Editing Dragon Gods (section)

===Task===
'''Task''' is the draconic God of Greed and Avarice from the [[Forgotten Realms]], essentially an unabashedly evil counterpart to [[Astilabor]], the Goddess of Hoards. As such, whilst he appeared in two sourcebooks - the original [[Draconomicon]] and the [[Cult of the Dragon]] [[splatbook]] - he was dropped in 3rd edition.

His Draconomicon entry reads as follows:

Task (TASK)
(The Taker and Holder, Wrester)
Deity of Greed
Greater Power of Pandemonium, CN(E)
Symbol: A pile of five coins

While Astilabor is the deity of acquisition (with no stigma of evil attached), Task is undeniably the deity of greed. Task wants it all, no matter how he has to get it, no matter the cost to whoever currently owns what he wants. His followers share his attitudes. Task reveres greed and selfishness, and he sometimes rewards followers who show these characteristics in good measure (such rewards are never material, of course, since Task wouldn't give up anything that he owned).

Myths claim that Task's lair in the plane of Pandemonium hides the largest and richest hoard in the universe (followers of Astilabor dispute this). Task is worshiped by the evil dragons - reds most of all - and even by some brasses.

Task appears as a huge dragon whose hide is so studded with gems that it's impossible to tell what color he was originally.

In comparison, his Cult of the Dragon writeup consists simply of this:

Task
(The Taker and Holder, Wrester)
Task is a chaotic evil lesser power of Pandemonium. His portfolio is greed and selfishness, and his symbol is a pile of five coins.
