i'm curious about some inter-deity relationships that i've discovered on another site; while i realise that it may or may not be cannon, it's kinda puzzled me a bit.
said site claimed that Sharess - a rather obscure deity who figures prominently in my campaign - is specifically opposed to the following deities:
Elven Pantheon (choose one), Eilistraee, Ghaunadaur, Gruumsh
i could potentially see her hatred of gruumsh or slimer, because they (perhaps with a stretch) represent destruction and pain, things she's mostly against. however, my only connection between her and eilistraee is through the now subsumed zandilar (i reasoned that eilistraee felt that if sharess hadn't gotten involved in the situation maybe zandilar wouldn't have been absorbed by her, and she's upset that sharess screwed over a non-evil elven deity of outcasts?
another stretch). however, i have absolutely no idea why she'd hate someone at random in the elven pantheon - is there some anti-elven connection with sharess that i'm not seeing?
also, i felt the list would've included Shar, and Set, as when she was Bastet, both tried to destroy her - by absorbing her, and through being her pantheon's hated foe.
Cyric has an open invation to all the Gods to come see him...it doesn't have to be on his birthday even!
Whoever wrote that is either greatly mistaken, mixed up with another god, or has made some major changes for their home campaign.
Sharess's foes are Set, Shar, Loviatar. Her allies are Anhur, Hanali Celanil, Lliira, Milil, Nobanion, Selune, Sune.
Cyric just needs a big hug.
And as noted, Sharess's enemies are Shar and Loviatar (don't know about Set, don't care much about him).
Well Sharess was Bast of the Egyptian pantheon so it would make sense for her to have an enemy in Set, also of the Egyptian pantheon.
But answer me this if you can: I remember reading somewhere that Sharess was an aspect of Shar. I brought this up in another thread but they threatened to burn me at the stake. Can some one tell me where i read that so i can slap it in their face? Ive looked through all the god books and the prayers of the faithful and even the old empires source books but cant find it now. Some one tell me that i do know what i'm talkin about and i havnt lost my mind?

Yeah, but the Supreme Throne is closed while the buzzkill trio's in charge. And it begs the question: What do you give a fellow god for his birthday? The destruction of a mutually despised deity?

You're nearly right. Powers & Pantheons gives Sharess's tale. For a long time, Sharess was increasingly falling under the sway of Shar, experimenting with darker pleasures, corruption, and decadence. In fact, before this time, she was known as Bast, the name Sharess was only acquired due to Shar's influence. Many came to think of her as just an aspect of Shar.
This continued until the Time Of Troubles, when Sharess appeared as a concubine in Calimport, but Sune happened along, rescued her and washed her out with sacred waters. Since then, Sharess has been an independent and better goddess.
(In my game, if the PCs had investigated the Sharessin temple further, I had a selection of statues of different aspects of Sharess through the ages. One, taken away for indefinite cleaning, would have been that of a fading, drug-addicted prostitute. I imagined them as learning to balance good pleasure and bad, in moderation, and working to help addicts of all kinds.)

Shar will not be going, so pass it along to your silly little god.
That wench Sune will get what is coming to her!
Yo, emo worshipper - don't diss Sune 'cause she's way prettier and smarter than your goddess!
Oh snap its on now!
Yo, emo worshipper - don't diss Sune 'cause she's way prettier and smarter than your goddess!
That's right, Pamela. Come closer to joining our elite circle. It is your destiny and stuff.

Yeah the new smilies suck. I guess we'll have to make our own as paste them as pics

ah, this makes a lot more sense now. i could've absolutely sworn with what you wrote. i mean, i found it really silly that i'd have to say:
"Ok, as a cleric of Sharess, you are the sworn enemies of...*rolls* uh....Deep Sashelas? Yeah, I guess that makes sense....cats do hate water and all...hmm".
;)
Feh, as if Sune would care what a Sharran would think anyway... they're beneath our notice, unless it serves our purpose to acknowledge them for contrasting to something actually pleasant... sadly, without the ugly and misshapen, true beauty could not be recognized for what it was.

