Closest Greyhawk god to Erastil


Conversions


I'm converting some things for my home Greyhawk Campaign and play Pathfider rules with Greyhawk gods. I'm looking for advice about the closest god to Erastil.

Thanks to those who know of both pantheons....

Oops, I guess this should go in conversions!


Ehlonna seems a quick and easy swap in, but other slightly less commonly known ones could work as well. Obad-Hai and Berei also have similarities.

Silver Crusade

St. Cuthbert seems the closest in my head, on account of the "well-meaning but grumpy old man" parallel.


in one of the books from the "Races of X" series, most likely races of the wild. i think there was an elven god who governed the hunt, had a longbow as a favored weapon and offered a very similar series of domains to Erastil. but i don't think he was good aligned, and he supported hunting intelligent game for the sheer thrill of it. such as most creatures of humanoids, dragons, and outsiders.

Yep, St Cuthbert, hand's down. Especially if you have read the Core Beliefs article Sean K Reynolds wrote on him in Dragon #358 & also get the chance to read the Erastil article he wrote in AP #32. Actually, when I run Pathfinder games, I use more of the St. Cuthbert stuff than the Erastil stuff, given the somewhat misogynistic spin people tend to take from the Erastil article.

The other great thing about St. Cuthbert is that you can play him like Red Forman and it's almost 100% accurate. :D

Somehow, I can never look at St. Cuthbert the same way ever again!


St Cuthbert is not red forman he is Sean Connery


When I converted (parts of) Shackled City to Golarion, I used Erastil as a stand-in for St. Cuthbert.


Yes I'm weighing in with St. Cutbert also.


depemds if you want the nature hunter theme (ehlonna, Obad-Hai, or phaulkon ) or similar outlook (perhaps st. cuthbert)
