We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Make Tiamat a selectable Deity for Human Clerics & BG's

Post by CragOneEye »

For starters she's an infernalist deity, that is a former Archduke of the nine hells, making her a viable option to chose for human infernalists, given she still ahs power in Avernus, even though she no longer lives there she still ahs her lair there.

For second she has as -many- human followers in both Unther and in Mulhorand as Set, and both hers and Set's followers often work in collaboration with eahc other to undermine rest of the Mulhorandi Church. She also currently lives in Heliopolis as per 3.0/3.5 lore like rest of the Mulhorandi pantheon. If we're deciding to include the Mulhorandi pantheon for people to worship, which is only isolated to two countries mostly then why isn't it acceptable for there to be human clerics of Tiamat when her human worshipping cult followers covers more than two countries.

Infact continuing on the second point her and Hoar are the two remaining Untheric deities, that are still recognized in Unther. A large part of Tiamat's Untheric aspect is to mirror both Asyrian and Babylonian mythos much like how Mulhorandi pantheon represents Egyptian pantheon, which is one of the reasons she has a lot of human followers in both Unther and Mulhorand.

For third she is widely worshipped in Chessenta, through her Exarch Tchazzar.

Fourth point she also has a human cult in Vaasa, to sabotage Bahamut's cult.

Fifthly she has many human followers within the Cult of the Dragon plotting to sabotage this wide spread evil organization.

Sixth point one of her avatars is a Beautiful Human Mulan, and she is part of the Fearunian pantheon not just draconic for a reason, it means she has human followers all over Aber-Toril, which I covered in my previous points.

Take the Gift of Unique Favour then? That allows a cleric or BG to be a servant of any god.

Her restriction is based off https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiamat_(D ... 6_Dragons) which reads "Few humans or other humanoids worship Tiamat".
