| I'm wondering if we might see Tyr fall from grace somehow, then see Lathander become Amaunator again and take justice. Tyr might then have Hoar as a servant and Torm start serving Amaunator. |

Not I. I really liked Xvim; he's my fave of the evil deities. That's why I so strongly favor my "Bane is Xvim in disgiuse" theory.  |

| The ones I really want to see survive are my personal favorites: Kossuth, Hoar, Valkur, Tempus, Gond, and Finder. Of course I would prefer to see the whole pantheon survive intact, but that's a pipe dream. |

| I like Tyr, but they need to come up with a better reason for losing his hand. It sounds too much like fenrir and whats-his-face from norse mythology |

You mean the Norse story of how Tyr lost his hand? Same god, same story. |

Lol. I just hope they do not try to pull more RL pantheon deities into the Realms with 4e. |

I would prefer that they kept the pantheon as Ed originally designed it, with the mix of real world deities and original gods. But to be honest I don't care much one way or the other about what WotC decides or does. I prefer the original pantheon and I have that available already. |

Same here. Give me the triad of FR deity books plus the Monster Mythology for all the strange races, and I'm happy. I'm not changing a thing. I like the number of deities in the books; they each can have a place in my game, even if it's just as simple as being an obscure cult in one tiny little corner of the Realms. |

| Has psionics been mentioned at all? ie what about Auppenser, and the other non normal Faerun deities Toth and the others. The weave could in theory be restored if he were to take mystras place. I would think it would be ideal for Mystra to merge with Toth, take the shadow weave from Shar, and shift to a true neutral Alignment. but thats just me, and 4th is looking like a dumb idea to me. |
"Develop the latent abilities within you for that is your power alone. Psionics is the ultimate art of magic and you are its practitioner. Through lifelong dedication, strive to unite your will with your physical form to become one. Only through the unrestrained union of one’s mind and body can the magic of psionics truly be mastered. Throw off the yoke of any who would impose tyranny upon you. Likewise, do not ever force another to submit to your will. Free your mind, free yourself and you have only just begun the path to true psionic mastery. Free others, open their minds to the Invisible Art, and you will show them way to Auppenser."
---Dogma of the Church of Auppenser |
