Yeah, I know that I am complicated. Sorry. I really think too much sometimes. Can be annoying for everyone, even myself

That is the issue and the source of my confusion. The god in question did not change the gender, it just created avatars. Those are sometimes created in a male form and sometimes in a female. But the god itself never changed gender (as far as I could find in the lore). Avatars are, as far as I know, entities that can be infused and controlled by the will of the god but it is not the god itself. Just like a human that controls a character in a video game, those characters are the avatars of the player but not the player himself.

I don't assume a mortal gender for any god, neither in real religions nor in fictional ones, I can't even see how a concept like gender (or sex) even would be possible at all with a formless/shapeless entity like a god. The entity would be beyond and above our puny mortal classifications and limitations of our bodys. It would be like asking what gender water has and then saying that water is trans or genderfluid because ice sculptures in male and female form exist.

For me the sex and/or gender of an god is: god

But maybe my main issue is that overanalize it, I often have that problem unfortunately. I hope that I have not said anything bad or hurt/angered anyone. If it happend then only because of my limited knowledge not out of ill intend.

I used the male form because that's what is used in official texts in this case, so no assumption from my side.

Thank you

Correlon is a god who uses avatars of both Sex and/or Gender. I don't see how that makes him trans in any way, because his avatars are not much more as if a player creates a character with a different Sex and/or Gender for his interaction in the gameworld. That doesn't makes the player trans. So how does it make Correlon trans?

Have I missed anything in the lore? Please don't missunderstand me, I don't want to speak against trans or want to be seen as anti-trans in any way. I literally really don't understand this part and just ask for information or clarification.

It could be a extremely big stalactite with tunnels and rooms inside.. Or the characters were shrunken to fit into a normal stalactite with tunnels and rooms inside

And there are more then enough systems out there for everyone to find his perfect match and then some.

In general I don't really like Pen&Paper RPGs where you need miniatures (and for worse range finder tools) to play them. But that is a me thing, don't read my words as that I want to say D&D should change. Far away from that, D&D is a great game and I love it on the PC (where it IMHO only works, not at the table)

If I think more about it i come to conclusion that is not really the math per se, but what I find boring is that 90% of the rules (measured by feeling) are about battle and battle takes such a huge and detailed part in the game.

That is one reason I don't like D&D, it is a glorified boardgame the hides it's wargame roots under a very thin layer. I like tactical rpg on the computer but investing that level of math and detail in a pen & paper game is so boring, for me at least.
