Click here for the spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1g7eqfWiBG63Y6OulrIfD0Glo5ugoviAM5PUUGN60Hto/edit?usp=sharing)

Alternatively, view it as a webpage (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTqo16E_7z1S6o1PAL74PkJXVk88KKtb5_g43SPXpc7Zf7AKd BA8tZT4cFqD5lpzHIrErnEsCdIM5es/pubhtml).

The initial data for this project came from IMarvinTPA's deity search tool (http://www.imarvintpa.com/dndlive/FindDeity.php). I noticed that it was incomplete, and decided to expand it (but I don't know how to do cool searchable databases, so I copied it into a spreadsheet and went from there). I've added all the deities I could find that were missing. I also added sources and portfolio information, as well as classifying deities by their pantheons and the settings they appear in (or lack thereof).

It's actually not entirely complete, but I think it's pretty close! At least close enough for me to feel comfortable turning it loose and crowdsourcing any further revisions, anyway. :smallwink:

You can right-click at the top of a column to sort it by that value. You can also click the filter button (https://imgur.com/a/VnzBKkF) to filter the sheet or use a preset filter view.

Excellent resource--thank you very much! I won't be using this right away, but this absolutely will be something to put in the back pocket.

This is definitely something I need when making my clerics. For the life of me, I can't seem to find a list of deities on the SRD! :smallmad:

Grants both inspiration & talent to those who serve her.



** The Music Domain is a new domain that was introduced in that book.

That's because they're not part of the OGL. Wizards didn't want to give up the trademark rights.

This is potentially useful to me. Anyways a trial finding the right deity for a character.

Very cool, good job putting this together. :)

I made a thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?570679-Good-Neutral-gods-with-the-Darkness-domain) recently asking about Good or Neutral gods with the Darkness domain. I'm not sure about which sources you're specifically adding from but I scanned your spreadsheet and only found one with the Darkness domain that wasn't Evil; Ibrandul. The thread I linked mentioned a few more, in case you're looking to add them.

Could you please tell us what additions were made wrt the imarvintpa list? I always assumed it to be comprehensive.

I'd need sources. All of them are either on the list already and didn't have that domain in the source I looked at, or are from a previous edition.

This is a great example of why I thought the portfolios would be a useful addition, incidentally!

Most of the stuff I copied directly from there ended up with hyperlinks because I also copied the formatting and didn't bother removing them. So, if there's no hyperlink, it's probably my addition. Well, either that or I changed the name (usually for alphabetization purposes, e.g. from "The Fury" to "Fury, The") and the hyperlink went away in the process.

Nice resource.

I have an Excel sheet full of deities somewhere; I'll check that against this list and see if I can add anything.
