    Default My draft for a Divine Roster

    I've been lucky to have a group og players where noone chose Cleric as their class. That has given me some time to figure out who the gods are in my Post-Great-Divine-War-against-Dendar-Desert-Campaign.

    General Questions: How much work do you put into your gods? How do you introduce them to your players?
    Personally this is my first time not just using a premade setting's pantheon and I've just started this process so I don't know how much work I'll do on them beyond this.
    I do intend to introduce the most common known below (First 7) and then from there it is a question if the characters are interested and fall over idols or shrines to the less common. They have visited a shrine (alehouse) to Cayden.

    Question; Obvious holes: After maken the below draft I returned to the Golarion gods and paused at Gozrem (God of War). Does a world need a god of War? What about Paladins (Iomedae)? Do you see a kind of god I am clearly missing?

    The Table: Name, Alignment, Common Knowledge, Power level
    Myr LG Charity, lineage, and physical perfection 1 Minor
    Shelyn NG Art, beauty, love, and music 1 Minor
    Abadar LN Cities, Merchants, Wealth 1 Major
    Desna CG Dreams, luck, stars, travelers 1 Major
    Jaidi NG Agriculture, hard work, selfsufficiency 1 Major
    Pharasma N Birth, death, fate, and prophecy 1 Major
    Set NE Darkness, Deserts, Murder and Storms 1 Major
    Achaekek LE Monsters, Murder, Fickle Directions 2 Minor
    Sarrukh LN Poetic Justice, Retribution, Revenge, Thunder 2 Minor
    Sobek CN Crocodiles, Fertility, Military Prowess and Rivers 2 Minor
    Amaznen LN Invention, magic, secret knowledge 2 Demi
    Anubis LN Burial, The dead, Funeral Rites, mummification and tombs 2 Demi
    Bastet CN Cats, Pleasure and Secrets 2 Demi
    Cayden CG Freedom, Ale, Wine, Bravery 2 Demi
    Isis NG Fertility, Magic, Motherhood and rebirth 2 Demi
    Zura CE Blood, cannibalism and vampires 3 Quasi
    Green Mother NE Carnivorous plants, intrigue, and seduction 3 Minor
    Zon-Kuthon LE Envy, Pain, Darkness, Loss 3 Minor
    Ptah N Architecture, craftsmanship, creation and metalworking 3 Demi
    Ulon NE Conspiracy, isolation, and manipulation 3 Demi
    Maat LN Justice, Order, Law and Truth 3 Dead
    Irori LN History, Knowledge, Self-perfection 3 Dead
    Azathoth CN Entropy, madness, and mindless destruction 4 Major
    Dendar NE Amnesia, Nightmares 5 Major

    Campaign info:
    • The gods are the same for the different races. No elf-patheon etc. All the Core races are present with much fewer half-orcs than standard (The Orcs keep to the Darklands and such not many half-orcs are made)
    • I've tried to mix general desert themes from Arabian and Egyptian settings and turned the heat up. Dreams are a big deal (As is the Plane of Dreams later on hopefully). As I've made the above list some connections between the deities become more apparent. Dendar (god of nightmares and eater og gods and land) suddenly have an obvious counterpart: Desna.
