About this Book

This book provides material that a GM may use

to enhance his campaign. It is not the intention

of the authors to create a historically accurate

interpretation of each deity, but rather to explain

the deity in gaming terms that fit the rules of the

d20 gaming system and add an element of enjoy-

ment. Religions from role-playing games should

never be taken as real for any reason, even when

there is historical precedence concerning the

specific religion.

The Egyptian gods have long been the subject of

numerous books and even greater legends. They

are perhaps some of the oldest and best-docu-

mented gods known to modern man with treatises

dating back five millennia or more. The Egyptian

lands overflow with all manner of lore and super-

stition regarding the favor and wrath of the gods.

These superstitions contribute to the popular

themes about undead (such as the mummy),

deadly curses inflicted on those who dare disturb

the rest of a pharaoh, and rumors of undiscovered

riches deep in the bowels of the ancient pyramids.

The mythos of Egypt remains strong and vibrant

today, given the recent string of successful Holly-

wood movies incorporating its themes.

New domains have been marked with an

asterisk (*) symbol directly after the name of the

domain. Some domains from previous Lore of the

Gods books have been carried over this book but

are still considered to be new and noted as such.

New spells itemized within the new domains are

designated with a double asterisk (**) and any

spells from other Open Game Content sources

other than the Player’s Handbook will have the

designation (*ogc-e) immediately after the spell

name, which means the spell comes from an

external open game content source. The full details

of the spell will be listed in the section on spells (as

will the source of the open game content from

which it came).

morale effects), ability drain, and energy

Darkvision to a range of 120 feet

Can never be surprised by any mortal not

cloaked by some form of shrouding magic

(such as nondetection ).

If the avatar has the ability to cast spells, it

has access to all spells of the appropriate

class (some favored spells are listed under

each spellcasting avatar’s statistics; a

double asterisk in the spell indicates that it

is a new spell detailed in this product).

By no means are the avatars presented meant to be

the only class or form that can be assumed; rather,

they are just one possible representation that the

authors have chosen as an example avatar for a

specific deity.

Amon

The Hidden One; God of the Sky; King of the Gods;

The Creator of All Things

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Domain: Air, Balance*, Sun, Wind*

Symbol: Goose, Ram

Sacred Animal: Goose, Ram

Traditional Allies: Auran creatures, Horus, Osiris,

Traditional Foes: Aberrations, Set, Undead

Divine Artifact: Kheperesh (The Blue Crown)

Favored Weapon: Mace

Favored Class: Cleric, Rogue

Favored Race: Elf, Human

Benefits: Clerics and rogues who worship Amon

gain a +2 inherent bonus to all saves against divine

magic.

Regarded as the god of the sky and a sun god,

Amon is also the patron deity for the city of Thebes

while the priests of Hermopolis view him (and his

consort Amenet) as a primordial creation-deity.

The protector of any worshipper in need, he

became ruler of this family of gods after he merged

with the sun god Ra to become Amon-Ra.

Amon is often depicted in human form with blue

skin and either the head of a bearded man or a

ram’s head with curved horns. Alternatively, his

forms also include a frog-headed man, a cobra-

headed man, an ape, or a lion. He wears a crown

composed of a modius surmounted by two tall

feather plumes. Interestingly enough, even though

his symbol is the goose or ram, he is never depicted

as either. His true appearance is beyond all mortal

About the Avatars

Each of the gods below has an avatar that travels

the various Prime Material worlds, influencing and

interacting with mortals as it deems necessary. This

avatar is not the actual god itself, only a thought

flung out into the cosmos that always acts in the

best interests of the god itself. All Egyptian avatars

share the following abilities:

Immunity to the following effects: poison,

sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, death

effects, mind-influencing effects (charms,

understanding. Amon is said to be “hidden of

aspect, mysterious of form,” and invisible yet

omnipresent throughout the cosmos. He is also “an

invisible creative power which is the source of all

life in heaven, and on the earth, and in the great

deep, and in the Underworld, and which manifests

under the form of Amon-Ra.”

The wearer may cast the following spells

at will; detect thoughts, enthrall, see

invisibility and tongues.

Charm monster 5/day.

Magic circle against chaos/evil/good/law

5/day.

Phantom steed 2/day.

Eyebite 2/day.

Geas/Quest 2/day.

All spells are equal in effect to those cast by a 20 th

level cleric.

Anubis is the son of Nephthys. Some claim his

father is Set, while others say it is Osiris. Anubis is

depicted as a black jackal, or as a jackal-headed

man. He is considered to be the god of the dead

because of the sightings of jackals prowling around

tombs and is often referred to as the “conductor of

souls.” He is the guide of the dead as they make

their way through the darkness of the underworld.

As a patron of magic, folk believe he can foresee a

person’s destiny, so in this role he was the an-

nouncer of death. The Ancient Egyptians believe

that when you die, you travel to the Hall of the

Dead. Once there, Anubis weighs your heart

against the feather of Ma’at, goddess of justice and

truth. If your heart is light, you go on to Osiris; if it

is heavier than the feather, then a demon devours

it. Anubis is also the keeper of poisons and medi-

cines, most used in the embalming process.

After Set murdered Osiris, Anubis embalmed the

body and wrapped it in linen bandages, thus

making Osiris the first mummy and preserving

him so he might live again. Anubis later defended

the corpse against the attacks of Set. After death,

Osiris became ruler of the underworld. Anubis, as

one of the most important officials, guides the

deceased through the underworld into the presence

of Osiris and oversees their judgment.
