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.

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