Deity

Deities are members of pantheons (or other demigods and entities) that are worshipped on Faerun and other worlds.

At character creation, one must choose a deity from a list of 105 Forgotten Realms deities. These are common deities worshipped, and does not include pantheons from remote areas like Mulhorand and Chult. If your current deity is not compatible with your current alignment or class, you will have to change your deity to one that actually fits in your character.

Some popular Forgotten Realms deities include: Eilistraee, Mystra, Tyr, Helm, Sehanine Moonbow, Cyric, Sune, Lolth, Corellon Larethian, Lathander, Silvanus, Chauntea, Talona, Oghma, Gond

Pre-release notes

 * The deity list includes "none" and Lord Ao. However, Uthgar and Takhisis were stated as to not be on the list.
 * At initial release, there will not be descriptions for each deity.
 * Module makers may alter the deity list in a 2da file as desired. (there will be a description field)

NWN comparison

 * Deity selection was limited to an optional text box. It had no real functionality in game, so the restrictions normally associated with Divine spellcasting classes were simply not used.
