Is there a category for deity-of-all-trades? I mean, Mieikki would be good. (Though the gender bit might be a handicap . . . or would it? After all, I could change that bit easily, right?) God of Magic would be nice, just because of the idea of that job. Erevan Ilesere and Eilistraee both kind of fit my personality . . . .
I could go on and on. The Forgotten Realms has too big a pantheon, if you ask me, and most of them have a piece of someone in them. However, if I had to choose one slot, I'd pick Oghma. Knowledge, invention, inspiration . . . you get to be both the top librarian (and read ALL the books, without having to worry about overdues) AND be the top teacher.
To those of you who prefer brute-force powers, I say to you, knowledge IS power. No information is useless, and by controlling the flow of information, you control the world.
Though I admit I'd change the name. "Oghma" sounds too much like a bad actor playing a caveman . . .
Yeah, Bookwyrm the Wize, Guardian of Knowledge. Sounds good.
-----------------------------
PS: To those who prefer the all-powerful aproach (can you imagine being able to do ANYthing? Boring!) and want to be Ao, look at Dark Lord's first post. He says "which FR god." Ao isn't a Toril god. He's the custodian of all of the Dungeons & Dragons worlds. That means he's off-limits in this thread.
So there. |

| I agree with Bookwyrm on this - Oghma has always been a firm favourite of mine. |
It is knowledge that influences and equalizes the social condition of man; that gives to all, however different their political position, passions which are in common, and enjoyments which are universal.

Oh come on now, were all forgetting about the most famous of all the gods.....Lloth/Lolth, she kicks ass, I would definately have to say I'd be her, she gets to F$%* with people all day, nothing but chaos!!!
If not, I'd kinda like to be Vhearun(spelling) even though I hate thieves worse than any class, but hey, he's cool!

Dark_Lord, I think that since we've respected your decision to like Bane, you could at least show the same courtesy to the rest of us here without the name calling. |

Do i really need do tell what i think of this?!
Not only you just yell your reply, but you don't even explain your choice. And finally, you never played female characters and never will just because you are a male? To put it in a nutshell you play characters that looks like you (Intellingence: 5 no?), what the point of role playing then?

You would be surprised, zemd, to see how many intelligent, evil people there are on this world. Good people, on the other hand, are “subordinate” and small minded. Not to intelligent to do something important. THEY ARE ONLY CREATED TO BE TORTURED AND HUMILIATED BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA…

I'm not here to judge anyone. It's a FR related forum, and we are going away from this original idea.
Write me an email, we'll be able to continue this discussion |

Jeez! I'd say "catfight" but that would probably be offensive to Zemd. And as for Dark Lord . . . if the dark shall always rule, why doesn't it? Hmm? Why did, for instance, the Nazis fall?
Quad erat demonstrandum.
Now, Zemd is right. As strong as the temptation may be, let's stay on-FR. |

And this is FR related... Because Hitler was an idiot. Madman. I don't support him, and I never will! He was not on the dark side he was only a man with serious mental problem. I pity him and disgust him at the same time…
Send me an E-Mail and we shall discuss it.

| Again I say that Mystra is who I would be. At a thought She stripped magical power from Cyric by cutting him off to the Weave and so tells me that she could do that to all gods except maybe Ao. Thats why I would be Her. She controls the magic to everyone and the gods. |

(runs into the forum, hacking and slashing his way through the thick bramble of egos that have accrued here...)
Wow, folks......a bit touchy these days, are we not?
Eh...I always fashioned myself like Larethian or perhaps Oghma. Creativity, violent opposition to ignorance, beauty. Sigh....I think I'll go read some John Keats now.... |

I hope that wasn't me you were slashing at there, ArionElenim. Good choice, by the way. I picked Oghma myself.
And Dark Lord, Hitler is NOT FR-related. I only mentioned him to prove a point. I don't want to talk about it on email. Now, if you don't mind, let's give some other posters a chance to speak, hmm? |

Speaking of gods and goddesses, does anyone know all of the elven ones or maybe where I can find them? I know Silvanus, Lloth (or Lolth), Mielikki...and I don't know if this is one but Rillifane. his name is mentioned in Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn.
If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks! |
"What's that," asked Mogget.

"What are sardines?" Moggest asked suspiciously. "And why is there a key? Is this some sort of Abhorsen joke?"

Silly 'ol Sadon. You introduced me to this site and now I have to give you directions?
Sigh. Some people . . .
Alundo's Library, Traveler's Notebooks, Forgotten Realms Netbooks, Unofficial Lore, Pantheon of the Realms. That's your treasure map. Follow it, you'll have your answers. Don't leave the path, though, everywhere else is boobytrapped . . . . |

And of course in the 3e Faiths and Pantheons accessory. Said book holds most if not all of the deities on (known) Toril.
For 2nd edition the resources are: Faiths & Avatars, Powers & Pantheons and Demihuman Deities. |

Hmmm... maybe I can help. If you'd like, I can e-mail you some information from the 3ed Faiths and Pantheons =) Just give me a reply and I'll get right on it!
As for you Dark Lord:
Subordinate? We of the good fight against the evil inside of ourselves and those outside. We do not act submissive to any evil at all. Evil ones may be mildly intelligent, but they lack the wisdom to see that the good will prevail. The only way good can be tortured and humiliated is through failing to uphold what is right and by not fighting against evil. - Kitira Gildragon |

| For the absolute BEST information in existence in the Realms concerning the Elven Pantheon, after you check out the 3rd ed Faiths and Pantheons tome, do yourself a favor and look at Elaine Cunningham's Evermeet: Island of Elves...it is (as I have said before) the Elven bible. It gives an EXTREMELY detailed account of the gods, their history, Lloth's downfall, their creation, and so on...but it particular, the look into their personalities is simply stunning... |
