Unable to Select Tiamat as a LE Cleric
I cannot select Tiamat as a deity. My drow cleric is LE.

Re: Unable to Select Tiamat as a LE Cleric
I think you have to match race, if you're a cleric and the deity has one. So, for Tiamat/Bahamut, you'd need to be a Kobold.

Re: Unable to Select Tiamat as a LE Cleric
no, Tiamat has followers that are not kobolds.
Re: Unable to Select Tiamat as a LE Cleric
You need to be a kobold, yes, or take the gift that allows it. Not a bug.

Duergar was able to take it. No gift selected. Confirmed.

If you are a divine class, like cleric or BG, then yes you have to be a kobold, or take the gift that let's you ignore deity race restriction.
There are non reptilian followers of Tiamat, so it is a bit lame it's labeled as reptile only, yes.

These nuances really need to be documented. I have to reroll...yet again.

Re: Unable to Select Tiamat as a LE Cleric
Sorry about the confusion. The information is included here: http://wiki.arelith.com/Deity and there is a google sheet in that article that says reptilian under Tiamat.
I certainly empathize with you as I haven’t been here that long and was rather overwhelmed as well. After playing somewhere for a while, it’s hard to look back with those new eyes and you end up taking some information for granted. Let us know if you have a better idea on how to display the information!

Re: Unable to Select Tiamat as a LE Cleric
When you are low level, rerolling is not a big deal. I am over it.
My suggestion so others like me do not have to reroll?
To start, I would update the wiki and make it clear under the individual deity entries. For example, here:
http://wiki.arelith.com/Tiamat
In the section labeled as "Arelith's Worshipper Alignments", I would have it read:
LN, LE, NE - Clerics may only be Kobold.
Sometimes, people like me just need it spelled out for us.

Re: Unable to Select Tiamat as a LE Cleric
Tiamat and Bahamut are the two where this comes up the most often so I've added it there like you suggested.
