My first post

Hi everyone; this is an effort to "update" the powers of the Realms with the many, many new domains from the various splatbooks and even Dragon magazine. I've also taken the time to edit some of the canon deity domains to better represent them (in my opinion, at least).

I'm not going to use any sort of limit when assigning domains; a demipower with many tiny portfolios is going to have more domains than a greater deity with only one specific area of influence.

So please, tell me what you think.

Then again, that only matters if your list is specific to the post-Spellplague era. As far as I'm concerned, the "dead" deities live on!



Oh, all right, I see. I'm not too fond of the changes 4e made with the gods myself (I preferred Lathander to Amaunataur), but I was just wondering.
I never used the 4e realms, and I still run 3.5e. Amaunator is dead and gone, Mask and Deneir are alive and well.

I'll post the non-human, Mulhorandi and Untheric Pantheons soon.

The domains in Complete Divine were updated in Spell Compendium.
rjfras Posted - 30 Dec 2012 : 00:35:53
Did you assign the domains out of Complete Divine to their Realms equivalent?

MisterX Posted - 29 Dec 2012 : 23:53:46
I'm sorry. Should read more carefully…
LordofBones Posted - 29 Dec 2012 : 16:31:30
I never touched Selvetarm's Spider domain.
MisterX Posted - 29 Dec 2012 : 15:22:34
Why was the Domain of Spiders, which was assigned at least in 3.5, removed from Selvetarm?
The Sage Posted - 28 Dec 2012 : 22:13:07
Lord of Bones noted the source above in his opening post. The Beguilement Domain was detailed in DRAGON #312.
Zireael Posted - 28 Dec 2012 : 17:37:39
What sourcebook is Beguilement domain in?

The worry I would have would be how many of these domains offer free feats or class abilities? I'd have to take a heavier look at that, otherwise you'll have people cherry picking a deity in order to say break the rules for a prestige class somehow, or get a feat much easier than they would some other way. My first thought was to make sure that noone had both the planning and undeath domains, as that would open up extend spell and extra turning for free (which when combined with persistent spell and divine metamagic and easy metamagic <dragon #325> can make for some interesting results... not necessarily rules breaking mind you... but there may be some feat/domain combos that are).
Zireael Posted - 27 Dec 2012 : 15:55:10
This is brilliant!
LordofBones Posted - 26 Dec 2012 : 15:55:29
Just to note; if anyone has the Complete Book of Eldritch Might by Monte Cook, feel free to give Milil the Music domain.
MalariaMoon Posted - 25 Dec 2012 : 14:31:53
Neat!
