Your top 3 deities?

There are a whole lot to choose from. From the minor demigods to the greater deities. Some races have their own entire pantheon.

My top 3:
1. Torm - Seek out evil and kill, and I guess I envy Keldorn and his loyal attitude
2. Tymora - It's all about dice rolling, and getting a little but of luck from her is always nice
3. Bhaal - for his genius foresight of his death and the plot to be ressurected

What's yours?

    Eilistraee, because dancing naked in the moonlight with a sword sounds pretty fun. Also, good aligned Drow.
    Mystra, because magic.
    and Sehanine Moonbow, because dreams.

    There's actually more to it than just that but I can't be bothered typing a full explanation haha

    Hey, no cheating! Not that they're hard guesses anyway. Except maybe Elistree. Probably wouldn't have heard of her if I hadn't read Starlight and Shadows. Wanted to add Sehanine as well but then all the three would've been elven deities so someone had to go.

    Mystra is also tres cool as the French would say.

    I pretty much knew them by appearance anyway haha. It seems we like the same sorts of God/esses, ser.

    If I were a Realmsian (that's a word, really) I'd be a Kelemvorite in a heartbeat.
    Ilmater comes second, if only because he genuinely seems the kindest god.
    Moradin third because he's the dwarven badass god.

    Honourable mentions:
    Marthammor Duin - Coolest name
    Torm and Tyr - The honourable gods
    Sune - Hello ladies
    Bane - The Baddest of the Bad

    Dishonourable mention:
    Mystra - The Pincussion Goddess, The Magical Target Mark, She-Who-Can't-Decide-On-A-Chosen. If Elminster is Ed Greenwood's Mary Sue, Mystra is his girlfriend(s). She's consistently portrayed as a vastly incompetent goddess with way too much power and a serious attention whoring problem. Veto Mystra! Azuth for magic god!

    Ghaunadaur ~ The glory of slimes and aberrations is eternal!
    Auril ~ Winter FTW! Not to mention my weakness for cold hearted woman such as the Frostmaiden.
    Loviatar ~ Always had a weakness for cold hearted dominatrixes as well.

    Bane (probably who I would worship, honestly)
    Loviatar (also possible deity I would actually pray to)
    Tempus (this dude rides into battle on TWO HORSES AT THE SAME TIME, so he's awesome)
  • CCarluNNCCarluNN Member Posts: 200
    Ok, but some lines about why you have these deities in your lists will be appreciated.

    @Jaysama
    I better go to the temple of Helm to start an investigation. This cult must be found, and destroyed.

    Helm sees all, know that, and be judged.

    Tyr - Justice
    Helm - Duty and vigilance
    Ilmater - Compassion

    Sheesh, I just pegged myself as 'good', didn't I? So long as it isn't 'lawful' good... I can't stand it when people follow bad laws just because they're 'the law'.

    Lawful Good characters aren't required to follow all laws blindly. Of course, what constitutes a "bad law" is largely subjective, and depends on who you ask. If you asked the ignorant, whining masses, half the laws that keep the very fabric of civilization mended are "bad laws."

    Leira is the only one who left an impression on me, from the games.

    Amaunator, because he (might) be three gods in one!
  • CCarluNNCCarluNN Member Posts: 200
    Hmm, just recently read about The Triad: Tyr, Torm, and Ilmater forming a powerful good-aligned alliance.

    Would definitely be in my top 3 if I chose to play as a Paladin.
