Sune, Goddess of Love and Beauty | Forgotten Realms Deities | The Dungeoncast Ep.221

[@TrueTydin]

My boyfriend plays a sunite. His character is wonderfully flamboyant and always well groomed! Always keeping the rest of the team waiting while he indulges in his morning pastries while bathing in the finest oils in a rose petal filled bath.

[@gustaafargoan]

Sounds very annoying.

[@TrueTydin]

@@gustaafargoan it was lol. i didnt make them actually wait though,he just got a lil inspiration for the troubles at the cost of the others potentially getting disadvantage on a charisma roll. oddly enough they loved it cus it meant theyd always get epic rolls from their healer, and stuff to bitch about in character for the lols

[@aliceofspades]

Love you guys! Thank you for doing Sune and her church justice! Hopefully there'll be a lot more Sunite Peace Clerics now! :)

[@Thedungeoncast]

I love you too. -Brian

Sune Paladin: uses the power of love to persuade the enemy to not fight. Black Dragon: acid breath

[@fistimusmaximus6576]

or another abomination uses tongue..

[@OhThatRobin]

Literally my paladin last week but against an ancient red dragon. Thankfully our dwarven cleric of Moradin came in clutch with a nat20 guiding bolt to its face

[@Ragitsu]

Clerics/Priests have protective magic, y'know. "Good" is not automatically "stupid".

[@KingOfMadCows]

Heartwarder was a prestige class in 3.5e. It gave +3/4 base attack bonus progression and full casting progression for any casting class. It had some pretty steep requirements but it gave permanent stacking Charisma bonuses up to +5. Also, the stats for gods in 3e/3.5e books are for their avatars. And gods of different divine ranks are able to manifest different numbers of avatars. Sune is a Greater Deity, so she can manifest up to 10 avatars at the same time.

[@sirgideonofnir6840]

I didn't think I'd like this goddess but this video has convinced me to make sure she's in my homebrew!

[@ErinWi]

No love burns as bright as the Will/Brian bromance. Anyway, the ep inspired me: a PC who is a devoted paladin of Sune whose physical ugliness and martial prowess underscores his big heart, shyness, and high charisma. He wants to experience a great love but doesn't believe he is worthy of it, so he adventures in order to help others in the world find what he will not.

[@Voromire1]

LOVE THIS LOVE YOU LOVE D&D AND LOVE SUNE PRAISE THE SUN!

[@elysiomage9453]

Love this. Sune is just another avatar of the show

[@elysiomage9453]

What she looks like depends on the Beholder

[@koosh138]

Sounds like a wholesome love as opposed to lusty love. Sex might be involved, but there's far more to it.

[@bosshogg8447]

The more "dirty" version would be the goddess Sharess.

[@Mortablunt]

The opposite of Malcanthet.

[@mwil2495]

Love you guys, look forward to seeing you each week. For Clerics of Sune I’d go with Life and Peace domains.

[@Thedungeoncast]

I love you too. -Brian

[@budgetseagull]

11:27 I've always wanted to play a paladin/bard of sune who protects the local brothel and sex workers and heals them from the occasional outbreak of a venereal diseases.

[@jorge2060shake]

Love you guys! Our world needs more Sune love for sure!

[@Thedungeoncast]

I love you too. -Brian

[@DragonGunzDorian]

I have liked and commented! I continue to serve the dashing dungeoncast! Greetings again milords. It is most fitting to talk of the goddess of love when the day of love draws near. This paladin will take this opportunity to do what he always does, I shall proclaim my love for knowledge and laughter once more! For in knowledge I am granted the gift of an expanded mind, and greater power to strike down those who follow evil's might. For in laughter, I am granted the gift of allowing the stress of life to wash away for the moment, and enjoy a smile on my face and a good laugh. I do proclaim my love for the lords of knowledge and laughter will and brian! Although this paladin often stands alone against the forces of darkness, I am comforted by these weekly boons of knowledge and laughter. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to prepare for valentines day. I'm going to mope and eat chocolate on my couch like a sad sack couch potatoe because I have no one. Note to self, I should have the local blacksmith let out my armor around the waist. Im going to be eating a lot of chocolate. Welp, that bit was fun. One question about the beholders beautification beam. If it turns someone into their ideal standard of beauty, then what happens if the beholder blasts a narcissist who already views themselves as the most beautiful person ever (no matter how ugly they may, or may not be) with said beautification beam? Not sure if this counts as a fantasy physics question, or not,

[@darkishphoenix]

The Sune cleric in the game I DM is a traveling matchmaker, which I always prepare for when the party travels to new locations.

[@asahaworth4596]

I love you guys. your content has defiantly taken my DMing to the S+ tier!

[@Thedungeoncast]

I love you too. -Brian

[@quietlistener7054]

This was very helpful! I've got a PC that was an outcast from a massive past tragedy (full blown hobo), and happened to come across a priestess of Sune in his drifting. She bathed him, gave him food, gave him kindness and patience, introduced him to the decadence of the world, and encouraged him to forgive himself and others. I kind of figured that the temple would whole heartedly act as a kind of halfway house, especially in a smaller town. He's now a Paladin of the Ruby Rose, and stumbles around doing his best to spread the good word and pay it foward to others. The comment about the pyramid scheme made me laugh, pretty much!

