Faithkeep 03-25-07, 07:09 AM	I just wanted to see which deity has the most "worshippers" on these boards. :D So who's your favorite and why? :)
Janusunaj 03-25-07, 07:24 AM	Pelor. I don't know why. Maybe because I get a woody whenever I hear the word "omnipotent."
Khael 03-25-07, 07:37 AM	Ted the 'flayer. Because nothing can best a god of background horrors and fry-ups.
Faithkeep 03-25-07, 08:01 AM	Lol... I'm more of a Pelor kinda guy too but I haven't decided yet between him and Cuthbert. :)
DMaster42 03-25-07, 08:08 AM	Contradictus, God of Atheists. Definitely.
Anubis.c.k 03-25-07, 08:35 AM	Anubis
Zalakhiel 03-25-07, 08:36 AM	I will go for Heironeous. He is one good fellow. And his daughter is quite a nice one too! ;)
Faithkeep 03-25-07, 10:28 AM	Heironeous has more domains than Pelor... and the Archpaladin is an intermediate deity while the Shining One is a greater. Lol. I wonder why. :D I'm still trying to really understand the flavor of the Church of Pelor. I don't know why but I can't find an "image" that captures his religion. But I love his holy symbol. :D
spncrbrrtt 03-25-07, 10:34 AM	Either Bane or Ishtia (goddess of the sea). just because I can.
Faithkeep 03-25-07, 10:37 AM	Kewl... Travel and Ocean. :D Fharlanghn is nice too... I love his Travel and Luck domains. :D But his church doesn't seem that organized or structured. But hey... you can find shrines of him everywhere. :D
Treymordin 03-25-07, 10:54 AM	Pholtus of the Blinding Light!
Infinitum 03-25-07, 11:08 AM	Nerull the Reaper.
Faithkeep 03-25-07, 11:16 AM	Ohh... Trickery and Death are nice too. :)
Krugg 03-25-07, 11:41 AM	Kurtulmak is awesome, and has, by far, one of the coolest backstories ever (see Races of the Dragon). But Helm and St. Cuthbert are both awesome. And, of course, Blibdoolpoolp, for having the best name ever.
Richmud 03-25-07, 11:48 AM	I'm a big fan of the Olidammara. Trickster gods are always fun and the Laughing Rogue is no exception. Besides armadillos are just plain cool
Tusalu 03-25-07, 11:51 AM	Olidammara
Raymond_Luxury_Yacht 03-25-07, 11:52 AM	Ted the 'flayer. Because nothing can best a god of background horrors and fry-ups. What he said.
Faithkeep 03-25-07, 11:58 AM	Now I know who Ted is. :D Lol. Anyone else likes Fharlanghn? :D He's great 'coz of his domains. :)
Aryxbez 03-25-07, 12:07 PM	I like Thor, because he is awesome, the god of thunder and all. Also like how ingenious Hades is, because he tricks his worshipers into wielding longswords, so if they fight him,They find out Hades actually wields a Bastard Sword. Now that is unique if you ask me.
Infinitum 03-25-07, 12:29 PM	Death is inevitable, you will all suffer at the hands of the Hater of All Life. He is the true lord of the realms.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-25-07, 12:32 PM	Heironeous has more domains than Pelor... and the Archpaladin is an intermediate deity while the Shining One is a greater. Lol. I wonder why. :D I'm still trying to really understand the flavor of the Church of Pelor. I don't know why but I can't find an "image" that captures his religion. But I love his holy symbol. :D The image is huge! I can't believe you can't find one. He is god of the commoners in the basic game. One of his holy rites it casting create water and then bless water over a farmers crops. He also has a huge crusading aspect. I mean, his church is the embodiment of turning undead. He is also the only basic god that has the Healing domain. that alone should be a great idea of what Pelor is all about. Lol... I'm more of a Pelor kinda guy too but I haven't decided yet between him and Cuthbert. :) Cuthbert sucks. Supposedly he was mortal, but according to the Devil only book (Can't remember name), he was around, and even supported, the devils. Doesn't soud like a "good" (yes I know he is LN, but all I've seen is a LG adaption of him... ever.) god to follow. I hope everyone has noticed I have not once called him a saint. That is because he isn't one. Pelor. I don't know why. Maybe because I get a woody whenever I hear the word "omnipotent." Yeah pretty much.
Infinitum 03-25-07, 12:35 PM	I'm hijacking this thread. What god do you think has the best domains/domain spells/powers?
Richmud 03-25-07, 12:46 PM	Cuthbert sucks. Supposedly he was mortal, but according to the Devil only book (Can't remember name), he was around, and even supported, the devils. Doesn't soud like a "good" (yes I know he is LN, but all I've seen is a LG adaption of him... ever.) god to follow. I hope everyone has noticed I have not once called him a saint. That is because he isn't one. Yes, because devil propaganda is the very best place to get information on the good deities. Beyond that this happened when it was law vs chaos before good and evil became separate sides
BreegJac17 03-25-07, 12:58 PM	Not to throw this off topic but Istishia is a Dude But for my favorite it has to go with Silvanus, just cuz', and Gargauth. He was thrown out of hell because he was too evil....:eek:
Faithkeep 03-25-07, 12:59 PM	The image is huge! I can't believe you can't find one. He is god of the commoners in the basic game.

He is also the only basic god that has the Healing domain. that alone should be a great idea of what Pelor is all about. I know... maybe it's because of the fact that the image is so huge that it has so many aspects... and maybe that's why I kinda find it a bit "blurry" in a sense. But don't worry, I'm sure it's just me and the way I see things. :D
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-25-07, 01:03 PM	Yes, because devil propaganda is the very best place to get information on the good deities. Beyond that this happened when it was law vs chaos before good and evil became separate sides First off, yes, devil "propoganda" is a great way to get information. This way you can learn the way th enemy thinks. Also, being lawful, they will not strech the truth. Yes there is a margin for error, with them being evil, but I believe the Asmodeous Times to be a very reputable newspaper; at least compared to The Abyssal Post. And actually, there were good and evil. That's why the gods didn't like the devils, even though they were on the same team. And besides, this was long before the mortals came about. Therefore Cuthbert wasn't a mortal. This might sound "evil" but I will believe a devil any day before I listen to a "god" that was ascended from mortality. Howcome we never hear about his wonderous deeds? I say we rise up agasinst the LNeutrality of the Cuthbert church. Rise up, join me commrades. We shall be victorious. Or not.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-25-07, 01:04 PM	But don't worry, I'm sure it's just me and the way I see things. :D Infidel

Zicka 03-25-07, 01:34 PM	I give my vote to the holy trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit!
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-25-07, 01:35 PM	I give my vote to the holy trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit! Well if we're going for real world gods, then my vote also goes to the holy tinity: Meatballs, Sauce, and Holy Noodle. Praises be to the FSM
kirellagen 03-25-07, 01:38 PM	Kord, cuz nothing says "heaven" like a raging cleric.
MrCelsius 03-25-07, 01:40 PM	I'm fond of Lastai. Who doesn't love kinky sects? ;) Chaav's right up there too, just because the Laughing Buddha is my favourite religious figure ever.
Banatine 03-25-07, 02:07 PM	I have to go for Bahamut, but that's probably because i have an unhealthy obsession with dragons.
lord_zack 03-25-07, 07:39 PM	I'd also have to give my vote to God (as in the Hebrew one, though he's also the God of everything else as well).
mikeloop86 03-25-07, 07:55 PM	Bow before the slain godslayer, his darkness, TENEBROUS!!
Raymond_Luxury_Yacht 03-25-07, 08:05 PM	Can I change my vote to Raptor Jesus? Raptor Jesus is awesome.
Cormanthor 03-25-07, 08:07 PM	Forgotten Realms and Planescape : Mystra Ravenloft : Ezra Dragonlance : Mishakal Dark Sun : Kalak of Tyr (never played a Templar though) Specialist priests of the 2nd edition ruled !
Infinitum 03-25-07, 08:07 PM	Can I change my vote to Raptor Jesus? Raptor Jesus is awesome. No, you may only worship Nerull. All hail the Dark Lord, Scourge of All Life.
Orodruin 03-25-07, 08:45 PM	No, you may only worship Nerull. All hail the Dark Lord, Scourge of All Life. I totally agree! Nerull's face is a fleshless skull, but he can still grow his hair and beard. That alone makes him worthy of worship! Not even Skeletor can do that!
Dragonprime 03-25-07, 09:04 PM	Cas from Heroes of Horror. He's the god of vengeance and is a moose-headed human who wields a bloody mace. What more could anyone want? LORD OF SPITE WILL OWN ALL!
Starmage21 03-25-07, 09:26 PM	I totally agree! Nerull's face is a fleshless skull, but he can still grow his hair and beard. That alone makes him worthy of worship! Not even Skeletor can do that! ROFLCOPTER
Alpha_Moose 03-25-07, 10:07 PM	Can I change my vote to Raptor Jesus? Raptor Jesus is awesome. Dude, just imagine a baby Raptor Jesus. I'd go with Thor, because he is the hero deity. He actually goes out and has adventures! Most just send some proxy or an avatar. That or Orlorin. He sorta counts as a god, right?
TheOinodaemon 03-26-07, 03:51 AM	Tzeentch... Crap, wrong world, actually Io. Way to obssessed with dragons
Azar_of_Faerun 03-26-07, 04:11 AM	Tempus, the god who could kick Ares's and Kord's asses simultaneously and still be ready for more.
Faithkeep 03-26-07, 07:13 AM	Infidel What the hell is wrong with you? Hahahah :D
Spinal_Tap 03-26-07, 07:47 AM	Greyhawk: St. Cuthbert Forgotten Realms: Ellistrae Dragonlance: Habbakuk Real world mythology: Marduk
Ront Iron-Roar 03-26-07, 08:11 AM	I like the Dark Six. Even if thier not really real in Eberron I just love how malleable they can be story wise and the various aspects they represent. Other then that I guess its Tempus....since its something I yell to my friend everyday I see him from a distance.
Faithkeep 03-26-07, 10:12 AM	Okay, I think I've decided. Pelor is great too but I have some issues about his alignment 'coz I'm really more of a Lawful Neutral kind of guy. So I'm for Saint Cuthbert of the Cudgel. :) I think they're friends anyway. :D
Witch 03-26-07, 10:15 AM	I'll go for Raptor Jesus too. Failing that, I'll pick Special K. Just because he's cool and can bully Asmodeus arond.
Sorcen_Anenooata 03-26-07, 10:17 AM	Tenebrous, the godslayer. The Last Word is just awesome. In my campaigns: Aya Vampress- Goddess of vampires and Queen of Baator And Sorcen Anenooata- The half-god son of Tiamat and now ruler of Baator. He has some worshippers but doesnt focus much on his god status because he's more than slightly theocidal.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-26-07, 10:26 AM	What the hell is wrong with you? Hahahah :D sigged Okay, I think I've decided.

Toran_A_Sunder 03-26-07, 11:19 AM	See, while all these gods are cool, I'm going to have to go with Fizban. God of kender! And for the record, while raptor Jesus is pretty cool, no one compares to ROCKET JESUS! DELIVERING MIRACLES AT THE SPEED OF SOUND. IT'S ROCKET JESUS! HOLY WATER? I THINK NOT! IT'S HOLY JET FUEL! ROCKET JESUS! RETREAT EVIL ROBOTIC PAUL BUNYON! YOU'RE GIANT WILES CANNOT WITHSTAND THE AWESOME, MEGATON POWER OF ROCKET JESUS!
Khael 03-26-07, 11:34 AM	AND WHO IS TED???? Say it be not so, one knows not of Ted, chosen diety of the board? By which I mean the deity we made, and reference to whom is pretty much only here. See my sig. under gods. And Sorcen, I find it quite funny how your favourite 'god' is a demon given your normal favoured fiend of choice...
Faithkeep 03-26-07, 12:09 PM	Ted is like Asmodeus. You don't need to worship him for him to be strong. :tie:
Khael 03-26-07, 12:19 PM	I know this to be true, I helped make him, so i've read the write-up. Unfortunally for the original idea the above is true(I came up with the fry-up part, the original creator was not amused by this, but it caught on...).
Faithkeep 03-26-07, 02:09 PM	I see. :) Good job then. :D
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-26-07, 02:16 PM	I see. :) Good job then. :D No, Faithkeep! You don't get to talk. You've been a bad cleric; going off and worshipping tat bad seed Cuthbert. You know, I've heard he supported the devils. I think you need to go think about that. I'll set you up with a much better god... Pelor maybe. But seriously, good job Khael.
JulesCARV 03-26-07, 02:19 PM	Greyhawk: Rao. Eberron: Kol Korran.
Faithkeep 03-26-07, 02:23 PM	No, Faithkeep! You don't get to talk. You've been a bad cleric; going off and worshipping tat bad seed Cuthbert. You know, I've heard he supported the devils. I think you need to go think about that. I'll set you up with a much better god... Pelor maybe. :eek: Heeeeey... Cuthbert is cool! He's got a crumpled hat that hates lies and a mace that gives of ouchie rays of light! :D And he did not support the devils! :tantrum: He supported the Truth! :dancin: But hey... who knows? I might become a Pelorite once he starts accepting neutral aligned clerics. :D
crimsonwolf 03-26-07, 02:26 PM	I give my vote to the holy trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit! OGRE SMASH ya dont bring r/l stuff into r/p alot of threds get burned down becuse of it oh ya hail lucifer:schemes: :invasion: :behold:

Arturius1 03-26-07, 03:59 PM	Gotta go with Bahamut. If you take all the divine abilities away from all the gods, the platinum dragon will rip through them like a breath weapon through tissue. Oh, and on St. Cuthbert. All the lawful deities supported Asmodeus, as they weren't aware of his dubious intentions. Moradin, Yondalla, Heironeous, and (most likely) Bahamut would all be implicated right alongside of Cuthbert. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." In this case, it's good gods.
obrysii 03-26-07, 04:26 PM	Since we aren't doing real-life religions (that'd be a quick way to a locked thread) ... In DnD: Io the Ninefold Dragon. Argueably the Creator. He's just cool. In Homebrew: Elek, the Defender of Mankind, the Angel of Death, and the Retainer of the Divine Spark
crimsonwolf 03-26-07, 05:12 PM	Stick with the classics. Thor. And agree RW religeons are off limits. thor is r/l lol
celtredleg 03-26-07, 05:22 PM	I have seen rather few RW Thor temples lately. Perhaps I should have extended it to no longer active RW religeons. Or those with only a handfull of followers. Thought most board members would be able to catch that.
Sorcen_Anenooata 03-26-07, 05:28 PM	And Sorcen, I find it quite funny how your favourite 'god' is a demon given your normal favoured fiend of choice... Aye, although I am an avid ally of Asmodeus-ancestors, I do have a great deal of respect and admiration for Orcus/Tenebrous.

Frater_95 03-26-07, 06:02 PM	The Ruby Sorceress, with Hextor in a close second. I'd love to play a LN cleric who follows (but is not affiliated with the priesthoods of) both of them, but I don't know what domain besides Law would be best.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-26-07, 07:59 PM	Why don't you try to convert me then? :D How is Pelor such a great god? :thinks: Or maybe I'll just go back to worshipping Fharlanghn. :rofl: I've given you all the great reasons! Reason 1: Pelor is god of common people. In real life, you are most likly a "commoner," therefore, according to his discription, you already worship him. I mean your a commoner. You have no free will. Reason 2: Pelor is the only basic god that has the healing domain. Arguably one of the best basic domains. Reason 3: Cuthbert sucks. Reason 4: So do all of the other gods/godesses.
Zicka 03-26-07, 08:18 PM	We do have the holy trinity in our campaign. LOSER!
Syn_Exelian 03-26-07, 08:30 PM	I just don't think you can beat a god that acts like an annoying child, Olidammara is my man... being... thing.

I'd love to play a LN cleric who follows (but is not affiliated with the priesthoods of) both of them, but I don't know what domain besides Law would be best.I always loved the idea of playing a paladin of Wee Jas. You'd be within one step of her alignment, since she's LN. Might be fun. You could be a creepy, evil-looking paladin in black and red armor etc.

