Characteristics

Like in e.g. Greek mythology, deities in Dungeons & Dragons have a great variety of moral outlooks and motives which have to be considered by cleric player characters. In some editions of the game, deities were given statistics, allowing powerful player characters to kill a god like a powerful monster. For gaming purposes, they are also differentiated by a number of standardized characteristics:

Ranks of divine power

Each deity has a divine rank, which determines how much power the entity has, from lowest to highest: *Quasi-deities or hero deities. Beings of this rank are immortal but usually cannot grant spells to worshippers. *Demigods. They are the weakest of the deities, and are able to grant spells and perform a few deeds that are beyond mortal limits. *Lesser deities. These entities can perform more powerful deeds than demigods can, and have keener senses where their portfolios are concerned. *Intermediate deities. These entities control larger godly realms than demigods or lesser gods. *Greater deities. These entities typically have millions of mortal worshippers, and they command respect even among other deities. Some rule over pantheons of other deities. *Overdeities. These entities are beyond the understanding and knowledge of mortals and care nothing for worshippers.

Portfolios

Every deity has certain aspects of existence over which it has dominion, power, and control. Collectively, these aspects represent a deity's portfolio.

Domains

Each deity that can grant spells has multiple domains that give clerics access to extra spells and abilities from that domain. Which domains are associated with a deity is largely a function of the deity's portfolio.

Divine hierarchy

Many deities are arranged in pantheons, which are often led by Greater deities which are their direct superiors. The individual deities in a pantheon may not be forced to obey their superiors, although they typically respect and fear the superior deity.

''Dungeons & Dragons'' 3rd edition

There are over 100 deities in the Greyhawk setting, and when creating ''Dungeons & Dragons'' 3rd Edition Wizards of the Coast selected a subset to become iconic deities. They selected and altered deities to correspond to "iconic" aspects of core D&D. Most core deities are human deities; except for the chief gods of the demihuman races. Certain aspects of the deities were altered to make them more generic – for example: the "Core" Heironeous favors the longsword (in order to make the favored weapon of the "God of Chivalry" more traditionally knight-like), as contrasted with the original "Greyhawk" Heironeous, who favors the battleaxe. The designation of "greater" vs. "intermediate" comes from ''Legends & Lore'' (1990). It is not used in any edition of the ''Player's Handbook'', but it is used in '' Deities and Demigods'' (2002) and various v3.5

Killed by the demon lord Yeenoghu. * He Who Was – A god of good and possibly peace, he was killed by his archangel and exarch, Asmodeus. Implied to be the creator of humans, the devils wiped out all knowledge of his name, which they fear is powerful enough to revive him if it is ever spoken aloud again. The Nine Hells were originally his astral domain, now a prison for Asmodeus and his devils. A holy chalice belonging to him is mentioned in ''Divine Power''. * Khala – Goddess of Winter, wife of Zehir, Khala sought to trap the natural world in an eternal winter to secure power over it. Her plans convinced the primal spirits to expel gods and primordials from the world. She was killed by the other gods in a conflict called the War of Winter, who afterwards made a compact to balance darkness and light (Zehir and Pelor), and the natural seasons (Corellon, Pelor and Sehanine). Her power over winter was taken by the

. * Lakal – God of Healing and Mercy who was also her own Astral Dominion. She was an impersonal deity who communicated with her chosen people, the Quom, through "ecstatic moments of personal communion." She extolled mercy and urged her followers to dedicate themselves to pursuits that benefited the whole cosmos. Lakal's death was accidental – when Bahamut battled Nihil, the Primordial of nothingness, the pair crashed into Lakal. Bahamut was able to use the distraction to slay Nihil, but the primordial's death throes also caused Lakal to explode. The surviving quom now roam the planes, retrieving any shards of Lakal that they can find, including those unknowingly consumed by living creatures. Such creatures, including humanoids and player characters, are considered collateral damage in the quom's quest to restore Lakal. Ironically, even if the quom succeed in their quest, the restored Lakal would be disgusted with their methods. * Maglubiyet – God of Goblinoids. Defeated by

, she was abandoned and then mortally wounded by a paladin's holy blade. Expecting only death, she was surprised when the high priest healed her, showing her compassion and forgiveness. Intrigued, she decided to honor a promise to the high priest and aid him in his holy quest until a time that she could save his life in turn. Nusemnee thus became a symbol of redemption. When she finally died at the end of the high priest's quest, she rose again, this time as a minor goddess. In this form, she opposed her father by offering redemption to all who would turn away from evil. She was later killed by a poison that could kill anything—even a deity—that was distilled from Zehir's blood.
