[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 4718504, member: 11697"] As I recall from every thread prior to this one, 3e Deities and Demigods was soundly panned. I think it was up on the last poll as one of the worst/most useless books for 3e. And I also recall some rather amusing, if unflattering comments by at least one of the authors of subsequent books that used its rules on gods, and the precident for deity statblocks rather than more useful, detailed fluff (I want to say it was Mona talking about deity statblocks in 3e's Faiths and Pantheons). Now I know that fully statted out deities are your thing. You're even crazier about them than I am about all things planar and fiendish, but I think you might be projecting your favored stance onto more people than might be warrented, given past discussions over the years on the topic. Compare the generally posted opinion on 3e D&DG versus the 2e FR deity books. The former provides all the crunch you could want, and exceedingly slender flavor text. The latter provide avatar stats, tons of in-game history, details on their dogma, clergy, holidays, symbols, etc. The former was poorly received, and that reputation hasn't gotten much better. The latter is typically held up as the gold standard for sourcebooks on D&D deities. [/QUOTE]
