Depending on how you make your fluff, it can overwhelm the god. Since gods normally derive their power (and then give it out) from worshipers, the lesser god would have to provide power for many more worshipers than usual while receiving none for himself since they're not worshiping HIM.
This could screw him over, and maybe even make him call on adventurers for help. I'm taking this as a campaign idea.

>>51900310
>Worshippers pray for an end to their famine
>Lesser God blesses their crops
>Wheat is now growing out of control, consuming forests with their growth
>Biggest patches grow sentient and become Wheat golems
>Lesser God calls in party for help

I could see it. Would be rather funny, honestly.

I like this thread. It saddens me that it's kinda dying, cause this is a unique idea which I've already begun to write a full campaign on.

>God of Victory takes the day off
>Gives the job of empowering a general to the God of Chance
>General loses due to a 1 in a million chance event occurring

Just for a day?

>Deity of War, Smithing and Destruction becomes the Deity of Healing for a day.
>Doesn't know how to treat wounds, or know hows an actual healing spell works for their new followers.
>Proceeds to "heal" wounds by turning the cuts and wounds into iron.
>People are walking around with full iron arms, legs, and etc.

>>51900767
>Hey general, since when was our victory based on chance.
>Never. Something's fucky.
And so began the quest of multiple advisers and salty soldiers checking up on the god of victory.

>>51900794
So Omnissiah?

>>51900310
I would assume that he would be borrowing the greater god's power. That makes it less of a question of "does he have the power" and more "does he know how to use the power", the latter of which is what leads to >>51900342 when he doesn't know his own (temporary) strength.

>>51900850
Eh. That's now the GM's decision. However, both could lead to a VERY interesting quest for adventurers, either cleaning up or providing for the god. The party could even hold worshipers of either the replaced god as supervisors or as worshipers of the temporary god who are desperately trying to help out as being one of the only followers.

Bump for awesome ideas being given and potential awesome ideas being contributed later.

>Aphrodite takes the place of Zeus as a Sky"father"/supreme god.
Massive, MASSIVE orgy all thorough the Hellada

Every year the Goddess of the Harvest goes into hibernation in the fall and life does not return until the Spring.

Wishing to help her out and win favor in the mortal races, the Trickster god attempts to cast a spell to keep her awake the whole year long.

This unfortauntely did the opposite and it is now the 5th year of no harvest. In desperation the Trickster god is now pretending to be the new harvest god.

In normal circumstances the mortals would wonder why strawberries are growing to the size of a watermelon, wheat growing into the earth and not out and why apples suddenly make one hallucinate for hours on end. However the people were too starved to care and gave sacrifices and prayers of thanks.

The blessings have not permanently cemented his new role as the Trickster Harvest God.

In desperation he seeks out the PCs

>Anubis
>Lesser
Dude was one of the most important fuckers in that pantheon. Everyone thinks of him in the black doing the judgement and being all psychopomp but the black was also for the fact that his job was running the goddamn Nile. The rich silt left after floods is why a golden jackal is depicted as dark. Though be assured he was also in gold, delivering babies, teaching mortals, being pretty important to agriculture, running messages between Ra and Osiris' family, making sure priests weren't lying, pretty much inventing most of the magic system mortals could utilize with his main man Thoth, and being the one level headed bastard in arguments between the gods so he was often the mediator.

But who in this scenario is he taking over for? His half-brother Horus? He'd be really good at that for a day actually, since he ruled in the Duat before letting his father Osiris take that throne after he helped resurrect him which freed him up to do more mortal shit.

Everything would probably go better than normal for the day, though there'd be nothing born that day and the Nile would be unchecked but its only a day. Only issue would be if Set came demanding the throne which is primarily why Horus has it since he could be a physical threat to Set if need be but mostly won by super gay semen guile. Still, Anubis could probably ask Ra for a hand there since Ra's pretty much the closest thing Set has to a friend which would stall for time till they have to go guard the solar barge and Horus' day off is finished.

I mean, Anubis arguably should've had that throne in the first place as the first son of Osiris but let his half-bro take it because fuck dealing with only the pharoh, Anubis loved everyone.

>>51902554
Though I think of it a bit longer, Anubis might have been able to take Set in a fight or at least it'd fuck them both up enough to discourage it because the winner'd get fucked by Apep. Anubis was the one defending Isis while Set was hunting them after all. Which is both a statement of loyalty to his adopted mom and Osiris but also that it was a legitimate fighting chance.

>>51900310
>Since gods normally derive their power (and then give it out) from worshipers
They don't, This trope is dumb

>>51902554
That myth is kinda screwy because Anubis was a older deity than Osiris.

Also Set had every right to be mad and do the shit he did.

