The best in dark sun: No idea!
The best in dragonlance: Paladine!
The best in mystra: no idea!
The best in the red death: yavé! (Jéhova in english)
The best in Spelljammer: no idea!
The best in Gray Hawk: Cuthberth!

Can't go against the Lady of Mysteries! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

<font color="CCFFFF">Mystra (Greater Goddess)

The Lady of Mysteries, the Mother of All Magic
Symbol: Circle of seven stars with red mist flowing from the center
Alignment: NG (*You can use either NG or LN when picking Mystra as a patron.)
Portfolio: Magic, spells, the Weave
Domains: Good, Illusion, Knowledge, Magic, Rune, Spell
Favored Weapon: Seven whirling stars (shuriken)

Mystra (MISS-trah) is a busy and devoted deity. She provides and tends to the Weave, the conduit that allows mortal spellcasters and users of magic to safely access the raw force that is magic. Essentially, Mystra is the Weave. As the goddess of magic, she is also the deity of the possibilities that magic can bring about, making her one of the most powerful beings involved with Toril. Although she is good and has the ability to prevent the creation of new spells and magic items that her philosophy opposes, she rarely exerts this ability unless the creation could threaten the Weave or the balance of magic in general.

Mystra’s church preserves magical lore in secret and hidden places so that magic would continue and flourish in the future even if the dominant races of Faerûn were to fall. Its members also search out those skilled in magic or who have the potential to use it, keeping a close eye on those who are likely to become skilled. Her clerics are encouraged to explore magical theory and create new spells and magic items. Sites dedicated to the goddess are enhanced by the Weave to allow any spell cast by her clerics while in them to have one metamagic effect without the requisite need to take up a higher-level spell slot. Mystra honors the commitments that members of her clergy who joined the church before the Time of Troubles made to the previous goddess of magic (who was lawful neutral). They have not been forced to leave the clergy due to alignment differences.

Clerics of Mystra pick one time of day or night to consistently pray for spells. They celebrate the 15th of Marpenoth, the anniversary of the ascension of the current Mystra from her mortal form, but otherwise have few calendar-related rituals, focusing more on a personal style of worship. Her clerics usually multiclass as some sort of arcane spellcaster.

History/Relationships: Mystra was once a mortal wizard named Midnight. She assumed the fallen Mystra’s portfolio and divinity during the Time of Troubles. Her allies are the deities of knowledge, Mystra’s customary advisor (Azuth), Selûne (creator of the deity Mystryl, later called Mystra), and Kelemvor, whom she knew as a man when she was a mortal.

Dogma: Love magic for itself. Do not treat it just as a weapon to reshape the world to your will. True wisdom is knowing when not to use magic. Strive to use magic less as your powers develop, for often the threat or promise of its use outstrips is actual performance. Magic is an Art, the Gift of the Lady, and those who wield it are privileged it the extreme. Conduct yourself humbly, not proudly, while being mindful of this. Use the Art deftly and efficiently, not carelessly and recklessly. Seek always to learn and create new magic.

see!

Vecna, it's always good to see someone work there way to the top http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

Vecna, Yeah but how embarasing for a god to get traped in Ravenloft... My guess the Dark Powers are still Laughing at that one. Vecna would still be traped there if it wasn't for the fact they are trying to revive Grey Hawk for the third ed. The same is for Soth, the Dragonlance auther who created Soth apprently bitched a blue streak when he learned he had to use Soth in Ravenloft. Hence the Ravenloft Novel, created to bring him back to Dragonlance.

I'm kinda partial to the good old fashion Christian God...

According to Planescape good old Vecna did spend some time in the plane of shadow somewhere during his stint between Ravenloft and Greyhawk. And he nearly became the greatest power in the module Vecna Lives (Also known as "lets kill of those 2nd edition pc's to make way for 3rd Edition http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif) And lets not forget he is responsible (or rather Kas is) for two of the most well known and feared artifacts floating around.
Cheers

Also Strahd I noticed in your choices a strong leaning toward Lawful neutral or good. Is this the alignment you often take for your characters? (Just curious)

I usualy play Lawful Neutral Caracters, I love that aliment. I play almost exclusively with That Aliment. Save the rare times I play a paladin.

Best god?
Neathen'Calith
My father
Too bad he's not in one of the realms


"Gods may become mortal, and mortals may become Gods. Such is life in the Realms." - Elminster

Just buy him a flight from Schiphol and who knows what could happen?

I also think Vecna's castle and domain is on Quiatial-Plane of Ash, But The think I like most is how he was draged in Ravenloft. He used his Avatar to forge alink to cast a spell. The Mists followed the Spell to the avatar then followed the avatar conduit to the plane of Ash and got Vecna. The poor sod din't even realise that he made a link that could be traced back to him.

Never forget The Holy Memnoch, the god of COPY and PASTE ! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...miles/wink.gif

So long !

If your a DM strad then try to get your hands on Vecna Lives. It's one of those lets kill of the 2nd edition pc's before 3rd edition arrives. In it Vecna travels a few campaign worlds and ends up in Sigil.
Cheers

The best has to be <h2><font color=red>Aerdrie Faenya</font></h2> of the Elves. For she is the Goddess of the Avariel or Winged Elves like my character Angel

Honest answer: THE God, the Christian God of all.
Joking answer: myself, for i am master of all things.
Faerun:Torm, cuz (i think) hes god of loyalty and duty

YHWH

A fair dinkum laughing Hyena!

Assuming you mean published deities rather than PCs/former PCs, here i sthe list for Mystara (by Sphere):
.
Energy - Ixion - bit of a prat though
Entropy - Nyx was my favourite - my character Shield married her when he became God of Vigilantes. Also, she's not really evil - just has strange belief that undeath is the next logical step in a person's life upon dying
For sheer power, though, Thanatos (the Reaper)
Thought - Odin
Matter - Terra
Time - Khoronus

Best god?

ZAGYG
God of humor and magic.

Far more fun than most of the other godshttp://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

.
I keep forgetting that guy IS a god. He gets not much more mention than the Circle of Eight. Trickster gods are always liked by somebody. As I say, my preference was Nyx (or Lady Change as she's now known in my milieu)

I always liked CYRIC, he just sounded cool.

As for the crappiest god it would have to be Illiameter (hope thats the right spelling), what a stupid deity !

Time is only relevant if you have none !

I think you mean illmatar. Yea thats a god for people that like to pour hot wax on their nipples.

------------------
http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprinc...ages/sign2.gif Welcome to hell.

Pouring wax on your nipples to take on the suffering of others. What's with that? Yep. Ilmater has to be the most depressing, no-benefit sack of s**t going

He invented S & M.
