08-15-03, 05:22 PM It's never really been said one way or the other..... And now that 3e realms is split from the multiverse, it really doesn't matter at all. The Corellon from Greyhawk is not the same Corellon in FR, etc.

So with that in mind Tiamat is not Takhisis, etc.

Also see the answer and link below.

2.6.Is Tiamat in the Realms the same as Takhisis in Dragonlance?
According to published materials for both settings (as well as Planescape), the best answer is "yes and no". Most DMs seem to think that they are separate but strangely similar deities; however, quite a few people play them as the same power in different aspects.

(The above answer also applies to Bahamut and Paladine.)

08-15-03, 05:26 PM They are the same (if you consider the orginal publications), but Paladin and Takhisis are only their krynnish aspects.
To die there might hurt and reduce your power, but that does not kill a whole god.

No problem. :). I believe also there is supposed to be a spin of trilogy about the "main" character of those three books.
