I wish D&D religion was a little more like historical polytheism. You average Greek would have prayed to Zeus when hoping for rain, to Demeter when harvesting, to the local nymphai when strolling in the country, and to Ares if he got conscripted during a war, rather than just picking one singular God to worship.

Choosing a single deity is mostly for paladins, their champions, and clerics, their priests. If you're not one of those you can pray to the rain God for rain and the sun God for sunny days. If you want rain powers you are a cleric of the rain God and pray only for rain every day and try to get everyone else to pray to the rain God... Basically.

I would like to point out, the Seed did not become the Infinite Abyss, but it simply created the Infinite Abyss around it, as it was the original Seed of Darkness. The Infinite Abyss still contains the Seed which created it, and has even consumed a few Gods which went after it. Should any Divine manage to acquire the Seed of Darkness, they could either choose to spread the Darkness as the Seed of Darkness sustains them and grows in power with the expansion of the Darkness, or they could uproot the Seed and return the world to it's originally intended form, as Evil would quickly become a legend.

I particularly enjoyed the basic breakdown of the major deities of alignment...it draws a clear line across the broader aspects of who a character might worship. Kord seems a favorite to barbarians, for instance...they "rage", yes, but they have the potential to do some good. Likewise, Avandra may appeal to risk-takers like rogues & bards. There are many lesser deities, as well...I find Lliira, for instance, to be somewhat amusing, as her followers, known as "Joydancers", tend to be bards & clerics that express their worship through festivals and dances...I formed an entire backstory based around a hardened, weary warrior who had grown sick of bloodshed, found Lliira, and embraced love & happiness as his truth...but when threatened, he implemented the "dance" of her followers into his swordsmanship to protect the innocent. Sometimes, you can build a whole backstory around these gods.

I made a warlock whose village was burned by a boneclaw leading other undead, he caught smoke on the wind thanks to the traveler and rushed home as fast as possible. He died trying to save his family, but the Raven Queen made a deal: just this once she would return him and his giant lizard thing to life in unaging bodies, they hit their physical prime and stay there. In return he would hunt undead and conduct humble funerals and such, acting as her hand in the physical world and as soon as they die their souls go to the shadowfell to be sentries in her palace. He left what was once his home with new magic, and a couple of special items and now prays to the traveler for good fortune and the raven queen for power and guidance.

@@sanguiniusse434 I honestly enjoy the concept of Llirra...enjoy life, forego violence, cheer people up. What's not to like? Shame about your campaign. Working on a Hexblade Tome Warlock / Lore Bard...he's accidentally uncovered a tome that has a direct connection to Vecna...though he's unaware of that. He has a peculiar fixation with uncovering magic and secrets and scribbling them into his tome...the tome hungers for knowledge, you see, and it's one of many that feeds Vecna's power. In exchange, he becomes more powerful, and perhaps a bit more cold and ruthless...not your typical happy-go-lucky bard! Mechanically, this involves writing down ritual spells as a warlock, as well as general quest notes (weirdly meta, because my own notes are considered "known" to Vecna). In addition, as a Lore Bard mainly, I tend to seek out knowledge already, and my "Magical Secrets" are gifts bestowed to me by my patron...and they are quite sinister. "Hunger of Hadar"..."Soul Trap"..."Harm"..."Finger of Death"... ...eventually, if I ever get to a high level with this particular character, the chief reward is the necromancy spell, "Clone"...so he can spend an eternity dying, being reborn, and continue seeking knowledge.

