05-24-07, 08:12 PM Because the make your own cool dieites dosnt do that anymore, AND under the advise of some other people that are cool, I decided to Post my homeade gods stats.

This leads me to a question that I would like answered. Why do people post origonal Ideas on the threads? I do it and I love it when others do, I just havent figured out why. here are my ideas:

1) we like having our ideas seen. Probibly most likely suggestion.

2) We need acnowledgement of our skillz. Only for losers like myself.

3) gradification of our effors. (this might be the same as 2...)

Anyway, Im just the weird kinda guy who asks himself a lot of wired questions and likes to delve into the human illithid food.

SO, for those who care, here (in Dieties and Demigods format) is my god.

By the way, I know that Obid-Hai or whatever has beasts under his porfolio. However, the fact that in the 3.0 setting, these are somehow seperate beings from animals (if you could explain that, that would be cool too.), I decided to make a god for exclusively animals. Like who animals worship... yeah.

Here I go.

Im posting now.

Here is silrins stats.

Right here.

Silrin
Lover of animals, Defender of the animals
Lesser Deity
Symbol: A wolf curled up peacefully on a giant green leaf
Home Plane: Beastlands
Alignment: Neutral Good
Portfolio: Animals, Beasts, Plants
Worshipers: Druids, Rangers, Anyone who loves animals, awakened animals,
Cleric Alignment: NG, CG, LG, N
Domains: Animal, Protection, Good
Favored Weapon: Claws and Teeth

The Deity of all animals and beasts, you couldn’t tell Silrin is a god by looking at him. He looks like a young male with deep brown long hair and the same color eyes. He wears a brown bear skin on his head, which goes down to his torso. He also only wears loose brown paints and no shoes. The only other piece of clothing he wares is wooden armbands on his wrist. He has teeth that are sharper than they look and long nails that radiate a brilliant yellow glow when he wants them to. His arch nemesis is Sobek, who Silrin thinks gives animals a bad name. Silrin blocks his senses and otherwise annoys and impedes Sobek in any way he can think. He encourages his worshipers to harass and destroy (preferably convert) any cult of Sobek or worshiper they can find. (Note: Silrin isn’t an Egyptian god, but in our campaign all the gods coexist, so it’s alright for a D&D god to harass an Egyptian god.) Unlike Obad-Hai, Silrin deals with animals, and Obad-Hai deals with hunting and BEASTS. Apparently, beasts and animals are different portfolios, according to Deiteis and Demigods.

Dogma
Silrin is gentle and understanding. He often appears on the material plane to talk with his worshipers or clerics. He never starts fights and almost never kills anyone, unless they are evil or hurt nature. Although his main concern is with animals, he cares considerably for plants, as they are animal’s food and homes. He himself is also curious and cheerful, and it is often said that he has the personality of a child. However, he can be frightening when he is angry, and he also can act serious if the circumstances are right. He believes all animals should be respected and loved, and that they all have souls that are worth just as much as any human soul.
Although he loves all animals and appreciates all worshipers, he only allows virgin maidens to become one of his clerics* (this is because it is often viewed that virgin women get along the best with nature and animals, as shown with unicorns). He dose not actively combat evil, but he will defend any area of wildlife (and good humanoid settlements that are respectful towards animals) from evil should it be threatened.
If a Good settlement is threatening nature, or is being disrespectful towards animals in an extreme, unintentionally or not, Silrin may send a gentle warning at first, but if they keep being ignored, then the warnings get worse and worse until Silrin has no choice but to attack. If human and animal interests are in confliction, Silrin will always take the animals side. Likewise, any evil settlement that is threatening animals will be attacked immediately.

Clergy and Temples
Silrin’s clerics all wear the same design of cloths that are given to them on the day they become clerics. They can don other cloths, but not when performing any rituals or otherwise priestly services. His temples are few and out of the way, but many times they are visited by small town leaders who ask the clerics (or druids) for animal help. They kind of act like the Humane Society for towns who ask.
Anyplace deeply infused with nature or has an abundance of animals could be considered holy ground for Silrin. Those holy grounds often attract druids, rangers, fey, and hunters who are looking for good animals to eat. Silrin doesn’t punish for hunting animals, but only if you hunt like a carnivore, so only kill for food when you or your family are hungry.
His actual Temples, however, are usually deep in forests or planes, built with wood and without doors or windows, which are replaced with holes in the wall and curtains. Visitors are usually welcomed warmly and given a place to stay. However, they are asked to spend some time with the animals to prove they are animal lovers.

