Raiden – God and Clerics for D&D 5e

Raiden (Intermediate God)

Raiden is the god of thunder and the patron of fletchers. A constant companion of Susanoo’s, he loves nothing better than beating his drums while the storm god rages. Raiden is fond of eating human flesh, and receives a meal any time a man is slain by an arrow. He can send an lightning bolts to attack any being on earth. In his true form, Raiden has a horned, grotesque head and long, vicious looking claws.

Roleplaying Tips

Susanoo is a very unpredictable god. Sometimes, when he creates storms, the result is not so terrible, but on other occasions, he savages the land from one end to the other, ripping up trees, destroying homes, and flooding crops. He sometimes sends his lightning bolts to strike down those who have offended him. Sometimes, in fact, he sends his lightning bolts to strike someone down for no reason at all.
