I got to thinking about this today during a discussion about the Bhaalspawn incident of Baldur's Gate. I know Bhaal impregnated all those females with his seed in order to have a backup plan for his death but it raises another question. How do gods naturally reproduce? I mean like say two gods get married (using Torm/Red Knight for example here) could they have children? Would this come from natural sexual relations or would there be a sort of blending of their essences. Would the child automatically be considered a god themselves? If so what rank would they be and what portfolios would they have?

I think he has already had the birds and bees discussion but is just having trouble applying it in worldly context.

Well, I would assume the same way humans do.

Actually, if you read the Greek or Norse myths, there are some pretty UNCONVENTIONAL ways to create new gods out there.

I think all the methods boil down to two different categories -

a) Gods create Gods

b) Mortal worship brings a god into existance

-There is also a third, which is related to the first, but not exactly.

C) Ao is petitioned, and instates a deity to be the soverign of a specific noun.

Well yeah, but I mean generally speaking, divine reproduction works in essentially the same way human reproduction does.

Besides Ao, none of the deities are asexual.;)

Besides Ao, none of the deities are asexual.;)Technically, a deity can be whatever sex it wishes to be, since it's appearance is decided whenever it chooses to take physical form.

However, aside from Correllon and certain non-bipedal gods, most deities prefer to appear as either one sex or another.

They can reproduce. They can reproduce in a variety of forms (ie, Zeus), in a variety of ways (ie, Apollo), and their progeny are many and varied (ie, abominations, Heca-thing).

Procreation involving deities need not involve anything sexual in nature.

Technically, a deity can be whatever sex it wishes to be, since it's appearance is decided whener it chooses to take physical form.

-If you want to be even more technical, deities don't have genders. They're just balls of sentient divine energy, after all.

Ok let me paint you a scenario.

Let's say that Torm after becoming a Greater Deity and becoming leader of the House of the Triad, proposes to the Red Knight. She says that she would accept if and only if her "father figure" Tempus agrees to the marriage. So Torm proves himself to Tempus, who approves because Torm has become a Greater God and not some subservant loser to Tyr. So the two are wed and he takes her back to his plane and Tempus and Torm form an Alliance yada yada. The two consumate their marriage and a child is born! Here is the real question.

Is this child a God? If so would it be a Demigod? What would its portfolios be? Can you be a god without a portfolio even?! Inquiring minds want to know...
MarkusTay63

01-02-08, 05:49 PM
Hmmmm... mechanics-wise I would deem this new power a lesser god (will there be demi-gods in 4e?), and say that it would have a certain amount of time to obtain a portfolio for itself or become mortal. I suppose a willing parent could give up one of their's, or even break off a piece of one of their portfolios (you can break 'battles' off of 'War', or 'fighting' off of 'battles', etc...), and have the new godling be a minion of his/her greater parent (in the new 4e scheme of things).

Its pretty easy to just take a small piece of your parents portfolio and care for it - it was pretty much standard practice amongst the lesser known Greek deities.

Also, I would houserule that BOTH deities subtract 1 from their DR for 1d6 months (the new edition was formed from them, so it is only fitting a small piece of their own divinity goes into it's making).

Heya,


Is this child a God? If so would it be a Demigod? What would its portfolios be? Can you be a god without a portfolio even?! Inquiring minds want to know...

Here it is in a very rough nutshell...

Mortal + God = DvR 0 Demigod

God + God = DvR 1+ (demigod or god, depending on the power of their parent)

The offspring (I won't say child, because there are examples of gods springing forth from their parents fully grown - Athena, for example) would probably be lesser in power than their parents (I'd say lesser in power than least powerful parent), and may even have a blend of portfolios or subset of portfolios of their parents.

In the case of Torm and Red Knight, I'd say the offspring might be the demigod (since Red Knight is a demigod her offspring will be a less powerful demigod) of honor, bravery, and skill in battle... Hmm now I think about it, that's a pretty groovy deity...

In the Realms - all of the Seven Sisters should be DvR 0, since they're the daughters of Mystra and a mortal.

By the way, gods don't have gender - at least not the way we understand it. These beings are so powerful and so mutable that they go beyond gender. In my Realms there is a daughter of Alustriel and Tymora running around somewhere on the Sword Coast - Tymora was the "father". ;) Anyway, to bring it back to your example - Torm is just as likely as Red Knight to be the mother of the offspring - as mind boggling as I'm sure some might find it.

I think deities could have children the way humans do. It's true that I'm against gods being too anthropomorphic, but if they can take the form of humans, why couldn't their bodies be functional for reasons other than making it easier for human worshipers to understand them?

I was going to say the 'usual way', but I think we've crossed that point.

