Common Courtesy dictates that you should set some ground-rules, and provide maybe an example. That said, you should NOT hide what little ground-rules you have with snow-colored text. Especially not in the first post. -.-

[Allanimal]

But if they have stats, they can be killed. And I don't want to lose any of my favorite GitP regulars.

[Devronq]

Who do you consider regulars? I mean I'm on every day for almost two years now I'm sure most people don't know me but Urpreist is pretty well known other than that I don't even know who would he considered a regular.

[Fable Wright]

But if they have stats, they can be killed. And I don't want to lose any of my favorite GitP regulars.

The problem with that is, while it's possible in a hypothetical situation to kill, say, God-Emporer Tippy, you have to contend with the fact that it's Tippy you're dealing with, and that his portfolio sense means that he knows about your optimization attempt weeks before it happens.

[Snowbluff]

We all already have stats from that thread that requested builds for us. I think I am a Swiftblade or a fey.

Ugh fine. I'll post an example. Ruins the spontaneity. :smalltongue:

Chigs, Chaotic Evil Minor Deity
The god of bugs. He became a god after besting the previous god of bug, flies, in a hotdog eating contest, and won his domains through that.
Portfolio: Bugs, Mosquitoes, Annoyance.
Domains: Vermin, Darkness, Nature

If you post here, you can be targeted. That makes you a regular. Tippy is a good example.

and just because they can be killed doesnt mean you can kill them

[Callin]

[Removed till I receive permission from EmperorTippy]

Yall have my permission though.

[Roland St. Jude]

Sheriff: Only do this with Playgrounders who have given you permission. This was asked about in Board Issues recently. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=312273)

[Snowbluff]

Okay.

I'll give my permission. May we have yours?

[Roland St. Jude]

Okay.

I'll give my permission. May we have yours?Sure, why not? I have the power to obliterate insufficient efforts.

[Lord_Gareth]

Go for it.

...On the condition that I get more than these tiny little write-ups here. I mean, c'mon, there's more to gods than that. What's the clergy like? How do they say their prayers? Favored weapon? Secret or public faith? Many clerics or few?

[Waker]

I'll give my permission, though I would be rather curious to see what kinda mock up I'd get. I don't think I'm all that recognizable around here, at least enough to get statted up.
I would love to see some posts about some of the others though. Tippy obviously would get the Optimization Domain, Psyren would be a Psionic Deity and why not give T G Oksar the Verbose domain?

[Flickerdart]

I don't know if I qualify as a deity...maybe a demon prince. :smallamused: Feel free to hurl some stats in my general direction.

Roland St. Jude Lawful Good Major Deity
Portfolio: Thread Necromancy, Moderation, Internet Arguments, Threads
Domains: Law, Good, Protection, Evil, Destruction.
Roland St. Jude rose to god-hood on the bodies of the Troll Gods, a groups of lesser deities. Before long, he was a mighty deity. Some of his Domains and Portfolio were originally those of the now-slain Troll Gods. He maintains the fragile balance of the threads with the power he has over these retooled properties.

He has few followers, since he is powered by properly moderating threads. However, people pay him respect before posting threads.

And I am requesting assistance with this so I don't explode. :smalleek:

Karsus' avatar certainly did, but I don't remember just killing a deity did that...

[Fates]

I doubt anyone would consider statting me, as I'm not terribly well-known around these parts. Even so, in the spirit of the thread I give permission.

I'll be sure to subscribe to this.

[Snowbluff]

*gives permission* Ah, yes, one of these things. :smallsmile:

Morcleon Lawful Chaotic Lesser Deity
Portolfio: Orcs, Pork, Things that rhyme with Morc, Space.
Domains: Gluttony, Orcs, Trickery, Luck, Travel.

He got bored one day and decided to collect a portfolio. He ended setting on things that rhymed with "Morc," which was, like, 2 things.

His clerics are often poets, respecting his choice.


Also, killing deities granted you their powers? :smallconfused:

I think I'll ask Ceika for permission...

[Zanos]

Karsus' avatar certainly did, but I don't remember just killing a deity did that...

(Anyone who cares enough to stat me up can, so long as they don't do it in a way which is obviously meant to be offensive).

Nitpick: Karsus's avatar didn't kill the god, it allowed the user to command their power for a limited amount of time. Karsus was unable to sustain the weave however, and Mystrl sacrificed herself to sever his connection to it so the damage wouldn't become irreparable.

Karsus's intention was to borrow Mystrl's powers so he could save Netheril, not become a deity.

[Fable Wright]

Afroakuma NE Intermediate Deity
Portfolio: Knowledge of planes, forced labor, public works, all evil.
Domains: Creation, Evil, Tyrrany, Knowledge, all Planar.

Afroakuma started off your average run of the mill incarnation of all evil in the universe. However, due to fate, random chance, or a whim, he was born with something unique: An afro that acted as an extension of his brain. Even as he traveled the multiverse spreading evil, he remembered everything that he encountered, and soon grew to become one of the greatest sages of lore in the universe. As his knowledge grew, so did his power and evil. After a time, he grew bored of learning all the information of the universe; he already had it. When this occurred, the works that would launch him into deityhood began.

Over aeons, Afroakuma conscripted mortals into projects to create entirely new universes, with new sets of rules, participating in the excavation and renovation of the crystal sphere of Kamala. After following through with its completion, he felt invigorated, and began work to create an entirely new crystal sphere, a feat never before accomplished by any save an overdeity. He named this new, primordial place Perantea, and began to plan and begin its design. However, infernal politics prevented him from properly forming the sphere, though enough was accomplished through his work that he began to ascend to divinity.

After founding a cult of planar scholars of all alignments on the mortal realm, his power grew great enough to become a proper God, and his influence and the diligence and public works of his priests and those that served under him caused him to quickly become an Intermediate deity, a position he holds to this day.

Those who attempt to contact afroakuma with Contact Other Plane about Planar matters may treat him as a Greater Deity, though there is no chance of a random or 'don't know' result. Prayers are recited in the form of question about the nature of the multiverse, whacking themselves on the head, then reciting the answer. The clergy of afroakuma tend to be either very cynical or very inquisitive, leading to an odd blend of individuals in his cult, which maintains a moderate open presence in metropolises around the multiverse, primarily on Sigil.

