...a gold elf character:
I´m about to enter in a FR gaming group and i had the idea of using a posible Mistic Theurge character. To use a posible IC excuse to include me in the party, i could use a Gold elf charcter. Soo, here are the questions:
What Magic God aside of Corelleon can i use?
Its inside the posible behaviour of a Gold Elf to worship a non-elf Magic God like Mystra? It´s posible and aceptable inside gold elf society?
Is posible fopr a gold elf to be a Mistic Theurge?
Thanks in advance!

Certainly its possible to be a Mystic Theurge.
It is even possible to worship Mystra (though I would see a Gold Elf leaning more towards Azuth). These would be unorthodox choices, however, and you might be treated as such by more orthodox Gold Elves. I don't think that you would be ostracized, but it would be kind of like going into a Country Western Bar dressed as the Biker Village Person.
Sehanine Moonbow and Angarradh would be alternate elven magic deities, and might even lean a bit towards Mystic Theurge. |

This is not a problem you are making it out to be, A patron deity is the one deity the charater most closely follows. Even clerics, the most devote of their patron deity give homage to other deities.
The best quick answer I offer is the character honors Mystra most and Corelleon as second most important. Mystra could be chosen as patron deity, IAE the Gold Elf will/should give honor and worship to most of the Sedraine just in lessor degrees. There clearly is precedent for non humans taking a "human" deity as their patron.
FR (and D&D charaters in general) know and belive that there are many deities, it is not believe in one and claim the others do not exist at all. |

| I agree with the above replies, and for the record elves who worship Mystra aren't all that uncommon, at least on the mainland of Faerun. I think a lot depends on information the topic-starter hasn't told us, like where the elf lives and what culture he/she grew up in. For example, if the elf lives in a place where gold elves are uncommon, what other gold elves would think of his choices might not concern him/her. Or it might, depending on the character. |

In fact, this character is a posibility i am considering to play, using the fact that one of the other players is a half-gold elf of noble birth (shame on the poor noble house!). The mother of that PC is currently a widow, and while she and his son are the last of her noble house, they still have some power, and my player can enter in the party has a pretender for the women.
The idea was about a young (something like 25-30 years old in human scale, i dont know how mech years is that in elf years) how listen the call of Magic and Mystra. They guy is the last of a very minor branch of one of the noble houses of Evermeet. In fact, i can use his worship of Mystra has one of his reasons to leave Evermeet for the continent.
Any idea to better up the backgorund of this PC? |

Actually I really like what you have.  It all makes sense to me. |

Well, I am not Scererar, and I hope he will forgive me for intruding.
What Scererar is saying is that in the Realms of the Elves anthology there is the story of a gold elf with a background you might find interesting.
P.S. I think the background you have works well. |
