    Default Need Deity Assistance

    I'm looking for a god or goddess for the dwarves in a game that I am throwing together.
    They usually keep to themselves more so than usual in this world and have to do business with a theocratic government. Don't know if that helps much.
    Official and homebrew welcome.

    Stabbity McAxeforface,
    Alignment: evil, chaotic
    Domains: fear, chaos, destruction
    Portfolio: fear: death, destruction, stabbing, headbunting
    Weapon: Mithral helmet shaped like an axe, used for head bunt smite attempts.
    Granted power: fear as a spell like ability, 3/day. unarmed strike (head bunt only) as a bonus feat at 1st level.
    Gender: male

    Heally McNiceNice
    Aligment: lawful good
    Domains: good, healing, protection
    Portfolio: healing, being nice, making nice
    Weapon: Heally McNiceNice doesn’t believe in using weapons
    Granted power: healing spells are treated as being +1 caster level. charm person as a spell like ability 3/day
    Gender: female

    Apathy Von Doesn’tcare
    Alignment: true neutral
    Domains: good, evil
    Portfolio: apathy, neutrality, not giving a damn, indecisiveness
    Weapon: any 1 weapon, Apathy doesn’t care enough to pick one
    Granted power: Priests of Apathy receive 1 XP/level every hour they spend doing nothing at all.
    Gender: doesn’t care.
    Note: Apathy doesn’t care enough to choose a gender, which has caused a rift in the church of Apathy. One faction believes apathy to be male, another side female but the third side (and the true side) doesn’t care.


    that should be sufficient for your needs.

    If they're still lawful good just use Moradin, he's fine as-is.

    What world? Greyhawk? General Faerün? Planescape (unlikely tho:P)? Dark Sun? Eberron? Underdark? Garweeze?

    Planescape isn't a word. It also shares forgotten realms gods in many cases.

    I always prefered Grungni myself. Just for the name. Moradin sounds dull in comparison.

    Dumathoin absolutely.

    I've always seen him as the most dwarvish deity of the dwaven pantheon.

    As long as your dwarves are lawful good use Moradin. Just change a couple things about his doctrince, give him a nice new name, and behold! A diety that looks like it took originality to invent but actually didn't.

    Does this qualify as irony? Great stuff. Well, it made me chuckle, as it took me several moments to work out what was meant...
    It is a joyful thing indeed to hold intimate converse with a man after one’s own heart, chatting without reserve about things of interest or the fleeting topics of the world; but such, alas, are few and far between.

    Unless you are playing a cleric, I wouldn't worry about it. I have had a heck of a time looking for a good Forgotten Realms deity for a Chaotic Good barbarian, but they all tended to be fruity women or elves.