Isis stole the name of Ra so Osiris could be king, despite Set being the one holding back the giant Snake devil god everyday. Then his sister-wife goes screw Osiris and probably have Anubis with him. Then he competes with his nephew who cheats to win in every single competition. Then Horus gets seduced and uses magic and jizzed in his salad, cheating yet fucking again.

It's hilarious how Isis reacts to discovering Horus got seduced.

>>51901429

>>51902620
The Pantheon had been around so long and has seen so much variation in the stories based on which regime was having the priesthood tell it that tyring to compare the power levels of the Gods is kind of pointless. Yes Anubis has skinned Set alive in some tellings, but Set himself has sometimes been credited with finally slaying Apep and multiple Pharaohs held Set to be their true patron. Every time a foreign nation conquered Egypt that can be interpreted as Set winning over the Pharoah's Gods.

Besides Anubis is literally a bastard, even if he is a cool guy.

>>51902841
True fact: Thoth was the ultimate playa.
He fucked damn near every goddess and come back for more while Ma'at (his wife and also a co-worker of Anubis) enjoyed the ibis dick so much it drew endless jealousy.

I also like that Anubis x Bastet was one of the most enduring noncanon slashfics of all time. The dog and cat being fuckbuddies and the myths on who was the mother of Anubis' kids is rarely cemented but its always a cough and a glance towards the three cat ladies (though one of the cats was sometimes a water buffalo).

Yeah I guess that's pretty much why Set is depicted as the potential father of half of the deities in the pantheon at some point or another.

>>51903346
Paradoxically his apparent infertility is sometimes one of the factors that drove Nephtys to seek Osiris when Set was away from home. Or it was inflicted on him when he lost to Horus. Or he was never infertile. Iunno

>>51903404
A religion that was around in one form or another for something like 6k years has a lot of contradictory material, especially seen through a nearly 2k year gap of anyone actually practicing said religion.

>>51903229
Because they're stories that pass the test of time. They were interesting enough to be told since we nearly stopped living in caves. Think about how awesome that is. We've been hearing or reading or thinking and loving these beings, these immortal characters for longer than we could write. Anpu is one of the oldest continous stories ever and his legend is still woven into popular culture.

When humanity fucking dies, a good chunk of our earliest creations will be there with us. Twisted, contradictory, changing, forgotten and reimagined with every generation, with the barest resemblence to what they were but still we call them affectionately by their titles and names.

>>51903404
Nephtys and Osiris are kinda just there and suffer from the weird sexual tension that is there between Isis and Set.

Isis flipping out and cutting off Horus hand because he was seduced by Set was hilarious.

While we're on the topic of Egyptian gods, which of these Gods from the not yet released Egyptian inspired set MtG set Amonkhet corresponds to which Egyptian god?

>>51903511
Looks like Bastet, Thoth, Anubis, Sobek and Apep.

In order, Bastet, Thoth, Sobek, Anubis and Apep.

>>51903511
Big Dick Sobek! Gonna croc niggas left and right!

>>51903478
But Egyptian mythology is unusually stable, like most aspects of their art and culture. New things develop or things change, sure, but for thousands of years of existence, the beginning is surprisingly similar to the end.

>>51903478
>When humanity fucking dies, a good chunk of our earliest creations will be there with us. Twisted, contradictory, changing, forgotten and reimagined with every generation, with the barest resemblence to what they were but still we call them affectionately by their titles and names.

T-that was beutiful anon.

>>51903548
I'm pretty sure that the two-pronged spear means that one is Set, not Anubis.

>>51902639
This trope is infinitely better than "haha I'm all powerful for no reason"

>>51903685
Which makes sense because they probably correspond to a color and Set would be the most likely black god.

>>51903708
I get it from the CHAOS view if Sobek's there he's probably gonna be Red (though he could be green - which would let Set be Red and Apep be Black) but man, Set is like the definition of the Red playstyle (HIT IT, HIT IT AGAIN, HIT IT HARDER WITH MOOOOOORE - whether that be himself or foreign armies).

>>51903511
Weird how the Sobek lookalike is the only one who doesn't look like he has a golden mask.

>>51903768

Depends on the pantheon.

The Egyptian pantheon, for instance, it'd probably go well.

The Greek? Not so much.

Also, real talk, most ancient pantheons are stuffed to the brim with absolute jerks. What makes the Egyptians so different? Even Set still had some good in him, and Apep might not even be sapient if I recall.

Greek pantheon was very much not a single unified thing, every god had different cults that worshiped them differently.

