Selecting a Deity
While it is not necessary for a character to patronize a deity in Impiltur, doing so may add additional depth to a character’s background. In some cases, however, certain classes require that a valid deity is selected and validated to progress in level and/or enable the use of a particular class’ feats, spells, and skills. For additional information on which classes require a valid deity selection, please visit the Class Considerations page.
Valid deities must be selected from one of the pantheons typically venerated in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. Each deity also has alignment and domain requirements that must match those of the character for the selection to be valid.
Deity selections are validated in-game within the Portal to Impiltur Port Authority building by speaking with the monk Jarius who generally resides on the second floor. A complete list of valid deity selections is also available on the bookshelf on the second floor. This list is outlined below along with each deity’s alignment and domain requirements.
Deity names followed by “※” are valid nature deities.