You're a Sunite? (Where's my disbelief smilie?)
Are you f___ing kidding me?
Nope, not kidding you. I'm just one of the evil ones.
Nope, not kidding you. I'm just one of the evil ones.
Now I want to see an evil Sunite in a novel, preferably combating a good Loviataran.
Oh, and it's in the Supreme Throne (yes, tangentially on-topic!).
Think its Loviatan actually... and I know a few of those, though they are considered heretics, as in pain teaching all of life's important lessons through negative reinforcement... or in the case of something like childbirth, leading to great joy as a reward for enduring pain.

Ach, that's right. Woops.
... and I know a few of those, though they are considered heretics, as in pain teaching all of life's important lessons through negative reinforcement... or in the case of something like childbirth, leading to great joy as a reward for enduring pain.
Hence why I find the good Loviatan concept intriguing. Sadly, the closest I've seen to a good Loviatan is the main character of Maiden of Pain. Which is just one of the many, many things I despise about that particular novel. May Kossuth burn its pages.
I could see a cleric of Ilmater getting along with a cleric of Loviatar, They'd be perfect for one another
Yeah, except for the whole hating each other part... Ilmatari aren't masochists, they're simply those with the strength to endure. Its not like they get off on it or something.

You have to imagine there's at least a couple unorthodox ones who do. They must be pretty... interesting amongst their conservative counterparts.
Smells like a sticom to me. Like the Odd Couple.
The real reason Araushnee tried to kill Corellon is because he accidentally forgot her birthday because he was fighting Gruumsh.

Being married myself i can totally see that as plausible.
The real reason Araushnee tried to kill Corellon is because he accidentally forgot her birthday because he was fighting Gruumsh.
I think it's because he gave her an STD. Too much frolicking with the other Seldarine members... and those other, obscure fey entities.
Well, syphillis untreated can (okay, does) lead to insanity...
Gods don't get STDs. Especially not elves. Have you seen how damned meticulous they are with their grooming? And they start spamming Remove Disease on themselves if they even get so much as the *sniffles*.
Besides, if Araushnee did go nuts from an STD, you can bet she picked it up from sleeping with Gruumsh.
Ah, the poor disillusioned fools who listen to Corellon and his well worn lies... sad, delusional, and pitiful creatures that you are. You have my sympathy.
Well, not really, because I don't actually have sympathy, as that would require empathy for the troglodytes who call themselves elves, but I'm sure you get the point. 
Do gods have calendars to mark their birthdays? And would they really, REALLY want to remember just how old they are? Besides that, what date is your birthday if you've returned, like Bane and Amaunator?

All good points!!!
Bane was actually mortal once so he was actually born once upon a time, but i beleive Amaunator was created by Ao so not sure if you could count that as a "birthday". I'm sure the dates of their return hold a siginfigance to their followers.
I'd imagine the 'real' gods would tease the ascended ones for their low origins. I mean, Cyric is a case in point.
Just think about it. Cyric wasn't even a god for a century before they stuck him in jail - human beings in Faerun have got to improve their acts when they ascend!

I imagine that if gods can be wounded (like Corellon getting pinned with Eilistraee's arrow), they can get STDs from one another (and other higher beings, like Archfey). Why do you think no one wants to get with Talona?
Why do you think no one wants to get with Talona?
Er, have you seen what she looks like? That'd be reason enough.
Why do you think no one wants to get with Talona?

... And why do you think she looks like that? The ravages of STDs...
I should make a PSA, starring Talona and Corellon.
That she got from Corellon! Frisky little fey that he/she is.
That she got from Corellon! Frisky little fey that he/she is.
Poor Talona. It's all Corellon's fault. I bet he knew he had STDs, he just wouldn't tell her cuz he knew she would turn him down if he did. And I wonder who gave them to him in the first place....
It was Labelas!!!!!!
It was Labelas!!!!!!
Awww come on not Labelas! Besides if he did get a STD he could just go back in time and stop himself from getting it in the first place. but any way this brings up another point: STDs are mysteriously absent from the DMG. They got all kinds of other diseases in there but no STDs. We need to come up with some. What kinda STDs would you be likely to get from an elf any way?

