to:
The god of longevity, who tracks the allotted lifespans of all living things in his stone tablets.
----
* CaneFu: His 2nd edition avatar's only weapon is a magical walking stick. Considering how powerful it is, it's all he needs.
* FatherTime: As a god of longevity, Shou Hsing has powers relating to time. He prolongs his clerics' lifespans by slowing their aging process before [[TheAgeless stopping it altogether]], and in combat, his avatar can inflict RapidAging on his opponents by striking them with his walking stick. His most powerful priests can make other people into TheAgeless by sacrificing their own Constitution points.
* GrandpaGod: Both his true form and avatar are elderly men with bald heads and fulsome white beards.
* RapidAging: Anyone struck by his avatar’s walking stick will instantly age up to 50 years. More generally, Shou Hsing sends omens of his displeasure by making people age prematurely.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Shou Hsing's tablets hold the prophesied dates of every person's death. These dates are supposedly immutable, but he has been known to fudge them for people who get on his good side, giving them extra time.

The many-armed, multi-headed god of thieves. In 1st edition he is known as No Cha. His base of operations, the Teardrop Palace, lies in Gehenna.
----
* BlackMarket: ''On Hallowed Ground'' states that his divine realm contains a marketplace where stolen goods from throughout the multiverse can be bought and sold.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: He was an extremely prolific thief in life. After death, he used his crimes to expose the corruption of his provincial government to the Celestial Bureaucracy, who rewarded him by elevating Sung Chiang to godhood.
* DeviousDaggers: The sneaky, duplicitous patron god of thieves wields a poisoned dagger while in avatar form.
* IntangibleTheft: As the god of thieves, this is to be expected. He expands his domain by stealing tiny, unremarkable pieces of other deities' domains and incorporating them into his own.
* MoneyMauling: One of his most dangerous attacks in 1st edition is to chuck a small gold brick at his opponent. Said brick does a massive amount of damage and can bean targets from up to a hundred yards away.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: In his true form, he has eight arms. 1st edition takes advantage of this by giving him half a dozen distinct attack options, each of which is implied to be tied to one of his hands.

to:
The head of the Celestial Bureaucracy’s Ministry of Thunder, a deity whose monstrous appearance is a perfect match for his sadistic personality. His domain is the Firecracker Palace, which floats atop a storm cloud in the war-torn plane of Acheron.
----
* AllCrimesAreEqual: It doesn't matter what crime you committed to end up on Lei Kung's punishment list, because he doles out the same punishment to all: a fatal braining with his hammer and chisel.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: His skin is "smoking black" in 1st edition and blue in 2nd edition.
* GodOfThunder: His primary role in the pantheon. He oversees the Ministry of Thunder, working with his subordinate gods to produce rain, lightning, thunder, and other types of inclement weather as required.
* NoSell: His 2nd edition avatar cannot be harmed by attacks based on sound, electricity, or water.
* {{Sadist}}: He loves killing people, whether they deserve to die or not. His role as a god of vengeance gives him a convenient excuse to indulge in his murderous impulses.
* TheScourgeOfGod: In addition to being the god of thunder, Lei Kung is also his pantheon's god of vengeance. He tracks down those who have escaped justice and punishes them for their crimes with a deadly blow of his hammer and chisel. Unfortunately, he's a sadist who only cares about bashing people's heads in. If he's worked through his list of guilty people that need to be punished, he'll start chasing people that are merely ''rumored'' to have done wrong just so he can get his murder fix.
* ThunderDrum: He carries a set of drums which he uses to create thunderstorms. When he plays them in combat, they produce destructive magical effects which vary based on edition.
* ThunderHammer: Lei Kung is a thunder god whose holy symbol is a hammer and chisel, and in 1st edition, that hammer deals large amounts of lightning damage to whatever it strikes. Curiously, his hammer has no such electrical powers in 2nd edition: it's just an incredibly deadly blunt instrument.
* WingedHumanoid: Lei Kung has a pair of batlike wings.

