PANTHEONS OF THE REALMS

Demihuman Deities is a companion product to Faiths & Avatar , and Powers & Pantheon . In the

Forgotten Realms, the gods and goddesses of the Realms are referred to as powers, and they are grouped

into collections of gods referred to as pantheons. Demihuman Deities details the pantheons of the demi-

human races, including the dwarves, elves (and drow), gnomes, and halflings.

Ownership of the Player's Handboo , the Dungeon Master Guid , and the Tome of Magic are

required to use this product. Ownership of Faiths & Avatar , Powers & Pantheon , Pages from the

Mages , Prayers from the Faithf l, the MONSTROUS MANUAL tome, the assorted MONSTROUS

COMPENDIUM Annual volumes, the PLANESCAPE MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM appendices, and the

four volumes of the ENCYCLOPEDIA MAGICA tome is strongly encouraged and would supplement the

information presented here. Without them, DMs will be forced to substitute their own information from

some heavily referenced material. Other products mentioned in this book are of tertiary importance; infor-

mation referenced from them is summarized in this volume or may be omitted completely without signif-

icantly influencing the flavor of the entries presented here.

To avoid excessive duplication between the three supplements, only an overview of the format of each

deity entry is repeated in Demihuman Deities. For a general overview of divine powers in the Realms, the

reader is referred to Faiths & Avatars. For details on the new priest classes referred to in this supplement,

such as the crusader, mystic, and shaman, the reader is referred to either Faiths & Avatars or PLAY-

ER'S OPTION FM: Spells & Magi .

Format of Deity Entrie s

The entries for the powers detailed in all three supplements follow a standard format. Notes on that for-

mat are given here in a format mimicking that used in the text:

Name of Deity

(Common Title and Epithets)

Power Ranking of Plane Name, Alignment

Alignment abbreviations used throughout each deity's entry are:

LG =lawful good, N G =neutral good, CG =chaotic good, LN =lawful neutral, CN =chaotic neutral, N =true

neutral, LE =lawful evil, NE =neutral evil, CE =chaotic evil.

PORTFOLIO : These are the topics, things, ideas, or emotions over which the deity has dominion, power,

and control and about which the deity is concerned.

ALIASES : Other names the power is known by are given here. These may be "puppet gods" the deity has

wholly subsumed, regional names, older names, or simply alternate names.

DOMAIN NAME : The layer of the plane the deity's domain is found on is listed here, followed by the

domain's name. If the plane the domain is on is undivided, the plane name is repeated. (Note that some

planes also have layers with the same name as the plane they are part of.)

SUPERIOR : If the deity takes orders from another power, that power is listed here.

ALLIES : Traditional allies are given here.

FOES : Traditional foes are given here. Powers the god rivals or competes with are not foes. These are dis-

cussed in the text, not here.

SYMBOL : A brief description of the deity's symbol is given here.

WOR. ALIGN .: The alignments required of dedicated worshipers of the deity are given here. Powers gen-

erally try to be as liberal as possible to attract as much worship as they can.

This introductory paragraph describes the way a power is generally depicted (or actually looks) if it is dif-

ferent from the deity's avatar form. It gives the accepted pronunciation of the power's name. It details

additional titles and epithets the power is known by, common worshipers of the power, and the qualities

attributed to the deity, such as its general demeanor, bearing, and personality. It also discusses any rela-

tions between the power and other powers not covered by the "Allies" and "Foes" entries above.

Deity's Avatar (Character classes and levels)

This paragraph describes the avatar's appearance and the schools or spheres of magic from which it may

draw spells. When discussed in this avatar section, a deity's avatar is spoken of as the deity, not as "the

avatar of so-and-so," to economize on space. The avatar's statistics use this format and these abbrevia-

tions:

AC Armor Class; MV movement rate, Fl flying (maneuverability class is assumed to always be A), Sw

swimming, Br burrowing; HP hit points; THACO To hit Armor Class 0; #AT number of attacks per round

Dmg typical damage done per attack (weapon, if one is used, Strength bonus notation, weapon special-

ization notation)

MR magic resistance; SZ Size notation (size in feet)

STR Strength score, DEX Dexterity score, CON Constitution score, INT Intelligence score, WIS Wisdom

score, CHA Charisma score

Spells P : number of priest spells per spell level including Wisdom spell bonuses, W: number of wizard

spells per spell level

Saves (saving throws) PPDM poison, paralyzation, or death magic saving throw; RSW rod, staff, or wand

saving throw; PP petrification or polymorph saving throw; BW breath weapon saving throw; Sp spell sav-

ing throw

Special Att/De : This entry discusses any special attacks or defenses the avatar has, its magical items

of note, and any particularly distinctive tactics it tends to use.

Other Manifestations

This section discusses other manifestations of a power aside from its avatar. These manifestations are

much more commonly encountered than the actual avatar of a deity. They often convey benefits to the

faithful or indicate favor, direction, danger, agreement, or disagreement by the deity. Sometimes they are

merely used to comfort and assure their worshipers that they are aware of a situation or

appreciate their followers' devotion.

The Church

In the headings in this section, the following abbreviations are used for character classes: C =cleric,

Cru =crusader, D =druid, SP =specialty priest, Mon =monk, Mys =mystic, Sha =shaman, F =fighter,

Pal =paladin, R =ranger, W =all wizard classes, M =mage, Abj =abjurer, Con =conjurer, Chr =chrono-
