DESCRIPTION
What
makes a god a god? How are divine powers created, and how do they die?
How powerful is a greater deity compared to a lesser deity? These
questions and many more are answered for the FORGOTTEN REALMS campaign
setting within Faiths & Avatars.
Detailed in this 192-page core supplement are the most prominent
religions and deities of the Realms. Each divine power is covered in
depth by an entry that includes information about the deity's
appearance, personality, worshipers, portfolio, aliases, domain name,
superior, allies, foes, symbol, worshipers' alignments, avatar,
manifestations, church, and specialty priests. The information on each
religion includes its core dogma, day-to-day activities of priests,
holy days and important ceremonies, major centers of worship,
affiliated orders, and the priestly vestments and adventuring garb of
members of the clergy. Finally, each entry contains spells specific to
each of the religions - some new, some long unavailable or hard to
find, and some updated to conform with the current AD&D game rules.
Faiths & Avatars includes:
All the greater, intermediate, and lesser deities of the
Faerûnian pantheon.
The honored dead, including Bane, Bhaal, Moander, Myrkul, and Leira,
among others.
Expanded and clarified specialty priest classes and specific spells for
all religions with priesthoods.
Color illustrations of priests from every faith in ceremonial dress.
Four additional general priest classes now official to the FORGOTTEN
REALMS campaign setting: crusaders, monks, mystics, and shamans.
Suitable for all levels of play.
CONDITION
This accessory is in Good to Very Good condition. The cover has heavy wear all over including corner and edge wear, creases, including a couple of big ones on the front (see scan above). The back binding has a deep surface tear, but is still sturdy. The inside shows light overall wear, moderate wear at the corners and edges, and the back page was glued to the back along the binding at the factory, so it is attached to the back rather than to the binding, this leaves a discolored gap between the last two pages.
