#2 umbralknight Oct 08, 2008 2:27:55	Spelljammers were a portfolio? I am Jammy, GOD OF SPELLJAMMERS! Heh. This is an interesting list. Props for compiling it. [edit] haha! Sheep and unskilled labour. Some of these are rather funny, if you picture them as standalone portfolios. A god of sheep is somehow just an amusing idea.
#3 lord_karsus Oct 08, 2008 9:58:42	Spelljammers were a portfolio? -Anything can be a portfolio. ;) haha! Sheep and unskilled labour. Some of these are rather funny, if you picture them as standalone portfolios. A god of sheep is somehow just an amusing idea. -Hey, I did say that some were reaching a bit. A bit silly and such, but they're, in reality, free portfolios.
#4 christopher_rowe Oct 08, 2008 10:06:38	-Hey, I did say that some were reaching a bit. A bit silly and such, but they're, in reality, free portfolios. Well, if they're free, I guess I could help out. I'll take mute humanoids aaaand, let's see. Triplets. I might be able to squeeze in one more if you don't get enough takers.
#5 arliekkos Oct 08, 2008 12:46:33	What about Banjo, God of Clowns?
#6 chapien Oct 08, 2008 12:51:29	Hmm... I would like to claim a few of those portfolios...:D I'll grab slaves... but not as a god who supports slavery but as a god who helps slaves, as in slaves often worship him.
#7 krownhunter07 Oct 14, 2008 20:03:05	Since I have the portfolio of unclaimed portfolios... I take them all... yeah.
#8 Proin Oct 15, 2008 22:41:18	*ahem* All of these unclaimed portfolios are being liquidated and seized by the government to help shore up the foundations of our struggling cosmology. Do not be alarmed, I am with the government and I am here to help.
#9 suin_bahhar_02 Oct 19, 2008 15:49:42	"You're lame.": Kobluyat, Exarch of Killjoys. "No I provide for you and your fellows!": cried Moosse, God of Milk. No god of swordplay?
#10 kainhighwind Oct 20, 2008 5:52:03	WHere is the god of bootyliciousness?!
#11 Diffan Oct 20, 2008 9:03:06	Hmm, I figured Alcohol would already be taken, sooo... I'll take Alcohol, fog, aaand...... oh hells why not, Indifference. Or should I? Maybe I shouldn't. Meh, what do I care.
#12 lord_karsus Oct 20, 2008 11:58:55	-Yes, there certainly is a large selection, that can make some interesting and humorous combinations.
#13 phelf_der_zemit Oct 20, 2008 15:37:13	What about the idea of Nessicary Evils? The whole for the greater good idea. -Could that be a portfolio?- Nevermind. Anything can be a portfolio... Just wondered where this would come in.
#14 lord_karsus Oct 20, 2008 20:52:51	What about the idea of Nessicary Evils? The whole for the greater good idea. -Could that be a portfolio?- Nevermind. Anything can be a portfolio... Just wondered where this would come in. -Not exactly following what you mean. Could you define "Necessary Evils" better? As in, "Well, in order to kill those 1,000 Orcs, we needed to kill the Druid protecting the valley pass."?
#15 kainhighwind Oct 21, 2008 6:21:21	I am Baaatyo, god of sheep and bootyliciousness! WIth my powerful exarchs, Lambchop and Sir Mix a Lot!
#16 phelf_der_zemit Oct 21, 2008 6:34:45	Pretty much. The only way I see it coming into play is through assassination, but give me enough time and I'll think of another example.
#17 lord_karsus Oct 21, 2008 10:34:56	-I get you. Assassination is a necessary evil, sometimes. Assassination is an evil act, but the only way to kill the LE dictator and freeing the oppressed people would be to assassinate the dictator.
#18 phelf_der_zemit Oct 21, 2008 16:56:27	Exactly. It seems a perfect, if not some what crude example. Prehaps purposely bankrupting a guild so that the more plentiful entrepreneurs can thrive under the colapsed monopoly.
#19 CoarseDragon Oct 21, 2008 19:42:29	Isn't the Portfolio for the great God "Oops": Carelessness, Clumsiness and Incompetence?
#20 lord_karsus Oct 21, 2008 19:59:27	Exactly. It seems a perfect, if not some what crude example. Prehaps purposely bankrupting a guild so that the more plentiful entrepreneurs can thrive under the colapsed monopoly. -Unfortunately, the D&D alignment system has it's limitations, and this is one of them. Utilitarianism, which is the philosophy, that, basically, an action is justified if more benefit from it than are jeopardized by it, it moral. The assassination example is the perfect example. In D&D however, assassination is still evil, no matter how it is justified.
#21 phelf_der_zemit Oct 21, 2008 21:10:47	Damn technicalities. Always getting in the way.
#22 rinonalyrna_fathomlin Oct 23, 2008 20:09:42	Is the fungi portfolio unclaimed?
#23 lord_karsus Oct 28, 2008 11:15:24	Is the fungi portfolio unclaimed? -That sounds specific enough to not fall within the 'Rot' portfolio, so sure. I'll add it in.
#24 rinonalyrna_fathomlin Oct 28, 2008 11:30:02	-That sounds specific enough to not fall within the 'Rot' portfolio, so sure. I'll add it in. Great. They are a specific life form, and deserve their own catergory.
#25 mister_mxyztplk Oct 28, 2008 14:56:32	How about ascension or transcendence? A religion built upon using divine magic to grant its most devout followers the half-celestial template. That could become powerful and popular very quickly.
#26 phelf_der_zemit Oct 28, 2008 17:14:31	Protist? Agrh! Darn BioII.
#27 mister_mxyztplk Oct 28, 2008 21:49:01	Protist? Agrh! Darn BioII. What are Protist and BioII?
#28 ody_saraph_of_karsus Oct 29, 2008 7:52:29	Humor?
#29 rinonalyrna_fathomlin Oct 29, 2008 9:55:20	What are Protist... A type of microorganism. ...and BioII? Probably a reference to a biology class.
#30 lord_karsus Oct 29, 2008 10:33:12	-Huh. That makes sense. And here, I thought it was some kind of video game reference.
#31 mister_mxyztplk Oct 29, 2008 14:54:32	-Huh. That makes sense. And here, I thought it was some kind of video game reference. That's what I was thinking. Protist sounds like the same of that evil flying monkey head from my little brother's Starfox game.