Good ones man! Love it!! I'm gonna have to use some of these. There's a halfling in the party that'll tag anything. I cant wait to tell him oh man you just contracted Feywarden's Withered Wood. He will be so devastated! bwahahaha

You people are all hopeless.
The only gods you get STDs from are Shar and Cyric. And you don't wanna know what they do.
Slightly off topic, but on the subject of STD's...
...the first D&D Game I ever played in was DMed by a guy who didn't like me. (Long story short, I was friends with his boyfriend who was also playing in the game, and the DM and I had erm... heated words... exchanged after a negative event transpired between the two of them.)
So, anyway. I decide to play a D&D game with him, his boyfriend and a few other acquaintances. I roll up an Elven Fighter (Soldier). It wasn't set in any particular campaign setting, the DM was just making things up as he went.
However, since the DM did not like me very much, he continuously tried to think up ways to screw over my character. We played maybe six games total together, but in the second to the last game, one of the other PC's in the group was captured. We knew where he was being held, but it was guarded and we didn't know how to get inside. So my character came up with the idea: The town was obviously very seedy. There were prostitutes everywhere. He could use one of them to seduce one of the guards, and then during pillow talk have her probe the guard in a non-subtle way to learn the needed information.
So, to set this plan into motion, my character approached the Innkeeper and paid him. He requested that the Innkeeper locate the most talented prostitute in the city and send her to his room. This would not be an unusual request in this city, nor for an adventurer. The Innkeeper agreed.
My PC is waiting in his room when some hours later, the door is forced open. There is this big hulking female half-orc, described in gory detail, forcing her way inside. I forget the name the DM gave her, but it suited the character. She was meant to be as repulsive as possible.
The DM didn't even give my PC time to react, or even speak before she was already across the room. The DM then went on to describe – with a smile on his face – the horrific details of my little Elven Warrior being beaten and raped by a enormous Half-Orc woman.
Now, I'm a sick puppy with a twisted sense of humor. So I find all of this funny, and I am playing along. It's clear that the DM is venting his frustrations at me onto my character now, as he clearly enjoyed beating the crap out of him.
Finally, to tie it all together with this thread, in the end the DM had me roll a check to see if my PC got an STD. :P I passed much to his chagrin, but part of me wish I had failed just to see what horrible disease he could think up.
In the last session, as the game was coming to a close, in part to spite him and in part because I found it hilarious, my PC went back to said town. He went to look for the Half-Orc, because it was the best sex he had ever had. He showed up with a cure for disease and enough gold to ensure that he was pleasured for a lifetime. :P
I suppose some people might be turned away from D&D and gaming after an event like this, but being the twisted person I am, I had a blast and was drawn to it. Even after the group broke up, I sought to play with others.
That was my introduction to D&D.

Typical of an elf... so used to deception that they forget to include deities dedicated to disease in their attempts to slander others. The game is up, admit to your perfidy, and we'll end your miserable existances quickly.
Oh, yeah, and as a side note, you're one twisted little puppy Meldread... amusing, but twisted.

I agree, Meldread's post saved this thread.
So any more STD stories?
Ye gods but this has really gotten off topic aint it?
Meldrea, that was an amussing post. Disturbingly amuusing, dont know if I should be grossed out or laughing my arse off
I'm not inviting any of you to my birthday party.
And yes, I am a god. Nai Calus, Elven god of Dice. And still free of STDs.
Oh, alright, you can come. Just don't use any more smileys like that, gah.
Also I'll be out of town until next week and may or may not have reliable internet access until then, so if I disappear, you know why. :P

I have yet to have that happen. I've never been the first one to pass out and wake up with nail polish and/or lipstick on.
Never!
And if you've heard different, theyre lying.
LYING I TELL YOU!!!!!!

If that's the worst the elves do to you, consider yourself lucky.

or wait... nevermind question withdrawn

Poor deluded soul that he is. The Elves are baiting him into complacency. Then when his guard is down...
My guard is NEVER down!
.....oooohhh Evermead!
I've woken up in nail polish and lipstick... the mascara and eyeliner was the part that left me confused, since I know I had taken it off, with the used wipey-pad things to prove it. Ah, mispent youth, how I don't really miss it.

