[QUOTE="Essenti, post: 5854723, member: 100205"] Although I do share much of your opinion on this, I have no idea whether or not those stats have been put to use. I agree that having the pages devoted to other aspects of religion would see more use from me too. Gods are not singular bodied entities in my stories, and PCs mostly focus on taking out their minions or avatars, and not the gods themselves. But that doesn't mean I think everyone should play the game the same as I do. A book about deities is about the best place to stat them up for those who want such things. This is a very good reason not to stat up a deity, because it can stifle creativity. Then again, the same could be said about every monster in the manual too. I don't necessarily use monsters as they are printed in the monster manual, either, for the very same reason. I like to put in my own twists and turns to keep players guessing and I like flavoring creatures to fit my own worlds. For me it doesn't matter if their is an official version of the Lady of Pain or not. That said, I liked all the ideas you mentioned about what she could be! I would definitely be down with having sections devoted to various things that a deity could be. In other words, a bunch of hooks to kick start imagination rather than a single entry devoted to "this is what the Lady of Pain is." :) [/QUOTE]
