Divine Characters

Postby Loreweaver » Mon Nov 16, 2015 4:08 pm

Before You Begin
Impiltur's main religion is that of the Triad (Tyr, Torm and Ilmater). While their temples are not strictly part of the government, nearly all important government figures were trained by these temples, often as paladin, and place great value on the opinions of its leaders. This has led to a series of laws which make life harder on other religions. The most notable laws are the one forbidding divine orders from gathering and operating in public, with the exception of their Most Holy Order of the Sacred Shrike, and the one forbidding divine servants of non-Triadic religions access to Impiltur without government approval.

Laws and you
Your character has a choice of entering the country illegally, risking banishment, or registering for a visum as normal. Servants of good and neutral deities are almost always welcome, particularly if they focus their efforts on converting non-Triadic Impilturans rather than tempting folk away from the state religion. Servants of evil deities are more often denied a visum, particularly if there is already a representative of their religion in the area or if the deity's portfolio is irrelevant to the common people.
The choice mainly determines whether or not you should try to keep a low profile. It's not really meant to limit what you can play. Similarly, there may be restrictions on displaying holy order symbols outside your temple's grounds, particularly if you travel with a fellow member of your order, but if you ignore them there's a decent chance nothing bad will happen until someone has cause to complain about it.

The application
There is no need for an application at this time. The old application is retained below for archiving purposes.
Note that the multiclass limitations on the druid, priest, monk and paladin do still apply: they cannot be mixed with eachother and the divine class must be the major class, that is, have at least 50% of the total levels at all times.
Spoiler:
You'll find a template for the application below. If you play a Druid, Monk, Paladin or Priest, please fill it in and PM it to Kilaana or Loreweaver. Your application will be reviewed to make sure that your character's plans for the region are realistic and that they can properly live up to the responsibilities placed upon them by their deity. If there's a need for clarification or modification, you will receive a reply within 10 days. However, if you're confident there's nothing unusual in your application then feel free to start playing right away.
Note that Rangers do not count as Divine characters for this purpose, even though they gain access to divine spells. If your Divine Character is evil-aligned, please fill in an Evil application as well.
Divine character application (Druid, Monk, Paladin, Priest)

1. Please list your character information below:
Name:
Gender:
Alignment:
Deity (+ any domains):
Starting attributes:
Final class combination:

2. Please describe your character in a single ten word sentence.

3. In your own words (25 or less), describe what it means to follow your character's chosen religion in daily life.

4. Describe your character's goals and how their success or failure is to be measured (up to 20 words each).

5. Please describe how your character came to be in Impiltur as a servant of their deity and how the recent Time of Troubles has affected their beliefs (up to 50 words).

6. Please provide any other information you feel is necessary to judge your character application (paladin's code, druidic oaths, monk's edicts, character background etc.)

Below you'll find a list of the most conventional deities and their regular domains. Classes which receive divine spells should not be more than one alignment step removed from their chosen deity's and both of a priest's domains should match their deity's.
There are rare exceptions to both of these rules. For instance, Mystra allows LN priests and Azuth's Illusion domain (not available here) could be represented as Trickery in certain cases, though trickery is not at the core of his dogma. Ask a DM about the possibilities.

As of September 2018, divine class applications are no longer required to play.