Thanks for the fantastic video, Logan! As always, your passion for the subject really shows! I'm working on creating a setting in which the theology, cosmology, astrology, and magic system are all closely intertwined, and your video has greatly helped me realize what I need to edit or redefine, as well as what is working so far. There are multiple tiers of gods in my setting. Most deities are represented as a loose pantheon of wild gods, created through a form of animism that is also the source of the magic in this world. Meanwhile, the more powerful deities represent a combination of a tight pantheon and dualism, with gods representing pairs of directly opposing concepts or ideals, such as light/dark, life/death, existence/void, etc. Though I have left room for the possibility to include all sorts of deities in my setting, I'm realizing that I have yet to really flesh out the loose pantheon I mentioned. The lesser deities will have a drastic effect on the rest of the worldbuilding, including historical conflicts, mythology, and culture. To further work toward the goal of creating an expansive and believable world, I still need to create lesser deities to represent a wider range of domains. You included a great list of potential domains in your video, and I am very grateful for that! That said, the domains you listed do not all have direct counterparts in the game mechanics of D&D. Do you have any recommendations for how best to represent the domains other than the eight physical domains you mentioned? For example, how might one run a Cleric of Delirium in a game of 5th edition? I'm trying to cover as much ground as possible with my worldbuilding efforts, but I'm trying not to homebrew too many rules for when I run a game in this setting. Sorry for the long message, I just wanted to hear what else you might have to say to expand on that particular topic!
@Runesmith
5 жыл бұрын
If you use different domain types, you'll have to re-imagine some cleric paths. For a cleric of delirium, you could easily use the trickery domain and modify it where you see fit. Check the DMs workshop in the back of the DMs guide for tips on balancing, but try to keep the mentality of connecting dots. Likely each endless domain shares similarities to one or two other domains. This video was made mostly to get your creative juices flowing, but what you do with the presented ideas will be affected by your own unique style.

Made a christendom setting, god and archangels being the setting, while having other pantheons in the process, its been a great story so far.

Feels really weird to come back to these old videos. I definitely remember why I subscribed back then, but so very different to what he settled into.

Ao is one of my favorite D&D deities. I first found out about him in Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of undrentide.

I'm playing a single player campaign right now in which my character ascended to divinity when a dying god, who was lost for a very long time, gave him his portfolio to take his place. My DM made an entire system for the outer planes, for goodhood and the powers, the ranking system of divinity, how to interact with followers etc. And now i, a tiny demi-god, have to deal with all the weird views and expectations of other deities. It's quite fun^^

Good video Logan! I only have one complaint. The ending was a repeat of your DnD guide series on XP to lvl 3. Aside from that though, great work. I do enjoy your style and wish to see you grow as a youtuber.

I think that was the point. If people hadn't seen that, since it's on a different channel, then they can still get the same info.

Hello! I've been looking for some kind of map or explanation of the Realmspace, and where exactly can you find the Forgotten Realms and dragonlance settings in it. I want to DM a crossover between the two, but I can't find anything related to their relation with the overall universe/plsnr of existence.

A couple things I do to create a pantheon. When making a pantheon of wild gods, I usually make a set of rules akin to physical laws to decide how gods and religous stories are created. For instance, a God could become a God once the number of followers and believers is greater than or equal to three. When dealing with wild Gods, incorporate culture into the pantheon. When designing a polytheistic religion, decide upon an ordered religion or an disordered religion. A disordered religion is a religion with no rigid connections between the main Gods. An ordered religion has exactly n Gods in the order, with a connection between all of their domains. Some examples of orders: n=2 Two gods represent the opposite of each other, either in harmony or havoc. Like yin and yang. n=3 Either two extremes and one middle or three sides of a triangle. Like the triforce or Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. n=4 Choose 2 qualities, the first becomes the x axis and the second becomes y. Either graph the extreme corners or the extreme sides. For example, the classical elements. n=5 You probably saw the other comment in this section first, but choose one quality for the first God, choose its antonym for the second God, give a similar word to the second God, give its antonym to the third, and so on until it loops back. I could keep going, but we'd be here all day. Ordered systems can have inordered subsets, and inordered subsets can have ordered subsets.

Probably going to have to make more. There are so many deities in D&D it's well a lot. Didn't mention even a quarter of them here.

Wizards of the Coast writers clearly care about their world and lore so much that I've never even heard of most of these after reading several adventures.

One pantheon design choice you missed is what 4th Ed started and the Kobold Press Midgard Campaign Setting uses now for PF, 5th, and others. Single alignment gods. Like True Neutral, these are gods of just "Law" "Chaos" "Good" and "Evil." They accept any worshipers that align with that single aspect, regardless of the other component of their worshiper's alignments. This leads to religions full of diverse opinions, active schisms, and lots of lulz for Deities and DMs alike.

Thinking about these deities within their cultural context is so interesting, as if they’ve been crafted to reflect their respective societies’ norms and long-standing conflicts with other peoples

In Baldur’s Gate 3 Rafael emanates Lucifer. The actor’s performance is just WOW! 😮. Rafael in Baldur’s Gate does make me think of Faust.
