Faiths & Avatars

Faiths & Avatars is a 2-edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons accessory for the Forgotten Realms.
__NOTOC__
==Description==
Faiths & Avatars detailed the deities of the Faerûnian pantheon. This comprehensive resource includes detailed descriptions of 45 gods, alongside the introduction of four new priest sub-classes. Each deity entry features a thorough presentation, encompassing the deity's background, statistical data, and personal history. Additionally, the book details the physical manifestation of these gods in the mortal realm, known as Avatars, which represents the form most likely to be encountered by adventurers.
The book outlines each deity's religious organization, providing insights into the church's hierarchy, core beliefs, daily practices, principal places of worship, affiliated religious orders, and the specifics of priestly attire, both for ceremonial purposes and for adventurers. Moreover, it details each deity's holy days and significant rituals. Faiths & Avatars also offers an array of specific spells available to their followers.
The final section of the book introduces four specialized priest sub-classes: crusaders, monks, mystics, and shamans, each with distinct roles and abilities.
Faiths & Avatars serves as a definitive source for information on the range of Lesser to Greater human gods within the Faerûnian pantheon, equipping players and Dungeon Masters with an abundance of spells and unique powers tailored for clerics of each distinct faith.
