{{FRWiki article|Deity}}
A '''deity''' is a member of a pantheon (or other demigod or entity) that is worshipped on [[Faerun]] (and other worlds).

At character creation, one must choose a deity from a list of 105 [[Forgotten Realms]] deities. These are common deities worshipped, and do not include pantheons from remote areas like [[Mulhorand]] and [[Chult]], or other powers like archdevils and paragons. If a character's current deity is not compatible with his current alignment or class, the deity will need to be changed to one that actually fits the character.

==Deity List==
The following deities are used in NWN2. Players may also opt to worship no deity at all (unless class requires one).

==Notes==
*Descriptions and icons for each deity will be included. [http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums/viewpost.html?topic=486769&post=4191128&forum=95]
*Module makers may alter the deity list in the [[nwn2_deities.2da]] file as desired. The 2da includes a deity description field.

==NWN comparison==
*In NWN, deity selection was limited to an optional text box. It had no real functionality in the game (unless a module builder scripted its use), so the restrictions normally associated with Divine spellcasting classes were simply not used.
