Porcelain
Greater Deity (Neutral)



Though few recognize the fact, almost all peoples give reverence in some way or another to the great god Porcelain. When they feel ill, when bodily needs must be met, it is Porcelain who they kneel before. Even the most pious follower of the other deities will give offering numerous times a day.

Porcelain appears as a great white being of smooth, glowing stone. He most often takes the odd shape of a mounted bowl, his lips raised in song.

Porcelain's favorite weapon is the plunger. His symbol is of sparkling water twirling down a dark hole set onto a tiled background.

Portfolio: Refuse, secretions, purification

Domains: City, Commode (see below), Gluttony, Water

Cleric Training: The training of clerics is normally done by other holy men who partake of blessed spirits until they feel the call of Porcelain. A call so strong that the truly dedicated will rush to him and deposit their offering within the holy bowl.

Quests: Clerics of Porcelain tend not to travel extensively, but when they do they seek to convert the disbelievers and heretics, particularly those that instead give their devotions and offerings to Tree, or even Wall.
Those that will not convert in spite of all wisdom will be shown the true holiness of Porcelain. The infidel will be held within so that the swirling waters may cool his brow and fill his ears until he hears the calling.

Prayers: Communion with Porcelain usually takes place about the shrine and are usually lowly muttered and simple. "Oh please, oh please, come on!" or even a groaning of 'Oh god...' are standard and well respected prayers. Fervent followers in the throes of worship may even begin to speak in high pitched whines and gurgles.

Temples: Temples of Porcelain are located most often in cities and towns, though most homes anywhere have at least one small temple. Public temples are usually tiled and usually contain numerous private shrines for individual devotions. Here they may sit in meditation, reading the holy texts. One can easily detect the particularly devout as the bowl it runneths over with their offerings.

Rites: The rites of Porcelain often include great feasts of food and strong drink, with holy legumes served in plenty. One is encouraged to imbibe as much as one can so that their offerings to Porcelain will be of great abundance.

5. Cloudkill

That is AWESOME

[TheLogman]

Clever, interesting, and even kind of cool, but still, ewwwwwwwwwwwww. However, I myself have been found on my knees before the great Porcelain, dreading what is coming, and hoping for mercy.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

*Claps* BRAVO! BRAVO!

Thank you, thank you...

[Icewalker]

AAAAOOOOH GOD.

That is a very nice balance of awesome and disturbing.

[Moff Chumley]

AAAAOOOOH GOD.

That is a very nice balance of awesome and disturbing.

I second this.

[bosssmiley]

Bwah-hah-hah! You utter mentalist! This is fantastic.

7. Prismatic Spray

Eugh!

I am looking forward to hearing more about Porcelain's prophet and great proselytiser, the blessed St. Armitage Shanks.

[Toric]

Well, I just found my diety for that half-orc cleric I had swimming in my head. :) I'm curious, though, why Wish as the 9th level domain spell for Commode?

[Draken]

"PLEASE... AUUUGHH PLEASE COME ON!"

*splorch*

"Ahhhh... Better."

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

Does this answer your question?

[Vhaidara]

I concur with my fellow Townie Draken. This is extremely disgusting, and yet it has a certain degree of awesome.

Bwah-hah-hah! I am looking forward to hearing more about Porcelain's prophet and great proselytiser, the blessed St. Armitage Shanks.

Nah, it'd be the blessed St. Crapper.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Nah, it'd be the blessed St. Crapper.

Amen, my brutha!


Btw, for some reason these slightly paraphrased lyrics from one of Simon and Garfunkle's songs came to mind...

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the restroom walls
And tenement halls.
And whispered in the sounds of silence...

[Morty]

This is in equal parts awesome and weird. But why Prismatic Spray as domain spell?
You know, in my next campaign I wanted to play a cleric of Helm. But now I just wonder how to justify Porcelain appearing in FR pantheon.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

This is in equal parts awesome and weird. But why Prismatic Spray as domain spell?

Spray

1. water or other liquid broken up into minute droplets and blown, ejected into, or falling through the air.

2. a liquid to be discharged or applied in such a jet.