Some gods liked humans and you prayed to them for help, some gods despised mortals and you prayed to them for mercy.

for example, If you lived in Thebes you probably worshiped Apollo, there were a few cults to Apollo that you might follow but other gods were not nearly as popular (sans Dionysus because he was fucking everywhere with his party cults, Zeus was a bastard and you might pray to him to stay away, and Aphrodite who was worshiped pretty much everywhere)

The harvest-man and hunter know that if you eat all the crop and the seed, hunt down all the game, you will have nothing to eat.

>>51912458
The economist also knows that if you have no costumers, you have no more product.
Also if you don't have anywhere to take product, you have no income. Would the one who sells corn do well if he had no more corn to sell at all or the one who tries to keep in a steady flow of corn to continue selling over a longer period of time?

A 20000000 soul exit bonus that can be revoked for doing the equal of burning down many other worlds.
Not to mention those souls would likely automatically go to the god of death with economies just getting a cut of the income due to how badly he fucked up. It's the equal of burning down the business place. You also aren't taking into account all the other people who died in the past while economies wasn't in charge, including that of animals if they count.

So real world religions with more adherents don't have more power and more influential leaders?
I guess you'd better let the pope know that his millions of followers and fortress of wealth don't give him any power at all.

>>51900794
So they now become the God of Prosthetic Limbs as well?

Groovy.

That's not Anubis. It's Ophois.

>>51927174
Who?

>>51928653
Well its not Ophois. Its Wepwawet, The opener of Ways. He was sort of like a son/deputy of Anubis. Hence the point of Lesser god taking over from Major one.

>>51902639
>gods derive power from worshippers
>this means that someone must have started worshipping them before they had any power at all
You're right, it doesn't really hold up under scrutiny.

>>51912693
>even the afterlife in China is corrupt

>>51928730
It's probably more like "Gods have a mana pool and worshipping them gives them more mana faster"

There would be literally no reason for the "lesser god" to ever return his power to the "greater god".

>>51903511
Face looks like Bastet but a bow is more of Sekhmet's kind of deal
Ibis head is definitely Thoth.
Croc head with bladed scepter is Sobek definitely
Two bladed staff with curved snout could be set but the tits tell me no.
Is probably wadjet for the final one. Apep is just a snake of pure darkness and definitely wouldn't be part man and shown as gold.

>Tribe that rarely leaves their village finds a large tusk
>They haven't seen an elephant in living memory and think it's an obscure myth
>But they're familiar with rhinos
>Reason that such a large tusk must belong to a rhino god
>Start worshipping the new rhino god as protector of their lands
>The tusk's inflow of worship mana causes it to passively protect their village, making it fare better than it did before
>They decide that it must really exist
>The whole village adopts it as their guardian god
>It gains enough worship mana that it starts to manifest the consciousness of the rhino guardian that they've invented
>The tusk god then slowly uses the worship mana to transcend the tusk, becoming a true guardian spirit

If gods are sustained by worshippers, then logically they come to be when they are invented, then gain enough followers to be bullshitted into existance.

>Book that does trope well and/or popularized trope in the first place
>Implying that excuses the tonne of lazy fantasy settings that use trope poorly

Do you tell people sick of the Human, Elf, Dwarf trio in every other fantasy setting to go read Lord of the Rings?

>>51933599

Yes, the best antidote for a badly done trope is to see it done well.

>>51933651
Then why would you tell them to read Lord of the Rings?

What about slutty goddesses? Do a group of dudes reminisce about their best lays, coincidentally describe a similar enough chick that they all believe it's the same gal, and BOOM, minor slut Goddess?

>>51916752
If you really are an ancient, stasis-preserved Egyptian, then tell me!

What was the grafitti like? Was it the same "X was here" we have now?

>>51933436
So what if somebody finds out about that fact and worships the fact of creating gods itself? Would it create a God of Gods?

>>51903511
For some reason, Thoth reminds me of an angel crossed with an Eldrazi.

>>51939241
It would create a creator of gods

i.e. a human

Or if you wanna get dystopian, a factory that churns out gods for the benefit of its followers. The gods it churns out briefly exist, do their intended job, and die from lack of actual worship

>>51937533
Don't be ridiculous, we had a much higher standard. Like "X takes it up the butt" and "I have lain with X's mother"

>>51939691
What about "X's mother takes it up the butt"?

>>51936790
Probably began with a piece of art made by a very lonely artist, the art gets popular among guy because passive worship of feminine sexuality, and boom slut goddess

Of course the question is what the hell a slutty goddess actually does for her followers

>>51939630
>i.e. a human
A ordinary one or a oddly wise one?
What if people started worshipping him? Would he get any power or would it not work because humans don't work that way? Would it make him some kind of mega human? A manly manperor of mankind?

Pretty sure she makes love, and she might even have children. Not every slut Goddess remembers to stay regular with their goddess Pill.
But yes, the only settling down she does is settling down on fat cocks.
