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

[IronFist]

Why isn't pitchford on the list? We all know his portfolio; Fighters, tier lists, mounted combat, 1000 feet perfect snipes from a fighter on a mount against something higher on the tier list.

And the bullying spreads like cancer.

And the bullying spreads like cancer.

I disagree with the inflammatory language, but can somewhat appreciate the sentiment.

Now now, let's not taint this thread with pettiness and keep it fun and stay away from cynicism.

Remember folks, deities are fun! Sign up at your local pantheon's temple today!

[Keneth]

This thread amuses me on many levels.

Ditto. I will make no further mention of certain trends I have been noticing with certain, unnamed characters that I would like to stop.

This thread has really exploded. Someone posted, like, 5 at once. I have a lot of catching up to do.

This thread amuses me on many levels.

Excellent! >:D

[Illven]

I gave permission, and wasn't put on the first post.

[Iamyourking]

I've been here for a very long time, so I must have developed some kind of reputation. Permission granted.

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.

[Ravens_cry]

Actually, that's an underscore. If you want a hyphen, I'd be happy to change it again.

No, underscore is sufficient.

[Lord_Gareth]

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.

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

[Snowbluff]

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.

[Dusk Eclipse]

Hey Snowbluff, my name doesn't have an underscored, do you mind amending that?

[Ortesk]

I'll sign up to be a paladin/cleric for a deity :D

Also has ryu gave permission to be statted out

[Snowbluff]

I don't think we're doing that. Was it nedz who suggest we make characters of people? You could start a thread for it because...

Hey Snowbluff, my name doesn't have an underscored, do you mind amending that?

... my hands are really full keeping the first post properly updated. I'll get right on it, sunbro.

[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.
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.

[eggynack]

A couple of times, but not infinitely.

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.

*thinks*

*thinks*

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

Permission granted.

[Psyren]

Psyren

Spoiler

Show

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.

Anyone who I did feel free to give feedback. (You guys have my permission, but I doubt anybody would be interested in doing me)

*sniff* It's beautiful 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...

[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.

Certainly! In no particular order, for your convenience:

Permission granted; do your worst.

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. 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.

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

Anyway, my portrayal lacks a little thematic element...

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. 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.


*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

[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

[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.