(Also, permission to write me up granted to anyone who wants to.)

[ScrambledBrains]

Although a regular, I'm not exactly a big name on the forum, but...if anyone wants to stat me up, go right ahead. :smallbiggrin:

[Ganorenas]

Doc_Maynot

Chaotic Good Lesser Deity

Portfolio:
Healing, Mooninities, Bardbarians

Domains:
Healing, Trickery, Moon, Balance

Doc_Maynot comes from humble begins, attempting to maximize her ability to heal her comrades, and even attains great renown for her unique efforts. Shortly after achieving this goal, Doc_Maynot tuned toward the study of Lycans and became enamored with them through one of Doc’s many questing partners, gaining great insight and knowledge into their kind. With this new knowledge, Doc began gaining renown with the deities of the Playground and conversing with them much more regularly, going so far as to master her rage and love of music, channeling her primal instincts to grant herself and her allies far more prestige within the world than before. Due to Doc_Maynot’s efforts she has ascended beyond the mortal she once was, and now grants her blessings to any aspiring Healers, Bardbarians, and natural or newly created Lycans, whom she has lovingly dubbed her Mooninites. From her large pool of abilities, Doc has begun to not focus on her healing or rage buffing, but to become a generalist so that her variety of worshipers may better get to know her. Some say she has started to camouflage herself within her clergy to find those most worthy of her teachings and leads them on a new path, one with many varied abilities that change to fit the needs of their allies and families.

[Red Fel]

You know, it might be easier if people interested in being statted simply sent a PM to Snowbluff, who could list all people who have given permissions in the OP. That way, we don't have ten pages of "I give permission," and can focus on the actual pantheon.
If you're reading this, I give permission.
As a side note, I find this an intriguing thread, and I look forward to learning the terrible secrets of how you all came to power some useful blackmail material amusing anecdotes about you some useful blackmail material.

I think that's a decent idea, but let's wait for his response before going with it. Pm inbox has a limited capacity after all.

That said, I'd be more than a little curious to see what someone might consider me. Though my recent absence may preclude me from being considered a regular.

Yeah, I can't clear my PM box just yet. I am DMing a game that has important info in my PM box.

I'll try and scoop up the permissions and then edit them in on the first page.

I feel like a lot of the optimizers wouldn't necessarily be running optimized builds themselves, but builds that fit the theme of knowledge or study or knowing. The type of people that would be capable of poring through tomes and tomes of information and understanding and remembering all of it. So, like, loremasters and cloistered clerics and the like.

[Thiyr]

On the one hand, I find this concept terribly interesting. On the other, I fully recognize that I'm not nearly...pervasive enough to be of interest. If anyone wants to take up the challenge, have at. Either way, I think I'll take up the challenge of creating a Fax.

Fax Celestis
LN Intermediate Deity

Portfolio: Diggles, Revision, Violins

Domains: Animal, Craft, Kobold (Diggle), Moon

Blade in hand, Fax took his first steps into the Dungeon, seeking to prevent the escape of even more of this dread evil. In the distance, a yellow beast, its drilling probiscus sharp and thirsty for blood. He kicked at a nearby door, wishing to leave the creature to its nest. Unfortunately, his toes broke. The last words he would hear before the creatuer impaled him would be, simply, "I hate you so much".

But Fax was not slated to die that day. Instead, he rose up empowered. His body capable of assuming the form these spiteful creatures, he found himself uniquely suited to the environ in which he was felled, and its reconstruction. Laying eggs was a small price to pay.

As the dungeon was reshaped to his whimsy, Fax delved deeper, eventually facing a dread lich in single combat. The lich had hidden away artifacts of great power. In grand drunken tradition, Fax blindly activated one of them, and was ascended to Godhood, granting him dominion over even basic laws of reality.

He was still stuck with the eggs.

Fax's followers are both numerous and short-lived. Many seek to follow in his steps as pilgrimage, with most ending their journey at that same first door. They bring tithes of lutefisk, and seek to petition him for how they would like to see the world changed...and how soon. Even to those who convince him their revisions need be made real, however, there is always one thing he can be known to say: "It will be done when its done."

[Kennisiou]

So, optimized builds? :smalltongue:

I don't think Loremaster is a particularly optimization-heavy class. Entry requirements are a bit strict and it doesn't pay off that much better than being straight wizard/straight cleric. It's generally better than straight wiz/cleric/sorc, but optimization isn't about being generally better, it's about being generally best and I doubt Loremaster has a place on most builds that aren't thematically required to be Loremasters.

Cloistered Cleric is boss as bosses, though, yeah.

Edit: Also, I doubt they'd be super heavy into optimizing domains if we're going for theming > power. Planning domain would make sense, as would knowledge, but I doubt they'd then go on to take, say, undeath or something strong like that which helps with divine metamagic.

For Loremaster, I didn't think you meant the actual class. I thought you meant characters that use divinations to know stuff ahead of time. Also, Domains are only really useful to deities for their domain sense, in which case, Planning and Knowledge domains are significantly more powerful in a general sense than, say, undeath or something that helps mortals with divine metamagic.

I'll probably work on statting people up tomorrow...

I really want to see a stat-block for Jade_Tarem, though....

[gurgleflep]

Just started reading all of the comments and this sounds rather fun and I like what I'm seeing!

Now, I see "forum regulars," and I think I'm fairly regular. I don't make comments every day but I at least look through things :smallsmile:
I grant persmission to anybody/everybody who wants to make a deity out of me, but I want ya'll to know: I like drow, orcs, mind flayers, barbarians, psionics, shillelaghs, hats, and cheese! :smallbiggrin:
You're all fun :smallsmile:

Roland St. Jude Lawful Good Major Deity
Portfolio: Thread Necromancy, Moderation, Internet Arguments, Threads
Domains: Law, Good, Protection, Evil, Destruction.
Roland St. Jude rose to god-hood on the bodies of the Troll Gods, a groups of lesser deities. Before long, he was a mighty deity. Some of his Domains and Portfolio were originally those of the now-slain Troll Gods. He maintains the fragile balance of the threads with the power he has over these retooled properties.

He has few followers, since he is powered by properly moderating threads. However, people pay him respect before posting threads.

