i think Cyric on the evil side is just coolest the books abut him where so cool and malik is just the perfect seraph for Cyric.
On the god side i must say Tyr he is a straight forward dud who is honest and activ |

Hot off the press, I would have to say that Kelemvor is my favourite deity. The reasons for this don't lie directly with me, just my Dungeons and Dragons characters usually hold the type of personality to have such a deity (aside from the fact that I am ALWAYS a cleric character whenever I can be).
Otherwise, my personal favourite is either one of the Triad or Kelemvor. (for those non-priest followers, the Triad is the allegance between TYR, TORM and ILMATER) This is mostly because of my kind nature and vigilant position which leaves a lot of common ground between my beliefs and those of the Portfolio of those deities.
On top of that, without mentioning my character, I find the spells which are granted by those gods to be particularly interesting. Especially the Dead March spell which Kelemvorite priests can have if they choose the speciality class.
There you go, finished  |

IF Cyric wished he could crush Mystra so could Tyr and Bane. You kind of make Mystra the most powerful god in all of the realms, and magical veapens would harm would it not ?? And Ao would of course intervind if she would rouin the balance i think. And this is getting a bit of topic so we should stopp, son any way. |

Remember that she is also a Greater Power along with those that you listed. As for Ao allowing her to with hold the weave from any god, remember also that he did not interfer when Mystra with held the weave from Cyric. Now as for her with holding it from other gods, again that was just hypothetical on my part in a what if situation. Mystra would defenately have to change her alignment to do that. As for any single god killing her that is not possible. Maybe if many banded together maybe. Remember spells do not affect her unless she wants them to. (According to Faiths and Avatars that is, but I do not have it on hand to point it out exactly so maybe if one of our esteemed scribes could find it!) Why she would want to be hurt by a spell is beyond me but that is her decision. So the only way to kill her is by physical attacks that are non magical in nature. But I do believe that in her full power (not as an avatar) she can defeat any number of gods.
She has access to all spells to include those higher than 9th level. How could she not be more powerful then the other gods? I do however admit that Tyr and Bane are powerful gods and Cyric to a degree but over all Mystra is my favorite god.

Bh Mystra, Ao would not alowd her to block the weave to any god.
And of course i wasent talking bad abut Tyr he is okey
OH,okay,I'm glad you can understand what he was saying.Anyone with a translator for Cyric priest to english?
I recent that comment some of us havent got english as first language. And if she would turn evil the other and turn vs the others gods they would simpley kill her she is not the most powerful god i would say that on the evil side that would be bane and cyric and on the god side tyr( he is more powerful then mystra) and lathander and mystra

Like I said I think that she holds power over the other Dieties by being able to with hold their access to the weave. She did this to Cyric and I think that IF she wanted to she could do this to the rest of the pantheon. Now if she was to turn evil and decide to do this could you imagine the possibilities. Perhaps the rest of the world might turn to her in worship making her even more powerful. Now this is only conjecture and speculation on my part but the possibilities that she holds. |

No, I realize that. It was Cyric's remarks on activity and worshipers that caused me to say that. I was just remarking that it's personal preference for the gods themselves, and not how much aid I can get from their clergy, that guides my decisions. |

Arivia,That is how it should be!!!
Though I don't know if Cyric was speaking well or evil of my Favorite, Tyr.I'm still going to pick on him (for fun)even though I like him. |

True I carry a strong bias against the Lady of Mysteries, I am willing to put it aside in an effort to understand. I mean people can be wrong about the Deities from time to time... Look at Lolth.. she not really evil...just lonely and acting out for attention... Tis true I swear! |

Though I am sure this may cause a few heads to turn in my direction, but I say that Mystra is the most cool. She has the power to prevent any God the use of the Weave. Maybe even Ao (since not much is known about him, this is only an asumtion on my part). She has denied the weave to Cyric and I am sure that if she could do that to a Greater Power then she can to all the powers. This puts her in a higher position of power over the other gods.
I also like the other Gods of Magic, but Mystra tops the list. |

Nothing in common. Here's the individual reasons:
Loviatar & Shar: Researching these deities for my campaigns simply made my like of them grow...and grow...and grow...
Eilistraee, Selune, Sehanine Moonbow: The simple concept and mysteries I usually end up surrounding them with.
Sune: Her temples and her portfolio.
Kiaransalee: City of the Spider Queen and Irae T'sarren.
Mystra: Magic is what attracted me to D&D and fantasy in general, and Mystra is a simple extension of that.
Ilsensine: The whole idea of mind flayers, some picture of an elder brain somewhere, and Ethan's character over at dndorks.com.

Is there anything in particular that you like about all of these deities?. Is there a reason?. I am just curious...since it is such a varied selection.

She's good too, but I simply like the others more. |

Ilsensine...!  . What about the Great Mother?...

My arm-long list of preferred deities is:
Mystra, Loviatar, Selune, Shar, Sune, Eilistraee, Kiaransalee, Sehanine Moonbow & Ilsensine. |

ý like lathander best because the idea of hope and new beginings affects me very deeply.Although I think the coolest god is Talos(I used to share this destructive behaviour with anything fragile) destroying the moon will just bring more darkness to the night.
Every night finds its dawn
So salute the dawn and morning lord.

Well I guess maybe Neverwinter has the largest group of Tyr worshippers but there are other temples.I like Tyr because he is a sign of justice.
Also his name is easy to spell. ha,ha, Joking!!!! |
| Cyric |
Posted - 11 Sep 2003 : 20:46:00
That is good of course Tyr is the coolest on the god side. but Cyric has the number one place and tyr hasent he maney followers in newerwinter and they arent paladins |
| William of Waterdeep |
Posted - 11 Sep 2003 : 19:44:57
Well I don't know about being the coolest,or strongest but Tyr is my favorite.I know Tyr is usally followed by Paladins but not necessarily.I did think the Lady of Pain from "Planscape",was cool even if not a God and not of the Realms.I guess Cyric is probably the
winner for Evil. |

Sune and shar are a bit boring they arent in that maney stories that i know of that is but Cyric is in a few and are cool. |
| reluctant harper |
Posted - 10 Sep 2003 : 02:56:32
there are a lot of the gods of Faerun that i think are cool. The ones that first come to mind are Shar and Selune as they are the real players in my campaign.
i am also intrigued by Shaundakul, Azuth, Cyric, Tempus and Malar. |

You all know Auril is the coolest god.....
Think about it ;)
Apart from that then I think Mask is my favourite. |

Plus it can be used to add a level of historical mystery that then surrounds these deities...
