[EDIT]Reread your post, if Gilean and Takhisis are even half as good as this, I will still be impressed. However, most of the Greater deities that created races generally have one more level than other greater deities. Corellian, Moradin, Yolanda, and Garl Glittergold all have one level more than other greaters, such as Boccob.

I've been meaning to ask Green Giant to do the Dragonlance gods for some time, I'm glad he did it anyway. Great job. The Divine Ranking may be a little high though. 20 is approaching overgodhood where caring for worshipers is not important, and Paladine does nothing else but fight for his worshipers.
There is a reason why I've posted the deities with such high divine rankings. There are only 21 (or 19 now) deities in Krynn being supported by all the creatures who worship gods as compared to those of Faerun in which we have racial deities for most of the main PC races as well as other Pantheons from other worlds. With such few deities to offer your worship to, its only natural that they would have such high divine rankings.
On the same note, I should have also mentioned that Gilean has the bonus feat and skill points of that of a human.
Perhaps I'm missing something. What could anyone gain by giving a god stats, besides having something to shoot for should they want to try and pull a Raistlinesque hostile takeover of the heavens?
I never really bought into the gods having stats. I mean come on, they're gods for crying out loud. Do you really need to stat out something that says "poof, you're dead.", and that's really what happens. Gods are all-knowing, all-seeing, infinitely powerful. To put a number on that is in my opinion the #1 mistake that TSR, WoTC, Weis, et al ever made in the DragonLance realm of D&D.

That's exactly what I wondered when they gave stas to dragons like Malys. What palyer would ever want to confront her and what reasonable DM whould allow such a unique creature to perish?

I'm sort of new to Dragonlance, but from what I gather the power of deities on Krynn don't depend on the number of worshippers, as say Toril. It depends on other things, things that I'm not really sure of. Geez, where's Kuje when you need him...
Besides, if divine power depended on worshipers, Krynn is really kind of underpopulated. The largest nation on Ansalon only had some 800,000 people, and that was before the War of the Lance. I would imagine this being much lower now. The main worshippers of Paladine, the elves are much worse. The combined population of Qualinesti and Silvanesti is about 87,000, and once again, that was before the War of the Lance.
...I'm sorry for disagreeing GG, we're still buddies right?

Not to mention that essentially noone worshipped the Gods for some 350 years.
I think rank 20 is just fine for the 3 Greater Deities. Mishakal, Reorx, and Sargonnas would probably be around 18. Since all the other gods are Intermediate gods, maybe make them all rank 15.
Chaos/Ionthas would probably be something like 25. The High God would be somehting like 30, or maybe even 40.

I actually use deity stats to figure out how their avatars will look like as well as to determine what a deity can or cannot do. A deity of light and magic will have different abilities and classes than a deity of darkness and war as an example.

You're probably right in that the Krynnish deities don't depend on number of worshippers. So how about the fact that they are supposed to be the most powerful deities on Krynn after the High God and Chaos. DL has never been my strong suit. If I had to list it with other campaigns it would probably rank number 5 after Forgotten Realms, Birthright, Planescape, and Ravenloft.
And yes, we're still buddies.

The only thing I could add is that Paladine is described in DRAGONS OF AUTUMN TWILIGHT as "A Shining Warrior". As such, I think his Avatar should reflect that more. Chances are, I would have made him a LEvel 20 Paladin/Level 20 something else. Also, does that take into account his form as the Platinum Dragon, or should we just use the stat's of Bahaumut
I originally was going to use the stats for Bahamut and Tiamat from Deities and Demigods as a base to determine Paladine's and Takhisis' stats but I scrubbed it when I looked at both sets of deities' favored weapon. Bahamut and Tiamat have claw listed while Paladine and Takhisis have longsword and heavy mace, respectively. This led me to believe that Paladine and Takhisis true forms may be humanoid rather than draconic. However to make sure they could become dragons I made sure that they had the True Shapechange divine salient ability. Besides I can't really see Mishakal and Sargonnas going to bed with either deity if their true form were dragons.

hmm...I really like your work...but to be honest, I'm in favor of extra class levels as opposed to outsider HD. I think for Paladine, either 20 levels of Paladin, Paladin 10/Noble 10, or even Paladin 7/Crown 1/Sword 3/Rose 10. Gilean is great! The only change I'd make is to change him to a Cloistered Cleric, from Unearthed Arcana, but you might not necessarily have that book.