Any who, I suppose the child/offspring (whichever you prefer) could become an immortal child who must 'learn the ways of the Force' so to speak. A couple of Minor Greek Deities began this way.

Thanks Storm, that was a very good explanation of what I asked. So I have another question on that topic: Does that mean that all of the Bhaalspawn were in effect Demigods? I mean they were all the Children of Bhaal right? Would a child of a god and a mortal not age for example?

I ask this because I have a really cool idea brewing for an npc who is a Bhaalspawn but didn't get wrapped up in the whole Bhaalspawn plot of Baldur's Gate and fled to another part of Toril (perhaps Kara-Tur) to escape death from the others. I kinda planned on him to be a ex-assassin who converted to a monk to some other deity. Sort of the Redeemed Villan so to speak.

Heh.

I should probably clarify what I said before--instead of *can* deities have children the human way, is that what they would *prefer* to do? After all, if you're a god who can do pretty much anything, why would you need any human body parts to begin with?

Well, they weren't demigods in the mechanical, D&D sense of term, either by 2E rules (which were the rules the BG series used) or even 3E rules. The PC did mature in a normal fashion (as far as I could tell) and I have to admit that I always assumed the Bhaalspawn were subject to aging as well--after all, growing into adulthood is "aging", right? But as to whether or not one ages in the sense of growing old, I guess that's up to personal interpretation.:)

Going strictly by the rules, any child of a mortal and a god would be DvR 0, which puts them on the level of quasi-deity or hero deity. (I forgot the correct term for DvR 0 before, my apologies.)

According to Deities and Demigods...

"These entities cannot grant spells, but are immortal and usually have one or more ability scores that are far above the norm for their species. They may have some worshipers."

But that isn't the way they played it in the BG series.

I ask this because I have a really cool idea brewing for an npc who is a Bhaalspawn but didn't get wrapped up in the whole Bhaalspawn plot of Baldur's Gate and fled to another part of Toril (perhaps Kara-Tur) to escape death from the others.

Pretty interesting concept, except that according to canon there are no Bhaalspawn left aside from Abduh... err Abdel Adrien (or however his name is spelled). Of course, you can twist the lore to suit yourself... I think my <CHARNAME> from the BG series is still running around with Imoen in my Realms somewhere... Can't remember if I ever incorporated her properly. :P

In 4e, it would likely be a demigod (or champion, or whatever it is called now), making it basically not a god at all, but just a kind of saintly figure. It will likely be associated with 'war for righteous causes', or 'making up excuses for making war on infidels', or something, once it grows up.

Anyway, in the Realms, Ao determines who or what becomes a deity, so it is all up to the roll of the dice (or the want of the DM).
If there is any system, I would say that, due to the effort involved (and I mean the effort of two deities cooperating to raise a child) a child born from two deities would likely stand a bigger chance of divine power than a child from a deity and a mortal. The Sisters are likely more powerful than the Bhaalspawn because the mother was a goddess, and I personally believe that has a bit more slack than the brief moments Bhaal invested in his kids.
So while I don't believe the Sisters are currently demigods, they would have a bigger chance to become one.

You don't think it would be too far fetched for another Bhaalspawn to have survived perhaps? I usually stick as close as canon as possible whenever I create stories or characters for any setting I'm tinkering with. I like this idea so much and hated the way the Baldur's Gate's novels were handled.

Heya,

For some reason it's not letting me quote you directly, Kenzuki... (Oh, I see why it's not letting me quote you... for some reason it isn't displaying your post in the post history - either you're editing it, or the boards haven't caught up on your post yet...)

Anyway, I don't think it's too far fetched. After all, if you can get all the way through to the end of ToB and have Imoen and <CHARNAME> still around, there's no reason why others might not have survived too. (It has been a long time since I've played to the end, though, so I'm kind of hazy on exactly what happens...)

As for the novels, well they changed nothing. There was no impact on the Realms at large by the end because Abduh was the only survivor and had given up his divinity, while every other Bhaalspawn was dead. Let me just say I was bitterly disappointed by the novels... The only good thing to come out of them was Lesbian!Imoen (one of the very few examples of (an) openly homosexual character(s) in a Realms novel (Phaere seemed to be pretty much a lesbian as well, so that makes two), probably the only example of a homosexual character actually being with someone of their own gender in a romantic fashion (Imoen and Phaere's bathtub scene), and also probably the only coming out story (there were elements of Imoen coming to terms with her sexuality in the novel)), but look how that ended for her. :mad: I'm still sore.
Kenzuki

01-05-08, 07:26 AM
I think if I tinker with that story a little bit to suit my needs no one will mind considering the novels kinda sucked....

