#1 Speech Aug 22, 2004 23:07:46	I am wondering/looking for ideas on how a greyhawk god (specifically Incabulous) would expand their portfolio/influence. In the campaign I am designing...Incabulous is looking to include corruption into his powers of influence. What I am thinking is for Incabulous to actually have a hand in corruption on a grand scale thus inheriting that portfolio-but I am not that familiar with how the greyhawk cosmos works in the way of domains/portfolios/etc. I am aware that the gods are not dependant on their worshippers(as in OTHER worlds) but I haven't found very much in the way of how it all works. Any suggestions/info would be greatly appreciated.

Anyhoo to gain corruption I'd first see if any god already has that, which I don't think is the case. Second a GH deity can acquire a portfolio bt extreme means, Pyremius got his fire portfolio by killing Ranet and Wee Jas iirc got her death portfolio when so many people were killed in the Twin Cataclysms by magic. With that in mind, yes, all Incabulous needs to do is perpetrate a great Flanaess wide corruption. In keeping with his other portfolios I'd suggest having his cult become drug dealers, distributing something powerfully addictive and popular for its effects. Make it so only the cult of Incab can produce the stuff and soon his church will be the place to go for many many poor souls to get their fix.
