My character has converted two people so far to the worship of Bane. How would I go about chaging their deity, game mechanics wise? Do DMs have the power to do that?

I was thinking, if they did, that one could oversee some kind of initiation rite into the faith of Bane? After swearing allegiance to his service and his dogma, perhaps then the deity field could be changed?

Any suggestions/information regarding this would be helpful, as would any canon material involving the inducting of new memebers into the Church of Bane.

Thanks in advance.

If they're not divine casters, changing faith is pretty easy. Just ask a DM to switch them over.

If they are divine casters and expect to get spells from Bane, it will be more difficult. They will need to undertake some sort of task or perform some notable deed (best DM supervised) on behalf of Bane before he will accept them into his flock-- if he is willing to do so at all.

Okay, great. Thanks for the help. Both arent casters, so that makes it easier.

This one goes out to all the DMs in the house: If the character doesn't have access to divine abilities and follows a diety not listed on their character sheet, would you like us to contact you in-game, or is it a non-issue with you guys?

When I first made Talia, I knew almost nothing about the Forgotten Realms, so I can't even remember if I filled out that field. As much fun as it is playing a naive bard, she eventually learned quite a bit about the cosmology and started following a diety more suited to her outlook.

Thanks for humoring us PW noobs!

It's fine either way. I'd be happy to switch your deity to the appropriate one in-game; it's quite quick. I always like seeing characters with proper deities. Don't feel obligated to get it switched, though-- if you're not a divine spellcaster, it doesn't really affect anything much.

i have a character on the server who is a ranger and he doesn't have a diety. whe can't cast spells yet but i would like him to have Solonor Thelandira.His name is Aniril Yanicelamne. Could you leto him so that he could have that diety? thank you
