Talk:Vaprak

What about ogre mages?
Does anyone know if oni mages worshiped Vaprak as well? ~ Lhynard (talk) 17:23, January 18, 2016 (UTC)


 * I looked through all my sources and I cannot find evidence that ogre magi worship Vaprak. He is served by shamans, predominantly ogres, but some trolls and a few hill giants. Oni mages are arcane spellcasters and thus don't have to worship any deity, right? &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 02:03, January 19, 2016 (UTC)

I don't see why not; oni mages used to be just regular ogre mages in the past. Every source said they were the same thing, until 4e separated them. (There's an oni/ogre mage giving our Kara-Tur crew hell these days...) And there's no reason why one can't pick Vaprak as a patron, barring good taste.

In fact, I know of at least one. In the first four issues of the DC Comics' Forgotten Realms comic series, the ogre mage Gornak made a deal with Vaprak to make his own hand a divine artifact, the Hand of Vaprak, lost it to Elminster and later tried to reclaim it. He wouldn't do that without some serious Vaprak devotion. He was called both ogre mage and oni mage in the same story too. — BadCatMan (talk) 11:54, January 19, 2016 (UTC)