Chaos/Ionthas would probably be something like 25. The High God would be somehting like 30, or maybe even 40.
Actually the outsider HD may be better simply because it uses the best base attack bonuses, the best saves, and provides 8 + int mod per HD to skill points. I can't see Paladine having any levels in the Solamnic Knight PrCs but I can see his son Solinari and the other deities of moon and magic having the Wizard of High Sorcery PrC. I do own Unearthed Arcana but the cloistered cleric doesn't seem to suit Paladine, maybe Majere or Zivilyn. You read my mind in terms of divine rankings of the gods, though.

I kind of see them as Wizard 20/Wizard of High Sorcery 20 or Wizard 20/Wizard of High Sorcery 10/Archmage 5/?. They shouldn't have any divine spellcasting levels.

I'd probably place them at Wiz 20/ WoHS 10/ Loremaster 10, but that doesn't have enough flavor, if you ask me.
Paladine: I've been thinking a lot abou htings, and I think that there are basically 4 main views we've ever seen of Paladine; the Platinum Dragon, the Valiant Warrior, Fizban, and Valthonis. Fizban and Valthy are really just avatars, though. But, using these 4 different views, I've been able to come up with the Three Forms of Paladine: The Platinum Dragon, The Valiant Warrior(a Platinum Knight), and the Mystical Elf(stupid name, I know). He would have the ability to change his form, maybe as a full-round action. In excahnge for this, he would lose some class levels, but only a couple. Five at the most. Here's how I would do them:
Platinum Dragon- take Bahamut, add outsider HD and/or dragon HD until he would have the equivalent of 20 outsider HD and 38 class levels.
Valiant Warrior- either Paladin 20/Fighter 20, or maybe even Paladin 20/Crown Knight 5/Sword Knight 3/Rose Knight 10.
Mystical Elf- Sylvanesti Elven Wizard 18/Cleric 20
I would still rather prefer class levels than outsider HD, so add 5 Crown Knight levels and 15 Fighter levels to the Valiant Warrior and 2 Wizard levels, 5 War Mage levels and 12 Noble levels to the Mystical Elf.
Takhisis: Same deal as Paladine, basically. I've got only 3 avatars for her, the Dragon of All Colors and of None, The Dark Warrior, and the Dark Temptrest(alternate class elvels to HD in parenthesis).
Chromatic Dragon- Start with Tiamat, etc.
Dark Warrior- Fighter 20/Blackguard 10/Noble 8 or Fighter 16/Cleric 2/Lily Knight 10/Skull Knight 10(Fighter 20/Cleric 8/Blackguard 10/Lily 10/Skull 10).
Dark Temptrest- A High Ogre(not an Irda, and original ogre, which I use Ogre Mage stats for) Cleric 13/Wizard 13 or Cleric 8/Wizard 8/Thorn 10(Cleric 18/Wizard 18/Thorn 10).
Gilean: He's always been portrayed as a bookworm, so he instead keeps his levels, and doesn't get to change into anything. Although I do think he ought to have a dragon form...
What does everybody think of that?
The deity can cast spells from its prohibited schools as if they were not prohibited.
They give up an SDA each instead now, which is more reasonable.
I'm glad someone finally tried to do this seeing as how we're unlikely to see official versions -as far as why stat gods or powerful beings? The real question is 'why not'? This is D&D here, not real world monolithic religions. If anything the Dragonlance gods have shown that they are everything /but/ all powerful, all knowing and ever present. Raistlin intended to challenge and defeat the queen of darkness for crying out loud and obviously the gods present challenges to one another and differences in power levels: ie the entier Chaos War and the many other deity wars that took place.
And as far as statting Malys goes? Again, why not? What if a DM wants to run a fifth age campaign that centers around a group of heroes gaining the power or knowledge to defeat Malys after a long and taxing campaign? She has stats to support such an endeavour if so.
A little something I've thought up fo rthe other gods:
Mishakal: Cleric 20/Noble 20
Kiri-Jolith: Fighter 20/Paladin 20
Habbakuk: Druid 20/Mariner 20 or Druid 20/Ranger 10/Mariner 10
Majere: Monk 20/Cleric 20
Branchala: Bard 20/Loremaster 10/Cleric 10
Solinari: Abjurer 20/White Robe 10/Archmage 5/...Loremaster, Auxiliary Mage, or maybe War Mage 5
Reorx: Master 20/Fighter 20
Chislev: Druid 20/Cleric 20
Zivilyn: Cleric 20/Loremaster 10/Monk 10
Shinare: Master 20/Noble 20