And I am requesting assistance with this so I don't explode. :smalleek:

You forgot Favored Weapon: Rawhide's Hat.

I say this because his Sheriff avatar (and possibly this new one, I can't quite tell) seems to have Rawhide's hat in the little view bubble thing hovering over his hand.

If you post here, you can be targeted. That makes you a regular. Tippy is a good example.

Well there's no way I'm going to post on this thread then, ..., oh bugger.

JaronK
Chaotic Neutral Minor Deity of Tiers

JaronK has ascended to godhood after stealing his porftolio from a fighting game god. After that, he divided all some classes in tiers, causing the whole world to become a competitive environment. His followers are supposed to explain how the system works, but not all of them can figure it out, since it s so subjective and subject to its creator's whims. Disbelievers are sacrificed ritualistically with fire and acid.

That seems kind of harsh...

[Fax Celestis]

On the one hand, I find this concept terribly interesting. On the other, I fully recognize that I'm not nearly...pervasive enough to be of interest. If anyone wants to take up the challenge, have at. Either way, I think I'll take up the challenge of creating a Fax.

Fax Celestis
LN Intermediate Deity

Portfolio: Diggles, Revision, Violins

Domains: Animal, Craft, Kobold (Diggle), Moon

Blade in hand, Fax took his first steps into the Dungeon, seeking to prevent the escape of even more of this dread evil. In the distance, a yellow beast, its drilling probiscus sharp and thirsty for blood. He kicked at a nearby door, wishing to leave the creature to its nest. Unfortunately, his toes broke. The last words he would hear before the creatuer impaled him would be, simply, "I hate you so much".

But Fax was not slated to die that day. Instead, he rose up empowered. His body capable of assuming the form these spiteful creatures, he found himself uniquely suited to the environ in which he was felled, and its reconstruction. Laying eggs was a small price to pay.

As the dungeon was reshaped to his whimsy, Fax delved deeper, eventually facing a dread lich in single combat. The lich had hidden away artifacts of great power. In grand drunken tradition, Fax blindly activated one of them, and was ascended to Godhood, granting him dominion over even basic laws of reality.

He was still stuck with the eggs.

Fax's followers are both numerous and short-lived. Many seek to follow in his steps as pilgrimage, with most ending their journey at that same first door. They bring tithes of lutefisk, and seek to petition him for how they would like to see the world changed...and how soon. Even to those who convince him their revisions need be made real, however, there is always one thing he can be known to say: "It will be done when its done."

Well done. You even got my alignment right.

[Oko and Qailee]

I lied, I did JaronK first. Hope you like it.


JaronK : Lawful Good (emphasis on good over lawful) deity of understanding
Portfolio: Destiny, Balance (of power), Guidance
(tbh IDK what qualifies as a portfolio listings that can be applied to a forum poster)
Domains: Balance, Community, Destiny, Good, Law, knowledge, Halfling

Backstory: (please excuse my lack of ranks in Knowledge: Forumgoers, I've only been on GITP for a year). Not much is known of JaronK before his ascension into godhood. Rumor has it he was a simple halfling with nary a form of magical ability. However, he (as recorded history would have it) was the first to notice and detail the clear discrepancy of power within the world. He observed that Wizards could be more powerful than a fighter could dream and also suck more than a fighter could dream (see: Flickerdarts Signature). He then detailed his findings on a magical list called "the tiers" and when the knowledge of it spread... well, lets just say he's a deity now. JaronK made good use of his new heightened knowledge. He informed other powerful beings, known as "DM's" on how to make the world more fun for "players" through proper balance before a world would even spring to existence! It is not known what plane he lies on, but he frequently visits to plane of Giants in the Playground to grant his wisdom on others and explain the balance of the universe. It is rumored that the only knowledge of the universe not perfectly clear to JaronK is that involving psionics, but even then his knowledge is greater than that of most mortals.

Why is JaronK statted as such?
I'm statting up people based of my experiences with them, so keep in mind that my opinion may be horribly off from yours. I'm also writing ~1/2 this section before looking up stuff so that way I know what qualities I'm looking for in terms of domains, etc.

The first thing I ever knew about JaronK is that he is "the tier list" guy, I don't think I need to elaborate much more on what this entails as I think we're sick of tier list discussions at this point. But basically this would make me think of him as 1) and older god, 2) not-chaotic 3) Having to do with balance

Ofc, having joined GITP about a year ago, I now know a bit more about JaronK. He's not just the tier list guy, but I also think of him as "Mr. Build helpful." While not as visible as Tippy in this regard (seriously, I think I've seen tippy in every "I need help with an interesting build" thread ever) he still frequently chimes in with a short piece of sage advice followed by his signature at the end. He can also be found explaining his tier list, he usually defends the list and the classes placings (see: Warblade/Warlock discussion recently) without being rude, talking down to others, etc. He simply explains his placement and explains it well.

He also wrote a neat scouting guide.

If there are adjectives I'd use to describe Mr JaronK its: helpful, polite, structured, consistent, clear, understanding (as in he helps you understand better build options/his tier list).

Now I really want to do Tippy to contrast him with JaronK (Tippy's a cool guy also, so it would be fun)

DOMAIN explanations:
Balance: See Tier lsit and how JaronK discussed how to balance gaames around it
Community: JaronK is polite, helpful, active member of GitP
Destiny: Related to the idea that being a certain class can someone destin you to a certain level of power
Good: JaronK's a pretty good guy in my book
Law: JaronK is pretty consistent and unwavering, he doesn't take this very far though, which is why I think Jaron is more of the Good than the Lawful type
Knowledge: He has a good mastery of the 3.5 rules as far as I'm aware.
Halfling: Dude, JaronK is a halfling

You don't have to claim them. With as few people posting stats, I think it's best not to make a restriction.

If it's just one headache in place of another, though, no bother. No one will die from having to trawl internet threads......will they? *panic*

[Oko and Qailee]

OK, kish

Kish : Lawful Neutral deity of OotS discussion
Portfolio: Lore, Debate, Philosophy
Domains: Fire (or Cold), Competition, Courage, Law, Elf, Trickery, Law, Knowledge

Backstory:
Lo, the titan diety in the playground, Kish! Kish is a cosmic force of knowledge that has existed beyond the age of mortal man. He specializes in knowledge of some obscure universe filled with stick figures, but also is skilled in knowledge of the physics of said universe as well. Kish sees the universe of stick figures, and often discusses with other being in the plane of Giants in the Playground what is the meaning and life lessons that are observed from the land of Stick Figures (OotS if you haven't realized by now).

