I'm actually suprised that they weren't posted on the Realms Personalities (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rp/20031203a) section on the main page. If anyone has any ideas whatsoever, I would much appriciate it.

As someone who's peaked a god's interest, he can do whatever the situation needs, but rarely does the same thing twice, or rely on one trick. That doesn't work for stats. If I ever needed to DM him, I'd forget his druid levels and just have him cast whatever he needed at the moment, often going for the humorous as a way of mitigating that power.

I'm certainly not knocking it -- it's a natural effect. What makes a good read won't necessary make an easy to translate into number character. That's a lot of the reason I don't worry about stats of characters from the novels. Though I will grant that sometimes you need to know them... I just try to avoid needing them.
