Is it possible in forgotten realms either amia or pnp to worship as a cleric of the Gods of Fury? they are recognized as a group. So flauvour wise I see it as doable. I just dont know if its possible to do this or not.

Of course. Should probably just put Talos in the deity field to make sure you get a your divine benefits. Same sort of deal as the Triad.

As a rule no, you need a specific patron deity and worship of a pantheon doesn't cut it. In these situations the best option is to pick the chief deity of the group (Talos for the Furies, Corellon for the Seldarine, Moradin for them dwarf gods) and if you want insist of being a pantheon priest. You will only get access to the domains of your patron however, which is why I make the distinction of "no" vs the above.

Two different answers here.

Let me put it this way - you can worship whoever you want in terms of personal character belief. Within reason no one will tell you what your PC can think or believe (main proviso being the need for a reason to come to that belief). Mechanically? You draw your power from one deity. My answer assumed the former was a given so I focused on the mechanical side of worship.

I think they both said the same thing in different ways. Many Elves do worship the Seldarine. Many Mulhorandi worship the whole pantheon. Many Dwarves worship the whole Morndinsamman. Many paladins worship the Triad. But it's not that the clerics among them gain their power from all of them, just the one patron they prioritize with their prayers. So here as in tabletop you can still say you worship them all, but you only get powers from one. Does that make more sense?

You can worship all of them.

Only one can be the one who grants you your spells. So you need to pick a Main (the one you recieve your spells of) and the Rest as subs.

Keep in mind though that while the furies are a Group per se they do not all necessarily get along. For example, auril hates malar with a Passion.

and malar would kill Talos if he could.

quick semi related question - does the same apply to druids?

In the Forgotten Realms it does, yes. In other settings, a druid can just worship nature itself and get divine spells from it, but the FR requires all divine casters to get their spells from a specified patron deity.

What Liz said.

You are ofcourse allowed to worship multiple nature gods, you do have to place one before the others though (The one in your deity field) but nothing stops you from paying homage to Mielikki or Chauntea (in addition to Silvarus) even if you have Silvarus in your deity field.

Nature gods (Atleast the good and neutral ones) tend to be rather tolerant of each other as can be seen in the grove.

the same would basicly apply for any forgoteen realms paper and pencil game?

Depends on the DM I suppose. DM trumps lore in pnp.

I wouldn't tell my pnp DM 'But you can't do that! That's not how they do it on Amia!' 8)

If your pnp DM says you can worship nature as a single entity then you can! Same for the Furies. The above is just how we do it on Amia.

I realize that, I was more asking if there's lore backing it up, or if its purely the GMs call.

Side note - you guys rule

It's a standard Forgotten Realms rule, yes. Not just an Amia thing. I don't have access to books at the moment, but the rule is in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting.