I just might! er i mean i do believe it! er wait i mean...
ugh nevermind

Fey Sores, Corellon's Clap, Araushnee's Blush (for the ladies only), Feywarden's Withered Wood, Black Archer's Black Arches, etc...
Sounds like you've already put a bit of work into creating your own STDs.....
Oh no! Why does this always come back to STDs?
Oh no! Why does this always come back to STDs?
I guess either that or waking up with lipstick on type of discussions....
Or the truthery of coming into the conversation late....

Because some STDs always come back to haunt you.

what!? theres halfling dancers!? I must of missed that,
I was referring to halfling tossing.
I hear its real popular down in Cormyr!

What!? Youre leaving Hafling "tossing" alone?
Curellon has really warped you!!!
nah... he was too blinded by the nude halfling girls.... getting it on....
okay back on topic please, before the ORCS come in here on parade.
I aint going to no deity birthday and that is final

...Well, there goes your support for Helm's surprise party. *ticks name off list* The Watcher will be most displeased when he notices your absence. Care to reconsider?
Helm's I'd go to.
but Cyric, nuhuh nope not doing, not going, wouldnt think of it, nor Bane's nor him, her, Sune's I'd think about since she usually shows up nude.....
what about Hoars birthday party? he ussually shows up nude too!
It be more poetic to ask the ladies that.... or not.
I'm surprised though a ORC hasnt comeby this and read it yet.
moving on.
i dont think anything thats been said is too bad. especialy compared to that Lady of Pain interview.
That was pretty crude. 10-foot pole? bags of holding?
funny as hell though i loves it!
might somewhat be slightly off topic.
Eilistraee!
Yeah Baby!*
* See my post in "So what were Vhaeraun and Eilistraee the elven gods *of*, anyway?"
Sune!!!!!
Sune!!!!!
Here's a joke/riddle, the answer to which is pretty obvious: What does Sune always get for her birthday?
I can think of two answers to that, neither of them appropriate for the forum. :D
Is it STDs?
no its a spanking

so could I
Ahhhh! this is a good cup of Corellon right here!
I have this mental image of you sitting there with a nice warm mug of blood.
Stop that, you're drinking the souls of future elves. ;~;

Elves have souls?
!
Come on its a joke, because Corellon has been replaced with foldger's crystals, so if im not drinking foldgers crystals... of i probably should of posted in the right thread. I would never actually drink Corellon, or his souls. Yes elves do have souls! Otherwise they would be like juju zombies, which theyre not, you can actually hold a conversation with an elf, not so much with juju zombies.
Although after thinkin about it, i bet drinkin Corellon's blood would give you a hell of a buzz!
You all know what today is? Oct. 4th. Right Angle Day!
I just want to wish everybody a very happy Right Angle Day! Γ
Well, if you want to test that buzz theory, you're welcome to try to get some, good luck, I'll send flowers.

Thanx man thats sweet of you!! But i dont think ill be trying that anytime soon. That sounds like an epic quest. Im not nearly high enough level for that.
Actually on second thought, drinking Corellon's blood sounds a little ghoulish, I think it would be better to cut off a piece of Rillifane and smoke it!
you two are getting bizzare
Getting?
you two are getting bizzare
What!? You sayin that if i passed some grade a Rillifane your way you wouldnt hit it?
nope.
bizzarro

I hope you're not implying that you're a deity now...? ;)
me think he's been drinking to much firewine
I am the god of random useless posts!
and ive only had a little firewine.
Actually, this sparked an idea for some Halloween goofing around... :P

You aren't the first one to make such a statement. And while you might be a Lesser Power, you still have to contend with the Greater Power that is 18Delta. And he's got some impressive Domains, an alliance with Corellon, and a secondary aspect with ties to Cyric.
I think it's obvious what you need to do: Have Lisa Smedman write a mediocre trilogy about you slaying 18Delta and his legions with the most ridiculous methods.

arghh! youre kidding me!? Theres already a god of random useless posts? damn!
As much as i would like a novel written about me, or even a trilogy, i like Delta and would never slay him, even by using the most ridicilous methods.
I just have to find me an unclaimed portfolio. what about spreadable cheese? surley theres no god of spreadable cheese?

