Greek Pantheon for HARP (Cleric Spell Lists)
« on: October 08, 2013, 04:26:47 PM »
Hello All,

I've been working on my fantasy settings religious orders again.  This time I modeled a region's orders on the Greek/Roman pantheon.  Yet again I twisted these a little by interpreting things in certain ways to fit my setting better, but this pantheon wasn't very clear cut even when it was still being worshiped and a few thousands of years of separation hasn't cleared it up any.  So there are a lot of ways to interpret these, but I figured it might help someone with at least a place to start.

I hope this helps someone.  If you have any questions or comments I would be glad to discuss them.

This time I actually found the spoiler button, so I can avoid the wall of text that happened on the norse pantheon.

Thanks,

-Pyrotech

Great work! This is impressive that you designed so many lists.

I noticed you used the various "Weaken [stat]" spells in many of your lists. Is there a specific reason (just curious)?

Well in this case I went with many of the Weaken Stat spells for a couple of reasons.

1) Many of these gods promote certain emotional states that may be inhibited by certain stats.  So say a Priest of Aphrodite may wish to promote a very emotional response from a target but find that their high Self-Discipline prevents easy manipulation of their emotions.  In this case Weaken Self-Discipline would help promote the gods ideals.

2) Many of the gods have aspects that can cause a reduction of some of these stats.  So say a Priest of Dionysus is offended by a "blasphemous" target, he may choose to inflict a state unto the victim similar to the effects of too much wine.  Thus Weaken Agility was chosen.

This also gave some offensive spells to some priests who don't have too many.

All in all they just seemed to kind of fit the aspects of the god to me.

One more pantheon to go before I'm done with the major ones for my setting.  Next up is Ancient Egyptian.  If I start to really like making these up I might go on to do other big ones for my world (Ancient Persian/Babylonian, a couple of "dead" asian religions if I can find details on them, and maybe a "dead" southern African pantheon)  but these would all be lower priority.  I really need to get back to finishing up my Harp Sci-Fi adventure.
