I didn't think of that until after I already created them, and I like them more NOT being the same. I made him an Air-Genasi because I felt it worked well thematically and it also allowed each of his brothers to be the same race (and yes I am aware that I didn't do the same with his sisers, but well. I gave him the Folk-hero Background because he toppled Cronus (a 'tyrant') from his throne. Zeus - Folk-Hero, Air-Genasi, Sorcerer (Storm) Lastly, this IS my first post here, so apologies if I did something wrong. I also did my best to include a reasonable background for each class. I also shied away from the Warlock, Cleric, and Paladin classes since those all required a greater entity to give them powers. But here my own two-cents (slightly-modified after looking over everyone elses comments (so apologizes if that is considered cheating/wrong)). I realise that I am late to this discussion thread.

Aphrodite- changling college of glamour bard, obviously.

Ares- half-orc berserker barbarian-battlemaster fighter multiclass.

Artemis- wood elf monster slayer ranger, with an oathbow.

Athena- Human eldritch knight fighter, with the ability to blow up Zeus's head.

Hephaestus- Glyph of Warding Dwarf battle smith artificer.

Hera- Volo's Guide-Orc lawful stupid enchanter wizard.

Apollo- Aasimar Arcane Archer, entertainer background.

Hermes- wood elf horizon walker with winged boots.

Hades- Human necromancer, with summon lessser and greater demons spell, as well as infernal calling.

Zeus- Human evoker wizard with true polymorph, shapechange, control weather, lightning bolt, thunderwave and all other lightning/thunder themed spells.

Aphrodite - Changeling Divine Soul Sorceress.Artemis - Wood Elf Ranger, bow focused obviously.Hephaestus - Mountain Dwarf Inventor Wizard.Apollo - Half-elf Valor Bard mixed with paladin, archery focused.Hermes - Forest Gnome Arcane trickster with mobility feat.Zeus - Human Lore Bard with Poly morph and Lightning Bolt (he was a lover.Her helm creates an anti-magic shell whenever she wishes, through which she can cast spells. Her shield has a medusa head upon it, and those looking at it may be turned to stone just as if it were alive. Her weapon does 5-50 points of damage per strike. She shape changes at will, moves as a blink dog, and she never misses her target. She is often seen with an owl on her shoulder. He has also been known to plague the worshipers of his sect with enchanted monsters of random types when they have transgressed in some way.Īthena - lvl 20 Cleric, lvl 14 Druid, lvl 20 Fighter, lvl 12 Wizard, lvl 12 Sorcerer, lvl 12 Bard - Athena usually appears as a beautiful woman wearing a war helm and carrying a spear and shield. This god rewards the prayers of his clerics with material things like springs in dry lands, water when needed in the form of rain, or too much water to his clerics' enemies. In battle, the god often puts a watery haze around his body that acts like a + 5 ring of protection. Poseidon fights with a +5 trident that hits for 4-40 points twice per melee round this weapon can absorb any single spell in any given melee round and return a like spell at the desire of the god. Poseidon is responsible for the creation of all horses and he rewards his high priests and high priestesses for exceptional services with a paladinquality horse for their use. His anger at coastal towns who fail to sacrifice to him monthly may cause him to react in one of three ways: he may take all of the young males of the town in blood sacrifice, he may reduce the town to rubble in an earthquake, or he may flood the town and the surrounding countryside. At will, he shape changes, summons water beings, and creates life in any form (often originating new life forms at a whim).

Poseidon - lvl 12 Cleric, lvl 12 Druid, lvl 13 Fighter, lvl 17 Wizard, lvl 17 Sorcerer, lvl 10 Bard - This god appears as a huge human and may command any non-divine creature of the water. The monster will then fight for Zeus until dead or 48 hours elapse. When his wounds spill blood on the earth, the blood forms a random sixth level monster. He wields a spear that does 6-60 points of damage. Zeus is able to simultaneously attack and cast a 30 point lightning bolt each melee round. He disdains the use of ormor, but will use 0 +5 shield, his Aegis. Zeus - lvl 25 Cleric, lvl 17 Fighter, lvl 20 Wizard, lvl 20 Sorcerer, lvl 15 Bard - This god usually appears as a human bearded male of powerful physique.
