Setting Design Naming the Gods

[Vknight]

So i got a lot of pantheons and more within my setting that i am creating/writing up and one of the hardest bits that i have been having has been naming the deities and more so i've turned to the playground for ideas, assistance and more for naming along with suggestions for more things in there portfolio etc, and so forth.

I'm debating Sacred Colours & Animals
I'm also looking for thoughts and suggestions upon all sorts of Symbols for the various deities
Also i need to give some gods aspects and/or different ways to be worshiped that shift the alignment focus.

I've also not come up with names

So here they are by 'Pantheon'

[the_david]

I'm a bit confused here, so I'm going to ask you a couple of questions.

1: What system are you using? I know, it's 1st edition Pathfinder. The problem is that I had to look at the alignments and domains, realize the domains were in fact domains and subdomains because you didn't label them as such, and then verify that they were indeed domains and subdomains to know that you are using Pathfinder.
So, your presentation isn't too great. You can fix that later, it's not that important now.

2: Why does the god of beasts have only one domain and 3 subdomains? A cleric can't choose different versions of the same domain, so he should have at least one more domain, unless you're using houserules.
Gods in Pathfinder have 5 domains, including the domains of their alignment. (Simply said, a good god can't be good if it doesn't have the good domain. Or, if a god is good they automatically get the good domain.)

3: Have you thought about other divine gifts? Oracle mysteries, inquisitor inquisitions, variant channeling? The other divine classes would also like to know which god they should worship.

4: Why? No, seriously. Why? This is not a pantheon. These aren't gods. They're just a bunch of words that make very little sense together. The portfolios are a bare minimum of what's needed. There's no mythology, no history, no dogmas, no meaning of life. This is just a long list of tropes that have no better reason to exist than: "I guess we need a god of agriculture too." Even if you'd give them the best names ever, no player would be interested in your pantheon. It's bland.
Compare this to Cayden Cailean who gained divinity by doing the test of the Starstone while he was drunk. There's nothing interesting about your deities.

Sorry kid, it had to be said. I don't think you're really ready for homebrew, but if you really want to do it, there's a lazy DM's trick that Gary Gygax used before people started pestering him to write a Deities & Demigods.

Ask your players: Who does your character worship? Yes, I know. It's really that simple. You don't need to put in all that work! And for the evil deities? It really doesn't matter! You can just pull one out of your arse whenever you need it. You don't need every little detail of your setting. Just make it up as you go along.

1 : The basic system is 1e Pathfinder but i want the gods and setting to be universal for just general use as well


2 : Setting Logic a gods power is made up of mantles. Each thing they are a god of is one of there mantles and there can be multiple interpretations of the same mantle.
Meaning some of the gods can be worshiped as different alignments also why multiples of the same domains etc. because its a different version of that mantle

3 : Answer yes i have why are you bringing it up

4 : I have about 90 pages of mythology that is not being posted because that is not what I need. I need to figure out names based on the bare minimum so i provided the bare minimum to get some thoughts and ideas based on those qualities.

5 : ...That statement was neither helpful nor needed. And i'm well aware i could pull one out whenever, and make it up as i go along.

@Vknight:
For Alternate Alignment interptations, I believe that Eberron has some possible information that you could use.

Personally, the idea that a Deity is both Good and Evil is counter productive to my games.
Seems to me that in 5e, Alignment is little more than something written on the PC sheet, and unless the DM is using/enforcing Ideals (which I do), it is ignored.

In 3x D&D, Clerics and worshipers could be one step from the Deity's Alignment.
LG to NG, ect. Do you really need more than that?

Why would you want Factions of the same Deity/Church to be in conflict? Instead of being United (even if not always in agreement) against their Deity's foes?

I'm not very good at Naming People/Places/Things, but I'll read over your list and see what I can think of for variations.

Its not full on good and Evil. A gods mantles can be worshiped in 1 step removed.
Its why the god of giants has 4 major alternate ways of being worshiped.

If you worship him directly he's True Neutral and you must be 1 step from that.
But if you are worshiping him in the forge father aspect he counts as a Lawful Neutral
Its mostly a lore thing for why an evil god can be worshiped by good people because they are worshiping the good or neutral aspects of said deity

And making them in conflict adds fun schisms and ways for new gods to pop up but yeah its part of how the way a god is made.

It gets into complicated metaphysics but

If you are the best at war you can develop a war mantle it won't mean you become a war god, unless you die first.

And if your a demi-god you already have a bit of a mantle based on your parent, why the goblin deity has war because she is the daughter of the head of the orc pantheon so though she is a love good she has a war mantle.
