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 tweak X class.

Bring back Myrkul and Bhaal as deities

Post by good man of god »

Bring back Myrkul and Bhaal as worshippable deities.

All 3 of the 'Dead Three' are actively worshipped on Arelith as part of the Banite pantheon alongside Mask, Talona, Malar, and Loviatar.

Despite a God being 'dead', said God can still garner worshippers and this should be mechanically allowed, even if only showing them as a lesser power/demi power.

We also allow for Jergal to be worshipped despite him having given up his portfolio, so I'd suggest Myrkul and Bhaal be supported once again as they used to be.

Thanks.

They are dead so cannot confer:

  • Piety
  • Spells
  • Support

Being selectable implies they can do these things.
You can claim to worship one of them and have a god that is a placeholder as per the rules of deity selection, and in this unknowingly be giving your faith to another god.
This is actually how alot of the stolen identities and such of the gods work.
Denied.
