Sunnis as a power?

Are there any records anywhere of any abilities given to a druid worshipping Sunnis? Spheres, abilities, etc.?

There is a precident for worshiping the Elemental Princes (Akadi, Grumbar, Istishia and Kossuth) in the Forgotten Realms setting. They grant domain powers and eveything.

Regarding worshiping spheres (not sure what you mean by that) and abilities. Page 44 in the Manual of the Planes give a good explanation about gaining spells by worshiping a concept or ideology.

...
Alternatively, a cleric cut off from his deity might simply venerate the principles he stands for, connecting to his domains in the same way that clerics unaffiliated with a deity do.

I suspect Spinagon may be referring to 2e cleric rules. It's been too long since I've played 2nd edition for me to make speculations on what would be good.

You are correct. Sorry, I should've mentioned I was referring to 2E info.

while we didn't give any special abilities to druds who follow Sunnis, we definitely made a point of mentioning that many druids do revere her. Smiling

Although I do not remember any rules about Sunnis or other archomentals granting divine spells in 3ed, is perfectly possible to use them this way with some homerules, or even with level up the archomentals.

Sunnis as a worshipped Power

An good place to research Sunnis as a Power is the material for Dark Sun campaigns. In them, the aligned elemental 'lords' (better word? Archomental?) are actively worshipped by Druids and Clerics.

This appears to be an excellent treatise on the philosophy behind such a system, with addtional info within one click.

Oh, this is my first official post ^^ Hello Planewalkers! (I've uploaded a slew of the quotes already; just finally registered now)

Well the 3.5 oficial site of Dark Sun is [url]www.athas.org [/url] although it seems that paizo also have an oficial site.

But I prefer www.athas.org because it's free.
