I'm right because the facts are on my side and I've cited my sources.You don't even need to read the books, it's on the wiki:And there used to be 2 gods of disease until <a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Talona" target="_blank">one</a> murdered the <a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Kiputytto" target="_blank">other</a>, further proof that portfolios aren't what make gods divine.Stripping out the personalities and histories of the Forgotten Realms gods is an awful idea, it's throwing out decades worth of creativity while providing nothing to replace it.Nobody was stopping DMs and players from coming up with their own ideas for their campaigns, this is just denying what came previously to anyone buying the new books.Forgotten Realms gods aren't unknowable distant beings, they're characters in their own right with established histories and personalities and that's part of what makes the setting great.If a god doesn't matter beyond what Domain a Cleric takes and can't affect anything then why even have them in the setting?</blockquote>
