Greek Gods as PF

[joeyfixit]

I'm starting a homebrew campaign soon. Rather than Golarion deities, which are very much intertwined with the history of that world, I'd like to do classical deities.

Has anyone ever done a complete workup of the Greek or Roman Gods using the d20/PF system? I'm talking domains and favored weapons, not so much character builds.

This helps a lot! Thanks.

Only one LG? Only one good deity for males with >15 Cha?

Well those are the 12 Olympians, there are technically more gods out there(Hades for example is not on my list, as most of the time, he is conveniently worshiped but not all the time). Not many Olympians were actually good and mostly kept their alignment related to their personality but you can feel free to switch things around.

Greek heroism is different than our modern idea of heroism, it's not about being good or evil, it's all about doing epic deeds. God of War series (video games) clearly represent that brand of heroism.

Deities And Demigods
Wizards Of The Coast
D&D 3.5 Supplement Book
(by Rich Redman, Skip Williams, James Wyatt)

Has Olympian, Pharaonic, Asgardian, and the D&D gods in it already set up. Could easily use them as a starting point of convert them over to PF for your use.
