I'm here for the first time (woohoo!) for a nerdy question, that I hoped people here might know more about. Specifically, Sharess isn't in the 5e PHB. So far, so good, many deities aren't.
The weird thing is however, that her 5e Domains remain unlisted anywhere. I mean: so far so good too, if this specific old goddess isn't on any core book, it makes sense she doesn't have a list of domains. However... on the wiki, she's listed as "War" with no source, and... not much sense really, since it doesn't precisely fit her... her anything at all. It's even stranger that she wouldn't have Trickery or a similar domain.
Anyone knows if it's a fluke, a mistake, or if there's some source I'm not aware of, listing her as a War deity?
It’s not that Sharess is listed as war. Bast, in the Egyptian pantheon, is listed as war in the PHB. And since Bast is a different name for Sharess, she gets war, too.
I don’t know enough about Egyptian mythology to know if that makes sense or not.
How many of the listed deities on the pantheon are Demigods/Demigoddesses?
I don't know them all off the top of my head, but Sharess is a Demigod iirc, that is possibly why she isn't listed in the main catalogue for what would otherwise be the pantheon she belongs to.
(EDIT: please disregard. A brief look at the list and I spotted three on the pantheon that aren't full gods. Sorry about that, been up for like 30 hours, lol)

Sharess makes no sense as a war deity in 5e. Trickery would work well for her. As a cat deity you might be able to get away with Twilight.