----
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: He used to be a magistrate named Yang Cheng, who won the approval of the gods by protecting the people from harsh tax levies.
* ForHappiness: His mission is to bring joy to all who deserve it. He is highly likely to respond to the prayers of the unhappy by appearing before a party of adventurers in avatar form and asking them to help the unhappy person out. His clerics are likewise tasked with cheering up the despondent and spreading happiness wherever they go.
* MagicMusic: His avatar can cast wizard spells by strumming his lute.
* TechnicalPacifist: Fu Hsing doesn't allow his clerics to start fights, and they are only permitted to fight in self-defence or to protect others.

----
* AnimalMotifs: Deer. His holy symbol is one, and his 2nd edition avatar is a man riding a stag.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: He was a mortal man whom Shang-Ti elevated to godhood as a reward for a lifetime of honest work.
* DivinePunishment: He has no tolerance for corrupt officials who try to game the system solely to benefit themselves, and if he notices someone engaging in corrupt practices, he will try to correct their behaviour with a series of increasingly severe and unsubtle punishments.
* NoSell: His avatar is immune to weapons that don't have at least a +2 bonus.
* OddJobGods: The god of salaries and functionaries. Only in China.

He works from the Palace of Judgment, a sprawling but stultifying bureaucratic complex located in the Outlands. In the real world, he is better known as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yama_(Buddhism) Yama]].
----
* EyeBeams: 1st edition states that he can shoot literal {{death ray}}s from his eyes, at will.
* GodOfTheDead: He oversees those departments of the Celestial Bureaucracy which handle the spirits of the dead and personally decides whether a person gets reincarnated or goes to Hell. ''Legends & Lore'' states that he personally approves every resurrective spell cast by any worshipper of the Chinese pantheon and can veto a person's resurrection should he feel so inclined. He has no tolerance for the undead, by contrast, and may send his clerics to pacify restless spirits.
* HadesShaded: The Chinese pantheon's resident death god is a man with ebony skin.
* TheParalyzer: In both 1st and 2nd edition, anyone who touches Yen-Wang-Yeh must succeed on a saving throw or become paralyzed.
* ScaledUp: He can turn himself into an oriental dragon during combat in 1st edition.

The god of testing and truth, an ascended mortal who diligently watches over exam takers for signs of cheating.
----
* BlindIdiotTranslation: The god this guy is based on is named Chung Kwe'''i''', but the "i" was written as a lowercase L in the 1st edition ''Deities & Demigods'' sourcebook. The typo stuck when he reappeared in the ''Legends & Lore'' sourcebook for 2nd edition.
* CheatersNeverProsper: He exists to enforce this trope. If Chung Kuel catches you cheating on an exam, and he probably will, he punishes you by setting fire to your papers.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: He was a mortal scribe whose diligence and academic excellence earned him a position in the Celestial Bureaucracy, where he eventually worked his way up to the head of the ministry of truth.
* DrivenToSuicide: As a mortal, he tried to throw himself into the sea after the emperor refused to acknowledge his flawless exam record because of how ugly he was.
* GodOfKnowledge: He is the god of truth. 1st edition states that he has a magical well from which he can draw up whatever knowledge he requires to succeed on a given test, and that he sometimes travels the material plane in mortal guise to test people's knowledge by asking them riddles.
* TheGrotesque: He's a fundamentally good and brilliant man, but he's also quite ugly. His 2nd edition avatar is so repulsive, in fact, that people who look at him must succeed on a saving throw or be forced to avert their gaze.
* OddJobGods: His duties include overseeing the examination process, effectively making him a near-omniscient exam proctor.
* PlayingWithFire: He punishes cheaters by making their exam papers spontaneously combust in their hands.

Changed line(s) 845,850 (click to see context) from:
The Ch'eng Huang are place gods, divine guardians of specific localities. Most often these localities are villages, cities, or towns, but they have been known to guard bridges, mountains, and other areas of importance. Sometimes known as the "Gods of Walls and Ditches", they are charged with protecting the inhabitants of the town in which they are honored. Usually, Ch'eng Huang are spirits of mandarins or bureaucrats who served the town well during their mortal life, and who were subsequently nominated by a Celestial Bureaucrat for the honor of protecting it in the Afterlife.
The responsibilities of the Ch'eng Huang are not limited to protecting their places from outsiders. They are frequently consulted by the local governor or prefect to learn the identity of notorious thieves, to ask advice in making crucial decisions, and for guidance in any difficult task. Most often, the Ch'eng Huang deliver their responses in the form of poems heard in dreams.
When the Ch'eng Huang's avatars are seen, they usually resemble the mortal from whom they were created. For their spells, they can draw upon a wide variety of spheres (though seldom more than three at a time) that will reflect the nature of the place sacred to them.