No, but you'll have to take up the Cheez Wiz portfolio in addition. The two go hand-in-hand.
(Why am I encouraging off-topic banter? Oh, right...)
well yeah Cheez Whiz is spreadable. so let the cosmos know I am now the god of spreadable cheeze and cheeze whiz!
And its mostly on topic, how else am i going to refuse people to my bithtay party if im not a god myself?
LM is the god of LAst of the Remaining Hands of Karsus
and has the domains of:
Legacy of LK
protection
Military might
combat magic
Exarch of BAne , Helm, and Lord Karsus
And I am the demi-god of confusion

You know it to be true.
Exarch of BAne and Helm
I'm sure LK'll be over the moon if he learns you don't consider him divine.
And I am the demi-god of confusion
Come now, you can claim more than just Confusion. How about Inquiry? You've been doing quite well interviewing Ed over at Loremaster. Common Sense would be applicable too.
Gee, now I want to start a FR Boards Residents Pantheon thread with the In Eldath's Name group forums.
YEs well nobody else was asking anything so............
YEs well nobody else was asking anything so............
Actually, I've asked questions to everyone but Brian Cortijo, whom I will inevitably get around to interviewing. But, no matter.
Yeah, pick something obscure so that it hasn't been done before.
Like my position within the Seldarine as the Elven god of Dice.
Edit: I used my 300th post on this? Tsk.
*proselytizes about Corellon and tries to convert the unconverted*
or lets ask about my becomeing the demi-god of confusion and inquisitiveness ???
or Lord manshoon becoming a god....
Im still in disbelief that random and useless posts was already taken.
and i guess i better watch what i say about sfdragon, being the god of confusion and inquisitiveness he could put a major confusion mojo on me.
what was i talking about again?
Being Divine is not all that its cracked up to be. In 5 years some hotshot WotC designer kills you off in the name of progress. Or Cyric hits you with a stick. Plus you have to deal with whinny *** followers that EXPECT stuff from you. Not what its cracked up to be.
This. Divinity is overrated.
This. Divinity is overrated.
So you wouldn't mind, then, if Corellon stepped down and became a major mortal NPC instead? Because he might agree that being divine isn't as nice as one would imagine?
I'd mind, becuase it would just mean they'd kill him off in a few years or have some orc ......
That brings up two questions:
1) If Corellon stepped down, who would take his place among the Seldarine?
2) Who would take his place at the birthday parties?
Actually, one more question: how many seconds before Gruumsh squashed him?
Gruumsh would trap him in his female form and........
okay we best get back to the birthday parties......
or go read the answer from my last question to the most esteemed Ed Greenwood.
That brings up two questions:
1) If Corellon stepped down, who would take his place among the Seldarine?
Shevarash, the true heir to the throne of the Seldarine. *nods sagely*
2) Who would take his place at the birthday parties?
Erevan, cause he would love to get more presents.
Actually, one more question: how many seconds before Gruumsh squashed him?
10.6 (16.2 if you include Gruumsh's chuckle of disbelief at his good fortune)
Please, Corellon is so awesome he could kick Gruumsh's ass even as a mortal. Also, he's a L20 Wizard, he doesn't even need to be a god to re-write reality. :p
He wouldn't step down, though. He loves his children too much to ever abandon them, and he's used to the demands that being a Greater God places upon him.
Gruumsh would trap him in his female form and........
okay we best get back to the birthday parties......
or go read the answer from my last question to the most esteemed Ed Greenwood.
Isnt Corellons female form more of a Greyhawk thing?
Yes Party!!!!
and i read Ed's answer. Interesting. NDAs on Abeir, so hopefully we shall see some Realmslore articles on Abeir and whats up there. Id love to see an Abeir source book. Id buy that. Be nice to see more Kara-Tur as well, and whats up with Zakhara.
You really got a lot of questions over there on Loremaster. I need to come up with some more questions so i can catch up. I can think of lots and lots of questions, but i know that theyll all be blocked by NDAs
And you got over a 1000 posts id bump yourself up to the Greater God of Confusion and Inquisitiveness
sure could..... greater god....
as for it being a greyhawk thing.... think I read it in the FR faiths and pantheons too.... not sure that book is away right now.
Corellon is male, female, both and neither, and always has been. How he manages this, of course, is obvious: He's a frippin' Greater God.
More specifically, the first mention of Corellon's interesting gender ambiguity is in the first mention of Corellon ever, in the original Deities and Demigods.
By 2e they'd apparently gotten all whiny puritans about such things, and Corellon is mostly merely mentioned as androgynous in appearance, and they came up with that useless bitch Sehanine to be his wife, despite the fact that, you know, he didn't frickin' need one.
Right, right he is a god after all and could appear as freakin Marry Poppins if he wanted to. I remember reading about him/her being both genders, which was probably in the old deities and demigods, i was thinkin it was Greyhawk specific, Ive never heard of him having a female aspect in the Realms, which is not to say he didnt have one of course. I know Labelas had a female aspect in the Realms as The orginal Symbul an old Yuir goddess.