Often, the powerful Kish comes into disagreement with other beings within the plane of Giants in the Playground. One must be careful, for Kish is quite knowledgeable in the art of debate, and a fallacy of logic will quickly cause Kish to raise an eyebrow and unleash a deific smiting. While not perfect at debate himself, he is certainly above many. He is a deity with a multitude of opinions on the world of Stick Figures, and he has no fear of disagreeing and may even behave a tad bit like a grumpus.

But, perhaps Kish's most interesting quality, is that his visage and persona are merely an illusion. For in fact Kish is actually Rich Berlew, disguised.

Why is Kish statted as such?
Oooooh boy. Ok, so my first conversation with Kish was about whether Roy was committing an evil act in Strip #11 off OotS (This is not the place to argue about it). During the conversation it was clear that me and Kish were not gonna agree, I accused him of being rude, he pointed out I was being rude, and, what can I say, I was indeed.

So, before I review at any posts, this is how I think of Kish:
Kish is Rich Berlews second account (YES, I HAVE FIGURED YOU OUT!), in which he is more free to grumpily point out to people why they're wrong about OotS.

This is because: 1) From memory, Kish tends to agree with Rich... about everything (not like, he fanboys about it, he just has the same opinion) 2) He can be a grumpus sometimes 3) Is it weird to say that he just argues how I think Rich would argue if no one knew it was him?

Now, lets talk more about Kish. His knowledge of OotS is expansive, he knows his stuff, and he'll correct you. Have an opinion about OotS at all? Well you can bet Kish will contribute to the discussion, either agreeing or disagreeing, but always bring up a good point. Some of his disagreements with others end up becoming nitpicking of logic and Kish is pretty solid about giving clear following arguments.

So, I didn't actually go look up posts... I decided to do this from memory. Anyway lets review, what is kish like?
1) He is Rich Berlew (DENY IT ALL YOU WANT, I SEE THE TRUTH)
2) He knows OotS (so some lore based thing here, not mechanics, but lore)
3) He can be a tiny bit of a grumpus sometimes
4) Hes pretty good with logic
5) Is very vocal about his opinions

DOMAIN explanation:
Fire (or Cold) - Represents his grumpyness
Courage - He's not afraid to have an opinion and back it up
Competition - Oh, he is not backing down
Knowledge - He knows his OotS
Law - Logical and consistent
Elf - Dude, he's an elf
Trickery - He's so good at trickery that I'm the only one who knows hes Rich!!! Too late now though!


I don't think I did as good of a job on this one. But JaronK is easily in my top 3 favorite people in GITP, so it's no surprise I did better on that one.

[Ghost Nappa]

The problem with this thread is that if you write-up everyone as deities then you don't have anyone running around spreading their message.


So someone needs the +5 Holy Cojones to man up and a be a cleric/Paladin/Druid/Ranger/Holy Religious Person.

I here by give permission for myself to be written up as a Cleric of one or more GitP Pantheon deities, but explicitly not a deity because I want to be needlessly arbitrary today.


Additionally, I'm pretty sure this thread makes The Giant like a +7 Zeus or something.

Curmudgeon - "the rules man that breaks all the rules." (ie so much RAW\rules knowledge, and known to be one of the best sources of inspiration, builds and such for the Rogue class)

Psyren - one of the people who got me interested in learning the Psionic system, and inspired me to look into PF.

Would be amusing. If they agree to be statted out and if anyone who knows them better than me can type it up.

Eggynack
Intermediate Deity
Neutral Good
Portfolio: Nature, Shapeshifting, Druids, Desmondu Hunting Bats

Eggynack is an enigmatic being, who normally appears as an everyday forum goer, who believes that true mastery comes from looking deep within, and be mindful of the everchanging and mutable nature of the classes.

Dogma: Eggynack watches over and gives advice on all topics regarding druids, and many other classes, particularly the more nature-oriented ones. Whether this is by accident or design, only this powerful being knows. He exhorts his followers to look inwardly to their minds eye, and envision what you want to do, only then do you look outwardly for the means to accomplish your goal. As he pushes his followers to always delve deep and find new things, he himself is often surprised by what he finds out when he searches down in himself and exults when he realizes new bits of information.

Writers Reasoning's: Well, I chose NG for Eggy cuz it seems to fit him more than the other alignments. He is usually helpful, and doesn't often go overboard when he defends his beliefs. I hope I got close to the mark with this write-up though:smallsmile:

This is a great topic. I'm surprised this hasn't happened before. If anyone wants to stat me, that would be fine. Everyone I could think of as a presence has already stepped in for the most part.

[The Trickster]

I haven't been around long enough to be a god. I am still on my GitP pilgrimage, I suppose. :smallbiggrin:

Side note. A part if me really wants Pickford to give permission. It would never happen, but...

Side note. A part if me really wants Pickford to give permission. It would never happen, but...
You shouldn't even do that kinda thing unless you make it sound cool. Something like a deity of chaos and divisiveness, casting mortals aside in the wake of his hurricane-like arguments. Maybe also something about being a bulwark against the masses, in the face of outstanding opposition. Y'know. Cool. :smallcool:

Edit: Also, now I really want to write up a Pickford deity too. I was typing stuff, and I think it ended up sounding all nifty and junk.

[Waker]

Man, did I really make it all the way up to Ettin without ever writing a handbook or a guide or anything to make myself memorable? I should start thinking about my legacy.
I considered writing up an Incarnum handbook, but Shneeky beat me to the punch.

You forgot to mention a Selective Anti-Magic Field. In fact, I imagine Tippy's entire plane is subjected to one, just so he is the only one who has access to magic.

No mention of wish traps? We're slipping :smalltongue:

@ Snowbluff - the weekend is coming sir, and there will. be. STATS!!!
Also going to disagree with your earlier post that I'm too lazy to go back and quote regarding identifying who you intend to write up, personally I was a bit irked after specifically asking Afro's permission to have DM o' Darkness nab it.