women.
Generally speaking, dragon kings remain aloof from human affairs and do not respond to worship or flattery.
As they have no avatars, dragon kings must appear themselves when they want something done. Because of their unusual natures, they are permitted to travel to the Prime Material Plane and are an exception to the rule forbidding gods to set foot on the earth in person.

responsible for bringing rain to the sections of the earth adjoining their seas, but can only do so on the orders of the Celestial Emperor himself. The dragon kings also oversee their smaller relations, the chiang lung, who dwell in every river, lake, and waterway in China.
In their true form, the dragon kings are huge, serpent-bodied oriental dragons. They can also take the form of men or
women.
Generally speaking, dragon kings remain aloof
As they have no avatars, dragon kings must appear themselves when they want something done. Because of their unusual natures, they are permitted to travel to

The god of fortune telling and war, who paradoxically does everything in his power to ''prevent'' war. He dwells in Valorhome, a peaceful city on the Blessed Fields of Elysium.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Both his true form and his avatar look like a man with red skin.
* EnlightenedSelfInterest: ''On Hallowed Ground'' states that Kuan-Ti is trying to find a peaceful solution to the [[EvilVersusEvil Blood War between the Chaotic Evil demons of the Abyss and the Lawful Evil devils of the Nine Hells]]. He figures that if he can broker a peace treaty between these fiends (and keep them from turning on the Upper Planes after the fact), the resulting multiversal fame will net him a promotion.
* GeniusBruiser: Kuan-Ti is a scholarly deity who enjoys fortune-telling and tries to resolve conflicts through diplomacy. He is also a WarGod who takes the form of an incredibly muscular man. His avatar reflects this, being a hulking high-level Fighter with high physical ''and'' mental ability scores.
* {{Seers}}: ''Legends & Lore'' states that he is an adept fortune-teller and can accurately predict the future.
* ViolenceIsNotAnOption: Enforced. The supernatural rules which govern his domain of Valorhome make it physically impossible for a person to draw their weapons or strike out in anger, meaning that any disputes must be resolved through talking.
* WarGod: A very unusual example. He works to prevent wars from breaking out whenever possible, and if war is inevitable, he acts as a neutral arbitrator between the two sides, adjudicating which one should deserve the victory. His clerics must likewise be skilled warriors tempered with reason, who put the needs of others before their own.

A contemporary of both Nezahualcoytl and Nezahualpilli, Axayacatl was a great Aztec priest-king who led his city to many military and diplomatic victories over neighboring tribes, often with the help of his allies from Texcoco. He extended and consolidated Tenochtitlan's domination over much of Middle America. He also suffered one of their greatest defeats when he unsuccessfully tried to invade Tarascan territory.
Under Axayacatl's reign, the religion of the Aztecs reached its full development. The great Calendar Stone, over twelve feet in diameter and weighing more than twenty tons, was carved and brought to Tenochtitlan while he ruled.
Axayacatl was an avid worshiper of the Aztec patron deity, Huitzilopochtli. Note that because of the limited number
of spheres this god allows his worshipers to access, Axayacatl does not have as many spells in many levels as might
otherwise be the case.

* AnswerToPrayers: Of the 2nd edition Aztec gods, Ixtlilton is the most likely to intercede in mortal affairs in response to prayers. All a sick person needs to do is pray, and there is a high chance that Ixtlilton will send his avatar to cure what ails them. You don't even need to worship him for him to come, though he is far more likely to visit his worshippers than random nonbelievers.
* HealerGod: The designated god of healing, with a particular emphasis on curing diseases.
* HealingHands: His true form's touch can cure even the deadliest disease.
* NoCureForEvil: Downplayed. Ixtlilton can and will visit sick people of any alignment if they pray for it, but he is far more likely to respond to the prayers of a good or neutral person than he is to those of an evil person.