Wall 03-26-07, 10:43 PM	Ooh, toughy here. Let's see. Greyhawk: Tritherion. I dunno, there's just something about him. Maybe it's the Liberation domain. Maybe it's his pets. Or maybe it's the fact that I picture him as a younger version of Mel Gibson in Braveheart. Forgotten Realms: Very, very tough. So many to choose. Kelemvor? Shaundakul? Hmm... I really cannot decide. Eberron/Ebberon: Another toughy. I think I'm going to have to say the Becoming God, just because I really like the flavor surrounding this guy's mystery cult. Plus, he's a construct deity. And that rocks. 3rd-Party Material: Dotrak from Dragonmech. Please, follow in Dotrak's prayer: TrakTrakTrakTrakTrakTrakTrakTrakTrakTrak TrakTrakTrakTrakTrakTrak!
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-26-07, 10:51 PM	Hmmm.... favorite god... Umm... Who is Pelor?
Faithkeep 03-27-07, 12:35 AM	I've given you all the great reasons! Reason 1: Pelor is god of common people. In real life, you are most likly a "commoner," therefore, according to his discription, you already worship him. I mean your a commoner. You have no free will. Reason 2: Pelor is the only basic god that has the healing domain. Arguably one of the best basic domains. Reason 3: Cuthbert sucks. Reason 4: So do all of the other gods/godesses. Hmm... well I have free will. :teach: And the Healing domain might be good... at first level... or if you are planning to be a Radiant Servant of Pelor (in which case would be the main reason for you to choose him... not specifically because of the healing domain which basically gives a +1 hp to your heals). :) But being basic is good... I like basic. :D And if I go Pelor, I might choose Glory and Sun domains. I don't like undead. :) For your other reasons... well. :D Since I respect other people's opinions (which includes yours - I even sigged you. Lol.) and I'm not a cleric in real life (who has Strength and Destruction domains) who would smite you with my heavy mace for insulting my god so... okay, sure. :tie: But then... I'm not convinced enough to change gods though. :D But hey... I'm admitting Pelor is good too. :dancin: I think St. Cuthbert admits Pelor is good too. :D
Ariath Ska'Vhor 03-27-07, 12:49 AM	Erythnul. If you're going to worship, make sure to worship someone who encourages smashin' heads with sticks and rocks.
MagusBlack 03-27-07, 01:04 AM	In the order of loyalty: 1.The Evening Glory 2. Asmodeus (I got a fool-proof contract to be elevated to Duke and I get a pad on the ruins of 3rd level of the Celestial Moutain, so Pelor bite me) 3. Chernobog 4. Hextor "RAY!

docballen 03-27-07, 01:48 AM	There is a picture in Deities and Demigods -- on page 89 -- of Olidammara that I could fall madly passionately into bed with. (If he were real-life. And would have me.)
Alpha_Moose 03-27-07, 01:56 AM	There is a picture in Deities and Demigods -- on page 89 -- of Olidammara that I could fall madly passionately into bed with. (If he were real-life. And would have me.) You mean this: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/dd_gallery/dd1/Olidammara_p89.jpg Honestly, going just on the pictures, I'd say that Boccob, St. Cuthbert, and Nerull are the coolest in the D&D pantheon. Instead of posting each pic, here's the link (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ag/20020628a).

elondir 03-27-07, 01:32 PM	I usually don't play clerics but probably (in descending order) Lastai, Pelor, Sharess, Dionysus, Scahrossar, Loviatar, Olidammara, Sune, Bast, Aphrodite, Inanna, Wee Jas, Eilistraee, Lolth, and Mystra.
elondir 03-27-07, 01:36 PM	How is Pelor such a great god? Four words: RADIANT SERVANT OF PELOR. Super-turning, super-healing, as if regular cleric wasn't powerful enough. Plus Arcane Disciple lets wizards cast cure spells. lolth for the win. a world ran by hot chicks with whips is a good world. I second that notion... maybe
nightwyrm 03-27-07, 01:37 PM	Bahamut. "So that's where earthquakes come from" :D
Sunblast 03-27-07, 01:42 PM	Well, if I had to pick the deity I'd like to worship the most, I'd go with Torm the True. I'd really like to get a little metal gauntlet to wear around my neck just because of how awesome he is. However, if I went with my favorite deity, it'd be a tie between Mask when he still had the intrigue portfolio (Because he loved what he did and he was so darn good at it) and Brandobaris (Because of a story about him; used to be on Wikipedia, but they changed it). Those two play the best tricks!
Jarred Garrison 03-27-07, 06:27 PM	Tempus, without a doubt.
skywyze 03-27-07, 08:35 PM	Tempus, without a doubt.Oooh, can I change my vote to Tempus as well? He's badass.

Bluehero 03-28-07, 01:29 AM	Hextor all the way! More arms= more power! The coolest dnd mini for his aspect and he's the god of tyranny to boot.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-28-07, 01:32 AM	Hextor all the way! More arms= more power! The coolest dnd mini for his aspect too. Wee Jas is fine too. Actually, I am working on a campaign setting where Hexy McHextor is main man. Based off a thread in the Mature section. But hextor sucks compared to Heironious, who is barely better than Cuthbert. Both of whom only hope to get a glimpse of the shining greatness that is Pelor.

Or at least that's what I'd say if Cuthbert worshippers got their way and dinosaur riding nazis roamed the earth. Yes, that's part of their dogma. Look it up in the original Deities and demigods.

I put on women's clothing, and hang around in bars. I grow tall trees, I wear high heels, Suspenders and a bra. I want to be a girlie, just like my dear papa.
Rogue Shadows 03-28-07, 10:25 AM	Oh, so you agree on Pelor? Pelor blows. First off, I live in a virtual cave, so sunlight is anathema to me, and thus so are sun gods. Secondly, I've done some advanced calculations, and determined that I'm a Rogue (Actually, I'm an Expert 2/Rogue 1/D&D Geek 10/Game Master 5). Thus, again...sun god. Nuh-uh. Besides. He's a SUN GOD. I hate those things. Ugh. (I think what I'm trying to say is that I don't like sun gods).
Khael 03-28-07, 10:57 AM	For some reason the words: "But...who will brave the daystar?' come to mind... (For anyone not getting that, it's an obsure webcomic reference.) And yes, that sounds like Corellon Larethian, but you receive no prize, since you only referenced monty python and elves being pansies. And we knew the second was true beforehand.

You could be a creepy, evil-looking paladin in black and red armor etc. that......would be cool. Except, she channels negative energy, so.....could you? Or would you have to be some variant (Pal o' Tyranny?)

Richmud 03-28-07, 06:51 PM	that......would be cool. Except, she channels negative energy, so.....could you? Or would you have to be some variant (Pal o' Tyranny?) Her neutral and evil clerics channel negative energy however good aligned clerics of Wee Jas channel positive energy and she can have paladins in her service. A LN god can have both good and evil clerics as well as both blackguards and paladins. In fact I've been thinking about doing something with a paladin of Wee Jas whose loyalty to the Ruby Sorceress never falters but he still ends up falling and becoming a blackguard in her service Saint Cuthbert is an exception as he has no evil clerics even though he is LN

Kalitharus 03-28-07, 11:26 PM	Even given his 2nd Ed. 500' Avatar, Bahamut is but a wyrmling compared to some dragon gods out there. And I ain't referencing Io with that statement, even though Io is all of 800'. The Dragonwright pantheon is probably the greatest pantheon I have read about in any RPG. Any of those four Dragon Gods could easily handle any D+D dragon god... it's freakin' sick. :devil:

Faithkeep 03-31-07, 09:25 AM	Seriously, Pelor! And guys, I can't be funny unless you post, so post now. Hmmm... I was gonna say I might turn Lawful Good and worship Pelor, focusing on his Sun and Glory domains to be the bane of undead... but I don't know how you can use that as a springboard to being funny... :w: Oh and does a Radiant Servant of Pelor really have to be Neutral Good? :bigeyes:
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-31-07, 09:54 AM	Hmmm... I was gonna say I might turn Lawful Good and worship Pelor, focusing on his Sun and Glory domains to be the bane of undead... Me: There is no escape. Don't make me destroy you. You do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover you power. Join me and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the to the Realms. FaithKeep: I'll never join you! Me: If you only knew the power of the Church of Pelor. Elminster never told you what happened to your Archpreist. FaithKeep: He told me enough! He told me you killed him. Me: No. I am your Archpreist. FaithKeep: No. No. That's not true! That's impossible! Me: Search your domain spells. You know it to be true. FaithKeep: No! No! No! Me: FaithKeep. You can destroy Cuthbert. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and we can rule the Realms as father and son. Come with me. It's the only way.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-31-07, 09:57 AM	Oh and does a Radiant Servant of Pelor really have to be Neutral Good? :bigeyes: What's that Pelor? He says something about talking it over with your "DM." What ever that is.

M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-31-07, 10:00 AM	I'll join you only If I become an Archpriest too. :evillaugh ok.
Faithkeep 03-31-07, 10:02 AM	ok. Cool. :dancin: I just took another online alignment test, the one on the wizards site this time... says I'm Neutral Good... woah... :eek: :angel:
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-31-07, 10:14 AM	Cool. :dancin: I just took another online alignment test, the one on the wizards site this time... says I'm Neutral Good... woah... :eek: Yeah!:w00t: Streamers and confetti come out of the ceiling. I walk towards Faithkeep with a big cake. Right before I give it to him, I trip and fall all over him! :w00t: You know, like in the debut episode f the Chevy Chase Show.

I just started and now my green priestly robe is ruined. :waits: :lightbulb Oh well... I was planning to get a new one anyways. Let's go yellow! :cheer:
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-31-07, 10:27 AM	I claim the 201st post for Pelor!
Faithkeep 03-31-07, 10:29 AM	I claim the 200th post for Pelor! Nope... I did. :D Pelor loves me more now. :love: Hahahahaha... kiddin. :dancin:
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-31-07, 10:34 AM	Nope... I did. :D Pelor loves me more now. :love: Hahahahaha... kiddin. :dancin: Hey you edited my post. I clearly stated 201st post!
Faithkeep 03-31-07, 10:57 AM	Hey you edited my post. I clearly stated 201st post! It was 200 before. :) Got to it before you edited it to 201. :) Pelor sees all. :D
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-31-07, 10:58 AM	Your right.
Faithkeep 03-31-07, 11:02 AM	Your right. But hey... you converted the guy who got the 200th post for him. :tie: :w:
Richmud 03-31-07, 11:17 AM	Seriously, Pelor! And guys, I can't be funny unless you post, so post now. You know every time you praise Pelor, Nerull kills a kitten
Rogue Shadows 03-31-07, 04:49 PM	It's best not to get into what Erythnul does to a puppy every time you praise Pelor.
navar100 03-31-07, 08:00 PM	Greyhawk: Heironeous Forgotten Realms: Torm, but Ilmater is right by his side Dragonlance: Palladine Eberron: None Egyptian: Osiris Greek: Athena Norse: None Stargate: Thor :D Homebrew: Whatever god my character for that campaign worships. Three guesses on alignment, first two don't count. :P
leather_book_wizard 03-31-07, 09:06 PM	Boccob. Boccob is the Uncaring god of magic. He is awesome. He looks awesome. He is a powerful mage. In Dragonlance, Gilean. Gilean is cool.
lordofthe_wog 03-31-07, 09:47 PM	Erythnul :evillaugh He represents everything I stand for, chaos, evil, and beating the s**t out of everything that moves.
Horus_Sungod 03-31-07, 11:26 PM	Hextor, because lawful evil is the most dangerous kind of evil (it's far worse to have a demonic army knocking at the city gate than a band of barbarians...) Also, Obad-Hai has a good view of nature (not like little birds and deers suddenly singing for the beauty of the world). Nature is harsh, it's kill or die, but carry no cruelty or deviousness.
MagusBlack 04-01-07, 01:14 AM	Hextor, because lawful evil is the most dangerous kind of evil (it's far worse to have a demonic army knocking at the city gate than a band of barbarians...) ....Hextor would kill you for that example, as would any devil:emp:. Demons are chaotic evil. You should of said "infernal army'. Just trying to save your soul from the demons...cause I still got thirty souls to deliver to Dispater by the end of the week.:evillaugh
Faithkeep 04-01-07, 01:47 AM	Homebrew: Whatever god my character for that campaign worships. Three guesses on alignment, first two don't count. :P Hmm... Lawful Neutral? Lawful Evil? :lightbulb Lawful Good?
TheChilliGod 04-01-07, 03:10 AM	I hope you mean aside from myself alter ego. Uhm, I rather like Pholtus from Greyhawk, because of his lawfulness and his relationship with the moon that makes me wonder how the two combine. Laws of nature and orbits and such. And, at this point, I realize that I have only ever played one single PC that has considered serious worship of a deity. (Grummsh)
NeoRaven01 04-01-07, 04:36 AM	Bahamut. I love platinum/silver and dragons are just plain cool.
Caliborn 04-01-07, 08:04 AM	For human Deities my top three are St. Cuthbert, Wee Jas, and Vecna. Non-human I like Dumathion, Skoraeas Stonebones, and Gelf Darkheart.
Faithkeep 04-01-07, 08:54 AM	Fharlanghn is cool too by the way. He is the only core deity that has both Luck and Travel domains. Pretty powerful ones if you ask me. :) Still... Pelor for his holy symbol.:dancin:
Faithkeep 04-01-07, 01:05 PM	Hey M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0... St. Cuthbert just invited me back to his church... says he'll make me a bishop and let me borrow his mace. :D Buh-bye.:D (it's more fun this way... so you'll post again... besides, Cuthbert is cool :dancin: )
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-01-07, 01:34 PM	Hey M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0... St. Cuthbert just invited me back to his church... says he'll make me a bishop and let me borrow his mace. :D Buh-bye.:D (it's more fun this way... so you'll post again... besides, Cuthbert is cool :dancin: ) to quote my friend's three year ld son, "You big meanie!"
Qwicksilver 04-01-07, 08:26 PM	Fharlaghn Definately the god for clerics who don't want to look or act like clerics whatsoever. He does have the luck and travel domains. His clerics seem kind of like hitchhiking hippies just going along for the ride friendly, all that. Just the second you ever got to a city, the cleric of Fharlaghn would ditch you like a bad habit. St. Cuthbert though. Definitely like the idea of a dude who goes around with a mace smacking people around and dealing out sage advice.
mythSSK 04-01-07, 10:20 PM	I don't have one single favourite deity. Wee Jas and her portfolio interest me greatly. I'm also quite partial to Falazure and Chronepsis of the draconic pantheon. Also Fharlanghn and his brother Celestian. And Saint Cuthbert. Gah. I have too many favourites.
Oregwath 04-01-07, 10:51 PM	Fharlanghn is with out a doubt the diety for me. Why, when you are in doubt, just spin around with your eyes closed and start walking. It doesn't matter where you are going, because the journey is more important then the destination. Of course, most of my parties seem to find this less then ideal, but they eventually get over it when Fharlanghn shows up. Mostly he yells at me and tells me to stop showing up at random places saying that he preordained it... But the real reason is that no other diety could ever take him. To reach him, they have to make a journey, and since he controls the journey, they will end up where he wants them to. It isn't about raw power, it is about the use of the power you have. :teach:
vagabonvoid 04-01-07, 10:53 PM	Dennari Goddess of agriculture and of the oppressed... (I'm a farmer:P ) And she is a hot muscle dwarf babe! (smitten by beauty:D )
tenacious_kev 04-02-07, 12:43 AM	Hades is my favorite from Olympic pantheon. Gruumsh my fav out of the regular deites Anubas out of the Pharaonic pantheon. And well the entire Norse (asgardian) pantheon is my favorite out of all the panteons.
docballen 04-02-07, 12:52 AM	hey M1kh43l P4r4d1s0 We're playing this Castle Ravenloft thing and I created a cleric named Sol Pelorson guess who he worships??? I been singing the praises of your favorite dude Pelor do you give cookies or should I just go straight to Pelor himself for my chocolate chip goodness???? :angelhide:
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-02-07, 12:59 AM	hey M1kh43l P4r4d1s0 We're playing this Castle Ravenloft thing and I created a cleric named Sol Pelorson guess who he worships???

I am totally proud of you! In fact, so is Pelor... unless this is an April fools prank. In which case, we are not amused.:emp:
Faithkeep 04-02-07, 01:14 AM	to quote my friend's three year ld son, "You big meanie!" Just kidding man... :D Pelor just asked me to play an April Fool's joke on ya. :angel: Yay Pelor! :w00t: Oh yeah... he asked me to give you this too: :cookie: Oh and you too docballen: :cookie: Ahh Pelor, such a caring god. :dancin: But I still say his picture on Deities and Demigods could have been done better. :tantrum:
Journeyman Samwise 04-02-07, 01:48 AM	Sapphos, NG Goddess of the Balkan Planes of Lesbos. IT DOES TOO EXIST SHUT UP.
Mirron 04-02-07, 02:55 AM	I like most of the Dragonlance Neutral deities, particularly Lunitari. In a current campaign, I am really liked by her. Very curious to see how that affects things.
navar100 04-02-07, 04:09 AM	Hooray for the Sun god! He is the fun god! Ra! Ra! Ra!
Faithkeep 04-02-07, 06:37 AM	Hooray for the Sun god! He is the fun god! Ra! Ra! Ra! Pelor is a sun god too. :D Omg... I'm taking M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0's place as Pelor's cheerleader. :eek: :rofl:
Sleepwalker13666 04-02-07, 06:44 AM	For me it would be a toss up between We-Jas and Shar. I'm really not sure why the two appeal to me, perhaps my teen goth years just creeping back.
Faithkeep 04-02-07, 06:54 AM	For me it would be a toss up between We-Jas and Shar. I'm really not sure why the two appeal to me, perhaps my teen goth years just creeping back. I think you could be better off with Wee Jas, at least in terms of domain powers. She's got Magic and Planning domains which have pretty useful abilities and powerful spells. :mage:
Azezel 04-02-07, 11:17 AM	What!? Eight pages and no-one has mentioned the Raging Volcano? That's going to make her angry, and you really, really wouldn't like her when she's angry. That's why I never leave home without my Holy Symbol of Joramy - I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a non-worshipper. http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q101/MCP1/Joramy_1.jpg Besides which, who wouldn't want to worship Joramy, when you worship Joramy 'kill it with fire' is not just a good idea, it's holy law. She's an ally of Pelor, but the difference is, Joramy is willing to do what it takes to get the job done! While Pelor is being all lawful and letting the evil undead get away because they're holding a small kitten hostage, Joramy erases them in an explosion visible from space. All hail the Mistress of Heat!
Faithkeep 04-02-07, 11:23 AM	Pelor is not lawful. He's just kind. Moradin is the lawful one. Anyways, nice lighter. :w00t:
Azezel 04-02-07, 12:09 PM	He's more lawful than Joramy. And thanks.
Faithkeep 04-02-07, 12:24 PM	He's more lawful than Joramy. And thanks. Well, that's true. :) Here's Joramy: http://www.greyhawkonline.com/wogcomic/title/wogstrip52a.htm :mage:
Orchomenos 04-02-07, 03:42 PM	From FR: Garagos: The only one who stand before Tempus. Mielikki: Can't go wrong with a mix of Jane Goodall and Lara Croft! Malar: For he hunts other animal totems to gather their worshippers. Mask: Way too cool! Velsharoon: This sneaky lichy makes himself buddy with Azuth for protection against Talos, and with Talos for protection against Azuth! Anhur: CG God of War and Storm, with the Falcion as favored weapon! About Mystra: When you're the pocket pet of the one who create the rules, it's normal to have more power. But it quickly turns... boring. :rolleyes:
Wharin 04-02-07, 09:39 PM	Well, as per my Profile, I am such a huge fan of Moradin that i got his symbol tattooed on the ball of my shoulder. But its hard argue with the hotness of naked drow butts that Eillistraee provides... Hmmmmm... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/Wharin/Dwarven_Eillistraeesmall.jpg On second thought lets not do that... its a silly god.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-02-07, 11:22 PM	I think you could be better off with Wee Jas, at least in terms of domain powers. She's got Magic and Planning domains which have pretty useful abilities and powerful spells. :mage: Careful, magic is a dangeorous thing my young cleric. Pelor is a sun god too. :D Omg... I'm taking M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0's place as Pelor's cheerleader. :eek: :rofl: Heh... you wish... Scenes from (ugh) Bring It On are invading my mind. But I still say his picture on Deities and Demigods could have been done better. :tantrum: I believe they were going for the kindly old man (Gandalfesque, if you will) image of Him. but yes, I would love to see a healing/ strength pic also. I also claim the 9nth page to Pelor.
Harbin_Dunewalker 04-03-07, 12:19 AM	Kord. Simply because my memories of a half-orc cleric named Destroy shouting "KORD! CRUSH! HEAL!" at the half-orc barbarian are too strong to deny. (The barbarian's NAME was Crush. The other's name was Kill.) That game was hilarious. All the half-orcs ended up dying because they followed one fleeing drow right up to what appeared to be something equivalent to the Queen of the Drow, but it was still pretty f'in hilarious . . . :rofl: "Crush not open door? Crush HATE door! Crush SMASH door!"
Faithkeep 04-03-07, 02:09 AM	I believe they were going for the kindly old man (Gandalfesque, if you will) image of Him. but yes, I would love to see a healing/ strength pic also. I like the kindly old man image 'coz it's nice for Pelor... I guess I just wanted him to have better robes. :) You know... shining and all... and maybe not body hugging or something... :P The depiction of the face is nice though. :tongue:
captain_pelor 04-03-07, 02:18 AM	well I think my name says it but yah Pelor, why? Because he is neutral good which is what ALL my characters are because I think it is the best alignment and because being able to fry undead kicks ass
Dalmaris_cerebromancer 04-03-07, 08:18 AM	Nerull
Schroeder 04-03-07, 03:49 PM	CAS! Moose gods of spite unite! Sorry...I stole that from my brother. I dunno. I don't really have much of a preference, but I've always liked Farlanghn. The Glutton is amusing too...
_Bolshack_Dragon_ 04-03-07, 03:54 PM	I'd have to say Pelor and then Bahamut. I don't know why. They just caught my interest I guess.
dengarbountyhunter 04-03-07, 05:02 PM	Rallaster and Scahrossar from Book of Vile Darkness are cool because adoration of madness and suffering make... interesting... clerics. And Blibdoolpoolp has a cool name.