[@CleverPsuedonym1]

Love you guys a ton! Way to tactfully tackle some touchy topics, you two!

[@Thedungeoncast]

I love you too. -Brian

[@1001HELL]

First of all. I love you guys. Second. I now really want to make a sailor moon style cleric of Sune that fights evil with the power of love and friendship.

[@Thedungeoncast]

I love you too. -Brian

[@epiccthulu]

Well, in the novel The Sentinel, Sune gifted her Chosen ( chosen as in Carrier of a divine spark) an ability to launch homing firebolts that burnt her foes with flames as hot as Sune’s passion. Also, charming and mind control is a consistent thing in the realms....

[@CharlemagneSupernova]

Valentine's came early this year.

[@adamhaas2760]

Dude second time watching this and I’m still loving it.

[@julianpeppers1889]

My first proper PC was a Sune life cleric! (Currently still playing her) She's actually aromantic, and had a whole crisis/character arc about it. Although life clerics and especially those following this goddess may get pegged as peaceful healers, my girl will freely dish out violence in the name of protecting her loved ones.

[@patrickcoleman2954]

I love you both dearly! You make my Sundays bright : )

[@luluburch7500]

I can imagine a sandals all inclusive type resort ran by clerics of Sune, it be fun to tell your players all this indulgence is all included but at the end they are "encouraged" to make a substantial donation

[@derzweig205]

One important point you guys missed: Sune has always been somewhat defined by her relation to Hanali Celanil, Lliira and Sharess. For example, the 2E-ish version would be considered less flirtatious because she had that rivalry with Hanali and Sharess wasn't really that important. So a (half-)elven worshiper would've been an interesting character to play, since they actually could get into trouble for this prudish / weird behavior.

[@RaoGung]

Good information - though I'm used to pronunciation of 'SOON' as noted by Ed Greenwood as the intended pronunciation. Though 'SUE-nee' is now an acceptable way of saying it due to accents and dialects.

[@OhThatRobin]

Ayyy I’ve got a paladin who worships Sune! This is gonna be a fun episode

[@bluecat1462]

Have you guys seen Ginny Di’s Cleric of Sune? The character works as a professional matchmaker. It’s both brilliant and hilarious.

Sune priests are Glinda from wicked XD

[@ligaventureiros]

Great job, guys. Recently my players entered a pocket plan with a large complex run by followers of Sune and I was very concerned with these issues of flirting and harassment, but the players got into the story and it was excellent. The Price of Beuty, in Candlekeep Mysteries allows you to explore some of these issues.

[@pretentiousname01]

All I am thinking of is how Sune would totally want to make Sandford great again. For the greater good!

[@julianpeppers1889]

In regards to romance, i think it's a matter of knowing your party's comfort and limits with certain things. Like, my DM does a "fade to black" for "intimate" encounters, we know they happen but it's not explicit or roleplayed through. We also don't allow non-consensual sexual encounters as a rule.

[@moonringXD]

Fantastic video as always! you should do a video on the melhornd Pantheon and there war with the imaskar empire! Also, shout out to demogorgon and his Ixitxachitls homies!

[@TenkaiHimura]

Hi guys, just wanted to say thank you for your great work, love your show. I just recently got back into DnD after about a two decade break and am really enjoying it. Adding a quick question here: What do you prefer in Chracter-Progression/Multiclassing: "Power-Gaming"-Choices or choosing what suits or is interesting role-play-wise? Or a mix in between both? I currently play a Tiefling Life-Cleric (Lv3) and going to Multiclass into Celestial Warlock. Because for one I'd like to try it and because it kind a fits into the nerrative.

What are the winged kobolds? 'Cause now I wanna play one that's a follower of Sune. I'll be the party's scaly cupid.

They’re called Urds, but there isn’t an official variant for them yet. I’d drop the Grovel, Cower, and Beg ability to give them a flight speed equal to their walking speed. Love that idea for a character.

She’s like what Slaanesh would be if it wasn’t avarice, excess, torture and less taking of souls of a certain race......ironic that Sune is followed by elves as Slaanesh connected to elder.

Clerics of Sune can fight... they just don't aim for the face!

[@dreadpirateshanx5288]

I have a Scourge Aasimar Zealot Barbarian that worships Sune. He has long fiery red hair and is very affectionate with everyone. He was inspired by old sword and sorcery films and looks the part.

[@alexfrank5331]

A Sunite is the most difficult role to play because the concept of genuine love is so foreign to us. Our society glorifies violence and censors love. So we usually have a very shallow understanding of love informed mostly by cheesy rom-com and pornography. lol

Don't worry Will and Brian, our campaigns are overrun with romance arcs. It's a strange juxtaposition with our inter-party conflict and wanton destruction.

To be fair, I've never had problems on all male tables with Sunite characters. Mixed tables on the other hand were problematic, a lot of female D&D players misinterpreting Heartwarder spells as "Date gRape" and stuff, it was annoying, even if I tried to focus on art and courtly love.
