A Way to Convert to 'The Wheel' in play

[Egon the Monkey]

I love it when I get to do religious RP around Picking a Spoke, choosing your path, etc.
But a good chunk of the time when someone doesn't light up on my Turn Undead, it's because the player filled in the deity field with 'Wheel' or something manually rather than using the Deity Picker Table.

Could we just have the option on either a player tool, or maybe the NPC clergy, to convert your PC to 'The Wheel'/'The Dome'? Which is a big roleplay improvement when a PC is 100% pious, but is caught out by an OC mistake. They might not want A Spoke/Sage yet but it lets the Turns and OUB: Faith Group work properly.

The priestess in the B'aaran temple in the Well converts, as far as I recall.

I think she converts to B'aara, not The Wheel, which is what he's asking.

I prefer the idea of having a patron Spoke to be honest. It allows for more variety and more in-pantheon debate. If your patron God is one of the Spokes, being a Wheelist is already suggested.

I agree that it is cooler but it is even cooler when you have the option to go from generic to particular.

And The Wheel is a valid settings deity that you can choose in the OC area. There is just not a way to access it in play, meaning several PCs I have met so far were supposed to have it set but their player had misspelled it.

This is essentially a quality of life suggestion so that you can move from no faith by either accident or design to generic wheel. And then pick up a conversion in play from a character if that's what you're looking for.

Couldn't you then better jump the gun and find a player to convert to a particular spoke since it's cooler anyway. That is a happy accident imo anyway because you're forced to roleplay religious conversion in-character with another player, rather than NPC set your religion to a boring generic.

The point is that numerous players actively wanted PCs to be on the generic Wheel, so then conversion RP could be slower and more meaningful. But then screwed it up as deity selection's a bit unintuitive. This is basically a QoL suggestion to make the default easy to pick up.

What this would mean is there's a better default than 'B'aara then I guess!'. It lets PCs become Faithful to the Wheel, while leaving Picking a Spoke to be a Big Deal PC Interaction. Also lets you set to Generic Wheel if there's not actually a Cleric Of Your New Favoured Spoke in play. Or you can't find them.
