    What Forgotten Realms God do you follow in your gaming and maybe in real life? Have you ever performed any rituals in the name of a certain diety? I follow the godess Tymora(in real life) but I just stick to praying from time to time(ussuasly in times of crisiss). ;) If you want a list of FR dieties try this: Forgotten Realms Gods.

    I don't follow any gods in real life (certainly not FR gods)
    In D&D I usually follow Mielikki.

    In life: God, Christ, Jahwe, The Lord, The Holy Spirit etc. No saints or other beings created by God.

    D&D: Lathander as main deity. Others: Chauntea, Ilmater, Mielikki, Sune, Kord, some other good aligned deities. No racial pantheons, usually.

    Torm, Helm or Moradin if I'm being a 'nice guy/dwarf' - if not I'm usually following Mask.

    Real life? Agnostic.

    Following a Forgotten Realms deity in real life means someone really should see a doctor. Such a person has what it takes to make something up, call it a name and start praying to it one day.

    In games, in D&D it depends on how deities are represented - if one's choosing one deity out of the whole pantheon to worship, or if it's a patron deity that's simply more related. The alignment is either LG or NG, at any rate. Out of the NG ones, Lathander would make it the most easily.

    Edit: Hehe, it seems I was thinking about something else when posting. Obviously, the second paragraph should have, and now does, start with something like "in games" or "in D&D". Thanks for pointing that out to me.

    In FR/games: Differs; Llolth, Talos, Tempus, Helm, Baphomet, the list goes on...

    Real life: Satan, and related evil powers. :evil:

    Does the Lady of Pain count as an FR deity?

    If yes, then it's her in both gaming AND real life :D

    Chevalier, there's an odd complementarity between what you say in the first paragraph and the second :p

    [​IMG] I guess you people really make a lot of difference between games and real life :confused: ... I don't! :thumb:

    Well anyhows, if I were to try and differenciate games from RL i would get to the conclusion that I couldn't because in games I do as I would do in RL. So this beeing said, it's time for me to tell you about my FR beliefs in detail (not too much detail):

    My patron Godess is Tymora (Good Fortune, Skill, Victory, Adventurers, Adventuring).

    My Secondary Gods are: Kossuth :flaming: (Elemental Fire, Fire Elementalists, Purification through Fire), Silvanus (Wild Nature, Druids) Selune :book: (Moon, Stars, Navigation, Navigators, Wanderers, Seekers, Good and Neutral Lycanthropes) and Mask :evil: (Thieves, Thievery, Shadows).

    My Minor Gods are: Shar (Dark, Night, Loss, Forgetfulness, Unrevealed Secrets, Caverns, Dungeons, The Underdark), Gond (Artifice, Craft, Construction, Smithwork), Mielikki (Forest, Forest Creatures, Rangers, Dryads, Autumn), Auril (Cold, Winter), Deneir (Glyphs, Images, Literature, Literacy, Scribes, Pictorial and Literary Art, Cartography), Eldath :hippy: (Quiet Places, Springs, Pools, Stillness, Peace, Waterfalls, Druid Groves), Lliira (Joy, Happiness, Dance, Festivals, Carefree Celebration, Contentment, Release, Hospitality Freedom/Liberty; From Waukeen - Trade, Money:$$$:, Wealth) and Shaundakul (Travel, Exploration, Long Range traders, Miners, Caravans, Wind Ghosts).

    I mourn the death of: Bhaal :wail: , Ibrundul and Waukeen.

    PS: I think this one would be useful as well, considering the fact that it's a lot more complete than the one on Daggerford: The Pantheon of the Realms Ow yes, and it's one of "ours" as well.

    "Page can't be found" I'm going to try the link in Kelvon's post...

    EDIT: Shoot, the one one SP is just a list and not a quize type thing, so I'll just list the ones that best fit me.

    Greater Power: Mystra
    Intermediate Power: Gond and Tymora
    Lesser Power: Azuth

    Also, does anyone know if there is a website out there that tells the story of how each of the dead gods died? :rolling:
