[Rq-rules] Deity Types

[Gianni]

Pete,

> I was making a list of deity types from the RQIII Magic book, and was

> 
> - Agricultural Goddess
> - Earth Goddess
> - Hunting God
> - Moon Goddess
> - Night Goddess
> - Ruling Deity
> - Sea God
> - Storm God
> - Sun God
> - Trickster God
> - Underworld God
> - War God
> 
> Possibly some of these could be folded into one of the other categories

> 
> Animal God

Could be the same as the Hunting God: you must appease the Animal God before
being allowed to hunt.

> Chaos God

Not really a generic god. The Ruling deity of the enemy can be your 'Chaos
God', qv  Baalzebub in the Bible.

> City God

Can be the same as the Ruling God, qv Marduk et al.

> Death God

OK, I agree this is missing.

> Healing God

Could be the same as the Earth (Fertility) Goddess.

> Hearth God

Not always present.

> Messenger God

Ditto.

> Racial God
> Undead God

These are more fantasy oriented.

Cheers

Gianni
