This god appears as a huge human and may command any non-divine creature of the water.
At will,
he shape changes,
summons water beings,
and creates life in any form (often originating new life forms at a whim).

His anger at coastal towns who fail to sacrifice to him monthly may cause him to react in one of three ways:
    * he may take all the young males of the town in blood sacrifice,
    * he may reduce the town to rubble in an earthquake, or
    * he may flood the town and the surrounding countryside.

Poseidon is responsible for the creation of all horses and he rewards his high priests and high priestesses for exceptional services with a paladin-quality horse for their use.

Poseidon fights with a +5 trident that hits for 4-40 points twice per melee round;
this weapon can absorb any single spell in any given melee round and return a like spell at the desire of the god.
In battle,
the god often puts a watery haze around his body that acts like a +5 ring of protection.

Poseidon is the son of Kronos and Rhea and brother Zeus and Hades.

This god rewards the {prayers} of his clerics with material things like springs in dry lands,
water when needed in the form of rain,
or too much water to his cleric's enemies.
He has also been known to plague the worshipers of his sect with enchanted monsters of random types when they have transgressed in some way.