[eggynack]

No mention of wish traps? We're slipping :smalltongue:

True enough. I would have actually gone with something like a trap of create food and water, because that's an idea that feels very emblematic of the Tippyverse. Sure, wish traps are obviously there, but putting that kind of magic on the very mundane and functional level is what I think gives the Tippyverse a lot of its staying power.

[Curmudgeon]

I'd love to read a stat-up\backstory thing on theese dieties:

Permission granted; do your worst. :smallbiggrin:

Just do a write up. This isn't a competition, guys. If you have permission, just go with it and have fun. :smalltongue:

Goddess Mary/Mori Neutral Good Overgoddess
Portfolio: Avatar, The Rift, Heroes, Rosewood
Domains: Good, Protection, Destiny, Summoner, Portal

Mary is the goddess of the Avatar in the Rosewood setting, and has little power elsewhere. She rarely if ever crosses into other planes, outside of the prime material plane. Her primary motivation is protecting Rosewood from inter-planer threats like the demonic invasion of Rosewood, or the Hulks' invasion of Helman. She prefers to fight via summoning teenagers with attitude to Rosewood from the prime material plane.

Outside of Rosewood she has a mere single divine rank, and is treated as a demigod. All gods in Rosewood indirectly answer to her, and similar to Krynn only the gods of Rosewood have any power in Rosewood. Outside of the avatar summoning business she rarely intervenes with Rosewood, trusting the other gods to do their jobs.

[Werephilosopher]

People probably don't know me since I haven't been a member very long, but I've been a regular visitor for years... if someone wants to, feel free to stat me up. I'd probably only be a demigod, but whateves. :smallsmile:

[Thiyr]

So is the list in the OP tracking everyone who gave permission, or everyone who has one/will have one done? If the former, I give my permission (again).

Also, Fax, I'm imagining trying to get one hand to split like the latter of those. Somehow I think I'd have to grow some more fingers.

Lord_Gareth
Intermediate Deity
Chaotic Neutral Blue/Black
Portfolio: Chaos, creation, destruction, making really dark and spooky homebrew
Domains: Madness, Retribution, Chaos, Mentalism, Mysticism

Lord_Gareth is a rather cruel god, creating inspired works of art with horrific powers and destinies. His creations inevitably invoke some kind of madness, and either wreak destruction upon their foes or endure it themselves. One tale of Lord_Gareth tells of how he fought a primeval force of evil; upon its defeat, he cut it to bits on his enchanted ouija cutting board, and attached the little pieces to souls that flew by his realm on the way to rebirth on the Material Plane. These souls, known as Harrowed, are forced to share a body with an evil force of destruction for all eternity; not even death grants them respite. Apparently, Lord_Gareth did this "because it sounded fun."

For all his cruelty, though, Lord_Gareth is not truly evil. He seems to have some good intent in his actions; namely, the pleasing and abetting of mysterious entities, known only as "other forum users." These users seem to give Lord_Gareth his divine power, as he has few worshipers- those who learn of his presence tend to go mad from the knowledge, and those who don't seem like they did anyway.

Although I haven't viewed all of Lord_Gareth's homebrew or posts, I am a big fan of his Harrowed and Malefactor base classes, and I've considered using his alignment system when I become a more experience DM. Most of what I know comes from his homebrew, and if I got anything wrong or left important aspects out I apologize.

[ArcturusV]

Shouldn't madness inspired be Red/Black for that? Or maybe Red/Blue?

[Werephilosopher]

Shouldn't madness inspired be Red/Black for that? Or maybe Red/Blue?

I really had a hard time deciding to leave out Red, I felt like any one of the three combinations of Red/Black/Blue could work to some degree.

[Aegis013]

Flickerdart
Greater Deity
Symbol: a White Scarf under a Brown Hood
Home: Giant in the Playground
Alignment: Neutral Good
Portfolio: Wit, Knowledge, Clarity, Teaching
Worshipers: Typically scholars who follow in Flickerdart's example; sharing knowledge through humor and joke. Striving to help others understand things while simultaneously lifting their spirits.
Domains: Charm, Community, Joy, Knowledge, and Truth.
Favored Weapon: Cunning (Dagger, if you need an actual weapon)

Dogma:
Flickerdart is a Good deity who's main agenda is the spreading of understanding while providing witty remarks enjoyable to those who hear them. He takes a balanced view when it comes to differences of opinion and encourages his followers to do the same, including when it comes to opinions which differ from their own.

Clergy and Temples:
Flickerdart's clerics typically wear white scarves and brown hoods, as their deity's symbol portrays. Many of them are Cloistered Clerics, or Wizards who put an extra emphasis in Charisma. They are quick to smile and laugh and mirth and knowledge is their trade.

Flickerdart's temples are usually set up so that there are various tables with comfortable seats and a brightly lit stage where people can stand and speak. (Imagine a comedy club) Food, drink and merriment are encouraged in his temples, but violence and insult is forbidden.

Emperor Tippy
Overdeity
Symbol: An open tome with a glowing rune displayed on the pages surrounded by a ring of smaller runes underneath a brilliant crown.
Home: Where few dare to tread.
Alignment: True Neutral
Portfolio: Creation, Power, Resourcefulness, Planning
Worshipers: Worshipers of Emperor Tippy are only the few who have the ability to understand his teachings. They are those individuals who draw great power from the world around them and actively use that power to shape it.
Domains: Competition, Creation, Glory, Magic, Planning, and Spell Domains.
Favored Weapon: Magic (Quarterstaff)

Dogma:
The Emperor desires his followers to be the best they can be, so in order to provide a mechanism for that, he provided a world for them in which in order to survive, they must often be a combination of brilliant, lucky, and paranoid. Only the bravest, the most foolish, the most cunning, the most paranoid, and most powerful dare to tread in his realm.

Clergy and Temples:
Emperor Tippy's most devout followers are those who have survived and thrived in the environment he has created. They are the those who take the world and change it to be as they desire through whatever means they have. They are ambitious and brilliant. He, however, has many followers who simply can't thrive in this environment, but pay him great respect regardless.

The Emperor's temples are typically the size of a metropolis and have an impressive array of defenses to thwart those who might wish to tear them down, from the application of weirdstones, to magical traps and permanent invisible, permanent telepathic bond warforged in command of squads of shadesteel golems.