Novabomb 04-03-07, 06:56 PM	Hear me brethren, I follow the great god of optimization (and everything else) Pun-Pun. The granter of all domains. The most divine (ranked) among the gods. Repent, and be saved.
Alpha_Moose 04-03-07, 07:25 PM	Hear me brethren, I follow the great god of optimization (and everything else) Pun-Pun. The granter of all domains. The most divine (ranked) among the gods. Repent, and be saved. Yeah. Pun-pun's like the Atomic Bomb. A compilation work of some of the greatest optimizers that has since been looked down on by many as a creation of great horror and disgust.
ScytheRayne 04-03-07, 08:08 PM	Um....ME! Worship me and be granted power unimaginable! ScytheRayne! The god of power,balance and frivolus spending habits! Buy all the supplement books and support the cause! .....*cough* Obad-Hai. Cause its hard enough to deal with pelor the nightlight.
docballen 04-03-07, 10:39 PM	:inlove: :cookie: :inlove: YES! I am totally proud of you! In fact, so is Pelor... unless this is an April fools prank. In which case, we are not amused.:emp: No, I don't do April Fool's pranks-- at least none of them worked this year. No, I'm gonna get to play this great cleric again this Saturday. I made him the wrong alignment to be a Radiant Servant of Pelor, but I may talk to my DM and see what can be worked out. I need more stuff to say during the campaign to get my fellow travelers interested in Pelor. We have a paladin to Pelor in the group, and we have a wyrmling black dragon who was cared for and hatched in our temple and he seems to LOVE Pelor. mmmm thanks, that cookie is delicious.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-04-07, 12:03 AM	May Pelor heal your wounds! (under your breath) I wonder how much more your wounds would heal if you devoted your worship to Pelor? May Pelor bless your family and friends. Begone to you putrid masters, necrotic fiends! By Pelor's holy light, I cast you out! I am sorry for your pain. I will pray that Pelors holy light will shine on you. These will probably help you out.
Faithkeep 04-04-07, 04:00 AM	Maybe you could also say... "Food is good in Pelor's temple." :D Or maybe... "We can get free horses from their stables... they love me there." :rofl:
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-04-07, 05:58 PM	Also constantly carry around The Hundred Writs of Pelor. This is the Pelorian holy book. Read it constantly, if possible. It would also be great if you could carry some spare copies with you. That way you can give them to NPCs. Be sure to have those copies be very vernacular (commoners tounge) so as to keep confusion from their precious little heads.
docballen 04-04-07, 11:16 PM	So far when I strike Undead I say, All Glory Be To Pelor!! but everybody at the table looks at me kinda funny.:confused: Maybe it's because I'm new to this group and they don't know what to expect yet. Thanks for the ideas!!!
Faithkeep 04-05-07, 12:37 AM	I'm gonna play a melee cleric of Pelor soon. Every time he casts Righteous Might, he raises his heavy mace above his head, points it to the sky and shouts: "BY THE POWER OF PELOR... I HAVE THE POWEEEEEEEEEER!" Then he grows big and strong and starts cracking skulls. :dancin: :rofl:
Faithkeep 04-05-07, 06:41 AM	Wow... it's been slow lately.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-05-07, 04:15 PM	I'm gonna play a melee cleric of Pelor soon.

Doom_Linnorm 04-05-07, 06:35 PM	Favorite Core: Tiamat. Why? becouse she just pwns everybody, she's the coolest. Other favorites: Wee-Jas, Nerull, Kurtulemak. RL DnD Deities: Tough choice, but I'll go with Aphrodite, she can mess with any god, her special salient devine power ignores DvR! (which means she could even get Pelor to be Wee-Jas's boytoy.) Other favs: Sobek (He's a frikkin crocodile!!!), Nephtys, Hecate, Hades, Skadi, Odin, Artemis. Fav Demon Lord: Graz'zt Fav Archdevil: Mephistopholes (Though Dispater and Glasya aren't far behind.) Fav Celestial thingy: None, I don't fav celestial thingies, I prolly hate all of em. Fav Arborean thingy: None, but that is becouse I don't know enough about them. Lamest core: Tie between Pelor, Cuthbert, Garl and Correlon.... I hate all four of em. Lamest RL DnD: Apollo, dunno why... but I hate him. Lamest Demon Lord: Demogorgon, what can I say... he's just wrong. Lamest Archdevil: Hag Countess, oh wait she's dead :D then its Beelzebulb (though Levistus isn't far behind.) As with above, my Celestial/Arborean knowledge is insufficient.
Roscoe_Greenbottle 04-05-07, 06:58 PM	I vote jesus
lord_zack 04-05-07, 07:45 PM	Yeah he could pwn every other deity in this thread as a free action.
malignor 04-05-07, 07:49 PM	My favorite god is that handsome devil I see in the mirror every day. I love being me. Seriously though, I like Tempus from FR. He's like Conan x 10.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-05-07, 07:57 PM	Lamest core: Tie between Pelor, Dumby mcSainty, Gnomerkin dude and Elfy McPansyPants.... I hate all four of em. I agree with your last three, but you crossed the line when you attacked my main man. I have an army of... about 4-6 people on this tread that are sooooo ready to bash your skull in with a mace and holy symbol. You Suck!
Alpha_Moose 04-05-07, 08:09 PM	I agree with your last three, but you crossed the line when you attacked my main man.

Dracomortis 04-05-07, 08:57 PM	Death to the nonbelievers! Nerull will reap your pathetic souls and laugh in utter amusement at your eternally damned existence of suffering in the Pits of Eternal Torment, which is more commonly known amongst you heathens as Sweden! Bow before your rightful, fleshless, half-decaying king of doom!
Doom_Linnorm 04-06-07, 03:36 AM	I agree with your last three, but you crossed the line when you attacked my main man. I have an army of... about 4-6 people on this tread that are sooooo ready to bash your skull in with a mace and holy symbol. You Suck! While I do detest Pelor, the only reason I really wanted to say so was to get this reaction. And its good to know somebody agrees with me on the other three. As for the bashing with a mace and holy symbol. (I'm not undead so the holy symbol is pointless.) That mace had better be a +6 soul shattering dire mace of supreme wyrm slaying (+12 against ancient dragons). (Ain't gettin' through my armorclass or damage reduction without that and a really big power attack.) Unfortunatly, Pelor being a benevolent deity would never condone the use of a soul shattering weapon... so its an idle threat. Tiamat's five breathweapons pwn yo a*se. In all seriousness though, what the hell makes Pelor awsome? I just can't see it.
Orodruin 04-06-07, 07:16 AM	In all seriousness though, what the hell makes Pelor awsome? I just can't see it. Dude, he's an old guy who uses his face as a holy symbol! It simply doesn't get any more awesome than that! (unless you're Nerull...)
fuzzycrusader 04-06-07, 07:36 AM	sigh. every single one of you has completely overlooked an amazing deity. Fharlanghn. I mean, his unpronounceable name alone should be enough. but if not, he's an old man who walks everywhere. max respect for that
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-06-07, 08:17 AM	You know, I'm starting to think that you like Pelor somewhat. I can't quite tell though... And you don't?

Unfortunatly, Pelor being a benevolent deity would never condone the use of a soul shattering weapon... so its an idle threat. Tiamat's five breathweapons pwn yo a*se. In all seriousness though, what the hell makes Pelor awsome? I just can't see it. I'm pretty sure Pelor has a strength domain, therefore there is some room for a crusader. I could be a crusader against evil dragons (Of course then it would make more sense to worship Noshirt McDragonslayer). As Jozan said in the Libre Mortis," I kill dragons because I want to. I kill undead because I have to." Prop 1)You are a dragon. Prop 2) I like to kill dragons. Conclusion 1) I will kill you. Prop 3) Pelor will try to help one of his best clerics. Prop 4) You are an evil dragon. Prop 5) You seek to destroy innoccents and/or wreak havoc upon the world. Conclusion 2) Pelor will help me. Conclusion 3) That help could possibly include taking away your powers, or giving me afformentioned weapon (for a short period of time).

Cnclusion 2) Pelor will help me. Conclusion 3) That help could possibly include taking away your powers, or giving me afformentioned weapon (for a short period of time). Um...Pelor isn't really a fan of indiscriminate killing, if you added "prop 4) You are an evil dragon" as well as "prop 5) You seek to destroy innoccents and/or wreak havoc upon the world" then conclusion 2 would have validity

I, and Pelor, thank you.
Khadmus 04-06-07, 10:13 AM	How did I forget Vecna? I repent, Maimed Lord. I redidicate my soul.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-06-07, 10:15 AM	How did I forget Vecna? I repent, Maimed Lord. I redidicate my soul. TURN UNDEAD!
Khadmus 04-06-07, 10:34 AM	Ah, thank you Pelor-man. You brought up my next topic: How much turn resistance does Vecna have? I don't own Dieties and Demigods. When he upgrades 3.5 to 4.0 he should work on making himself uber first. [Of course, all my details on Vecna are a bit sketchy as I don't have Die Vecna Die.]
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-06-07, 10:40 AM	Ah, thank you Pelor-man. You brought up my next topic: How much turn resistance does Vecna have? I don't own Dieties and Demigods. When he upgrades 3.5 to 4.0 he should work on making himself uber first. [Of course, all my details on Vecna are a bit sketchy as I don't have Die Vecna Die.] Ummm. Pelor is turning him. Since Pelor is a much greater god than Vecy McNohand, Pelor could... actually... turn vecna... Why hasn't Pelor turned Vecna!
Khadmus 04-06-07, 10:46 AM	Should I call you P3l0r-m4n or just Pelor-man? Or perhaps something else entirely. For now, i'll just leave you to wonder about the...mysteries of Pelor.
Doom_Linnorm 04-06-07, 10:49 AM	Well my alignment is Chaotic Neutral actualy. (I have both plenty of good and evil tendencies.) Tiamat is my fav core goddess but not my deity. Also Jozan couldn't kill a dragon if he cornered a hellfirewyrm hatchling in elysium while holding the afforementioned mace in his hands. (But that is mostly becouse I'd squeze the life out of him before he tries to do so... well that... or his general uncoolness prevents him from pwning something that is cool.) Pelor is a uncaring close-minded racist if you ask me. (Pelor)"Oh no, a harmless little skeleton is doing farm work!" TURN UNDEAD!!! "Oh no, an archlich just told my champion of justice where the sword of ultimate pwnage is, the sword he needs to beat the stuffing of out of that normal (evil)lich!" TURN UNDEAD!!! (Urazel)"Dude.. why are you doing that? they aren't actualy doing anything wrong this time." "But they're undead, they must die!" "They're already dead numbnut!" "Not dead enough!" "Oh no, my high priest came back to life as a ghost and is now protecting his temple from all evil that would assail my church." TURN UNDEAD!!! "Dude, you're a retard..." But back on topic.... What makes Pelor cool? Why do you like Pelor? Edit: Pelor hasn't turned Vecna becouse Vecna is just much cooler then Pelor, the aura of coolness gives +34658493 turn resist whilst Pelor only has +345334 on turning checks.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-06-07, 10:50 AM	I know! Pelor hasn't turned Vecy McNohand, because it would be unbalancing to the game. If all of the good gods kill all of ther evil gods, who will their clerics attack indiscriminatly? YAY, I found inner peace!:angel:
Reverend_Valek 04-06-07, 10:50 AM	Oh, dear....I'm afraid I have a weakness for playing clerics of Sune....and taking the prestige class of Heart Warder at level 10.....*blushes*
Khadmus 04-06-07, 10:53 AM	Pelor...is. Even I, who worships his enemy, realize this. He simply is [cool]. As for the "like" section, I'll leave that to Mikhael. PS: Vecna is a lesser diety. That means not many worshippers. Those who worship him would merely merge into Nerull's church or something similar. I, however, would migrate up to Fharlanghn. I would then continue the path to its logical conclusion by converting to Pelor.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-06-07, 10:54 AM	Well my alignment is Chaotic Neutral actualy. Tiamat is my fav core goddess but not my deity.

"Oh no, my high priest came back to life as a ghost and is now protecting his temple from all evil that would assail my church." TURN UNDEAD!!! "Dude, you're a retard..." But back on topic.... What makes Pelor cool? Why do you like Pelor? First off, yes, Jozan could kill afformentioned wyrm. And CN is just an excuse to do CE things, but with out an alignment change. Second, Pelor hates EVIL undead. though he doesn't really like good undead either. doesn't mean he will destroy the good ones. And finally, Pelor is just freaking cool. he's an all around good guy. can't say either of those things about tiamat. I mean tiamats not all around good, nor is she a guy.
Doom_Linnorm 04-06-07, 11:13 AM	I beg to differ, its a simple math problem. Allround good guy =/= cool Allround good guy = boring Dragon = cool Lawfull Evil (non-devil) = under apreciated = interesting Allround good guy < Lawfull evil dragon queen Also Ludicrously powerfull (male) = quite cool Ludicrously powerfull (female) = really cool So I'm not convinced yet, give me a better argument why he is cool. So far what I can find is. Sun god = reasonably cool Old man = a bit cool Hatred for a single race/group = extremely uncool Worhsiped almost exclusivly by humans = beyond uncool, that is just lame. (Very few gods have enough coolness to make up for this one, Wee-Jas and Boccob being rare examples.) And about the alignment bit, the benefit of being CN is that you can also do CG things without the damned alignment change, I can do both! HA, it works both ways!!
Khadmus 04-06-07, 11:17 AM	I believe that we all have to be informed. After all, knowledge is power! Tell us, Mikhael, about Pelor. Summarize the Pelorite bible, if you will. Linnorm, do the same for tiamat. I believe that Vecna is explained well enough on Wikipedia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vecna)
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-06-07, 11:22 AM	So I'm not convinced yet, give me a better argument why he is cool. So far what I can find is. Sun god = reasonably cool Old man = a bit cool Hatred for a single race/group = extremely uncool Worhsiped almost exclusivly by humans = beyond uncool, that is just lame. (Very few gods have enough coolness to make up for this one, Wee-Jas and Boccob being rare examples.) Sun god that is an old man = pricless Hatred for undead = awesome Sidenote: Undead are not a race. They are the products of magic. Most of them don't have true free will. Also since there is a supprising amount of them are of different races, he isn't racist. He has never gone on a crusade against elven only undead. He hasn't attacked dwarf liches exclusivly. He atacks all EVIL undead. He will try to convince good undead to become mortal in some way, but he won't kill them. Also, haven't you seen Army of Darkness. Ash hates the undead, but he isn't evil... he's just insane. Human worship him most, because they need a light to turn to in dark times, and the sun it the brightest thing.
Doom_Linnorm 04-06-07, 11:25 AM	I already told you, I like her the most ouf of core, but she's not my fav, my homebrew dragon god Arakus is. And yes, I also want to hear more about Pelor. I want to try to comprehend why Pelor might be cool enough to worship. Edit: The problem with hating undead and why it is really frikkin uncool (gues we clash o this concept): Hating undead isn't cool becouse they aren't a true race, they are a much much larger group becouse they can come from any race. Basicly Pelor hates people if they die but are trapped in the material plane. Also I cannot find a shred of evidence that he might actualy take note of an Undead's alignment before oblitheration. Ok, now we know why humans worship him a lot, but that doesn't make it cool to be worshiped by humans.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-06-07, 11:42 AM	Basicly Pelor hates people if they die but are trapped in the material plane. Also I cannot find a shred of evidence that he might actualy take note of an Undead's alignment before oblitheration. Pelor doesn't hate the people (with possibly the exception of the willing evil ones). He hates the evil magic that binds there soul to the realm. He destroys undead because they kill the innocent, and the magic used defiles the bodies of the living. And about the alignment thing: I believe I am the expert on Pelor, so please sit back down.
Alpha_Moose 04-06-07, 03:30 PM	You know, I might start worshiping the Lady of Pa...glagh <flailed alive>. *boink* I'm back. And I do agree that Pelor is cool. He goes around healing people and killing undead, who have a default evil alignment in D&D. On a side note, Vecna has a +4 turn resistance, so he counts as a 44th level creature (he's only immune to turning from beings of a lower DvR), Pelor can turn undead (gets a 20 automatically) 47 HD worth to a maximum HD of 41. He can also destroy any he would normally turn. So, Pelor wouldn't be able to blankly turn Vecna, but that's ignoring any Artifacts Pelor could spontaneously create or his Alter Reality. Because Pelor is DvR 17 vs Vecna only DvR 10, in the end I think that Pelor would win.
Khadmus 04-06-07, 03:49 PM	Vecna is DvR 10? woo! more than 1/2 Pelor's DvR...better than I expected.
Alpha_Moose 04-06-07, 09:09 PM	Vecna is DvR 10? woo! more than 1/2 Pelor's DvR...better than I expected. Yeah, he bounces around a lot. Right now though he's at the exact mid-point for most deities.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-06-07, 11:19 PM	Yeah, but the point is, if it weren't unbalancing to the game, Pelor would easily destroy Vecy McNohand. In game, I think an overdeity is preventing this.
Doom_Linnorm 04-07-07, 01:15 PM	Or it is Vecna's sheer volume of coolness, which incidentaly is a smaller amount then Tiamat's but more then Pelor's. (Ok this is starting to get boring, this will be the last time I provoke Paradiso unless he enjoys it.)
Dracomortis 04-07-07, 01:20 PM	Yeah, but the point is, if it weren't unbalancing to the game, Pelor would easily destroy Vecy McNohand. In game, I think an overdeity is preventing this. Well you see, if Pelor ever makes a move against Vecna, Nerull will be all like "Oh no you didn't!", and they'll gang up on Pelor. It's kind of like being in prison: don't pick on the little guy, cus there's a bigger guy behind him. And never drop the soap.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-07-07, 05:31 PM	Well you see, if Pelor ever makes a move against Vecna, Nerull will be all like "Oh no you didn't!", and they'll gang up on Pelor. It's kind of like being in prison: don't pick on the little guy, cus there's a bigger guy behind him. And never drop the soap. The Heirnorious, Cuthbutt (hehehe... I said butt), Elfy Mc FancyPants, Gnomerkin dude, And pretty much every good god would tem with him. Vecy McNohand and Reaper McPhaseblade will be ganked. Or it is Vecna's sheer volume of coolness, which incidentaly is a smaller amount then Tiamat's but more then Pelor's. (Ok this is starting to get boring, this will be the last time I provoke Paradiso unless he enjoys it.) That would be impposible, because Pelor is the coolest god ever. Yes even cooler than Raptor Jesus.
Khadmus 04-07-07, 05:46 PM	Vecna is the god of destructive secrets. He could easily use some of that lore (spells) to sneak back into the shadows, leaving McPhaseblade the idiot to die. He would then beat any relevant competitors to Nerull's corpse and absorb the residual divine energy. Vecna is now a greater diety. (or at the very least an intermediate one)
Dracomortis 04-07-07, 06:36 PM	Ah you see, we evil clerics have numbers on our side. There is a patron deity for every race. Number of evil races outnumbers the number of good races by about 10 to 1. Game over, Pelor :D
Khadmus 04-07-07, 06:50 PM	You make ever-so-subtle allusions to the Ebon Triad. I will not stand for this. Vecna is temporarily supporting Boccob.

