sky, and Herald. Good SDAs for her are Divine Air Mastery, Divine Celerity, Divine Recall (she's somehow able to perfectly memorize forty-line speeches after hearing them once), and Free Move. Statwise, I'd peg her as a Beguiler 20/Elocator 20, or perhaps Beguiler 20/Monk 20, on the standard divine array.

Hope that helps.

01-25-08, 06:15 PM thanks for the input about the stats for these dieties,now what domains do you think they should have?

01-25-08, 07:03 PM Iris: Travel and Sky are good. Is there a Color domain?

Cyamides: Plant is the only one that comes to mind. He shouldn't have that many.

Applying alignment domains to the traditional Greek gods is nonsensical.
