Is there a good source for NPC who are listed as Chosen of gods? Of course I know there are a few in the base book.
thanks |

In the Epic Level handbook there is Surrupak (?) chosen of Gilgeam
Shuruppak was also detailed in 2e Powers & Pantheons as well.
Additionally, in 2e, the three Chosen of Silvanus/Mielikki/Eldath are stat'd in the Vilhon Reach sourcebook, and some of Amlaruil's powers as the Chosen of the Seldarine are stat'd in the Evermeet sourcebook. Malik [2e] was covered in DRAGON #245. Qilue [2e] is detailed in the Heroes' Lorebook. Slarkrathel [3e] is stat'd in Lords of Darkness. Pil'it'ith [3e] is from Serpent Kingdoms. |

Well considering "Chosen" is an epic destiny that a PC can take, I'll not rule out that there are Chosen in the 4E timeline. That being said, I guess we'll just have to wait for more novels to be written to have any idea of who are Chosen and what deities they serve.
As for 3E, I think most of the bases have been covered. |

I. Ascended to become Exarchs in service to their patron deities--such as Fzoul or Obould--and thus have exceeded their former status.
II. Served a deity whose presence is no longer felt in the realms--such as Elminster, the Simbul, or Drasek Riven--and have survived the events that brought about the disappearance of their divine patron.
III. Perished in service to their deities--such as Khelben Blackstaff Arunsun, or were discarded by them--such as Halisstra Melarn the Lady Penitent.
I should be been more clear. So as to your mention of 4e time line, let's just leave that out. 4e is terrible and I'm looking for stuff from 3.5, 3 and if need be 2nd. |

For information on Mystra's chosen (under 2nd Edition), you may want to check out "The Seven Sisters", as well as the 2nd Edition "Heroes' Lorebook" (which contains a "template", even though at the time it was not called a "template" as such). |

The only other two that I know of "offically" is Fzoul, Chosen of Bane and Cadderly, Chosen of Deneir(sp?). Other than that, I'm not too sure about other official sources. |
