Dog Moon ... what is the theme of your campaign setting?
Is there a known history to the pantheon that helps to influence the interaction between the dieties ( and their worshippers) ?

Assuming that dieties are actually neccessary to the smooth functioning of the cosmos, there's only 5 positions that absolutely need filling:
Death (Evil, Undead, etc...)
Energy (Sun, Elements, Magic, Psionics, etc...)
Nature (Animals, Druids, Weather, Hunting, etc...)
Time (Luck, History/Knowledge, etc...)
And
Life (Healing, Birth, Agriculture, etc...)
...aka the DENTaL plan.
All of the other 'deific portfolios' are just fluff. Dieties representing fluff should be servants of the dental plan, ascended heroes, and the like.
And easier still when you call the same God different names. Worshippers can get so nitpicky sometimes (and I mean nitpicky with a blunt crushing weapon).Nifft said:Something I've discovered in my few-deity setting: it's way easier to set up internal church strife when you have fewer deities.