I mean, his unpronounceable name alone should be enough. but if not, he's an old man who walks everywhere. max respect for that Hey, I mentioned Fharlanghn somewhere at the start. :) Pelor...is. Even I, who worships his enemy, realize this. He simply is [cool]. Yeah, he's so cool... even if I was a dwarf I'd worship him. :D Also since there is a supprising amount of them are of different races, he isn't racist. Human worship him most, because they need a light to turn to in dark times, and the sun it the brightest thing. True, true. If I was a dwarf, he'd welcome me into his church. :teach: The Heirnorious, Cuthbutt (hehehe... I said butt), Elfy Mc FancyPants, Gnomerkin dude, And pretty much every good god would tem with him. So.... Cuthbert is teaming up with the good guys now? :lightbulb Well, well, well... :D Oh yeah... I might be part of that mace-wielding army of sunny goodness that P4r4d1s0's talking about. :pile: :w: :w: :w:
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-08-07, 02:32 PM	So....

Also Vol and the Shadow. the Scarred Lands: Chardun. Also Belsameth and Nemorga. Other: Most of the Seldarine and most of the Gnomish pantheon. Avoreen gets special mention, 'cause the idea of a Halfling god of Fighters is just too cute for words. He's like Heironeous, but fits neatly into overhead storage compartments! Roger Moore was the best AD&D god-maker ever. Least. Favorite. God. Ever: Sehanine Moonbow. Ptui! We shall speak of her no more! I also have a special place of burning contempt in my heart for Ao (from the Realms) and the entire pantheon of dragon gods. Gosh. I sure do like evil gods...

Soltares 04-09-07, 01:49 AM	Pelor gets props for being sorta like Apollo, my favorite Greek god. Sun, healing, all that stuff. But he's not my favorite by any means. Although he does have one of my favorite Cleric PrCs, the Radiant Servant of Pelor!
Castegyre 04-09-07, 06:35 AM	I'm rather fond of Wee-Jas, also of Hel. Not because they are evil so much as because necromancy makes me tingly down below and Wee-jas at least can justify walking that tightrope between good and evil while still having un-dead buddies. >.> <.< Pelor can bite meh! :P

My deity on the other hand gives me useful information every day..............Today's pun...... yesderday it had to do with a hot dog and summer.....forgot what it was......It was awesome though. He gives his best jokes to his enemies though. While they are :rofl: he :duel: and is victourious. Plus everyone knows that a bucket on top of a door is Pelor's weakness! Or did Pelor leave that out? I know All of double G's weaknesses cause he trusts me.......And he cast a spell on me so I die if I tell......But I can take it off anytime I want!:twitch:

Dracomortis 04-09-07, 11:06 AM	The Reaper tolerates your actions only out of the kindness of his cold, rotting heart. Convert no before it is too late, for his patience runs short. He also has an apointment with his plastic surgeon concerning his skin condition at 4, so make it quick.
cat_god 04-09-07, 12:24 PM	Jergal's nice too. Pelor's lame. He's too... basic. He's what new players choose because they aren't certain they understand the point of choosing a deity. Myrkul'd beat him any day of the week. Except wednesdays, but that's poker night.
Toast_recon 04-09-07, 12:36 PM	Pelor's lame. He's too... basic. He's what new players choose because they aren't certain they understand the point of choosing a deity. You're reading my thoughts man!

In particular I believe its meant to represent one he stole from the god of Kobolds As for all the Pelorites around think on this: No matter how fast the light moves the darkness is always there first
elondir 04-09-07, 02:20 PM	Nah, Pelor's popular because he's a prerequisite for one of the most powerful prestige classes in the game (RSoP) for one of the most powerful base classes in the game (cleric). He's also one of the only ways for wizards to gain the Healing domain when taking the Arcane Disciple feat.

I'd rather be SIMULTANEOUSLY :bored: and :yuck: and :shifty: than be Gnome.
cat_god 04-09-07, 03:23 PM	Toast_recon, I stand by what I said. But Garl is cool! Garl'd definitely beat Pelor. Even on Wednesdays! I've never played a gnome... No idea why...
Toast_recon 04-09-07, 03:45 PM	Nah, Pelor's popular because he's a prerequisite for one of the most powerful prestige classes in the game (RSoP) for one of the most powerful base classes in the game (cleric). He's also one of the only ways for wizards to gain the Healing domain when taking the Arcane Disciple feat. Uhhhh I am a cleric of garl. You don't have to pick pelor. I trust you never looked at the cleric class description.:rolleyes: Garl'd definitely beat Pelor. Even on Wednesdays! Yah, but only because the other deities don't like him( whole prank thing) and he has no one to play poker with! EDIT: who is myrkul? Is he from complete divine? EDIT( yes I know I edit too much, but it is better than posting again) I am not gnome, but I am a cleric of garl.

If I were a cleric of Zarus, I'd....but I'm not. Well anyway, as a non-gnome, I can speak to you, but since you're a cleric of the Gnome god, I retain my hatred of you.
smeagol_lied 04-09-07, 04:17 PM	Good character: Pelor Evil character: Zarus or Cas Overall: Ted teh 'flayer
cat_god 04-09-07, 04:19 PM	EDIT: who is myrkul? Is he from complete divine? He's from the Forgotten Realms. I believe everything for worship is in Lost Empires of Faerun. He died in the Time of Troubles and now resides in a crown.
Toast_recon 04-09-07, 04:22 PM	Race Traitor! If I were a cleric of Zarus, I'd....but I'm not. Well anyway, as a non-gnome, I can speak to you, but since you're a cleric of the Gnome god, I retain my hatred of you. Fair enough.
Sarrazon 04-09-07, 07:17 PM	Hmm, i saw some comments about Pelor hating undead, and I couldn't resist. In the article about Pelor in dragon, it states that he doesn't hate undead, he feels sorry for them, and how they were forced to turn away form the light. God wise, Heironious, WITH a battleaxe. (Damn this favored weapon change) [EDIT] And Wee Jas, i forgot about her.
MagusBlack 04-09-07, 10:22 PM	Evening Glory. Exemplifying unending love, persisting even into daeth itself. All hail the beautiful Evening Glory! http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/libris_gallery/84704.jpg *Raises a class of absinthe* Amen man!! To the death of Pelor, and all elves.
Faithkeep 04-09-07, 11:50 PM	As for all the Pelorites around think on this: No matter how fast the light moves the darkness is always there first And always remember... darkness is simply the absence of light. :) The "existence" of darkness simply relies on the "presence" of light. :D :dancin:
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-10-07, 12:10 AM	You claim Pelor is weak. To bad for you He most likly has the most followers in the basic world, making him the strongest god in existance, with exception of the over deites. Pelor wills it.
Infinitum 04-10-07, 12:16 AM	The Reaper tolerates your actions only out of the kindness of his cold, rotting heart. Convert no before it is too late, for his patience runs short. He also has an apointment with his plastic surgeon concerning his skin condition at 4, so make it quick. Long live the Hater of Life, the Reaper of Flesh, the Hater of All Life. His is the last word, for he is Death. Everything, winds up coming to him.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-10-07, 12:18 AM	Long live the Hater of Life, the Reaper of Flesh, the Hater of All Life. His is the last word, for he is Death. Everything, winds up coming to him. And then Pelor resurrects you.
Infinitum 04-10-07, 12:23 AM	And then Pelor resurrects you. And then he dies again.
MagusBlack 04-10-07, 12:26 AM	You claim Pelor is weak. To bad for you He most likly has the most followers in the basic world, making him the strongest god in existance, with exception of the over deites. Pelor wills it. Only if that world uses the concept that more followers means more power. And besides I've been meaning to cull the numbers of Pelor worshippers:incog:...the Garrote have owed me that favor for long enough. Time to collect!:evillaugh Besides your god has people that will grow weak, and die, in time. While the Evening Glory has eternal followers, and will only grow stronger with time and patience. In time you shall sing a different tune...that is, if your still alive! ...As a thought *casts Violet Rain*
Infinitum 04-10-07, 12:49 AM	I wonder what kinds of spells I should research for my cleric of Nerull...
Khoran 04-10-07, 12:57 AM	Olidammara is by far my favorite of all the gods that I've seen so far. What's not to love about the god of having a good time?
Doom_Linnorm 04-10-07, 03:13 AM	Indeed, Pelor can ressurect all he wants, death will eventualy grip one's soul again, for only death is eternal. Even a god's existance will end someday.
Toast_recon 04-10-07, 03:42 PM	Hmmmmmm, you have a point M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0.But of course, GG has an entire race on his side(and a kickass race at that, even if they only get one feat at first level.) But does pelor have.......:thinks: ...:lightbulb ! Dancing jello? Convert to garl glitterhgold and get 3 tons(2.7 metric tons) of dancing jello. offer only applies for the next four seconds. Jello is non refundable.do not attempt to eat dancing jello, or diarea may occur. Jello only dances for first hour of use. Does anyone actually read the fine print. Lalalala, pelor sucks,lalala Double gg rocks. Poop poop poop, doodie doodie doodie. I hope that no one is reading this. HAHAHA.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-10-07, 04:27 PM	Oh yeah, well, We give away free artifacts every wendsdays! :pbbbtt: Pelor rocks GG sucks. And by calling him Double GG, that's saying Garl Garl Glittergold Glittergold.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-10-07, 04:28 PM	only death is eternal. And tithing.
TheCrawlingSpleen 04-10-07, 10:14 PM	This one goes out to all the Pelor-followers... Light fades, suns collapse, worshippers die, order breaks down into disorder. To all those who dance in the shining radiance of Pelor, remember: Light is temporary; darkness is eternal. This message brought to you by the cult of Tharizdun :bow::88E::bow: I'm thinking my favorite good deity is Meilikki (Nature/Predation + Good = :thumbsup:) And IRL, I'm very against evil, but I love Big T for story purposes because you just can't get more threatening than that!
Infinitum 04-10-07, 11:16 PM	Here's an interesting question. Why is it that those who are supposedly "good" and "righteous" always swayed and corrupted by that which is considered "evil" and "dark"? That evil and it's manifestations remain stalwart and uncorrupted, yet those who follow the path of light are always under the threat of repentant faith and the sway evil holds?
Faithkeep 04-11-07, 12:35 AM	Here's an interesting question. Why is it that those who are supposedly "good" and "righteous" always swayed and corrupted by that which is considered "evil" and "dark"? That evil and it's manifestations remain stalwart and uncorrupted, yet those who follow the path of light are always under the threat of repentant faith and the sway evil holds? The hardest is almost always the best. Keep that in mind. It's a good lesson to learn in life. :) There are a few exceptions... and I don't think this is one of them. :) Sometimes I wonder... if the world of DnD existed in real life... would those people who worship evil deities in their roleplaying games still choose to worship those gods? If they are not protected by the fact that such a world is kept imprisoned inside sheets of paper... I wonder... would they still choose to worship gods of death and murder and evil? Well, as it is... it doesn't really matter. It's still just a game. There are no serious repercussions for their choices. :)
Infinitum 04-11-07, 12:56 AM	Very true. Personally, I worship Vecna as my deity in the DnD realms (your post in my other thread reinforced this =)), and I would still worship him in real life. I do wonder though, how many would change up their deities if it came down to it...

I do wonder though, how many would change up their deities if it came down to it... I see. :) Yeah, I think he's perfect for the character concept of the cleric you are making. :D Though if it came to real life, I would humbly suggest that you be careful about worshipping Vecna. I mean, he is the god of evil and destructive secrets. He might hide some deadly secrets even from his most loyal followers. :hides: That's what I worry about evil deities... because they are themselves innately evil, and thus selfish, they could just as easily turn on their most loyal followers if those worshippers have outlived their use. (That would really suck if it happened to you in real life.) I think they only care about looking out for number one. :bigeyes: But that's just my opinion. :) Peace. :)
Khadmus 04-11-07, 04:12 PM	Be faithful, damn it! The Forgotten Realms have shown us what happens to the faithless. Even on Earth, the Church is here to remind us of the burning hell waiting for sinners. And if that's the punishment that good religions have, think about what the Maimed Lord or Nerull would do...there's a reason they have so many cultists.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-11-07, 04:15 PM	I personally would have deities in this order: 1. Pelor 2. Pelor 3. Banjo 4. Pelor 5. Hextor
Dracomortis 04-11-07, 04:26 PM	I personally would have deities in this order: 3. Banjo All hail the call of Banjulu, for he is a close associate of the Reaper.
Khadmus 04-11-07, 05:42 PM	1. Vecna 2. Pelor 3. Fharlanghn 4. Vecna 5. Waukeen (#5 is constantly shifting) To Faithkeep: If the Evil D&D gods were real, my current religion is pretty much annihilated. And besides, what better evil god to worship than the god of secrets?

You use the term cultist in a derogatory fashion, thats not entirely accurate. There is only one difference between a cult and a religion: Success. Every major religion of the world began as a so-called cult. Some flourished and established an orthodox in the mainstream while others did not. In essence, all religion is a cult. Just some food for thought. :) Wheres the Boccob love people? The guy knows like everything! -Mage
Mikayla 04-11-07, 10:14 PM	LOLTH. Lolth is the One-True-Goddess, the Dark Weaver of Destiny, the Mother of Lusts, the Queen of Spiders and simply the hottest, meanest, cruelest, most awesomest deity in the all D&D! And there is empirical PROOF! Just look at the book sales - no god or goddess sells books or modules like Lolth does. So, its all about Lolth. Praise be to the Dark Mother - Malla tlu Lolth! FK: Sometimes I wonder... if the world of DnD existed in real life... would those people who worship evil deities in their roleplaying games still choose to worship those gods? If they are not protected by the fact that such a world is kept imprisoned inside sheets of paper... I wonder... would they still choose to worship gods of death and murder and evil? Oh HELL NO. You think I am crazy? I play D&D to do things I would not or could not do in real life. In D&D my character, now a high-priestess of Lolth, sacrificed her son on the altar for the spider-queen. In real life, I am a mom and I would give everything to protect my son. So would I stay with Lolth in real life? Oh HELL NO. And if I suddenly wandered into that gamers-fantasy-cliche where I am living as my character - would I stay with Lolth? Again, oh HELL NO. That girl is crazy! But, so long as the world is safely confined to Pen-N-Paper or the virtual worlds of NWN/NWN2 (via ALFA) then yes, I am a most faithful Lolth worshipper. So there. ;)

M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-12-07, 04:13 PM	Pelor is a sun god. Tiamat is a dragon. Not a god, a dragon. It says dragon under type. Not outsider. That means Pelor is so much cooler than Tiamat.
Richmud 04-12-07, 06:15 PM	Pelor is a sun god. Tiamat is a dragon. Not a god, a dragon. It says dragon under type. Not outsider. That means Pelor is so much cooler than Tiamat. Tiamat is a dragon goddess. Many dragons worship her, evil ones in particular.

