Fillow 04-30-07, 09:28 AM	If I were you, I would "copy" a Faerunian god description from the Faith & Pantheons book and then, I would changes following data according to what I want my new own god to be. In the beginning of this book, all caracteristics which will describe each deity are detailed. Use it. (Is that understandable :confused: Sorry for English language wounding ! :D) It also exists Powers & Pantheons, TSR 9563, where you could find examples of other deitys as those we always heard about. without forgetting Faith & Avatars, TSR 9516. "God" luck !

Old Sage 04-30-07, 11:35 AM	If we're talking about the period of history before the Time of Troubles... then most gods are, largely, free to do as they please in terms of raising powerful mortals who serve them to divine status. After the Time of Troubles however, Ao took a direct hand in the affairs of the gods and declared that he must now give his consent before all such future attempts at creating new powers in the Realms. This also included resurrecting fallen powers and whether or not to allow interloper deities into Realmspace. Ultimately, this put a check on the overall power and reach of all the deities and thus made their actions all accountable to the Overpower. I would recommend you spend some time reading through the earlier sections of Faiths & Avatars before you even attempt something like this. It provides an in-depth account of the processes involved in the creation of new powers in the Realms.
Karsus the Mad 05-01-07, 11:56 AM	I think the chap meant in general;) Technically, such a question should have been posted on the general DnD boards, rather than a setting specific board.
Lord Karsus 05-01-07, 07:41 PM	-Do what Fillow recommended, and what I do. Pick up a copy of Faiths and Avatars, Demihuman Deities or Powers and Pantheons, and simply follow the headings that are used, adding or subtracting as you want.
Borris 05-03-07, 10:29 PM	The rules for creating deities, which can be found in Deities and Demigods and Faiths and Patheons, are also available as part of the SRD. I suggest you check this site: http://www.d20srd.org/index.htm and read the Divine Rules section.
The WarOverlord 05-04-07, 03:02 AM	Is there a book that shows you or tells you how to make a God/Goddess if there is can any tell me what it is? Or tell me how to make one.?.?.?.? D&D "The Players Guide to Immortals" (1017xxx1901) and D&D "DM guide to Immortals"(1017xxx1902) is out of print but I found mine at a used book store. It covers accentions, Levels of the Immortals and their power combat (If you thought 2nd eddition Psionics was a headache), Home planes, command stucture,etc. AD&D "Legends and Lore" (2013,046363020132) is also a treasure to be found at a used book store , and talks about assention requirements,divine spark, How Clerics get spells from gods, and what happens to souls and spirits in the afterlife and how gods expect to be treated when confronted (Tell one to kiss your ass is bad..I would guess) I am not sure what I can tell you here without violating either of those resources copywrites, but Basically just having a PC naming who they worship and a breif explanation of why is enough (example:A lot of my PC revere "The Helm of WHite Dragonstar" as there patron because it contains a manisfistation of a really much Older PC that assended to godhood 3 times, overgodhood 2 times , and even though the manisfistation claims not to be a god and doesn't want to be worshiped it still is and the spells of the clerics up to 7th Level are being granted somehow signifying at least a "greater god" source..the Helm says it isn't doing it, but most thinks it is being modest because they don't understand "residual essense")