Edit: More to come, probably.

Urpriest
Intermediate Deity
Symbol: Three jagged claw marks.
Alignment: True Neutral
Portfolio: Beasts, Monsters, Creation
Worshipers: Typically magic-users interested in creating new and exciting creatures.
Domains: Animal, Plant, Summoner, Dragon Below
Favored Weapon: Claw

Dogma:
Urpriest teaches the responsible magical experimentation that leads to new forms of life. Through the mixing of templates, aspects of some monsters with others, etc. Often for the purposes of guarding the follower's lair, or dungeon. While Urpriest won't actively prevent these magical experimentations to be used for evil, he does frown upon it.

Clergy and Temples:
Urpriest's clergy are typically Wizards, Sorcerers, Malconvokers, or other summoners, grafters, or magic users who employ the use of other creatures. Some are very guarding of their advancements, but others share their progress.

Urpriest doesn't have traditional temples, but rather he has magic message-ways with which his followers can share their discoveries and advancements with each other, all from the comfort of their own lair, dungeon, tower, etc. The connections between these places (and possibly these places themselves, together) serve as Urpriest's temples.

Curmudgeon
Greater Deity
Symbol: a set of scales, perfectly balanced
Home: Giant in the Playground
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Portfolio: Rules, Deals and Pacts, Legality
Worshipers: Typically Experts who seek to understand the laws of the universe, however anyone who seeks this goal can be a worshiper of Curmudgeon.
Domains: Law, Pact, Mentalism, Mind and Knowledge.
Favored Weapon: The Pen (Crossbow)

Dogma:
Curmudgeon's teachings follow a strict adherence to rules and the understanding of the rules. He teaches his followers to seek out an understanding of the rules at not only a surface, but the fundamental level. His followers seek to understand the workings of the universe around them.

Clergy and Temples:
Followers of Curmudgeon come from all kinds of backgrounds, but many are Experts. They perform experiments to try to determine the guiding rules of the world they live in. Mostly they do research.

Temples to Curmudgeon are large structures which often house vast and intricate contraptions whose purpose is lost on the commonfolk, they are often elaborate devices used to test various theories of the members of that temple. They are places of study and the sharing of knowledge, often very quiet. Within their doors, new revelations are worth a great deal more than gold.

Psyren
Greater Deity
Symbol: An array of six crystals of six different colors
Home: Giant in the Playground
Alignment: True Neutral
Portfolio: Mind, Psionics, Crystals
Worshipers: Psions and other psionic creatures.
Domains: Mind, Mentalism, Magic, and Oracle
Favored Weapon: Quarterstaff

Dogma:
Psyren teaches the honing of one's mind until one can affect the world with a mere thought. As long as his followers use psychic or mental abilities to resolve their issues, or to help them resolve their issues, they are following Psyren's teachings.

Clergy and Temples:
Psyren's followers are typically Psions or other psionic creatures. They seek to hone their mental abilities and use their minds to accomplish their goals. They often keep dull grey ioun stones to help mark them as followers of Psyren.

Psyren's temples are often structures crafted entirely from crystal, and filled with various gems and psionic crystals. Any psionic creature is treated warmly, however, non-psionic creatures are often regarded as strangers and treated somewhat coldly.

[RFLS]

Anyone can take a swing at me, if they wish. Not sure if writing a handbook gets me anything here =P

I'll see what I can do about deifying one of the other members. Maybe Lord Gareth wants a new statblock?

[Lord_Gareth]

I certainly wouldn't object. The last one didn't feel terribly accurate.

[Threadnaught]

Very fancy. Now I just have to actually finish that handbook, and justify my position as a deity of druids. The day shall come, this I swear. However, druid handbooks are really really long. Such is their nature.

Edit: 37,000 words now, by the by.

Haven't you been approached by anyone asking for advice about Druid builds?

I suggest that you look into ways to give a Druid a natural Flight Speed and Breath Weapon, or to get 3 (or more) Natural Attacks in their natural form, y'know so they can qualify for Feats that would be very useful to have in certain Wild Shape forms. :smallwink:
It'd certainly give you the chance to look a little deeper into the Druid's Tier 3 Class Ability.

[Kish]

Snow, don't forget I did Kish two pages back (mentioning for the OP)
And thank you.

The first two are pretty doable with dragonborn, and you could probably handle the third with shifter. Shifters are sweet. I dunno if flight based feats are strictly necessary though. You'd mostly be looking for hover, and you can get that for free off of any monster with good maneuverability. That's one of the many many reasons that desmodu hunting bats are awesome, cause they might actually be the only animal at small or medium with good maneuverability. Anyways, I've been spending most of my time on spell stuff, because that stretches on forever, and because it's one of the biggest inadequacies that I've found in existing handbooks. Seriously, the spell list got recycled across all of them, and you end up with stuff like three separate handbooks advising the use of dessicate because it deals 1d6/level, when it really deals 1d6/2 levels. Frigging weird.

[Porthos]

It's interesting. I hardly ever post in this section of the forum, so I have no idea if I have a 'rep' or not.

*sniff* It's beautiful :smallredface: Much appreciated.

I'm not sure I'd be a greater deity though - my few works (i.e. handbooks) tend to be on the smaller scale of the spectrum, not system-wide affairs like Urpriest's monster guide, and are perpetually undergoing renovation besides.

I'll be going now

*sniff* It's beautiful :smallredface: Much appreciated.

I'm not sure I'd be a greater deity though - my few works (i.e. handbooks) tend to be on the smaller scale of the spectrum, not system-wide affairs like Urpriest's monster guide, and are perpetually undergoing renovation besides.

...

I'll be going now

You have way more handbooks, though!

Anyway, my portrayal lacks a little thematic element (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/blasphemy.htm)...

[Aegis013]

Aegis013, could you get/link/quote the permission of the people you have done this for, I didn't see it when I skimmed through earlier. :smalltongue:

Certainly! In no particular order, for your convenience:


Permission granted; do your worst. :smallbiggrin:


Go ahead, feel free to stat me if you want.


Oops, I never actually gave permission did I? Uh yeah, go for it.
...snip.


