Who Is the Most Neutral God in D&D?

[@MrDe4dGuy34]

Mystra can’t go an era without getting slain by another god it seems. She’s on her third or fourth, if you include Mystrl, incarnation and people still want to stab her.

[@esperthebard]

I also found that peculiar. Not sure if it's an interesting quirk that she has a repeating tragedy, or if it's just declining storytelling quality.

She really should have reincarnation as a domain.

[@BoTFranK16]

She knows people will get mad if she just changes how magic works all at once just whenever, she instead uses the excuse of her "death" for a brand new security update on the weave, for "everyone's" benefit and safety of course :v)

That list of "true neutral" pop-culture characters is making me lose braincells. Tyrion, Snape, and Treebeard are NOT true neutral

[@joearnold6881]

Fangorn was neutral, but the D&D alignment system doesn’t fit in Tolkien. Hobbits (other than the Fellowship ones and bilbo) could be considered neutral in the same way, Neutral like regular people: mostly minding their own business and maybe even looking the other way when bad things happen to others, but capable of doing good or evil But yeah definitely not “True Neutral”. Honestly I’d call Illuvatar true neutral in a way close to the D&D meaning, tho Tolkien, having been spoiled by being convinced to be Christian, wouldnt see it that way. He somehow thought the Christian god wasn’t evil, for instance 🙄

[@greyingproductions]

To be fair to 5th editions lack of domains, they use them in a different way (mechanically) then earlier editions of the game. With the Subclass systems in place through 5e it makes sense for the gods to be condensed into their prime attributes so that their domain fits into a subclass the cleric wants to choose. Earlier editions had your god grant you additional weapons that you could use and informed the type of spells you could prepare while 5e has your god grant you a domain filled with abilities and domain spells for you to use.

Why not cover the Lady of Pain? Even though she is not technically a god (even punishes those who attempt to worship her as this could eventually turn her into a true god, which she apparently doesn't want), she is still divine somehow and Sigil is effectively her godly domain. She seems to be the epitome of True Neutrality along with an expression of what pain and suffering is caused by the clash of all the alignments across the planes. According to her origin story, she was daughter of another god, but didn't want to be a god so took a dip in the River Styx to forget her divinity. So she really does have divine origins.

As someone who has only played 5e, could you make a ranking video or overview of each edition with pros and cons?

[@leifcatt]

I started with the blue boxed set in 1980. The changes up to 3.5 were mostly building off of older editions changing somethings, strengthening others and adding or changing lore. I don't know what the heck happened in 4th edition. To me it's the one edition I avoid except for some monsters. 5th edition has nerfed a lot of stuff and in many ways lost its grit to softer builds and themes. This is the corporate hand stirring the pot. Weaken the game and making it more cartoonish to attract new customers. the best thing about D&D is it's your game. You can ignore, modify or create new rules to fit your game. You are in charge of how gritty or fluffy your setting is. When you think of the core rulebooks, think of them as guides rather than rigid law. I still like a lot of stuff from 1st edition.

Have you looked at how the deities are presented in "Explorer's Guide To Wildemount"?

I think this series would be improved if you clarified the videos in it are specifically for the Forgotten Realms in their titles, or removed that limitation and discussed D&D's deities as a whole. Either'd work really.

[@esperthebard]

I've gone back and forth on the best way to do titles. Ended up settling on just "D&D" for more traction and easier for people to recognize what it is, then I put Forgotten Realms on the thumbnail. But I'm still in doubt. Maybe it could be "Who Is the Most Neutral God in D&D? (Forgotten Realms)" My worry there is the title is getting a little too long.

[@Nope_handlesaretrash]

​@@esperthebarddamned if you do and all that. For the casual audience these videos will be most attracting the Forgotten Realms and D&D are synonymous. Your announcement in the video, and perhaps the byline in the description is good enough. Nobody in 2023 is keeping up with Greyhawk for example.

[@TheGlock30owner]

Deities are always setting specific and don't have any overlap unless specifically noted. So covering D&D deities as a whole would still need to be divided up by settings.

[@jacopoarmini7889]

I think that a good "true neutral" god in real life is the hindu Vishnu. Yes, he is good in character, but he is concerned mostly with maintaining balance in the cosmos, he is the preserver after all. When an age of humanity becomes too orderly, he sends a chaotic avatar to make things freer, and when the world is too chaotic he sends a lawful avatar to bring order. Too bad he isn't in D&D.

Most of these "true" neutral had strong tendencies chaotic or lawful. I wonder if Vesper read most of the Forgotten Realms books because true neutral is an ideal idea. Neutral Gods generally follow the good idea of self-preservation to fight evil from becoming the dominant force. Neutral or Good Gods generally don't try to become an overt dominant power.

[@neltymind]

15:23 In regards to Waukeen I find it pretty weird to make the godess of wealth and money true neutral. I can see how it makes sense that such a deity should be neutral on the good/evil axis as money can be used for good or ill. Although even this is debateable as you could make good points why money is evil. But it gets really weird on the chaotic/lawful axis. Money is always based on a contract which entails basically an entire society. Paper and digital money even more so, but even a currency that is based on valuable metals like gold kinda is. Gold has no inherent value. Just because something is rare, doesn't mean it automatically has value. Society just kinda agreed on gold being valuable and a sign of status. If people stopped doing that, gold-based currencies would become wortless. Coins have to be minted, given out and they come with regulations. Wealth thrives most in places with the rule of law because being an entrepeneur in a lawless land usually dosn't go very well as someone strong is likely to come along and take everything from you. More complicated forms of econmy (like the proto-capitalis mercantilism in the rich cities on the Sword Coast) produces far more wealth than simple ones. And the more advanced such economies and societies become, the more orderly and lawful they have to be to continue their function. If I were to design a deity of money and wealth, I would definetely make them lawful. Either lawful neutral or lawful evil.