Richmud 04-13-07, 09:54 AM	No, tiamat is a DRAGON. It's under her type. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Tiamat is powerless... well as powerless as an immortal evil dragon with "super powers" can be. Tiamat is a deity. She has a divine realm on the first layer of hell, she uses her godly powers to cause the eggs of some dragons to hatch with one of the various spawns of Tiamat instead of a normal dragon, she has 5 color coded types of devil that serve her specifically. She is worshiped by humanoids and dragons alike. There are at least two PrCs devoted to her (both found in draconomican one for humanoids and another for dragons). She is a lesser deity so Pelor can probably defeat her, however most of her followers are significantly more powerful then most of Pelor's followers.
hobit_90 04-13-07, 10:33 AM	I like the gods: ixion(god of fire), enbar(god of wind and ice), Zendrizzt( god of lighting), Gaia(god of earth). No one can withstand one of Zendrizzts attacks it litterally rips them from the time line. They are all brothers.

Doom_Linnorm 04-16-07, 02:19 AM	The fact that Tiamat has Dragon instead of Outsider makes her part of a deity minority group. Becouse she is part of an exclusive group which Pelor could never even hope to join she is cooler then all the rather standard (boring) Outsider gods. Besides what is so good about the Outsider subtype? Dragons get better skillpoints and base attack bonus racialy and they can be raised/ressurected. (Oustiders get as a Cleric I believe while Dragons get as a Fighter.)((not 100% sure though, my books are in england and I'm in holland atm.))
Alpha_Moose 04-16-07, 06:46 PM	Dragon (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/typesSubtypes.htm#dragonType) and Outsider (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/typesSubtypes.htm#outsiderType)types. They're about the same in power. Beyond that Tiamat is 7 DvR less than Pelor, with less worshipers and less allies (evil creatures don't keep alliances very well). She's not that amazing in her portfolio (oh, evil creatures of your race. How creative!). Pelor's got that whole sun-god/commoner-god thing going, so even if he's not as 'cool' he's much more reliable. You kids and your crazy evil goddesses. In my day you had to work to worship someone! I walked 2 miles up hill both ways in a blinding snow-storm just to get a morning blessing! And the blessing took 3 hours to complete! Of course now you want all your fast drive-though e-miracles. With your pants hanging on down and your rap music. Why I remember in 1952 when... *continues incoherent drivel*

Hehe. :D Pelor: a dude convinced me on this one... :D Bonus points for having a powerful PrC made to fit him and for having his face as his holy symbol. :clap: Clangeddin: if I play a dwarf and I want to fight.

Desmotes 04-17-07, 02:21 PM	And always remember... darkness is simply the absence of light. :) The "existence" of darkness simply relies on the "presence" of light. :D :dancin: Shall you not lie! The existence of darkness is natural cause of mass blocking the light. And EVERY mass IS blocking light. So, complete absence of darkness means: Annihilation of all what is, thus, eternal and omnipresent Light is indeed pure "evil" by itself. Thus, Pelor IS indeed an evil God. He fools you, lightey guys! And because he´s evil, I should obey him, but since he´s boring anyway and got a very fooly crowd (you got pwned by him! Hah! Start thinking nect Tiem when obey to a God) I do NEVER want to be related with (except of the that I cause War unto them pity fools), I don´t do so. But, well, speaking with a Pelorian... *giggles*:rolleye2: And I don´t really ahve a favourite God yet (quite fresh I am), just take someone causing Death and everything else painful and who suffocates the weak.:fight!:

M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-17-07, 05:04 PM	So far a review of my list: Nice. BTW, am I the dude? I've decided to do a list of the best evil gods. Later I'll do the best good gods; and to be fair, I won't include Pelor! Hextor- Six armed Demon and halfbrother of the god of pallys? Wow that's really cool. However, he is sort of fat and blading. And that grey skin is kinda creepy. But his church is mainstream, and feared, so you don't get those creepy cultists. Over all **** Vecna- God of secrets, but couldn't tell that his luitenet was going to turn on him? LAME ** Nerull- God of Death. Has a lightsaber sycthe, and no skin on his face. However he is still able to grow a beard. Cool **** Erythunul- God of slaughter. Changes form in combat, so is very freaky to fight. Has huge morningstar, and is a great fighter. However, far to chaotic and evil to go mainstream. Ehh *** Grummsh- God of Orcs * Defeated by Elf -* Awesome battle scar ** Given to by elf -** PrC ability lets you spit in someones eye to blind them **** Still... elf -** Overall ** Tiamat- Goddess of evil dragons. Five headed, and all breath weapons. Has spawn of tiamat. Not outsider, but Dragon, and still a godess. ***** St. Cuthbert- God of devil suporters. Most evil god ever. He supported devils -*
Longstrider23 04-17-07, 06:04 PM	Lendys, draconic god of justice (Draconomicon, pg. 35). Domains: Destruction, Law, Protection, Dragon, and for all us FR lovers, Retribution.
Desmotes 04-18-07, 07:41 AM	Oh... it on. *Faithkeep gets pulled in front of me* Your'll lucky he's holding me back! I'm going to holy smite all over your face! Learn to write properly. I could write "proper" english whenever I want, but that´s not the case. I simply don´t want to, I prefer it that way. :P And to the Pelor thing: You know I´m right, you just don´t want to accept it, Pelorian. See, there is no such thing as "good", Pelor´s Light only fools you. You believe in goodness, Moral and Law because it is more pleasant than believing in a World without such (wich is indeed the case). I shall not further explain to thee, I hope ye will recognize one day, when Truth finally has overcome thine naiv beliefs. So far, Good Day. *Turns without considering you and your anger anymore and leaves like nothing special happened*

EvilDeathBee 04-19-07, 10:26 PM	Heironious all the way. He has such fun RPing capabilities. Playing as Heironious' hand of fury, smiting evil and judging the unworthy. You can really get into the Chaotic Good domain with him.

Zragon 04-21-07, 12:52 AM	I personly like Oi the Ninefold Dragon and the father of ALL dragons, inculding the other dragon deities
Ceirnian 04-21-07, 01:09 AM	Freya is my favorite, but not the current incarnation... they made her look horrid. Though my old priest of Freya is effectively retired, I always imagine her to look more like Valkyrie Profiles version (http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c130/DanXeno/freya.jpg). So much more badass than the ever changing D&D version. (Gotta love how she was about Fire back in 1st/2nd, and now she's into air randomly? Valkyries use to be CE. Bah to all that) Ether Strike ftw.

karmatic_sliver 04-21-07, 04:16 AM	if i had to choose in DnD and Real life, id still probably go with nerull. sure theres the scheming and backstabbing and killing, but in death, all are equal, something that is painstakingly false while we live. while i am dubbed "cultists" by others, i simply wait, as a herald to your end...
Ikyotojin 04-21-07, 08:10 AM	Isn't there a god of "sitting around drinking beer and waving as the adventurers march off to die, then we get to comfort all their women"? I want that one.

EvilDeathBee 04-21-07, 07:10 PM	Where did the St. Cuthbert pic, and do Heironious or Pelor have a moustache?
Alpha_Moose 04-21-07, 10:56 PM	Where did the St. Cuthbert pic, and do Heironious or Pelor have a moustache? It's from the Deities and Demigods (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ag/20020628a) book. Heironious does not have a mustache, and Pelor has a full beard. The picture says it all doesn't it? :love: And the mustache seems more like a western type one that an old sheriff would have. :tiphat: A western sheriff really works well for Cuthbert. I can just imagine him with a hat and shotgun... killing zombies.
E_Morrow 04-21-07, 11:57 PM	Yeah, I would have to go with Evening Glory. She represents, quite literally, undying and eternal love. :love:
MagusBlack 04-22-07, 12:41 AM	This is the laST *******ED STRAW (caps lock was a convenient accident)! Evening Glory must die! To the archives, everybody! Vecna's secrets (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=83597) are open to all if only you join our shadow war against Evening Glory! Evening Glory's interesting. Romantic, in a creepy, necrophiliac kinda way. Yeah, I would have to go with Evening Glory. She represents, quite literally, undying and eternal love. :love: :heehee So much for the shadow war, eh Khadmus? Don’t worry Vecna will get back to you latter. He’s currently having his weekly therapy with Evening Glory…he can be such a sensitive god at times :ayyyy!:.
Faithkeep 04-22-07, 03:01 AM	IA western sheriff really works well for Cuthbert. I can just imagine him with a hat and shotgun... killing zombies. Yes siree he does. :w00t: And he's gonna go: "You have until the count of ten to get out of my town... one... two... *BLAM!!*... ten." :tiphat: Now talking about Pelor's picture in Deities and Demigods... they really could have done it better. I mean, Pelor is an amazing greater deity so his picture could be a lot greater than this: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/dd_gallery/dd1/Pelor_p90.jpg The depiction of the face is amazing... very... uhm... omnipotent-looking. But for a god of strength and glory, the depiction of his body and his robes could be a bit more... powerful and awe inspiring. I mean, check out Zeus: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/dd_gallery/dd2/Zeus_p102.jpg He also has the old-man-father effect and yet his over all look is quite majestic. I know Pelor is a lot kinder, like a kindly old man, but hey... his face seems kind enough already to fill up the healing and caring part of him, that the rest of the picture needs a bit more of that glory-strength-sun majesty. :) Hehe... sorry for the rant and no offense to the artist (amazing art nonetheless). :D I was just expecting Pelor to look a bit more godly. :D And maybe Fharlanghn too... http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/dd_gallery/dd1/Fharlanghn_p68.jpg I mean... he does have a divinity rank... :D

Convert to GG, he is the only wat to go! or cchthulhu, god of the message boards.:coolcthul

Ikyotojin 04-22-07, 05:18 PM	And maybe Fharlanghn too... http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/dd_gallery/dd1/Fharlanghn_p68.jpg I mean... he does have a divinity rank... :D Oh no... he looks like my dad! No - seriously! Looks just like him! He's a dirty old Irish man who likes the ladies and drinks ONLY Guinness ("Water? You drink that stuff from the tap? Water will do as long as it hasn't been bathed in too often, but I'd rather go thirsty thank you.") and ONLY from a glass ("Cans are an abonination to good beer!"). Wow... I'm the son of a god!

Pangeon 04-23-07, 11:54 PM	My personal (http://www.freewebs.com/journal_of_icsaduar/godsofxantos.htm) favorites are Elumentus, Grehillen, and Ckassi. :D

Zousha_Omenohu 04-24-07, 03:05 PM	I'd have to say that Heironeous has always appealed to me. He and his followers have that sort of Knights of the Round Table feeling. I'm thinking that sometime I'm going to have to play a paladin dedicated to him.
Infinitum 04-24-07, 05:30 PM	Istus controls fate and ensures the course of the present as it flows from the future. Technically speaking, this means she owns you all. She is even a Greater deity :)
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-24-07, 11:56 PM	Yeah, Istus is a greater deity, but Pelor is the Greatest Deity.
Faithkeep 04-25-07, 12:20 AM	Yeah, Istus is a greater deity, but Pelor is the Greatest Deity. :D I knew something like this was coming. :D Pelor is indeed that great. :)
TimelordSimone 04-25-07, 12:37 PM	What? Olidamara? You've probably never met Graz'zt, the gorgous handsome sexy demon prince of... sexiness! What!? Why have I never heard of this guy before? I feel my faith in Olidamara ebbing away as we speak...
Naderion 04-25-07, 01:38 PM	Graz'zt is in fact one of the three demon princes of the abyss. He resembles very much a large and well build human, but has black skin, glowing eyes, small horns and double-jointed legs. Of all the demon lords, he is the least brutal and destructive and has quite good controll over himself, but he's as evil and chaotic as every demon lord, but his strategy are treachery and seduction and he has an incridible wide range of magical abilities. His cultists are as mad as those of every other demon, but they are not destructive maniacs but greedy hedonists, that care as much for their own pleasure as for their master. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/fc1_gallery/100417.jpg http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/alumni_grazzt_fc1.jpg http://lifedragn.com/images/grazzt.jpg Played a female cleric of Graz'zt and I hope to play her again soon. :D
TimelordSimone 04-25-07, 03:55 PM	Hmm... Quite a problem I face... Continue to worship Olidamara...(By which I mean, continue to get really drunk and wake up next to random guys) or start worshipping this guy, and descend the path of evil... Tricky...
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-25-07, 04:23 PM	Or screw both of them, and worship Pelor! And by screw I mean forget them, not do the sexy time with them.
Naderion 04-25-07, 04:44 PM	And would Palor like to screw us? :D I'm not really familiar with Greyhawk, but to me, Palor appears to be one of the most balnd gods ever. It's as fun as JHWH. I wish I had that picture of Grazzt and Igwylf as a poster on the wall. (The cloak there is actually made of balor-hide.)
TimelordSimone 04-25-07, 06:40 PM	Naderion, I think I am officially joining you in worship of Grazzt. I am clearly weak willed. haha (btw, I've always thought Pelor to be the dullest god) (Don't smite me)
Infinitum 04-25-07, 06:41 PM	I hate Pelor. Pelor can burn in the abyss for all I care. He has no flavor, something I find very important.
TimelordSimone 04-25-07, 07:13 PM	Maybe we should start a 'who's your least favourite deity' thread. hehe Good to see I'm not the only one who doesn't like Pelor though. yay
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-25-07, 11:31 PM	I hate Pelor. Pelor can burn in the abyss for all I care. He has no flavor, something I find very important. Or maybe he has too much flavor for you _E minds to comprhend it? *fill in the blank with L/N/C Maybe we should start a 'who's your least favourite deity' thread. hehe Good to see I'm not the only one who doesn't like Pelor though. yay My vote goes to all gods besides Pelor. And would Palor like to screw us? No. And it's Pelor, not Palor.
Oakes 04-26-07, 01:38 AM	I've always had a big soft spot for Fharlanghn. He's an especially open-ended god that seems like a goldmine for adventurers to worship in their time of need. Plus, there's always the allusions to his mortal forms; frankly, I have trouble imagining any other deity would be one you could imagine was a "real person." Tiamat also gets points for the fairly obvious similarities shared with Takhisis. She'd be my first choice for an evil deity to actively worship. Banjo has too few followers for me to really ascribe to his church. He needs to be able to get his serious smite on, or offer a wicked class option for me to consider him.
DreadArchon 04-26-07, 06:24 PM	+1 for Fharlangh! :D
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-26-07, 07:06 PM	I'm going to settle this right now. Stephen Colbert, will you please come post on this thread and answer the following question? Pelor: great deity, or the greatest deity?
The_Shaman 04-26-07, 07:26 PM	Tymora, Kelemvor and Selune, in no particular order.
Rian Lightblade 04-26-07, 07:32 PM	(I'm sure this has been said before) As a DM I'd have to say ME :D Honestly in FR it's always been, Tymora, Torm, Helm and Shar. For DL Kiri Jolith and and Reorx
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-26-07, 07:42 PM	Come on Colbert, or should I just put you down for the greatest?
Luis_Dragunov 04-26-07, 08:48 PM	Wee Jas... definetely. Magic and Death, the very essence of medieval fantasy. How can you infidels not worship Her Magnificence?
Zandilar 04-27-07, 02:17 AM	Heya, My favorite? All the goddesses. :P Seriously, I am most familiar with the gods of the Forgotten Realms, and my top ten list is... 1. Tymora 2. Mystra 3. Eilistraee 4. Sharess 5. Loviatar 6. Red Knight 7. Selune 8. Angharaddh 10. Meilikki The top 4 are really equal in my eyes as far as my fondness goes. With the Core deities, I am rather partial to both Wee Jas and Ehlonna. Real World Deities in DnD, Sif, Athena, Bast, Tyche. Mmm yes. Goddesses. :love:
TimelordSimone 04-27-07, 05:41 PM	Hmm... I'm thinking I'm gonna have to settle for Olidamara He's sexy in a less terrifying way than the demon guy. I think I already gave props to Hera... Gotta love Dionysus as well though. If only for the fact that he is absolutely insane. Who doesn't love an insane god? I also do quite like Wee Jas. She is cool. But overall... OLIDAMMARA FTW!!!
docballen 04-28-07, 02:33 PM	Yeah, I said that I loved the Olidammara picture in Deities and Demigods. The picture of Pelor does not match the description-- "Pelor, deity of the sun, is depicted as an older man in white, with wild hair and a beard of shining gold." But the picture shows him in brown and he just has a kinda-blonde beard. (I wish the illustrators had conferred with the writers a little more closely.) It's a good picture, but Pelor deserves better. And Fharlanghn's holy symbol is not what is described in the description either... "disc bearing a curved line with an upturned crescent above"... I would have described the image used in the book as "disc bearing a curved line with a downturned crescent above"... (Man I wish I knew how to post those pictures...!!!) An upturned crescent looks like a little boat, a downturned crescent looks like.. a little shelter. Or a little hill. But then again, I shouldn't complain... I don't look anything like my avatar here.
Enigmous 04-28-07, 03:56 PM	Nerull. His staff kill any living thing it touches.
Toast_recon 04-28-07, 07:53 PM	M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0, if you are a fan of Saint colbert, then I hereby offer a hand of peace. BEcause he is a deity we can all enjoy. Seriously, I really woulda thought you would be a dr phil kinda guy. :hides: Just kidding!
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-29-07, 06:03 AM	I hate Phil. He isn't a real dr. anyways. I think he sucks bantha poodoo. I was so upset when Colburtle the Turtle lost the race.
Faithkeep 04-29-07, 06:50 AM	I hate Phil. He isn't a real dr. anyways. I think he sucks bantha poodoo. Sorta like how Cuthbert isn't a real St.? :) But yeah. He sucks alright. A clip of where he tries to look high and mighty. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=1mpZ1edJaKk) He watched the clips before. He could have asked the guy to not come on stage beforehand. And he doesn't wanna publicize Bums? And yet he shows clips of it on his show... right. Cuthbert should smite this guy with his mace. :D
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 04-29-07, 12:20 PM	Sorta like how Cuthbert isn't a real St.? :) Exactly Cuthbert should smite this guy with his mace. :D Then I probably at least make a rather large donation to the Curch of Cuthbutt.
Barnwellknight 04-29-07, 02:03 PM	Here are my favorite D&D Deities (in order from most favorite to least favorite): 1. St. Cuthbert, Pelor, Ehlonna, Garl Glittergold, Yondalla, and Moradin 2. Boccob 3. Heironeous and Eilistraee 4 (Least favorites) Wee Jas Deities I hate: Nerull, Hextor, Zarus, and Vecna