Just thought I'd point out that you got this topic past 200 posts. I wasn't sure we'd see this milestone reached, but we have. *gives out Victory cigars*
passes out the wine
Well ill be, 200 posts! I didnt even notice. Ill pack up some "pipeweed" and pass it around. Or wait no that got me smited last time so okay ill stick with the wine and seegars! Are they Maztican?

Oh, Labelas shares Corellon's gender issues, always has. He was first detailed in Dragon #60, and yeah, he does the whole male and female thing too.
Hanali is also specifically mentioned at some point as sometimes appearing as male, I want to say it's also in her initial write-up in Dragon #60, but I'm too lazy to get it out and look. Pretty much the entire Seldarine is that way, though.

LOL! now i get it!
So who all is going to Hoar's birthday party? I could see it being a good mix. Bane will be there, and I could see Torm showing up as well. I could see that getting ugly rather fast.
Well i dont know Hoar was always kinda a loner i dont know if any one would show up to his birthday party, unless he also has a female aspect. If he had a form of naked halfling girl dancers sfdragon would be there 
hahahaha, you been hanging out with the gnome girls again silversword??
i try hookin up with some Gnome chicks but they always disappear on me!
you keep sacrin them off .....
Yes i guess i keep failing my skill challange
and yet, you forgot to level up didnt you?
Its funny you should mention that, When playing D&D type computer games like Sacred I do always forget to level up. I'll be runnin around killing things, takin their stuff and by the time i realize that ive leveled up I got 2 or 3 levels.
Too easy to get caught up in the "kill things and take their loot", eh?
Our gaming group usually only awards experience at a moment of rest.
Our gaming group usually only awards experience at a moment of rest.
We've done it after each encounter. Treasure too. Or else both party and DM might forget something....
Granted if a spellcaster levels, he/she has to wait until after a period of rest to be able to prepare/learn/pray for new spells/spell levels.
I dont ussually worry about XP until the end of the nights session then i add it all up and pass it out. If its enough to level up i try to get that out of the way that night so when the time comes to game again we all will be ready to go.
And yes as far as the video games go i ussually do get all wraped up in kiling things and taking their stuff. Actually i spend some time just wondering around, getting the lay of the land so to speak before i start on any missions or quests. This has really messed me up on Sacred as appreantly youre supposed to go in order or something so some of the quests dont load right and now i cant do them at all.
Usually we have new character sheets all ready to pull out and use when we level up. But there's always SOMEONE who doesn't do that....

That is a pretty good idea. I might try using that. Of course i play with a rather indecisive lot, one guy has yet to pick any feats yet cause he cant make his mind up. 2 guys i actually had to roll up their characters. In their deffense they didnt have access to the character builder so they just gave me some details of what they wanted and i took it from there.
You know, levelling up is what I hate most about d20 systems... probably why I'm leaning more towards storyteller again these days.

Well you still kinda level up in those games too, getting better at certain skills and what not, but yeah you dont get the Hit Point increase and all that. I know a lot of people that dont agree with Hit Points, but I like em, and I love leveling up. Its supposed to represent how much better you are at avoiding damage than actually being able to take more damage, although i think they could of worked that out a little better than just giving you more Hit Points, like maybe damage reduction or something. I admit i do like White Wolfs damage system, instead oh youre hit for 10 points of damage, its oh youre Bruised or Hurt or what ever.
They're very discrete increases though, and don't affect the character overall. You spending XP on diplomacy skills doesn't affect your ability to take a hit or score one in the slightest. That's the part I like the most, I can build those horribly cerebral characters who have glass jaws.

