Deity choice can impact [[Cleric]] dialogue options, with Shar having the most, followed by Mystra and Selûne. {{ref|Reddit: ZaunKonigin (2024-06-15).

Although the option for [[Paladin|Paladins]] to select a deity was removed in the final release of the game, dialogue options still exist that are tagged to only be available to Paladins with specific deities. These can still be accessed by a multiclass character who has levels in both Cleric and Paladin and selected the appropriate deity with their first Cleric level. | |||
The complete list of {{FRWiki|Deity|deities}} in the setting is long; so the following list only consists of deities that are either available to worship as a Cleric or at least mentioned in the game. | |||

In Forgotten Realms, deities are worshiped by almost everyone, from regular people to monsters.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Deity choice can impact Cleric dialogue options, with Shar having the most, followed by Mystra and Selûne. [1]
Although the option for Paladins to select a deity was removed in the final release of the game, dialogue options still exist that are tagged to only be available to Paladins with specific deities. These can still be accessed by a multiclass character who has levels in both Cleric and Paladin and selected the appropriate deity with their first Cleric level.
The complete list of 
deities in the setting is long; so the following list only consists of deities that are either available to worship as a Cleric or at least mentioned in the game.