[@williamhenry8914]

Wait a minute, didn't Karsus want Mystra's power to save Netheril and potentially the whole world rather than for himself?

[@Crazor2000]

he did it to combat a threat that was threating netheril, but that doesn't make him nessary a good person. the laws of Netheril empire, and by exstention his city were flawed, as it was an magocracy With an class system that threated non-human and non mages as second class citizens He also was arrogant, believing that the gods were nothing more than people who had mastered magic that wasn't discovered yet and when he casts his spell that he wielded that same magic. Here's a quote about his personality: _"He acted like an excited child most of the time, and his tantrums were to be avoided at all cost. He could be warm and friendly or ruthless and tyrannical; there really wasn't anything in between."_

[@williamhenry8914]

@@Crazor2000 Netheril was one of the most powerful polities in Faerun and they were being smashed the Phaerimm, who turned fertle land into desert that persists to this day I don't know for certain if the elves, Shou Lung or gods could have stopped them, but the war lasted decades and no one had intervened to resolve this apocalyptic crisis, which leads me surmise they were unable to help rather than unwilling to. So imo this is a world-ending crisis. Therefore if one god has to take an L and reincarnate to preserve the common good then so be it. And yes magocractic tyranny is bad, but being gobbled up or melted by slugs is worse. I'm sure he was an arrogant guy, most powerful people are. But it's clear he acted for the benefit of something larger than himself.

[@Crazor2000]

​@@williamhenry8914 yes, but good intentions does not make a good person. actions do matter as much as intention. He spent over an decade developing a 12th level spell, so he could have made many things that could have helped win the war if he spent his efforts on other spells. why did he make the spell so he could get the power of a god? Part of it was because he wanted to stop the Phaerimm, but it was not the sole reason. His second reason was because he was wanted the powers of the gods, and believed this spell would make him an equal. a quote:_"greed for the power of the deities themselves caused the destruction of his home, his family, his friends, and his people."_ It was not soly for just his people, it was also a goal to extend his own power into the realm of the deities. i wouldn't call him a bad guy, and his goal of getting rid of the phaerimm was noble, but i would hardly call him a good person. his actions were reckless, killed a lot of people (although unintentionally), and didn't care for the consequenses for the magic until it caught up with him. heck, he nearly crashed his city before his big spell when experimenting with heavy magic.

[@williamhenry8914]

​@@Crazor2000 Good intentions are the basis of what makes a good person, that shouldn't be controversial. Good people try to do good, and even if they fail they are not evil for trying to do good. There are further considerations but that's a baseline anyone can agree with. As for him being selfish, I'm sure you can find some people who thought he was. But why should we believe them? Powerful people always have critics, so how do we know they were not themselves simply jealous or misguided? Primary sources can be liars too, or just wrong. As for recklessness, it was indeed but there was a world-ending crisis going on. When your choices are take a reckless gamble and maybe survive or play it 'safe' and the Phaerimm destroy Faerun, then its time to be reckless. And it's great he was because the Phaerimm were defeated and Faerun survived.

[@Crazor2000]

​@@williamhenry8914 the part was not from some random npc quote, it was the writers themself calling him selfish. you know the autors of the book that describe netheril. there is a difference between a character in story calling him selfish, in the book, and the people who designed him. I think that is kinda a reliable narrator, since it's people who made him. You have to keep in mind that the is a difference between a primairy source in an historical text, and the authors who made up the character in the book describing his actions as a guide on what he is like and what his background is. they are calling him childish, greedy for power of the gods and a tyrant. You talk about that his intentions were good, but good intentions can lead to horrible actions to justify it for "the greater good" or doing something that seems good in the moment but has horrible consequenses. it leads to a very, "The end justifies the means" way of doing things. sure having good intentions can make it feel less bad, but it doesn't justify always the action. In this case, his reckless attempt to grab at the powers of a god, got thousands of people killed and nearly destroyed the weave. i get giving people benefit of the doubt, but when does a good intention really justify the deaths that he unintentionally created? and you talk about how he was great because the Phaerimm were defeated and faerun suvived, but that was not thanks to him. in fact he made situation actually worse. the phearimm weren't defeated by him, in fact his volly basically ended the empire of netheril forever and killed everybody in the floating cities that crashed down thanks to his choice, and giving the Phaerimm freedom to focus on the next target, which was an dwarven empire they destroyed. all those deaths are because he messed up and lost the war. in fact the once that defeated the phaerimm was the Sharn, basically creatures that hate life draining magic, and the war between them resulted in the sharn sealing the Phaerimm later with what was called the "Sharn wall". I wouldn't describe him as evil, but he has done a lot of things that destroyed peoples life, killed them and let to widespread destruction due to his own recklessness

[@neltymind]

22:42 Is Ao really the most neutral deity, though? He is clearly neutral on the good/evil axis, no argument there. But it seems to me like he is not totally neutral on the lawful/chaotic axis and prefers the former. It's quite telling that the only god he didn't send to Toril during the time of troubles was Helm, who is the embodiment of lawfulness. He got really angry because the tables of fate were stolen e.g. someone endagered the previous order. Ao is lawful neutral or at least he is true neutral with a tendency towards law.

[@cleaver3519]

IMO the lady of pain would be the most neutral as she doesn't want worship does little to interfere in the philosophical conundrums the factions embody. doesn't seem to can about anything but the city of doors and its subjects. she doesn't talk she just arrives and does what she does. she may be less or more than a god, nothing is said. also, another one would be primus. my list wouldn't have AO due to being too lawful or karsus for not really being a god. IMO Ao is the embodiment of law, the lady of pain neutrality and thurizdun of chaos.
