It is very likely that this is my fault, so I apologize ahead of time for wasting everyone's time: When I first began to play here I created the same character I have on every server, who is a ranger; When I was asked to select a deity, I picked one from the elven pantheon, as she's an elf. It said something about it not being a valid Forgotten Realms deity, but I didn't think I needed to worry so much, since she's nolt a cleric. It's been 20 years or more since I played the table top D&D and that was with a set of rules that's been superseded a bazillion times, so I didn't realize that the few spells Rangers get are "divine magic". In fact, I had realized when I hit level 6 that Im supposed to pick a spell or two and it wasn't until I was in a battle that my spell fizzled and I got a little message that said I didn't have a valid Forgotten Realms deity.
IS there a way to give myself a valid deity? The one I picked was from the list that the little pod gives you to choose from- not being a cleric, I don't have domains or anything. I guess I can live without the spells, but if you're feeling indulgent of old people whose memories aren't so good anymore, I'd love to be able to cast those "cure light wounds" spells...
