Bishmon said:I like what Green Ronin did with The Book of the Righteous. Instead of having different racial gods, they have one pantheon of gods, but different races might interpret those gods in different ways. For example, Canarak is a chaotic evil god of destruction, violence, etc. To humans, elves, and dwarves, he is probably just Canarak, and they probably represent him looking like an indistinct being of unspeakable evil. But to orcs, he is represented as the strongest, fiercest orc imaginable, and they call him Gruumsh.
I forgot about that book, but now that you mention it, I really like that Idea, as well. We've seen this at work in the Greek and Roman pantheons. And if the developers insist on writing stats for gods, I hope they are significantly stronger than characters with a few epic levels.