Barnwellknight 04-29-07, 07:06 PM	Vecna creeps me out. That's why I have Vecna and Nerull (who also creeps me out) team up in my campaign world! Wait...that's not good... You blasphemous dog... Umm...Last time I checked, Nerull didn't care what good adventurers thought of him.
Rowan_Whispercloak 04-29-07, 07:34 PM	Core: Wee Jas (the Dragon Magizine article added ice cream to the cake of Witch Queen goodness), though Zuoken or Xan Yae come very close. Forgotten Realms: I don't really have a favorite for that world, I I haven't played much in that in such a long time. Ravenloft: Morning Lord, after him the Wolf God. Eberron: Traveler
Azreil Nightshade 05-01-07, 10:46 PM	Number One Favorite God... Kratos. Then Probably Zues then Wee Jas

MrSpaceBear 05-02-07, 01:42 AM	KULEMVOR THE JUDGE OF THE DAMED The one and only god of the dead. Ruler of the Plain of Fugu. Judger and Regulator of all souls. Holder of the Great Scales. Weilder of the mighty bastard sword Fatal Touch. Destroyer of all Undead. Subjigator of the Nine Hells. Lover of the Great Goddess of Magic Mystra. Kulemvor, before he was raised to the rank of diety, was just a simple soldier/adventurer who was cut down on the battle field. He took with him his soldierly values and even handedness. Now he rules over the vast and endless wheat feilds of the Fugu plain. The place where all souls reside once they die. Within a tenday the gods they worshiped send avatars to collect them. If they are rejected by their god, or had no god in life, they move towards the great necropolis at the heart of the plain. There they march by the thousands into Kulemvors great Cristal Tower to stand before him. There he judges them on their good works. The old god of death Jurgul the Uncareing, records all procedings. If their deeds out weigh the evil they may live in the necropolis. If they were too evil they are placed into the energy wall (The Wailling Wall) that protects the city from devils. In one week, the soul in the wall will disipate into nothing. Devils are allowed to entice souls with no god to come to the nine hells. Some times devils attack the city to try to capture souls, if this happens Kulemvor will go forth and wreak havock on the Nine hells as punishment for their deed. Also, He despises undead and feels all souls have their place. Undead disrupt this order. He despises killing, as this causes untimely death, and only orders those who cause too much untimely death to die. His clerics offer comfort to the dieing, officiate over funerals, bury the dead after battles, and tend cemetaries.
pisdo 05-03-07, 02:40 PM	Kelemvor! because it's cool...and strong and very charismatic
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 05-03-07, 05:56 PM	Pelor! because he's cool...and strong and very charismatic
cat_god 05-03-07, 06:22 PM	I'll say again, Myrkul. He's cooler than Kelemvor.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 05-03-07, 06:26 PM	i'll say it again, Pelor. He's cooler than Myrkul.
Dracomortis 05-03-07, 07:06 PM	Vecna's cool for one reason, and I'll tell you why: he alone knows the answer to questions such as why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch and how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 05-03-07, 10:27 PM	Yeah but does he know the Ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything? Why don't you just go commune with him for a while to find out?
MrSpaceBear 05-04-07, 01:00 AM	Kulemvor, because even gods die. And he would be the first one in line to clean up the fallout. Plus the goddess of magic is his bizznitch, thats just how he rollz G-dog.
Naderion 05-05-07, 02:00 PM	And don't forget, that Kelemvor got his divine position just because the seat was vacant after the old god of death was killed... ;)
Toast_recon 05-05-07, 05:02 PM	Alright...I have to say it. Most core gods are either tight assed,evil, tree huggers, or would betray you in a heart beat. The only ones who don't fit this category are Fharlagn(I finally got it right..I think) and Garl glittergold. Sorry, but pelor seems kinda tight assed to me.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 05-05-07, 06:39 PM	PELOR IS NOT TIGHT ASSED!

Eatable_Dice 05-06-07, 04:52 PM	Celestian....Fharlangh´s brother, so I guess I would have to drink with the guys above.
Galahdeon 05-06-07, 05:05 PM	I have to say i would be atheist till i actualy met any of the gods, and even then i might just blow them off as nut jobs. Also i have had one of my characters attacked by another god after he yelled out all gods are bastards. I thought it was halarious my Dm was just showing of and my fellow players were wondering about my sanity.
Demonlord_Slayer8 05-06-07, 05:07 PM	It's pretty hard deciding.... (a sign of being a newbie, I guess), but, I guess Bahamut and several other dragon dieties appeal to me. Of the core dieties...Fharalaghn (sp?) and Olidamara are my favorites (Wee Jas is cool, too.) Most others.. are kind of out of touch with me. My characters genrally are not very rightious, or, if they are good, they try to down-play themselves alot (especially of they are distined to be great). I also like the Demon Princes, but I guess they don't count as dieties (do they?). I dislike them for PC clerics, but, I actually enjoy them all as villains or for the ones evil NPCs worship rather than something the PCs are worshipping. You may call me a goody-twoshoes now. But, those are my thoughts for now.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 05-06-07, 05:10 PM	^^^ You should worship Pelor! He is awesome!
Demonlord_Slayer8 05-06-07, 05:32 PM	I do have a respect for the Sun God. Genrally, though, I don't play a cleric of his faith. However...if he hates demon lords... I can make him a major ally in my campaign I am working on.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 05-07-07, 05:04 PM	Yes, Pelor is pleased. And as for people who don't even admit His awesomeness: *puts on armour, and raises a slowly clenching fist "I find your lack of faith in the Sun God disturbing."
Demonlord_Slayer8 05-07-07, 05:17 PM	Well, in that case, welcome, Pelor, to the pantheon of Daiyun! (A campaign I am working on- now, if I ever get a chance to DM.) Also, I guess it wouldn't be bad to play a cleric of Pelor- Besides, the sun domain and healing make for a nice combination.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 05-07-07, 05:28 PM	Yay! Pelor is very pleased. I believe I'll be getting some extra spells per day for that! Also If any wants a walkthrough on rping a good pelorite, just ask and I'll start a thread.
Demonlord_Slayer8 05-07-07, 05:54 PM	Yay! That would be very helpful! Also, I am inventing a diety of my own (I'll be making a different thread for that soon). But, I will say, her name is Laudia, and she created a race called the Gildantine (I posted a thread on them in the RACES section, all comments welcome, please help!) Hopefully, she will be worthy of an ally of Pelor. But, I guess we won't know until I have her up. ^_^ But, yeah, a thread on that would be great.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 05-07-07, 06:46 PM	Hopefully, she will be worthy of an ally of Pelor. But, I guess we won't know until I have her up. ^_^ But, yeah, a thread on that would be great. I will look into this for you, young cleric.
Infinitum 05-07-07, 06:52 PM	Pelor can go dig a hole somewhere. All hail Istus! She is the one whom connects the future to the present. She is the keeper of Fate and the flow of Time.
Novabomb 05-07-07, 06:58 PM	Where is the love for the almighty? Pun-Pun be his name.

d24478667 05-07-07, 07:55 PM	Frostbite, from Lords of Creation! Or did you mean published by WotC?
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 05-08-07, 05:21 PM	Technically Cthulhu isn't a god. It is an intersteller planetary creature. Not deity, but just as powerful.
Blazanar 05-08-07, 07:02 PM	my favorite god would have to be moradin..hes a bad mama jamma
THETUNNELRAT 05-08-07, 07:15 PM	All praise Graz'zt.:plotting: :evillaugh :emp: He grants spells and other awesome powers to his faithful in the realms their for he is a God + Demon Lord:D
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 05-08-07, 09:54 PM	^^^ Not a good thing to say, seeing as how Pelor (a thread favorite{Yes he is, just look how many posts are dedicated to him}) Is more powerful than Graz'zt, and he has just teamed up with Laudia. I suggest you just scuttle back on to the Abyss.
Doom_Linnorm 05-09-07, 03:00 AM	The only reason Pelor is quoted so much in this thread (both good and bad, and make no mistake, a LOT of bad.) is because you keep spamming on about him! :D
Daebereth 05-09-07, 10:48 AM	Shar. Because my first divine caster had her as a patron and maybe I got a little too engrossed with it all..... *cough* Points to Tiamat though, for the whole Entropy thing. Amuses me to no end.
Dracomortis 05-09-07, 03:52 PM	^^^ Not a good thing to say, seeing as how Pelor (a thread favorite{Yes he is, just look how many posts are dedicated to him}) Is more powerful than Graz'zt, and he has just teamed up with Laudia. I suggest you just scuttle back on to the Abyss. Fool. The Abyss has an infinite number of layers. On those layers, there exists an infinite number of creatures of a power infinite in scope. Pelor cannot hope to scathe the surface of our infernal realms.
Toast_recon 05-09-07, 04:46 PM	Fool. The Abyss has an infinite number of layers. On those layers, there exists an infinite number of creatures of a power infinite in scope. Pelor cannot hope to scathe the surface of our infernal realms. good point! I can see why a deity would want to be neutral, as to have double the friends.
Infinitum 05-09-07, 05:04 PM	Fool. The Abyss has an infinite number of layers. On those layers, there exists an infinite number of creatures of a power infinite in scope. Pelor cannot hope to scathe the surface of our infernal realms. It is rather unfortunate that the immense power of the abyssal planes may not be focused into a single power :( But of course Istus could just change the course of future to present to ensure the defeat of said abyssal creatures :rolleyes:

Milotus 05-10-07, 02:47 AM	All deities fear him... and demon lords do his biddings. Tharizdun...
Doom_Linnorm 05-10-07, 08:24 AM	Word just in, pelor sucks....wait, this is LAST year's newspaper. Yes, but as someone else said, Devil propaganda isn't the best place to find news. You'll find it first apeared in "The Arborea Times" then later the article was reprinted and confirmed in "Celestia Daily", simultaneously various random Demons claimed the same thing. Shortly after that the BPP (Baator Propeganda Press) decided to for the heck of it, put a truthful article in their paper. Even the Slaadi croaked and mimed it to each other.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 05-10-07, 04:22 PM	Pelor is cool, your gods aren't. nuff said.
d24478667 05-10-07, 05:33 PM	Hey, Frostbite is the definition of cool. He's a God of Winter, the former god of winter's ex-herald before the other one killed himself, and he banished a far realms entity that was more powerful then him by using an arrow and some shards of a stone prison. Perhaps a temporary alliance between the two? But Pelor has to agree not to melt Frostbite's realm.
Cariyaga 05-10-07, 06:48 PM	Olidammara all the way. For god's sake, it's a religious act to lie, cheat, and steal!
DaelricHearthsinger 05-10-07, 07:39 PM	Read below for my goddess of choice. After all who doesn't look forward to worshipping when it involves wine, women, & song. Followed by more wine, followed by more women, followed by more song. Followed by a brief rest period, followed by, well to quote "Lather, Rinse, Repeat...". And when the preisthoods of Sune and Sharess get together, well the stories would have made Azoun blush. And don't forget Tymora.. sometimes it's better to be lucky than good :)
Mulkr 05-10-07, 09:04 PM	O.K., in order, here are gods that deserve worshipers. Pelor will never be on this list. They are core only. There are definantly non-core ones that deserve it, but i don't know about them, so lets just say core-only. Ehlonna, corellon, kord, Wee jas, Boccob, Fharlanghn, Obad-hai, Olidammara, Hextor, Nerull, Vecna, Erythnul, Gruumsh, and my homebrew, Vitlia, nuetral evil goddess of death and war, sister of nerull, wife of hextor, best freind of Erythnul, and Gruumshes neice. Shes also lilth's cheif advisor. You don't mess with tight black leather wearing, double-bladed sword weilding, hot as heck goddesses with this many connections. Period.
Doom_Linnorm 05-11-07, 03:41 AM	Pelor is cool, your gods aren't. nuff said. Oooh he's out of arguments. I win. :D Just kidding, I like harassing you a bit. You're a funny guy Paradiso. Coolness points to Mr.Thiefy god. Wine, Women and Song. Religious act to lie, cheat and steal. Brilliant!
CybrSpacJake 05-11-07, 04:18 AM	Olidammara...why you ask? Two reasons: 1. Being good natured and roguish are his beliefs And reason two?

Well I definitely wouldn't worship a god that requires his offspring to be ritually mutilated, tortured and sacrificed in the most horrible manner possible. (definitely a god who's LE) Then require my worshipers to practice cannibalism on a weekly basis as a sign of faith. Give me tree hugging androgyny any day man.
d24478667 05-13-07, 08:48 PM	Are you saying I would? Because, as I posted, my favored god is a CG god of winter, and requires no mutilation, torture, or sacrifices.

You really can't. Plus he's the only deity that Ao trusts. Also, he killed Mystra, which nets him bonus points in my book.

Prof. Pacali 05-18-07, 12:39 PM	I'd have to say Pholtus. It takes a lot of guts for a deity to champion monotheism in front of the whole pantheon.
sciborg2 05-19-07, 01:10 AM	Also, he killed Mystra, which nets him bonus points in my book. Too bad he didn't gut her Chosen too. It takes a lot of guts for a deity to champion monotheism in front of the whole pantheon. Seems like Nerull's going for the same thing, as is Tharizdun in a bigger way. I'd be more impressed by a god preaching atheism/apostasy in front the whole pantheon.
Infinitum 05-20-07, 06:31 PM	Meh. Nerull doesn't really advocate anything. His goal is to kill everything. Now Tharizdun and Incabulos, those two are the ones you gotta watch for....
Archmage_of_Blood 05-21-07, 06:07 PM	Okay. Nerull people? You listening? I hadn't looked at this in a while, but you need to stop saying that you'll kill Evening Glory. We work to the same end. Let us band together against the Pelorites. In fact... maybe our patrons should create one, Perfect Being of Death? Their Child, in development (*snicker*) here! (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?p=12458568#post12458568) P.S. I realize that many people will oppose this. No flaming please.

Even though he was defeated by Tempus, Lord of Rat-Dicks, anytime i play a character i end up a chaotic neutral, walking the thin line twixt neutral and evil...and i always thing war is a good thing...so Garagos is the only one for me :D (plus his clerics ae bloodreavers, and thats just badass :P)
TheCrawlingSpleen 05-22-07, 11:19 PM	I don´t really have a favourite God yet (quite fresh I am), just take someone causing Death and everything else painful and who suffocates the weak.:fight!: He of Eternal Darkness is always on the lookout for new cultists! All that's necessary is an aptitude for causing destruction and pain, and a willingness to see all of existence go bye-bye. Of course, if you're not into that whole "end of the world" thing, Hextor might fit the bill better.
Sleepwalker13666 05-22-07, 11:42 PM	Pelor is cool, your gods aren't. nuff said. Well despite that convincing argument, I'm sticking with Lady Loss and the Ruby Sorcerous, even you have to admit Shar and We-Jas look way better in skintight black leather than Pelor does. :D Juries still out on the Buttless chaps though. :ayyyy!:
TheCrawlingSpleen 05-22-07, 11:42 PM	All deities fear him... and demon lords do his biddings. Tharizdun... :w00t: Another follower of Big T! Break out the wine and sacrificial victims!
Dracomortis 05-23-07, 04:01 PM	:w00t: Another follower of Big T! Break out the wine and sacrificial victims! I hear there's a meeting down at the church of Pelor. They should have plenty of both.
Archmage_of_Blood 05-23-07, 04:10 PM	Bring the fight to them!
Monsco 05-23-07, 10:40 PM	Im not an evil person (Id like to think), but... THE GREAT MOTHER!!!! WOOT!:behold:

LordDraxcis 05-26-07, 11:44 PM	Ted the 'flayer. Because nothing can best a god of background horrors and fry-ups. Yes. I must go with Ted, for he is truly the best of them all. But Garyx is pretty cool too, I guess.
Olidammara 05-27-07, 01:40 AM	guess. i dare you. he's the closest thing to what i am in real life (nothing like comparing yourself to a god). i'm a music major, i have no said religion, just the belief that life is short, live it, and live it well. i make wine (nerdy, but w/e), so that's just cool. finally (i'm sorry to anyone this offends), whenever i see someone that i know wont kill me or have me arrested that looks like they've spent thier entire life in a book, under a rock, in a church, homeschooled, or otherwise life, reality and fun deprived, i rattle their cage a bit, by getting them drunk, pretending i'm gay to freak em out, w/e it takes. so yeah, he's a hell of a lot like me.