Silrin’s Realm
Silrin’s realm is in the upper beastlands, hidden in a mountain range. It’s easy to get to, but several birds keep an eye on the road leading to it just in case. At the end is a paradise for all animals, in the center is a large pool and a waterfall, to the right of that is a great forest, and to the left is a meadow of flowers and grasses. The only building is a two story inn (of sorts), where travelers can stay. The whole place is a square mile nestled deep in the mountain ranges. The place attracts fays, animals, and other figures of nature as it is a potent area for nature itself. About 50% of animals who die get sent to Silrins realm, where they can ether stay or wander the beastlands. Silrin wanders the realm when he’s there, enjoying life, relaxing, playing with animals, and chatting with guests. Silrin has control of the following features in his Realm.
 Temperature
 Smells
 Noise (even talking)
 Land features and such
 Building
 Portal locations or if the place is accessible at all.
 lighting
Changing anything in the realm takes ten minutes of concentration. Usually Silrin has the temperature at a pleasant 65 degrees, has the smell of wildflowers drifting gently in the air, just so one could notice it slightly. He doesn’t usually make any noise, but he makes everything silent if he has something he wants to say, and a large trumpet goes of if an animal dies in his realm. Silrin has one portal to the astral plane in a cave in the side of a rock wall behind the waterfall. Wolves, bears, and boars patrol entrance, to make sure nothing evil gets in. Otherwise, the cave is well lit and cool. It is also where he keeps any treasure or such he finds, but it’s hidden in an air pocket, so he has to physically change the cave itself to get access to it.

*Silrin still grants spells to male druids, rangers, and the like

Special: Silrin has a lot of rules, but a few have exceptions:
1) a male who is granted sainthood by Silrin can start taking class levels in cleric.
2) In addition, clerics of Silrin my wed, but ONLY to saints of Silrin.

Boy, this is a long thread so far. Sorry.

Anyway, Opinions, answers, and the like are all okay. And hay, if you want to post a god or whatever, go ahead. Anyway, on a final note, Silrin has a few things (like magic claws and a divine specal ability) that seem... unfair, thats the best word for it, i guess. Anyway, thats because Silrin has been in my head long before I played D&D, so I wanted him to be as close to the origonal Idea as possible. Plus, I think that Dieties have some leway on their powers, that arnt just limited to their savent abilites.

Thanks.

05-25-07, 03:14 PM I'm not a good critiquer of gods (I tend to dislike messing with canon and all that, unless its me doing it. Go hypocrisy!), so I'll stick to the rest:

We put things up on the boards for two reasons, in my opinion:
1) To get a critique (Is it balanced, is it good, is is a nice idea, and so forth).
2) In the hope that just one other person, who you don't know outside of here, anywhere in the world, will use that thing you made, be it god, class, item, spells, race or anything. Because that is the ultimate proof someone else cares about it.

Also my take on the animals/beast thing is this (bear in mind though, I don't have deities and demigods, so I'm working off my head), is that animals are animals, while beasts... are the things who plough up trees, rip apart prey and are genrally feared by everythnig about them with sense.
The alternaive view of mine is also that beasts are the weird, extraordinary things that inhabit D&D. So here Silrin gets foxes, rabbits and the like, Obad-hai gets trolls, and so forth.

I never thought of 2. That might be it.

And your idea on the animal-beast thing, I like it and it makes sense.

Any other opinons and answers or gods or whatever welcomed! (it is a thread of many things, after all.)

Plus, I think that Dieties have some leway on their powers, that arnt just limited to their savent abilites. Thanks.

Go hypocrisy!), so I'll stick to the rest: We put things up on the boards for two reasons, in my opinion: 1) To get a critique (Is it balanced, is it good, is is a nice idea, and so forth). 2) In the hope that just one other person, who you don't know outside of here, anywhere in the world, will use that thing you made, be it god, class, item, spells, race or anything. Because that is the ultimate proof someone else cares about it. Also my take on the animals/beast thing is this (bear in mind though, I don't have deities and demigods, so I'm working off my head), is that animals are animals, while beasts... are the things who plough up trees, rip apart prey and are genrally feared by everythnig about them with sense. The alternaive view of mine is also that beasts are the weird, extraordinary things that inhabit D&D. So here Silrin gets foxes, rabbits and the like, Obad-hai gets trolls, and so forth.

I never thought of 2. That might be it. And your idea on the animal-beast thing, I like it and it makes sense. Any other opinons and answers or gods or whatever welcomed! (it is a thread of many things, after all.)
