So I know it's a little against the fluff to come up with portfolio stat block (or whatever it should be called) for Tabris, as it's specifically stated in chronicles of the righteous pdf that some do worship him but get nothing from it. But after looking at making a cleric+Envoy of Balance build, and happened to be looking in the CoR I thought how good a fit he would be. Below is my initial go at coming up with some ideas
Tabris, The Chronicler
Angel empyreal lord of Truth, Balance and Exploration
Alignment: N
Symbol: ?
Temples: libraries, secluded ruins, public forums
Worshippers: scholars, revolutionists,
Minions: Bythos aeon, counterpoised owls, Nosoi Psychopomp, theletos aeon
Domains: Knowledge, Luck, Madness, Rune, Travel
Subdomains: Aeon, Exploration, Loss, Toil, Revelation, Isolation, Truth
Favoured Weapon: ?
So first off, while a very small thing I'm unsure whether it's still right to refer to him as an empyreal lord or not. Maybe putting "(former)" after lord. Aside from maybe something involving a tattered grey angel wing I have no idea on a symbol. For temples I just translated his above themes into places which feels a little like cheating. Very few ideas for worshippers and again nothing for favoured weapon.
All ideas or criticisms welcome.
As a demigod, he should only offer 4 domains, and 4 subdomains.
Ah I didnt know that thanks.
Domains: Knowledge, Madness, Rune, Travel
Subdomains: Aeon, Exploration, Toil, Truth
Took out the ones I was least sure about.
So it doesn't concern Tabris that engaging in the world through his empowered followers doesn't bias and invalidate any observations he might make, and basically betrays his own basic tenets. Not only that, any of his followers observational neutrality is also being corrupted by accepting his divine magic.
Sorry, but "normalizing" him into just another flavored divine source breaking his concept just to add another flavor to the thousand flavors of divinity seems wrong.
I understand your feelings, there are a lot of deity options, why turn this mysterious character into another. Especially as the only time he's alleged to have done anything after his exile, was to try and complete the book of the damned.
I didn't mean to step on any toes it's just meant for my own use. Out the many options only two felt like they kind of fit what an envoy of balance is alleged to do (Goreze and Breigh).
Out of curiosity though would it change your mind at all if those who he did give power to were sworn to only observation of events and presumably self-defence?