Anyways, I was considering making his new Goddess Selune, cause she's the Goddess of Wanderers and he's a Wanderer now hehe. I kinda imagined him escaping the whole ordeal and killing three other Bhaalspawn in the process absorbing their powers as he fled Faerun and went to Kara-Tur. Still working on the details of why he's now a monk and serving Selune though.

Shaundakul

-Shaundakul is traditionally associated with trailblazers, explorerers, and those who "rider the wind and let it take [them] wherever it blows". That sounds like a wanderer to me.

Actually, Selune does have the Wanderers portfolio. It'd be plenty natural for a wanderer to pay tribute to either, but Selune is the god of their ilk within the Faerunian pantheon.

I suppose the argument could be made that the Seven spent a longer time in closer proximity to a divinity, and perhaps some (more) of that might have worn off on them... While having Bhaal for a father, well, lets just say his divine contribution is momentary.

Not saying I agree with that argument, though.

Also for some reason I see him serving a Goddess as opposed to a male deity to be more to my liking. I just see the female aspect as having a more redemptive side to it. He goes from serving Bhaal to serving Selune or so. I kinda planned for him to be old enough that he served Bhaal while he was still a god but broke away from him during the Bhaalspawn crisis.

I got to thinking about this today during a discussion about the Bhaalspawn incident of Baldur's Gate. I know Bhaal impregnated all those females with his seed in order to have a backup plan for his death but it raises another question. How do gods naturally reproduce? I mean like say two gods get married (using Torm/Red Knight for example here) could they have children? Would this come from natural sexual relations or would there be a sort of blending of their essences. Would the child automatically be considered a god themselves? If so what rank would they be and what portfolios would they have?


Well there is more then 1 kind of Being labeled "god" or more correctly Immortal Gaurdians, with them coming into being several different ways.

For instance the Egyptian Gods are Beings from an alternate Prime with Technology and Magic that is pretty impressive but they are "parasites" that posses Human form but give birth to mere humans..which they themselves technically are without there Magic and Technology.

And no I am not talking about "Stargate" though they did a twist on the Legend. The "Egyptian gods" aren't some kind of symbiont creature but a "essence" from a alternate Universe that replaces the original Spirit or Soul of the being it possesses with a prefernce for Humans but they can posses Dragons, and elves, and such and if the possesed body is slain they can just jump to a new host within range or just lay low and posses a body of coice later....though I notice the ones Ao invited to the Forgotten realms can't seem to do that.

Gods like the Norse Gods are actually Heros that found some way to be long lived and have pretty powerful Weapons and Magic to back them up but can technically be killed so are not Immortal

The Greek Gods are human like Beings descended from the Titans which were also Human like beings that weer descended from Kronos and Gia which were spontaneously created from the creature known as "the One" after it was stranded on Earth after having to escape from it's Plane that suddenly went to shambles and it escaped through a vortex into Earth Realm via a portal that opened on the top of Mount Olympus. It saw Humans and the Greek Culture and eventually got home sick and went it when back to it's Shattered but now stable home plane it spontaneously made what is known as "Olympus" and spontaneously split into Gia and Kronos and it was able to reproduce via the way humans were able to to make the Titans, and the Titans had the "Greek gods" that learned to tap into human worship to harnest power

On the Other Hand there are gods made by other governing Beings or granted the ability to govern in the Realm.

In the Case of the Forgotten Realms the one that decides the porfolios and who can and cannot be a "god" directly or indirectly is Ao and even the "Imported gods" like Tyr, and the Egyptian Gods have a understanding or was invited by Ao, while some like Mystr and Cyric were promoted directly while others are granted flunkie status by the "in power" godlings

Not so much in the Forgotten Realms, but sometimes through worship and through a divine sponser a mortal can reach Divine status then advance from a divine minion to demi-god, Lesser god, intermediate god, or greater god (assuming the "powers that be" approves such advancement)


On Ao's Side, the self appointed gaurdians of the Multiverse didn't make the Multiverse but "took over" as they became concious with the same questions most mortals ask "How did this happen? Where did I come From?" and started exploring, cataloging and supervising "Projects" which includes monitoring worlds for mortals that might make good Immortals cause Immortals like Ao or Ao's supervisors can't reproduce. The Innitiate immortal is given a Realm to run and can either intervine directly or create flunkies to do all the dirty work or can make the place a "free for all". (Open Project,Closed Project,supervised Project).

From my Understanding the Forgotten realms was a "Closed Project" with a "god Barrier" keeping certain unfavorable immortals out of the Forgotten Realms and even messing around in the Prime Material Plane of Toril is a pain in the Ass between the Weave and the fact that trying to to touch down on the surface of Toril turns any FR approved God into a Powerful Mortal that can be killed with major "power restrictions" (Ao's Rules, which is why punnishment during the "Times of Trouble" was to kick all the gods asses down to Toril)
