Greetings everyone,
It is with pleasure that I inform you we are rescinding the rule that prevented clerics of dead or inactive deities. The new rule goes as follows.
Note regarding dead or inactive deities.
The Mists of Ravenloft have the ability to pull people from different eras into Ravenloft. This means that even if a given deity is dead or inactive in the most current official setting lore, the Mists may have pulled them in from a time when the deity was still alive and active. Consequently, it is possible to play a cleric of such a deity on the condition that it has proper clerical domains listed in an official d20 source or in our Religion Resource Thread. These clerics receive their powers normally irrespective of the current status of their deity, as long as they believe and are convinced that the deity is alive.
The
Religion Resource Thread has been updated to include deities such as Takhisis and Paladine for the Dragonlance setting, as well as Myrkul, Bhaal and multiple others slain during or before the Times of Trouble in the Forgotten Realms. We took the opportunity of completing the Netherese pantheon to allow characters that'd like to explore this era of Faerun in their roleplay.
