Stat up deities of GitP regulars! (Deity makers requested!)

[Milo v3]

I am amazingly curious about how someone would stat me up.

Hmm... Wonder if I could get Hoody C17's permission....

A giant thread that's just all the "regular" members patting each other on the back, and affirmation for people who wonder if they are considered one? What is this, the Flood forum (I'm... I'm the only one that gets that reference...)?

Sounds like fun.

I am not sure the phrase that was removed was exactly forum appropriate. . .

[Squirrel_Dude]

I am not sure the phrase '[word redacted]' is exactly forum appropriate. . .

It's probably not. I'll change it in a sec. More appropriate language, but I still think the sentiment was better conveyed previously.

Meh.

[Ravens_cry]

It's probably not. I'll change it in a sec. More appropriate language, but I still think the sentiment was better conveyed previously.

Meh.

It probably was, but given the meaning and origin. . .
I have also edited the quote with your changed version.

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."

So, optimized builds?

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.

[137beth]

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
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!
You're all fun

[Illven]

If people know of me, I give permission to stat me.

[JaronK]

I want Kish, Tippy, and JaronK statted more than anyone else.

I might ask them tomorrow via PM or something

I'm going to regret this I'm sure, but go for it.

[Malak'ai]

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.

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.

[nedz]

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.

Actually we could have a, oh I don't know, Platinum Chef Challenge; where instead of statting up deities we create 20 level builds.

[Snowbluff]

I'm pretty sure I've already done this informally. Sounds like fun to have a contest.

JaronK
Chaotic Neutral Minor Deity of Tiers
Portfolio: tiers, circular arguments
Domains: Chaos, Planning

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...

Well done. You even got my alignment right.

Milo v3
Neutral Good Minor Deity of Refluffing
Portfolio: refluffing, creativity
Domains: Good, Creation
Milo ascended to godhood by changing minor aspects of reality. He likes to change how something looks and interacts with the world in the most basic sense, however keeping its base structure unchanged.

snip for length

...dat hat.

[Oko and Qailee]

I'm going to regret this I'm sure, but go for it.

JaronK

Since I've been requested, go ahead.

Yay!


Honestly, when I think of "the regulars/gods of gitp" you are 2/3 of the people I think of first. I'll try to make it good since I wouldn't want to disappoint.

Gimme a bit. I'm prob gonna start with Kish

[Dusk Eclipse]

Eh why not, I am very curious how would someone stat me, so go ahead I'll wait.

[Fax Celestis]

...dat hat.

Indeed. I put it on every Krong altar twice. It uh...ended up being a significant amount of my statistics in the end game.

Also I put it in my mod.

[Zombulian]

you have permission to state me! I would perfer something in evangelist :P

I'd like to claim this one for later. Have to get through school before I can start.

I like this thread. It's fun and introducing me to apparently large presences itp that I've never really seen before.

[IronFist]

Ew LN

I shudder to think...

Do you give permission to stat you, Serps?

[Fax Celestis]

Do you give permission to stat you, Serps?

[inserts stat block for Malcanthet]

Done.
