Yes, this is a major theme of the campaign Im in for my Friday night game. All but me are descendant of a deity of some sort.

My plan is to be my Templar homebrew variant Paladin, and some awesome race. What deity (if any) fits the bill. and no human.....

I need to be the descendant of a deity to make sense. Which deity should I pick, which has to be some form of spellcaster

Zeus pretty much had sex and then managed the cosmos in the rest of his free time.

Being the child of the Thunder God (King of the Gods) sounds pretty awesome.

since you said no human...

what about someone like Moradin the Soulforger...?

totally could see some Templar-type guys working for/being sired by him.

Favored Soul of Moradin would be cool too

what is that supposed to mean.....

Actually considered Asmodeus, though Vecna, the male Drow deity, and Mephistopheles were on the list

any deity (minus dragon), a homebrew setting that borrows from all of the others

NO ZEUS!!! The PCs would butcher me (minus a stormlord would look cool with that ;3)

And Moradin's out, cuz he is detained

If you're allowed to go out of the standard pantheon, The Keeper. He's pretty much the Eberron god of hell and is a spellcaster.

What race/class makes sense with him? Remember, in the last Eberron game, we had no deity-interaction

~LuckyBoneDice~
2010-04-14, 01:36 PM
Io? Dragon god.

I can't. No dragon gods (ie: Chronepis, Tiamat, Bahamut, Io, Ashardalon)

almost anything else is kosher however

No human....

Our deities are as follows:

Elf Ranger 1 (DMPC)- Correlleon
Elf Ranger 2 (DM's G/F)- Some female elf deity
Warforged Monk (XDM's little Bro)- Alpha Omega (my old warforged who's noble sacrifice caused the gods to raise him and make him a god)
Drow Wizard (XDM)- Inferno Baenre (DM's old pc-turned-god)
Dragonborn Myrmidon (DM's BFF)- Io (that's why I can't be descendant of Io)

Valkar(CG), deity of courage
KonKresh(CN), deity of Brute Force
Typhos(LE), deity of tyranny
Sulerain(NE), The Grim Lady, deity of slaughter

all from Complete Warrior.

*shrug*

Vaprak? isn't he the ogre/troll deity? that'd be kind of cool to be a half-ogre scion of Vaprak

for another Dwarf...how 'bout Clangeddin Silverbeard?

You should worship Chickenus, the chicken-infested commoner turned god who spawns whole planes of chickens as free actions.

Eberron deities aren't very big on racial deities. I also had mixed up the god I wanted to mention, he's The Shadow, god of deceit and corruption. It may also be bad that each of the pantheon has a dragon representation (except Vol, who's not actually a god... yet). Evil casters love him, and so do a lot of monstrous humanoids and various evilish things.

Omn is an old school deity with the portfolios of "Kicking Ass" and "Taking Names". He's become a lot more agreeable, however, since he gained the "Listens to his saints" portfolio.

ooh ooh be the scion of Grummush.

it could be like Supernatural! You're Sam and he's Dean! lol you work together because you have to eventually do battle at the end of time so the universe is saved! So until then you stay with one another and protect each other.

lol

Yet, instead of being a Templar or a Paladin, he would be a nice guy handing out informative flayers. :smalltongue:

I think, that being a Paladin of Olidammara might be interesting (and the whole "being his descendant" thing very probable). :smallbiggrin:

Ares. CE, but not necessarily kill everything type. A freaking god of war. Also, he's got a kick-ass picture in the Deities and Demigods.

Garl Glittergold would be willing to sell him one for some chickens, I suppose.

What about the celtic gods? If you are set on Evil, there's always the Morrigan. If you can worship Mephistopheles and the other planar overlords, what about Mydianchlarus? He's definitely not human in any sense of the word.

Then be a half-giant descendant of Stronmaus. He's like Zeus, only less of a jerk. Plus you get to be a half-giant, a very solid +1 LA race for melee types.

I had considered a revamp of the Idea.

He is a Hellbred created on the day Helm died, causing his Hellbred form to become corrupted by Helm's divine energies. He now wishes to take his "father's" place as the next Helm

1. .... what's with the fricken chickens??? Chicken Infested Commoners + hangman's nuse = Choking Chickens?

2. I like Hellbred for the flavor... Mmmmmm.... Tastes like doughnuts.... mmmm..............doughnuts
