Deities rule the various aspects of human existence: good and evil, law and chaos, life and death, knowledge and nature. Across the world, people and creatures worship a great number of varied deities. Most often these deities are worshiped among the common races, by adventurers, and by villains.
Dieties are often the most powerful creatures of Dungeons and Dragons. Each deity has a deific rank, holy symbol, portfolio or area of concern, and can grant domains to worshipers. They can also populate their realm with equipment items related to their history.
Deities and clerics are tightly coupled, since deities grant spells to clerics. Paladins likewise are coupled to lawful good deities for their power.
A deity can confer an AC bonus (or curse if you're in a realm of an enemy) and +DAM modifiers (depending on the god`s STR). The amount depends on your WIS score (one of the beneficial uses of the ability) and the god`s level.
