    Can somebody tell me about Pelor? I've come across him in a table-top game and I've never heard of him and can't get any info on him. Apparantly he's a sun god. Can anyone shed any info on this?

    I think he's the Greyhawk equivalent of Lathander.

    See the Player's Handbook (either 3E or 3.5E, don't know about 2E).

    Pelor is the deity of Sun and Healing. NG. Favorite weapon is a Mace called Lightbringer iirc.
    Pelor is the deity most favoured by commoners, healers and undeadhunters.
    Like Oaz said, you can find info in the PHB. Also in Deities and Demigods for a more detailed description.

    Pelor is the great Sun God, regarded as the Creator of much of what is good -- a Power of strength, light, and healing. Pelor flies on a great ki-rin, summons flights of eagles, and casts down dark evils with bolts of brilliant sunlight.

    The nature of Pelor's reverence has changed subtly during and since the wars and is still changing. His old aspect of a peaceful, gentle god concerned for the suffering is eclipsed by his more martial aspect as a wrathful Power who drives out the darkness of evil. This is parallel to the cult of Mayaheine, his servitor, a much more martial deity. As strengthener and healer, Pelor brings vitality to those beset by evil, and many warriors now turn to his faith.

    Services to Pelor involve hymn singing, communal prayer, and the dispensing of alms to the needy (and the collection of same from the well-to-do).

    Pelor's priests have always worked for the poor and sick, bringing healing, food, and aid to them. Their reverence has not changed as swiftly as that of common folk. They remain quiet, kindly people for the most part, but with some steel as protection.

    Pelor is originally a Greyhawk deity of Flan origin. He is one of the more commonly acknowledged deities of the Flaness.

    I'm not familiar with Greyhawk so that's why i've never heard of him. Cheers guys, thanks for the info.
