D&DG Worshippers 2: Babylonians

Babylonian Worshippers

So, following on from the previous post, here's the table for Babylonian worshippers:

Encounter	Cleric	Druid	Fighter	Ranger	Magic-user	Illusionist	Thief	Assassin	Monk	Bard
Anu	1-25		1-16
Anshar	26-50		17-31
Druaga			32-44		1-11			1-100
Girru			45-58		12-42
Istar	51-69			1-100	43-61
Marduk			59-75		62-73					1-100
Nergal	70-100		76-85		74-89
Ramman			86-100		90-100	1-100

This brings a problem with the system to the fore: there are no Babylonian deities listed with thieving skills (other than Druaga who presumably inherits the thieving abilities based on his assassin level).

In fact, this problem was there last week because none of the listed American deities have levels in the Paladin class and, in fact, neither do the Babylonian ones. That's not such a big deal - most campaigns can trundle along without paladin NPCs - but no thieves seems an unlikely social setup.

Looking at this I tried doing the table based on alignment, with the weights being the deity's hit points - a direct link back to Zak's original idea, albeit with a different methology. Here's the result:

Encounter	LG	NG	CG	LN	N	CN	LE	NE	CE
Anu	1-43	1-32	1-62	1-30	1-41	1-41	1-34	1-25	1-32
Anshar								26-44	33-56
Druaga							35-53
Girru	44-73	33-54
Istar	74-100	55-74	63-100	31-49	42-67	42-67	54-75	45-60	57-76
Marduk				50-75
Nergal							76-100	61-79	77-100
Ramman		75-100		76-100	68-100	68-100		80-100

It's okay and is another way to slice the data but in this case I'm using the "worshippers' alignment" entry for each deity and, looking ahead at the Celts, that might pose a problem too. Looking slightly further ahead to the Cthulhu Mythos, it isn't going to make for a particularly interesting  range of options (spoiler: Chaotic Evil is what I'm talking about).

But for now it's okay.
