05-15-07, 08:19 PM just wondering if there is a deity that has the domain of dream cause i have a cleric who would like that as one of his domains but cannot find a god in the forgotten realms that has that domain, i was thinking that he could take shar or selune, any thoughts?

05-15-07, 09:46 PM Shar used to have both the portfolio of nightmares and sleep so I could see her having that domain, yes.

05-15-07, 10:51 PM I'm not up to date on the mechanics of the Dream domain, but if it's more benign, than Selune. If it's more malevolent, Shar. And if it's a toss up, I'd say to give access to it for both deities.

05-16-07, 07:16 AM I would also accept Sehanine Moonbow and Lliira, since both deities communicate with their devouts through dreams.
GothicDan
05-16-07, 10:39 AM I'd say definitely for Sehanine... Not so sure about Lliira. I'd imagine a lot of deities would communicate to their worshippers via dreams.

05-16-07, 10:45 AM Communicating via dreams is a bit different than having influence over dreams in general... Sehanine seems a good match up, though I'd say Shar or Selune were both kinda iffy really, depending on how you interpret what their portfolios mean. Lliira I would definitely say no to. Can't think of anyone besides Sehanine I would really give it to though to be honest... possibly Savras if you want to go the whole mystical route with him, but its stretching things quite a bit.

I kind of agree, I'd say all deities contact their worshippers through dreams once in a while, but I think Sehanine does it a lot more than others.

05-16-07, 11:40 AM *this information is relevent to the current FR campaign I am in. It's a proccess I have been working on for a very long time now.*

I have a character who is currently working on a plan to assume godhood and the potfolio of dreams. He currently follows no deity. The plan I have put together took me well over a year of research and work to formulate. It's one I would love to see in print some day if possible.

Character Name: (not his full name) Ru Mori'ereg
Class: (currently) Dread Necromancer 20 / Wizard 15
Race: Fey'ri
Template: Lich

05-16-07, 12:31 PM Can outsiders be liches?
Borris
05-18-07, 03:35 AM By the rules, the lich template can only be added to an humanoid creature.
Khaelieth
05-18-07, 09:02 AM So fey'ris cannot be liches.
GothicDan
05-18-07, 11:41 AM Though in FR canon there's a Tiefling Lich (a member of the Twisted Rune, Shangralar the Black, I think?)
Khaelieth
05-18-07, 11:45 AM Aye, I remember reading that. And I also remember reading something about a genasi trying to be a lich, but as she's an outsider it's bad boos to you, Fritzy!

I believe it's in the Underdark book somewhere.

05-18-07, 03:46 PM Dreams are often portents of the future. Diviners are often associated with foretelling things in their dreams. Under that premise, I could see possibly Savras having access to the dream domain. Also, and this would be up to a DM, might Dendar the night serpent have some chance of gaining followers akin to demon lords?

05-18-07, 04:01 PM The tiefling I mentioned is one of the Runemasters of the Twisted Rune. I believe he's given a one-line race/class/level listing in Lords of Darkness.