I don't know if I qualify as a deity...maybe a demon prince. :smallamused: Feel free to hurl some stats in my general direction.


I hereby grant my permission. Though my avatar is already statted out in Complete Divine. :smallwink:

---------------


Anyway, my portrayal lacks a little thematic element (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/blasphemy.htm)...

What do you think would be a good way to incorporate that?

(Also, to explain how I decided your deity ranking, Psyren, I used part how well I recognize your name/expertise, part how many times I've seen your name used by other people [particularly in threads where you were not posting], and partly by your "X in the Playground" title, and I felt you qualified.)

[Werephilosopher]

Eh...to be frank I'm not terribly impressed.


I certainly wouldn't object. The last one didn't feel terribly accurate.

Yeah.... I'll admit I'm not the best at this sort of thing. Figured I'd give it a shot though. :smallsigh: I'm sure others can do much better.

[Sith_Happens]

The problem with that is, while it's possible in a hypothetical situation to kill, say, God-Emporer Tippy, you have to contend with the fact that it's Tippy you're dealing with, and that his portfolio sense means that he knows about your optimization attempt weeks before it happens.

...And I LOLed.


I really had a hard time deciding to leave out Red, I felt like any one of the three combinations of Red/Black/Blue could work to some degree.

Why not all three? Everyone loves Grixis.:smallcool:


*languishes in obscurity*
*leaves permission for stattitude while no one's looking*
*goes back to producing a steady stream of unremarkable posts in between much lurking*

[Saintheart]

...Well, hey, I wouldn't mind being a deity (if anyone thinks I'm regular enough to qualify :smallfrown:

[Thunderfist12]

Yoyoyoyoyo...

I know I've already posted something similar, but...

Can somebody please stat me? Pleeeeeease?

CN minor deity of absentminded comments, minor stat fixes, and community world-building, perhaps?

[ArlEammon]

Someone do meeee!!! :D
:smallcool:

[Gnome Alone]

I propose that someone stat up a swarm-god of all the folks eager to give permission to have themselves made into deities, but have preluded it with "no one knows me off the top of their head, but..." Good rule-of-thumb: if you oughtta be started up as a GITP Forum god, you probably shouldn't have to ask. Oh, and Oko and Qailee, I figure Kish is more more Lawful Good than Lawful Neutral; I mean, c'mon, read those Vorkosigan quotes. Of course I'm only saying this because I usually agree with Kish and The Giant and am therefore Rich Burlew as well.

[Morph Bark]

Throwing your name in the list Morph Bark? I ask because you're one of the few in here that I've seen around enough that I think I could have a decent enough handle to run with.

Indeed, Morph would be another decent poster to deify. All the Homebrew, and Compiled Lists.

Sure, go ahead. I'd be honoured!


I guess this might also be a good time to advertise new stuff I'm working on? :smallwink: I've always got links in my signature to current projects, and I haven't put the Tomb of Battle adventure module up yet. (Probably because it's not yet finished.) (Shut up.)

[Snowbluff]

Yeah, I am no where near good enough. :smalltongue:

Doing some updates again.

[Serpentine]

Apologies; I had just glazed over the thread and saw afro give permission, and didn't realize you claimed it.
The OP says nothing about people being able to exclusively "claim" people to be statted anyway :smallconfused:

I confess, I'm kind of surprised no one's still done me yet. Would've thought some peoe would have a thing or two to say about me. Then again, I've been slacking off lately. Maybe I should get on and make that Guide to DMPCs! :smalltongue:

[Ziegander]

What no God of Fighter Fixes? How many of them do I have to write for you ungrateful sons of bitches!? *shakesfist*

Ahem.

:smalltongue:

[Zombulian]

Sure, go ahead. I'd be honoured!

Wait... is it a Book of 9 Swords module... WITH UNDEAD?

[Sgt. Cookie]

I would like to see what my god-stats would be.

[Thunderfist12]

...

So am I not considered a regular here?

[BWR]

If I'm considered a regular...eh, why not?

[Malak'ai]

...

So am I not considered a regular here?

Give them time. It's a long and tedious process searching for member posts through Google... At least that's what I'm finding :smallbiggrin:.

[DMVerdandi]

Not sure If I am popular enough (mostly lurk but, meh)
I wanna see what is come up with though...:smallbiggrin:
Permission granted

[Arcanist]

Am I regular enough to be considered a regular? I mean school has been up my bum and kept me busy to the point where I rarely get to come to the playground these days...

Regardless, I give permission for myself to be deified although, I believe I would be more appropriate as a Vestige.

[Thunderfist12]

Give them time.

OK. I can do that.

[DMwithoutPC's]

Funnily enough the people I recognise most (Consisting of, but not limited to Snowbluff, Arcanist, thunderfist12 and Kellus) are not suggested as gods.:smallwink:

Sadly I don't think I know any of you well enough to deify you.

though I will give Kellus a shot.
Kellus
Intermediate God'
Alignment:Chaotic neutral
Portfolio: Perfection, the Unexpected, Bizarreness, Creation, Waiting
Domains: Craft, Creation, Madness

Kellus comes, drops a batch of awesome knowledge and disappears again for months without a trace, driving his followers mad with grant visions of glorious new things. Even though this god is only active very sporadically, he has a very committed band of followers. Although maybe only a small group keeps his Sacred Threads active, many pray in silence for his swift return. All of his followers know the virtue of patience, and that waiting long enough will eventually always pay off.

EDIT: never mind, Arcanist and Snowbluff actually are on the list... someone please cast Remove Blindness/Deafness on me

[Eldan]

Well, this should be interesting. Permissionated.

[ddude987]

What no God of Fighter Fixes? How many of them do I have to write for you ungrateful sons of bitches! *shakesfist*

Ahem.

:smalltongue:

I would say you're just the god of mundanes what with the complete making all mundanes t1 overhall you did.

On another note, I consider myself a regular (and perhaps having a large ego) so if anyone wants to stat me up, I do consider myself an immortal being who descended from the sentient race of cephalopod before something smashed into the Earth and created the moon :smallbiggrin:

[Menzath]

Oh Mighty gods of the playground, this humble one bows before your magnificence and tries to spread your glories to all in a far off realm called the real, where your divine might has trouble reaching.
But low your faithful servant shall not yield, your aid and blessings I need not, the stories I conjure as deftly as any with a high perform (oratory) fill all with your splendor.
If in ye gods almighty wisdom there are more tales I can weave, then I beseech thee place thy knowledge (the playground) at my finger tips!