M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 06-05-07, 02:28 AM	Yeah!! Olidammara baby!! (Who clearly looks the best in skin-tight black leather ;) ) I trhink you mean Pelor. And once again, Pelor and i have a very professional relationship only! You know, the type of relationship a pimp has with a hoe.
strife_001 06-05-07, 03:51 AM	Forgotten Realms: Mask or Aoskar ( One of my characters -A sorcerer/cleric of Mask- is still trying to revive him, in a level 3-18 game, right from the start, just because he doesn't like the lady of pain and wants someone to challenge her ) D&D Generic: Wee Jas
syrinth 06-05-07, 04:04 AM	Hmmm four-way tie between Corellon *ignoring his picture in Deities and Demigods*, Boccob, Vecna and Lolth
Archmage_of_Blood 06-05-07, 09:58 PM	I trhink you mean Pelor. And once again, Pelor and i have a very professional relationship only! You know, the type of relationship a pimp has with a hoe. We say that too many people support Pelor. Anyone else notice that 75% of that support is this guy?
Alpha_Moose 06-05-07, 10:08 PM	We say that too many people support Pelor. Anyone else notice that 75% of that support is this guy? I don't know, he is pretty good. Not great, but good. Hmmm four-way tie between Corellon *ignoring his picture in Deities and Demigods*, Boccob, Vecna and Lolth Boccob is clearly the best of those. Even ignoring Corellon's picture, he's still not that great an elf god. Go with Feanor (http://www.glyphweb.com/ARDA/f/feanor.html). Now that guy was cool. None of this fairy, pansy, 'frolicking in the woods' elf. Ti$ gUy 4r3 teh UbER Pwnz0rs. That hurt my head.
syrinth 06-05-07, 10:10 PM	hmmm also Eilistraee, Sehanine Moonbow... Io... Im sure I'm missing some others. What? I like a lot of characters >_>
Nat_20 06-05-07, 10:27 PM	I only really know of the Fearun and generic PHB deities, but out of those i have to say Wee Jus, Lolth, and Bahamut
drtompki 06-06-07, 12:56 AM	The only worshipper that I have was a 1/2 gold dragon dragonslayer from the AD&D module Council of Wyrms. When I ported him over to 3.0 I kept him as a follower of Io. It has become his goal to convince Io that it would be benefitial to start investing in mortals as well as the dragons.
KedynCrow 06-06-07, 04:43 PM	Man, what is this? No love for Ms. Murphy herself? Beshaba. Mistress of Misfortune and the Laughing Lady behind every roll of Snake-eyes. Honestly, one of the coolest deities flavor-wise I've ever heard of. Worshipping the very embodiment of misfortune just so that it doesn't afflict you? That's pretty hardcore. 'Course Banjulhu is pretty damned cool too. :coolcthul
Sulacu 06-06-07, 06:16 PM	My favorite deity is Boccob. He's nice and indifferent, and he looks completely awesome. A bit like my grandpa really. If he's not into cannabis, I don't know what.
Toast_recon 06-06-07, 06:23 PM	I have been gone to long....No one has taken my place to Spread the word(the big guy is NOT pleased, so to make up for my 2 miseed pages, I will make the convert font 8 times bigger!Convert to garl glittergold while there is still time! REPENT! REPENT....That is all.

Sulacu 06-06-07, 07:16 PM	I like Blibdoolpoolp, too, if only for having such a funky name.
Dracomortis 06-08-07, 02:15 PM	As there seems to be a lack of love for the Pharaonic gods, I'll voice my support for Anubis. I mean come on, its a deity of the dead that isn't evil, that has black fur, and the head of a jackal. You can't say no to that.
Archmage_of_Blood 06-08-07, 10:36 PM	As the seems to be a lack of love for the Pharaonic gods, I'll voice my support for Anubis. I mean come on, its a deity of the dead that isn't evil, that has black fur, and the head of a jackal. You can't say no to that. True, true. And he has the whole "Guide of the Dead" thing going for him. Anubis gets a thumbs up in my book.
XHereticX 06-08-07, 11:23 PM	Not really a deity, but the one and only Asmodeus. I also like Orcus, Bane, Shar, Takhisis, Mephistopheles just to name a few. And Pelor is a gay old man with his freaking face as a symbol. He is what I imagine Lathander will look like in a millenia or two.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 06-09-07, 07:43 AM	I'm sorry? Are you saying Pelor looks best in skin tight black leather? :yuck: Yes And Pelor is a gay old man with his freaking face as a symbol. He is what I imagine Lathander will look like in a millenia or two. Then Lathander has something to look forwards to.
Holy Warrior 06-09-07, 07:47 AM	I have a whole list. I like Ehlonna from the Greyhawk setting, Sune from FR, and the Silver Flame from Eberron.
TimelordSimone 06-09-07, 12:59 PM	Yes EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWW!!! I can not believe you just made me imagine Pelor in skin tight black leather. You disgust me. Then Lathander has something to look forwards to. No. He really doesn't. I also think Ehlonna is pretty cool. I'd love to play a Paladin of her. Or Wee Jas... I just want to play a paladin of a weird God... EDIT Also, as far as FR goes, I think Shaundakul is pretty cool. I don't really know why... /EDIT
turalisj 06-09-07, 07:27 PM	Dragon Gods. Because every other god is just humanoid.
Ouranos Harpy 06-09-07, 10:04 PM	I simply adore Aerdrie Faenya the elven goddess of weather and winged craetures. I think I like weather deities in general but there's just something about the elven deity that just facinates me. Which is unusual, because there really isn't a lot of literature on her. I also really like Shekinester- the goddess of the Nagas and Celigune- Goddess of the Hags.
AAB 06-09-07, 11:20 PM	WEE JAS
turalisj 06-09-07, 11:20 PM	SUCKS VECNA :P
Toast_recon 06-10-07, 12:40 AM	Ok, you know it is inevitible, but who will do it. I won't. I can. But I won't. But someone will. I will not click on the link to the photoshopped picture of pelor in tight leather. Just saying. It will happen. My bet is it will be michael what's his name. It's happening. Run. I am going to the amazon. No computers there. Who's with me? And no, I wasn't talking about amazon.com Imbeciles.
TheCrawlingSpleen 06-11-07, 03:24 AM	Dragon Gods. Because every other god is just humanoid. I have to point out: Ghaunadaur, The Great Mother, Merrshaulk, The Patient One and Sekolah. Also... Mak Thuum Ngatha is for all intents and purposes a deity, although technically it's an entity from the Far Realm. Finally, while I don't want to become a dark version of the Pelor Cheerleading Squad, I have to throw Tharizdun's name in for consideration. I haven't been able to find any information on his/its appearance, but he/it certainly doesn't feel like a humanoid.
JellyPooga 06-11-07, 09:03 AM	My devotion is to the Maid of Misfortune; Beshaba. How much more fun can you have traversing the world enacting her will by inflicting all manner of petty (and not so petty) spites on all you encounter? And her favoured weapon is kinda kinky too...(she's such a naughty goddess...)
Bedlamtom 06-11-07, 11:04 AM	FHARLANGHN!!! I don't know what is about him but I've always liked him. There are many nifty gods and I enjoy all of the various tricksters and luck dieties both good and bad...and the nature dieties are all prety keen, but something about the Dweller on the Horizon just tickles me. I'm currently playing an extremely devout SoulBow...rest of the party looks at me like I'm insane when I drop a tenth of my share into this tiny roadside shrine that we'll never see again.

Dwarven_Fighter_DR20 06-11-07, 09:44 PM	Well, I'm biased- I'm the coolest D&D god. At least I think I'm the coolest Dwarf god, both Moradin and Clangeddin chose me to replace them. But if I had to choose someone else, it sure wouldn't be Pelor. My party talks about this all the time. Even Pelor's servants are cooler than he is ( Radiant Servant and the like). I guess I'm just spoiled, we have so many better deities in our homebrew world. Faerun- Tempus, or Eilistraee (a beautiful, dancing, naked Drow goddess is ok by me) Eberron-Dol Dorn, Silver Flame, or Kol Korran Greyhawk- Hextor, Heironeous, Tiamat, or Cuthbert Any Other Setting- Me :cool:
Dwarven_Fighter_DR20 06-11-07, 09:47 PM	Is that Helm? Cool, sign me up for the church of Helm. An armored god with a sword strangling what looks like a marilith, how can you go wrong with that? I am not proficient with your god, Helm. :)
Bedlamtom 06-11-07, 10:55 PM	You used the word keen. Take it back before it is too late. It is too late. GG has noticed your deadardly deed and lack of effort to repent for it, so he will kill you in your sleep. Have a nice day! Okay first off who is GG? Secondly why is it not nifty to say keen? Poor confused me.
AAB 06-11-07, 11:43 PM	Okay first off who is GG? Secondly why is it not nifty to say keen? Poor confused me. wait, now you're bringing "nifty" into the equation? (shakes head) oh, and Wee Jas.

Toast_recon 06-12-07, 04:03 PM	fixed it. Do you want to worship a god liket that??!?!?!??! Worship GG! He doesn't wear tight leather!(I know a couple gods who I might worship if they did however. NOT Erythnull. *shudders*
Trevorfrost 06-12-07, 04:04 PM	Oh my I have so many favorites, I will have to cut them down to just a top 5. #5 Anubis- Has always been one of my favorites, good death gods rock. #4 Kanchelsis- Lord of the Vampires, maybe some people remember him from 2E days from Monster Mythology. #3 Istishia- I am a huge fan of the water as an element and he's one of the few dieties that has the water domain that isn't evil. #2 Sune- Yeah thats right, she may be vain but being one of her worshippers is fun for sure... #1 Evening Glory- She combines two of my most favorite things love and undeath... She rocks
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 06-12-07, 05:42 PM	man, that Pelor pic is HOT! I always knew that you were a excellent worshipper of Pelor.
Toast_recon 06-12-07, 06:36 PM	So do you and pelor have similar interests(posing in front of the camera iin tight leather..)
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 06-12-07, 07:17 PM	Why do you ask? Nudge nudge, wink wink.
XHereticX 06-12-07, 08:28 PM	Why do you ask? Nudge nudge, wink wink. Please tell me that your female, it would make this a little bit more acceptable:) .
Hellsbells 06-13-07, 09:46 AM	Thrym/tyrm/thyrm, god of the frost giants and one of the generals of ragnarok, hands down. He is just the coolest god ever, plus his more powerful servants are frost giants that have been razed to demigod and godling statis in their own right. Whats not to love? Plus it gives me an excuss to make a plain of ice. Coolest god ever.
Hellsbells 06-13-07, 09:55 AM	O and the devourer from races of stone. Hes a giant badger or wolverine who eats everything in his path that can also take the form of a giant floating slightly disturbing giant mouth that sends things to an other worldly void when he eats em and he is a god? I mean come on! Expect some apocalypze bent, suicidle, deranged gnome cultists to apear in my compaign soon. The norse and pharonic gods are all pretty cool to. My top 5: 1) Thrym/Tyrm 2) The Glutton 3) Asmodeus (technically not a god but he's cool enough 4) Tiamat 5) Surt/Surter
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 06-13-07, 10:11 AM	Please tell me that your female, it would make this a little bit more acceptable:) . ? why would that be more acceptable? Toast knows we're both joking. If you can't handle my zany antics, then goodday sir. I said goodday.

XHereticX 06-13-07, 07:44 PM	? why would that be more acceptable? Toast knows we're both joking. If you can't handle my zany antics, then goodday sir. I said goodday. I'm just joking too(note the smilley placed right after my remark). Still, the idea of anyone bedding Pelor is quite...frightning.
Toast_recon 06-13-07, 10:37 PM	we were joking?:confused: :confused: ;)
Orodruin 06-14-07, 04:43 AM	I'm just joking too(note the smilley placed right after my remark). Still, the idea of anyone bedding Pelor is quite...frightning. Well if Pelor doesn't suit you, Nerull might be up for it! :gah:

Olidammara Graz'zt Hera Shaundakul Dionysos Wee Jas (That may have been it... I am unsure... Anyway, they're all cool)
AAB 06-15-07, 07:41 PM	while Graz'zt isn't technically a god, he is by far the coolest demon lord.
Soltares 06-15-07, 08:58 PM	Wait, is this 'favorite god' as in 'god I'd most likely worship if s/he really existed' or 'favorite god' as in 'god I'd most like to lick hot chocolate off of based on the hawtness of their picture?' 'Cause those would be totally different lists. And Pelor wouldn't be on either of them...
AAB 06-15-07, 10:41 PM	and wee jas would be on both
TheCrawlingSpleen 06-15-07, 11:09 PM	while Graz'zt isn't technically a god, he is by far the coolest demon lord. What exactly is it about Graz'zt that people gravitate to? I don't really know that much about him (I'm more of a fan of the obyrith lords myself).
TimelordSimone 06-16-07, 01:39 PM	Wait, is this 'favorite god' as in 'god I'd most likely worship if s/he really existed' or 'favorite god' as in 'god I'd most like to lick hot chocolate off of based on the hawtness of their picture?'

Olidammara definitely belongs on the hot chocolate list... :P
ElberethSilverleaf 06-16-07, 10:11 PM	Corellon, Labelas, Sharess (Bast), Mystra, Mayaheine, and Istus from WOTC. Madriel and Tanil from the Scarred Lands setting are quite good too.
AAB 06-16-07, 10:20 PM	i'm a fan of Moradin, Hanseath, and - of course - FR's Thard Harr
Yeliv 06-17-07, 03:12 AM	Umm...Hextor? I like the many-armed goodness. Anyway, he's my favorite for coolness. But otherwise, it's Mephistopheles. 10/10 for Name 9/10 for Strength (Asmo beats him sadly) 10/10 for Appearance (Classics are the best)
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 06-18-07, 08:56 AM	Pelor isn't just a greater god. He's the greatest god!

I was under the impression that we were excluding real gods. Also the FSM is rather lax about stuff like that, as even in the real world where I worship it relentlesly, I still don't get spells per day. PS I'm still waiting for Stephen Colbert to come onto these boards and tell me wether Pelor is a greater god, or the greatest god.

Perhaps, but from time to time you do get to eat delicious noodly foods, do you not?
Toast_recon 06-20-07, 06:36 PM	Fool! The only gods to be worshipped are the dragon gods! Within the Razed Lands, there are no other gods! Pelor, Banguthulu(is that what Cthulu turns into when he gets horny?), and Wee Jas are non existant! All will be revealed at giantitp.com! Go! Read! Be enlightened! Banjothulu(sorry for the misspell!) shall not be forgotten! 2 more worshippersw and he will be able to smite medium humonoids! REPENT! REPENT! GO GO GO! I am one with my inner banjothulu. And my feminine side....but that is irrelevant!
TheCrawlingSpleen 06-20-07, 07:13 PM	Banjothulu(sorry for the misspell!) shall not be forgotten! Perhaps he should be, because the real name of the elder puppet is...Banjulhu! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0085.html)
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 06-20-07, 08:25 PM	Perhaps, but from time to time you do get to eat delicious noodly foods, do you not? every day at school I pray, by eating 50 cent noodle cups. So do I get a cookie for refrencing Star Wars? And if I do, then Toast should get at least half a cookie for setting up the refrence.

And if I do, then Toast should get at least half a cookie for setting up the refrence. Here is your cookie :cookie:. Toast can have whatever part you don't eat. Hey, what do I look like, a jedi? I can't just use the force to make cookies like that, you know.
bloodtalon 06-20-07, 08:45 PM	i have two gods i like the most the first is Lurue because one of my players used a prestige class from Book of Exalted Deeds and just switched one word in it. from "Beloved of Valarian" to Beloved of Lurue. and I liked her because i really never liked the big shot gods the second is Garagos just for his mindless fury he is what a barbarian should worship and I like what is said in his description.""- the other gods deal with Garagos by simply staying the he__ out of his way""
XHereticX 06-20-07, 08:53 PM	Pelor isn't just a greater god. He's the greatest god! True, the greatest at sucking.;)
Toast_recon 06-20-07, 09:38 PM	wait wait wait. Let's rewind a bit.... Reference???? I still get the cookie! Edit: ah, I see. But I was not aware of this when I posted. Reminds me of when I was creating this account. I thought of the name"toast recon" 1 month later I see a game on the store shelf:ghost recon. No Idea.

Enigmous 06-21-07, 04:23 PM	Nerull, The reaper, the Foe to All Good, Hater of Life, Bringer of Darkness, King of All Gloom, the Reaper of Flesh. The diety of Death, Nerull, is widely known and wiidely feared. His gaunt form resembles a mummified-nearly skeletal-corpse with flaky red skin, thick blackish-green hair, a cowled cloak of rusty black, and eyes, teeth, and nails the color of poisonous verdigris. His black staff, lifecutter, forms a scythelike blade of red force that slays anyone it touches. Nerull makes his home plan of Carceri. His symbol is the skull and scythe.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 06-21-07, 05:51 PM	And this is where Toast says: I've got faith in your momma. Man did I love the Robot Chicken Stars Wars episodes!

Orodruin 06-22-07, 06:34 AM	eww...I didn't know Nerull ate cats (what else do you think he does with those adopted kittens). I think he likes to snuggle with them during those cold, harsh Carcerian nights. I can't 100% vouch for that though. "I'm not a crook," sure Nixon coughNerullcouch sure. still say Pelor's more evil though... He's too hardcore to be caught snuggling kittens. Plus they'd smudge his skin-tight black leather outfit with their cute kitten noses...

Asra 08-08-07, 01:01 PM	Of the core Deities I like Hextor the most! Followed by Nerull and Wee Jas! Of the non-core, I like Evening Glory and Doresain. Mainly because I love undeath, and Doresain is the only deity that actually visits his worshippers to make them awesome(Undead).

Ikyotojin 08-12-07, 12:28 PM	I'm kinda keen on the god of Coffee right now. I have a hangover. Semi-serious question - in a fantasy world where there are multiple gods and goddesses, wouldn't the common person pray to which ever one they needed at the time? I mean, if you are an adventurer looking for a route to where ever it is you need to go, you'd pray to what's his name, the guy who looks after travelers, right? If you were about to go into battle with a horde of undead, then good old "mighty-smite" would be first on your list. Afterwards some goddess of healing would be the one getting the calls. I think only devout followers and clerics would follow only one god/dess.

Ikyotojin 08-15-07, 11:14 PM	umm thats corny:eek: Why? Care to discus? I studied history and my wife has written books about several different mythologies and the cultures they come from. It was actually VERY common to pray to different gods depending on what you needed. The only ones who didn't were the priests and priestesses of the various deities. And in some parts of the world it was common for holy people to act as intermediaries for several spirits and deities. So what's "corny" about that? If there are multiple choices on who to talk to about accomplishing a goal do you only talk to one person or pick the one who can give you the best results?
Squirrel_Lord 08-16-07, 01:27 PM	Vecna, Lord of Secrets. I like knowing more than anyone else. In addition, Tharizdun is cool too. Something about PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER is appealing. Seriously, how can you not at least respect his guy? It took all of the other gods (minus Nerull) to just imprison him. Asmodeus also deserves respect, even if he isn't truly a god.
DanubusRann 08-19-07, 03:10 AM	My favorite God is Tiamat. I love her basically because I love evil dragons and I have been playing in a NWN player group devoted to Tiamat for almost 2 yrs now. We had tons of fun and cant wait to do it again for NWN2 when we get our servers built to play.
Satanoth 08-19-07, 07:48 PM	Nerull, i been playing a long time and Nerull is the most extravagant, complex deity to characters to roleplay, Ares and Zeus also has many worshippers too. but Nerulll because the Living Dead freaking Rules :D

Rohano 08-24-07, 02:44 AM	Antioch. (See signature link) If restricted to Forgotten Realms deities, like I usually am when I play (the other DMs around here are all FR suckers), I usually just immediately commit sepukku. If restricted to core gods... I often pick Fharlaghn (while wishing I could pick his brother, who is shamedly un-core). Sometimes Pelor. When I'm a druid or ranger, almost always Obad-Hai. If a fighter, sometimes I go with Kord. Elves usually go with ol' Corellon. I started varying my god picks a bit... like Boccob and Yondalla and so on. But I keep going back to my favorites. I have a custom god named Nimo who most of my NPCs worship. Nimo had a big fight with Asmodeus and that led to a bunch of fights between cults of Asmodeus and Nimo's chosen, a long time ago. It was great fun.