Thats half the fun right there!
yep all the feats.....
of course some of the prcs were trash..... you forgot about the dragon mags that them in it too

And some are uber-powered.
My Dragon mags are packed away. I coulda sworn I had the Dragon Compendium (or whatever it was called) that was published but I have no clue where it is....
yes some of them were, and some of them were just patheitc
Wizards should have called most of those splats: 'Complete Crap'.
The earlier ones weren't bad... the later ones just sucked though, despite having some interesting concepts in them. The ideas weren't bad, but the execution usually left a lot to be desired.

Thats exactly what I was gonna say! I liked the Tome and Blood, and ... well thats the only one I remember off the top of my head, then they went and just relesed those books again for 3.5 and stuck complete whatever on it. They better not do that with 4th, just relese the same stuff again and call it 4.5. That really, really turned me off of D&D for awhile. I loved 3e, but 3.5 was like a slap in the face. I guess it was some marketing genius's idea of how to make more money.
Whered everyone go?
I guess its just me and my Mage Hand
are you still here?
About deities- Where are Deneir now?
About deities- Where are Deneir now?
The Ghost King has that info. If I had a copy, I'd gladly provide spoilers, but alas, I do not. Suffice it to say he's gone (practically) for good.
Argh...in my country that book will relise in a year or more...Hope I will find a way to get it earlier. What I am saying we don't have even 5% of wizards books and we even have no shop to buy D&D =))) ( I ordered it from another country. )
If Deneir died from where do Caderly ger his powers...
There's a thread below this one called "What a lame way to go... (Spoilers)", which deals with The Ghost King, and (surprise, surprise) gives spoilers as to the outcome. Deneir's fate is mentioned briefly, albeit not in clear-cut, step-by-step terms. You might gleam a nugget or two of info from that thread.

A few too many nuggets if you plan on reading the novel.
Although I'm not a fan of spellscars as a plot device. See also Downshadow for the whole "spellscar as a plot device".... Granted it gave a certain character a weakness one doesn't normally see in a heroic character....

See the same thread that Lord Manshoon pointed out.
So now i know why Deneir didnt accept my bithdtay party invitation.
yep.
It's my birthday today. I'm 26. You're not invited.

By the way Happy Birthday you Elven SOB!

Sucks to be us then...
Yes, I make an exemption for you. The rest of you aren't invited, though.
oh well forget what i said about you then, youre all rite man!
I thought i was going to have to pull out my crying smiley again.
Yes, I make an exemption for you. The rest of you aren't invited, though.
And to think, I had convinced the designers to undo their "Seldarine goddesses are other goddesses" retcon, as a gift for your birthday. Oh well. I'll tell them not to bother, then.
happy birthday....
well I'll be spending mine with Selune and Siamoprhe and guess who I'm not calling??
Good lord, a little whippersnapper... at 26, you're still pretty much an Elfling. Bah, get back in those diapers before mom notices you're not in the crib anymore.
Oh, and Happy Birthday too.
Oh, fine, guys. I'm feeling generous, so you can all come to my birthday. Rejoice at my benevolence and kindness towards you.
Party like its 1369!
Nerds...
On a side note did JD get banned again already?
well he's not here... so either he took a part time vow of silence or he got suspended
Also nice avatar. Elaith for the win.
I just finished City of Spendors, and well he stole the show for me.
It's my birthday today. I'm 26. You're not invited.

Enjoy your time with Sune!
Seriously, happy birthday; hope it was a good day; may the rest of the weekend and the following year be a good one.

*sigh*
I do miss him.
that did seam to be the case.
disappear he did, came back starts 3 threads and all three threads become locked in a bout a week
Get used to it with that one. Probably got his parole revoked or somethin.

It's like he's our own little Cyric, and WOTC police the SunAmaunaTyr. So is JD's ban gonna last 1000 yrs? XD
Not sure I could be that fortunate, but one can hope...
and some one said something about giving me a soul for my b-day, i do enjoy getting souls, so if anybodyelse has a few extras id be more than happy to take them off your hands for ya.
So what's been going on? My computer finally bit the dust so I havn't been on in awhile, so what have I missed? Doesn't seem like too much.
Smiting or being smited.;)
I've been cutting back on that actually. For some reason it seems as though people do not like getting smited.
