Not allowed uncoded deities

[Terageld]

I was browsing through the "Howto: Special Rolepays" thread in Game Policies and Howtos (because I'm really bored today), and I stumbled upon this,
"Note. Applications to follow Sharess, Garagos, or Eilistraee will all be denied."
I don't really get why these gods cannot have followers. Is there a reason for this?

Two of those have been disallowed because following their dogmas would cause a player to violate game rules.

The third was disallowed to prevent having a run of Drizzts all over the game.

Eilistraee would fall in line wih the thought that there are alignment restrictions for all drow. They must be evil, whereas she is a deity of good.

Sharess is the patroness of hedonistic pleasures and that does not coincide with the PG-13 rating. Sune is coded & an acceptable version of similar aspects, as Llirra (though she is an uncoded option.)

Garagos the same as above, only with violence/mindless slaughter. We have Tempus for the battle category & Talos for destruction.

You can search the forums & see the other discussions on the same topic.

What about non-drow Eilistraeans? She takes Halfdrow, halfelf, elf, and really most other races as followers (though not as priestesses).

I've actually been thinking up a character concept for a servant of Eilistraee. I'd be super sad if not. lol

There are also other gods of war and battles that are better controlled than Garagos that you can apply for.

True! Except, a huge part of her dogma is about drow, "Encourage drow to return to the surface world and work to promote harmony between drow and surface- dwelling races in order to establish the drow as rightful, nonevil inhabitants of Faerun." Which is where the Drizzt, issue would come into play as Harroghty mentioned.

The only one that I could see as probably not working in regards to game mechanics is Zaltec, he's like a Matzican Garagos.

Should be noted for general purposes that that list is current to FR, so has a lot of 4e nonsense about dead gods and schizophrenic gods and gods who don't actually exist in the FK time frame.

Even if its tainted by 4e rubbish, I trust that the player and the application admins can sort through it to find appropriate choices when and if its used.

Oh, I agree, was just noting it contained some information that doesn't apply to FR. Apologies if it sounded harsher than I meant it to, harder to convey tone now that smilies don't work.