M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 10-28-07, 03:55 PM	Vecna only has cow bell because he killed the cow. Also, if you read The Odessey, Apollo {aka Pelor} has huge awesome cows. However they are eaten by Odesseus' men. (Edit: can't tell if I muffed up the spelling of his name)

Wait a minute... What? They all died?!?!?! Thanks, you just saved me from raeding as much Spark Notes. Edit: I have actually read the Odessy many times, and don't suggest using Spark Notes, as they aren't as satisfying.
Lametrain 10-28-07, 09:03 PM	The best god in the game is obviously "DM". He has the power to bring good tidings upon you and your party. Also if you do the ritual dance of "BringMeChipsAndSoda" he might shower you with gold or various other gifts.

M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 11-10-07, 02:49 AM	I better like Torm since I have his Holy Symbol tattooed in my arm :OMG: I would love to see. I mean it would be cooler as Pelor, but still.
Rohano 11-10-07, 06:39 AM	I'll give cookies to anyone who posts a link to a picture of their holy symbol tattoos. Holy symbol tattoos would be a holy symbol representing some D&D-related deific being having been permanently placed upon your body.

Aleolus 11-11-07, 01:22 PM	I'd have to say Ehlonna. I mean, all of the good-aligned deities are awesome, Ehlonna just seems to have the closest to the same overall mindset as I do. Fight only when necessary, and fight to protect, not to harm.
teamfireyleader 11-14-07, 01:56 PM	Um hello, but Pelor is an evil devil turned good, so surely he'd have destructive spells/items but BoeD says the reformed villain is one of the most exalted "states".:P Also I think Talasid is the coolest thingthatisveryclosetobeingagod but pelor and kord come top on my list

Keenath 11-14-07, 02:33 PM	I always liked Bahamut, so I'm down with him becoming the 4th edition god of valor and justice for more than just dragons.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 11-14-07, 02:51 PM	What's that? St. Cuthbert is freaking awesome? No. I was commenting on the awsomeness of Pelor. "St." Cuthbutt sucks a very large, obese donkey.
Kiioro 11-21-07, 06:00 PM	(...) After all who doesn't look forward to worshipping when it involves wine, women, & song. Followed by more wine, followed by more women, followed by more song. Followed by a brief rest period, followed by, well to quote "Lather, Rinse, Repeat...".(...) I had to read EVERY single post of "Oooh, praise the lecherous old man who will feel you up to 'cure' you, Pelor" to find a brother in the faith. Sharess... I basically follow her teachings in real life (I'm basically chaotic neutral), without the wine part. It is simple: Love beauty. Do things that feel good. Make others feel good. Destroy ugliness (real ugliness, after all, inner beauty exists) and suffering. Oh, and Sharess's clerics (mostly women) must get some to refuel their spells, so it's up to us to make it happen. If Sharess isn't available (a TRUE disgrace) then count me in for Sune. If not, Malcanthet or Graz'zt.
Mr_Seth 11-21-07, 08:32 PM	Cast my vote for Zagyg, the Mad Mage, He of the Ever-Changing Name! ...although when actually playing a character, I tend to go for Bahamut (evil dragons suck, go kill evil dragons!), Olidammara (because armadillos are nifty), or Pelor (He's just a nice guy).

Matt, are you sure you should be bringing her up here? That's going to launch a great deal of questions, and I wouldn't be surprised if it drew the eyes of the WizO's.
Matthais777 11-24-07, 03:31 PM	Matt, are you sure you should be bringing her up here? That's going to launch a great deal of questions, and I wouldn't be surprised if it drew the eyes of the WizO's. Geez Zousha, other people have mentioned Homebrew Gods and Goddesses. I was just answering the question! I'm not bringing her up as a person, I'm bringing her up as a God in my homebrew Campaigns! Now, honestly, I would probably have been completely and totally ignored, and it would just be assumed she's a homebrew Goddess, with nothing more than what I mentioned even considered. However, you have made a post drawing attention to the fact, and now it will be noticed and question, counteracting the EXACT reason you posted that I shouldn't have. Seriously Zousha, think before you post! As for the WizO's, I'm not worried. Unlike somebody.. (Glare) I don't hid under a chair everytime I hear the word "WizO" I trust them to be fair and Just. Skydin has yet to do anything wrong, or do anything to get her banned, and bringing her up is not against the COC in any manner. She gave me permission to create the class and the God remeber? Publicly at a WizO's request! So, Yes, I'm sure. Now, can we just go back to listing our favorite gods?
Bran_Dawri 11-24-07, 04:54 PM	Buddha. For D&D, the Lady. And no, I worship neither, so no maze for me. I guess it does say something about me that when asked about my favorite gods, I pick entities that aren't...
teamfireyleader 11-24-07, 06:17 PM	Sorry but pelor WAS evil I now have a link in my sig proving it. Look and weep to see that you have been duped by the Godofchangingsides.
Rohano 11-25-07, 10:07 PM	Pelor isn't evil, the Burning Hate thread is for an alternate version for those people who like that kind of conspiracy aspect in their campaigns.
Matthais777 11-26-07, 10:44 AM	Pelor isn't evil, the Burning Hate thread is for an alternate version for those people who like that kind of conspiracy aspect in their campaigns. Internet stuff is never canon. Now, I've read the burning hate, found it silly and stupid, but as Rohano poited out, great for campaigns where everything is grey, and there is a conspiracy behind everything.
teamfireyleader 11-26-07, 12:11 PM	Hey it was just a joke. you were suppost to back me up so we could claim that pelor was evil. as i did. anyway pelor is evil because he hogs the healing domain:headexplo and he looks terible in leather by the way.
eternalGM 11-26-07, 08:03 PM	Boccob because he doesnt give a :censored: about mortal affairs unless you go to outland and try to steal the tome of ancient lore :P. That being said i am also a TOTAL wizard fanboy. Im DMing a wizard right now that just did a 54d6 attack against a Wyrm black dragon at level 18.... ya it is awesome...
Mesraic 11-29-07, 04:59 AM	Bane, Myrkul, Helm, or Torm. All four are awesome, and yes I know Myrkul is dead. I still can't believe Bane engineered his return but the god of death, and undead couldnt. Oh well
Matthais777 11-29-07, 06:34 PM	Hey it was just a joke. you were suppost to back me up so we could claim that pelor was evil. as i did. anyway pelor is evil because he hogs the healing domain:headexplo and he looks terible in leather by the way. Really? I've never even seen a picture of pelor.
Kiioro 11-29-07, 07:01 PM	You don't want to see a picture of Pelor, actually. Because if you've got a graphic mind, and picture him in leather, you will need a restoration spell to recover the lost wisdom/intelligence. I'd recommend looking at Beshaba, Malcanthet, Sharess or Eilistraee.

The Traveler, "Beware the gifts of the Traveler" He could be the That orc that sold you that +2 vorpal sword, or the Halfing that just carried off with your coin pouch, or the Gnome thats about to kill you. Hell, the traveler could be YOU!
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 12-25-07, 02:37 AM	St. Cuthbert. Retribution is a sweet sweet thing.... So you won't mind if I kill you and your family in a bloody rage. After all, Cuthbutt is a very evil god, and I'm just getting revenge.

If you read the thread, you'd realize that he is evil. Second, read Feindish Codex: Devils. It clearly states that before mortals were about (So how was he a mortal acended god?), he sided with the devils. So he is evil. If you worship Cuthbutt, you stand for Nazis, zombies, and the British. And that is something I can't allow.

The_Shaman 12-30-07, 06:02 PM	Hmm, you got me there. Monty Python (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_python), truly American comedy at its finest. It's a bit old though, I personally prefer Pokemon.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 12-30-07, 07:10 PM	All sarcasm aside, Gilliam was born American, therefore making the group just as American. So ha! and speaking of pokemans, I'm selling my cards, if anyone wants to buy.
The_Shaman 12-30-07, 07:28 PM	Gilliam was born American, therefore making the group just as American. So ha! Er... right. Wait, was that part also to be read without sarcasm, or did it start from the end of your post? :P Now we're kinda getting off-track here. Or maybe we can salvage this discussion and agree on the Vorpal Rabbit as a demi-god?
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 12-30-07, 07:41 PM	Well that was always assumed.

Devils are all Lawful Evil, so if they had a reason to cooperate in something, St. Cuthbert would have no problem doing so. That's what makes him neutral, he will work with anyone who will assist him in what he needs to do.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 12-31-07, 04:27 PM	But he is a Deity of Lies! How could he have sided with the Devils in a time when mortals were not in existance, and still be a mortal turned into a deity? He can't! He is a lier, and Evil.
AlanBruce 12-31-07, 06:34 PM	This is my favourite goddess, personally http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r36/AlanBruce/Eris.jpg Her role was so short, yet so pivotal...
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 12-31-07, 06:44 PM	Yeah, and she is hilarious in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
alchemyprime 12-31-07, 06:51 PM	Well, leaving my own person deity out of this (NG kid of a LG guy... had to die... yeah, I'll leave it at that), I'd say I like Denier, Olidammara, the Blood of Vol and Tanner. Really didn't like any DragonLance deities. For those who don't know, Denier is FR, Olidammara is Greyhawk (as obviously he is), Blood of Vol, while actually a cult, is the coolest religion in Eberron (Silver Flame a close second, then Becoming God), and Tanner is an interloper from the LoC thread in Campaign Workshop. Honestly crazy, but good natured, even if he is willing to be evil. Somewhat modeled him after Tennant's redition of the Doctor, with a bit of Eccleston thrown in, and an irrational hatred of undead. A CN deity of undead slaying. Fun, eh?
Aleolus 12-31-07, 07:21 PM	But he is a Deity of Lies! How could he have sided with the Devils in a time when mortals were not in existance, and still be a mortal turned into a deity? He can't! He is a lier, and Evil. OK, perhaps the FF is wrong? I mean, how many typos does Wizards put out in it's books regularly? Or, perhaps, the story about St. Cuthbert being a mortal and ascending to godhood are false stories, that the Church tells because they bring in followers? It wouldn't be the first time a church spun falsehoods as reality to bring in the masses. Or it might simply be a legend someone else started that he had nothing to do with, or any number of other things, that does not make him a lying deity.

Aleolus 01-01-08, 12:05 AM	A deity of truthiness such as him would squash any "followers" spreading such lies. So nyah, nyah Since when is St. Cuthbert a deity of truthfulness? He is a deity of vengence and retribution, who says that everyone who commits a crime must pay the price. Lying isn't a crime.

Lying isn't a crime. But lying keeps people from reaching justice. It is only reasonable that he wouldn't tolerate lies. I mean Baator, doesn't he have a green baret that keeps people from telling lies?

Sutemi 01-01-08, 06:48 AM	From D&D definately Urdlen. He... errr I mean "it"... is very unique and intense god. I usually use the name "Crawler Below" because it sounds better. Crawler Below makes gnomes certainly much more interesting as race. Sudden & heavy nosebleeds as "holy signs" are two thumbs up!

The_Shaman 01-01-08, 02:22 PM	In anime, perhaps. Normally, it's a sign of high blood pressure, I'd say. And in RL, intense arousal is likely to cause the blood to stay elsewhere
Ghengis-Clovenhoof 01-01-08, 03:22 PM	I have a friend (lose term for a soul bound adventuring companion) who says that Erythnul has a unique outlook on life. He believes that Erythnul should be the king of the gods, but he does also like the taste of his own blood and giggles like a child when he enters combat. G.

You missed a possibility, that the devil propaganda found in the fiendish codex is in fact not factually accurate in its account, primarily because its a story told by devils and devils are not known for speaking the truth when it doesn't suit them
Rohano 01-01-08, 05:00 PM	Although Fharlanghn isn't my favorite, I used to play clerics of him quite often. I had developed a series of religious colloquialisms for use in regular speech, sort of modelled on things you might hear from a religious person in the modern age. A couple examples: "Godspeed to you!" = "Smooth roads to you!" "By the savior/prophet!" = "By the guide!" For a while I was trying to develop a church of Celestian for D20, without suffering myself to plunder Living Greyhawk material, because he's like Fharlaghn 2.0, but I eventually decided that it was a lost cause.
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 01-01-08, 06:06 PM	You missed a possibility, that the devil propaganda found in the fiendish codex is in fact not factually accurate in its account, primarily because its a story told by devils and devils are not known for speaking the truth when it doesn't suit them You missed the possiblity that you should read the thread, as I have already been through this discussion. And a Devil wouldn't lie, as it halters law, however, they would strech and misleads with the truth, but never lie. And, BTW, who says the story is not written by a celestial?

Blessed are those that tan regularly, for skin cancer shall be their mortal reward. And lead us not into nightfall, but deliver us from comfort. For thine is the neutrality, and the evil, for ever and ever. Amen.

Please think about what you say from now on, thank you. Regardless of who has skin cancer, it has been pretty much proven that the sun be it in real life or fantasy, is one of the leading causes of skin cancer. So you have no cause for offense here, I certainly wasn't 'joking' about the sun. My condolences to your mother, no matter how she contracted the disease. None of your real life situation changes anything about Pelor, a fictional deity who allows his paladins' families to be slaughtered and refuses to allow them to seek vengeance. A fictional deity who burns all and only hates undead more than the living because they cannot suffer.

Ody_Saraph_of_Karsus 01-07-08, 11:59 PM	You're thinking of Hextor. Heironeous and his followers would pronounce that as heresy. I'm more partial to the Greyhawkian deities than the Faerunian gods. Cthulhu, why settle for the lesser of two evils. In Dieties and Demigods(pg 74) Says: Temples to Heironeous always have a slightly militaristic look to them.In unsettled areas they dobble as forttresses. And I'm pretty sure tha in DRAGON MAGAZINE #354 has something about that to, but is late and I don't feel like looking for it:D
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 01-19-08, 01:36 PM	Bump for Pelor!
Mr_Seth 01-19-08, 02:46 PM	Hansheath! Dwarven lord of beer and funeral rites! Truly, there is no greater god to serve.

Given a liberal interpretation, the 'kicks (major evil) arse' can be construed to mean that the church is in favor of advancing malevolence. I know what it says in D&D.
18DELTA 01-20-08, 12:54 PM	-BANE. LORD DELTA:emp:
Sol_Odlanier 01-20-08, 03:49 PM	Bane? C'mon, TORM! is the one!
18DELTA 01-21-08, 11:04 AM	Bane? C'mon, TORM! is the one! -Yes BANE!:P LORD DELTA:emp:
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 01-24-08, 01:50 PM	You're both wrong. Pelor!
Kiioro 01-26-08, 12:51 AM	I still fail to see the good part about the deities mentioned. Pelor... heals and shines. Bane conquers and laughs... I'm still with Sharess.
sin shai, nagai jedi 01-26-08, 01:35 AM	i say pelor is the best, everybody else sucks! wow...this bandwagon sure is nice, alittle crowded though... but seriously my vote goes to Mask the lord of shadows, because he's just frick'in cool.
Squigz 01-27-08, 11:48 AM	Ghaunadaur because he's so damn squishy:eek:
Ikyotojin 01-27-08, 01:03 PM	Beer. Debate closed. Thanks for attending. Pick up your mugs on your way out. ;)
DarkZephyr 01-27-08, 03:45 PM	Mystra/Midnight was my favorite, but, well, ya know, with 4E and all, that love affair is over. My second favorite is probably toast as well. It will be awhile before I can think about which of the remaining 18 I like.
Rohano 02-02-08, 03:41 PM	Beer. Debate closed. Thanks for attending. Pick up your mugs on your way out. ;) I present to you all unenlightened swine... Ronson, god of alcoholism (http://www.rmcomics.com/Cast.htm)! The campaign setting of ArrKelan puts him as its Overdeity. The website for the campaign setting has D&D details, though the rules are 2E (http://home.paonline.com/zaikoski/ak/INDEX.HTM). In the webcomic (The Gods of ArrKelaan) (http://www.drunkduck.com/The_Gods_of_ArrKelaan/), Ronson's creator details Ronson a great deal, and draws out the ingenious story of the entire pantheon and how it came to be. The current story arc puts Ronson in a very uncharacteristic position (of not being apathic or drunk) but you'll find that everything up to this point has him very suited to his role (being the drunk solitary overdeity who hates getting involved, but gets dragged into divine squabbles constantly). Just for leaving him alone, you get a free beer and cleric spells. And if you please him, he'll grant you a tavern (or a shipment of good beer will poof into existence in your back yard). God of 833r!
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 02-06-08, 03:52 PM	Pelor
swrittenb 02-07-08, 12:52 AM	aye, bump for Pelor, though it's hard to disrespect Nerull.
toranaga181 02-07-08, 05:05 PM	Nerull is an awesome god.
Squaba 02-07-08, 05:57 PM	Kossuth
Sulacu 02-08-08, 07:52 PM	When looking at the deities like 'who would be a kickass father', then I'd pick Boccob. Because he doesn't care :P. Hell, I'd pick Boccob anyway. He rocks.
Drackthor 02-08-08, 09:23 PM	Gruumsh is awesome because he doesn't take anybody's crap, and starts sundering the world when he feels cheated, which is also awesome, but I think I'm gonna go with Heironeous for the reason in my sig.
