Deities are beings that possess great power gained by having large numbers of worshippers. There is no exact cutoff for the minimum number of followers, as 20 fervent cultists may provide as much faith as 2000 weak believers.

Minor Deities

Minor Deities are powerful beings beyond the reach of most mortal creatures, though they are generally not capable of sharing this power with many of their followers at one time.

Major Deities

Major Deities are being with enough power that they are capable of maintaining control over a Conceptual Plane. While it is possible for a non-deity to achieve this, in practice only Deities have managed to accomplish this task. Major Deities are capable of sharing their power with their followers in the form of Divine Magic. This differs from warlock patrons in that these connections need not be personal, but are granted by following rituals specific to each deity.