Also, googling the site for names works. (https://www.google.com/search?q=giant+in+the+playground&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-aurora&channel=sb#channel=sb&q=+site:giantitp.com+giant+in+the+playground+snowb luff&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aunofficial)

I was both proud to see how active I've been in the short time I've been here.
And saddened to see how insignificant my numbers were compared to some of the bigger names hereabouts.

Still pretty cool though.

[Metahuman1]

Just a random pop in, has anyone hit up Lix Lorn, Aotrs Commander, Jade Dragon and Emperor Tippy yet?

They should totally be stated out if there willing.

[Astral Avenger]

Same (Lurkers unite, ok, everyone here? :smallconfused:)
If someone wants to stat me up, feel free, I'll try and stat some people up this weekend if i recognize any users that have given permission and not be statted.

[Snowbluff]

I think someone did Tippy. Feel free to stat anyone up if they gave permission. The front page has everyone I saw give permission, as well as most of the stat blocks.

[ShneekeyTheLost]

Should any wish to stat me up, you have my permission. Although I haven't been around much lately, so perhaps my infamy has faded into obscurity by now.

[Amphetryon]

God of Samurai, perhaps?

[ShneekeyTheLost]

God of Samurai, perhaps?

Or of the forgotten things, the leftovers, the ones that had previously been cast aside.

Or perhaps the perverse, the one who always takes the path less traveled by, the one who comes up with the 'outside of the box' lateral thinking to produce results from things and places no one had previously suspected...

Or, yanno... just bat-boop crazy. That works too.

Sounds like you are talking about yourself, bro. I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YOU! You have so much to live for! :smallfrown:


:smalltongue:

[ShadowFireLance]

I feel bad that no one likes me..
I mean, I'm an Optimized Over-Dragon, it should be simple! :smalltongue:

Well, I was one of those hunters. It wasn't pleasant. :smalltongue:

[Porthos]

You missed at least one. :smalltongue: :smallwink:

It's interesting. I hardly ever post in this section of the forum, so I have no idea if I have a 'rep' or not.

*thinks*

*thinks*

Ah, what the hell. 6500+ posts ought to leave a little bit of an impression. :smalltongue:

Permission granted.

[Ziegander]

I would say you're just the god of mundanes what with the complete making all mundanes t1 overhall you did.

Well, not that God of Mundane would not also fit, that defunct project was FAR from complete and definitely did a piss poor job of making the mundanes Tier 1. It was on the right path, sure, but I didn't design even half the number of powers needed to get there. Just saying.

[Xervous]

lets keep this on topic, has anyone asked Tippy yet?

[Eldariel]

lets keep this on topic, has anyone asked Tippy yet?

Yes, and he has given his permission at least twice in this very thread. I suggest not asking bombarding him with repeated questions lest you summon his ire. :smalltongue:

[DMwithoutPC's]

second god-try

Thunderfist12
Lesser diety
Alignment: CN (?)
Portfolio: Worlds, enthousiasm, the worldbuilding thread,constructive criticism
Domains: Community, Earth, Creation, Passion
Thunderfist12 has created his divine realm in the World building thread, and has form there contributed to building a myriad of worlds. Not only has he created one or two worlds completely on his own, he also often encourages other world builders into new peaks of creativity. And if he's not busy creating world, alone or in a grand community, he always finds time to hand out constructive criticism to other creators of worlds.


Why Thunderfist is statted like this.
I made him a lesser deity because he hasn't been around for that long, and doesn't do that much outside of his portfolio.

Alignment: I choose for Chaotic Neutral because his preferred form of world building appears to be Community World building, which often is very chaotic. I don't know him well enough too stat you up on the Good/Evil scale.

Portfolio: He seems to be in EVERY thread on the world building forum, and a quarter of them are started by him. :smalltongue: making him the god of the World building thread seemed obvious. You also always seem enthusiastic about a new world or a new idea, so I gave you enthusiasm. And constructive criticism should be obvious as well

Domains: Community: as I said before you seem to like community world building threads, and you keep in touch with what other people create in the world building thread as well.
Earth: this has to symbolise all the worlds/planets/lands you have created
Creation: ... you create a lot of world... evident as well.
Passion: Passion domain because you are so enthusiastic about your own worlds and those of other people
.

EDIT: I want to do ForrestFire next, but I can't find any threads on google, because I keep getting people talking about forrest fires on this forum. :smallwink: It might take a while.

[Morph Bark]

That reminds me of COMMONER (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=156931), somehow.

[Eldan]

Well, Morph is certainly a god of lists, planning, organization and big projects. For domains, I'd say Knowledge, Balance, Competition, Endurance, Planning. Quite popular with a certain kind of cloistered cleric, I'd assume. You also mentioned your favoured weapon being the unarmed strike, IIRC. Alignment I hvae no idea, I'll leave that to someone else.

[Socratov]

Go ahead :smallamused:

Bu tthat's not all, I come bearing ancient knowledge rolled with my Knowledge(Religion) roll (rolled a 70! whoohoo!)

Snowbluff
CG minor Deity
Portfolio: Warlocks, legacies of Thiago Martell, thread derailment.
Domains: Arcane, History, Chaos

Snowbluff is one of the newer ascended deities. Snowbluff gained renown after derailing a couple of threads and finally ascended after zombiefying the Warlock Handbook after it's original poster had fallen to Roland St. Jude, the greater deity in the pantheon. Apart from the warlock handbook, Snowbluff has been engaged and taking part in any of Thiago Martell's portfolio gaining him the legacies of Thiago Martell in his portfolio.

[Somensjev]

pretty sure i'm not a regular, but if someone wants to make one of me i give permission :smalltongue:

although, i dont expect one

[Snowbluff]

Either way, you're on the list now. :smallsmile:

Awesome, that's me, alignment and all. Yep.

The one thing I don't understand is the Earth domain. Also, Chaos should probably be on there (with me being CN).

:biggrin:

[Temotei]

Heeeeyyyy, this is fun. I'm open to being deified if anyone knows me.
