We’re also including a little cliff note section, just to give you a better overview of what each deity is all about. Instead the following list of dnd deities encompasses all the Forgotten Realms deities, or at least the current forgotten realms deities, since the pantheon has shifted from edition to edition. With the prevalence of homebrew pantheons and all the numerous worlds you might end up in, this dnd gods list is in no way comprehensive. D&D deities come in all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, building off a history dating back all the way to the beginning of D&D. But D&D gods have a lot of history, iconography, and lusciously crafted flavor that you can sculpt your entire persona around. I think we’ve all rolled up a cleric at one time or another and just picked a god that matched the domain you want, there’s no shame in it.