I don't mind discussions on what levels DL deities might have since it might give me some ideas as well when statting them. I would avoid any uses of Solamnic Knights, Nights of Takhisis (Neraka), or Legionnaire PrCs when statting deities since they are recent developments of mortals. You've hit the spot with many of the deities' levels but there are some things I would change. I don't have Age of Mortals so I can't comment on the Mariner class for Habbakuk and Zeboim although it seems appropriate. I would change Sirrion's class levels to Sorcerer 20/Cleric 10/Rogue 10. As for Morgion, the Blighter PrC from Complete Divine seems appropriate. I just recently used it to stat Incabulos, a GH deity, and he shares some of the portfolios that Morgion does; namely plagues and diseases. So, Morgion would look like this: Cleric 20/Druid 10/Blighter 10.
Solinari and Nuitari are going to be a pain in finding a 5 level PrC that will fit and give them a nice number of 60 HD (20 outsider + 40 class levels).
Paladine dual class Cleric /wizard 40 (same for tak and Gil)
Reorx dual class fighter cleric 37
Sol, Nui, and Luni are wizard 40
and the rest....I forget.
oh, and where did you guys read that Gil is an accended diety? I'm not coming down on you or anything, I just want to hear what you heard. As far as my reference stuff goes, which includes the Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home as well as the new stuff, I thought that Gil was actually one of the few dieties actually created by the High God. The others he called out from other worlds (re third edition) or called from the Void (post third edition)
Reorx has always struck me as Krynn's version of Moradin Soulforger so I would stick with those levels given for Moradin in Deities and Demigods.
Naw...I don't think a deity should have NPC class levels. The Master class is basically a core class Expert.

Okay, I understand your point on the Knights, although the Solamnics have been around for almost as long as the Wizards of High Sorcery. And anyway, one of their patrons doesn't even fulfill the requirements...
I don't know about making Morgion a Druid. The 3 Druid patrons are Zeboim, Habbakuk, and Chislev, and it doens't seem right to me to add Druid levels to him.
Or you could advance Tiamat and Bahamut to greater deity status. It'd be interesting to see variations of Paladine and Takhisis stated up as dragons. In fact, it would definently fit Takhisis since one of her avatars, per the Legend of Huma, is a five headed dragon with all the abilities and capabilities thereof.

Gilean's mortality is rumored in the Planescape sourcebook On Hallowed Ground where he is said to have been a perfect mortal who never made a mistake. I also believe that it might have been mentioned in one of the DL sourcebooks but I can't remember which one.

You might consider say, giving Paladine 10 levels in fighter to represent his more offensive nature and another 5 levels in Paladin. There's no hard rule saying that they have to all be 20/20 or some variation of that. That's just a general guideline in Deities and Demigods - and it would fit with the notion of 'fewer gods, more supreme power'

However, Mystra doesn't have any outsider HD and so she has less HD than the average deity typically has. I could add more levels to the deities but I prefer to work under the 20 HD plus 40 class level limit unless it would be impossible to work. I thought about advancing Tiamat and Bahamut but it turned into a whole mess and I abandoned that plan. I decided to give Paladine and Takhisis shapechanging divine abilities to show their ability to change into dragons or other aspects.

Ah i never noticed that before about Mystra and same with Shar. That's very interesting. Especially with Shar considering that she's one of the two oldest deities in FR. Hrm..
Yeah I could see how it could become a mess and there's nothing wrong with Paladine's present build either. There's nothing that says you have to be a 'fighter' to represent defense or offense. The cleric levels cover that nicely.

Sorry i have not kept up on the Dragon Lance Novels so am missing many details but when did Rastlin become a God?
In the Legends Series, Raistlin made an attempt to become a god. Long story short, he succeeded- kinda. I would say more, but I don't want to spoil a very good story.
Why doesn't Paladine/Takhisis have dragon forms? I'd expect them to be like beefed-up versions of Bahamut/Tiamat. I always thought that their true forms were dragons. So it's not so much of outsiders shapeshifting into dragon forms, but dragons shapeshifting into human (etc.) forms.
oh, and where did you guys read that Gil is an accended diety? ... As far as my reference stuff goes, which includes the Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home as well as the new stuff, I thought that Gil was actually one of the few dieties actually created by the High God.
I believe besides OHG, the 2nd ed. Player's Guide to Dragonlance mentioned that High God searched for a mortal to hold/guard the Tobril and that dude was Gilean. IIRC, his reading/guardianship of the book made him into a god. (Kind of reminds you of Deneir's Metatext.)
