[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9510989, member: 6801845"] I may have missed post 1570. In any case, other games simply have different approaches so at a certain point it's like asking why my car isn't more like a motorcycle. Gods, and Odin, may have vast knowledge but they are not assumed to be omnipotent in any D&D campaign I've played. They're also almost always quite distant and take a pretty hands off approach and indirect approach to the mortal realm. Which makes sense, if you can just ask your god to fix all your problems because you're a cleric then there wouldn't be any need to adventure. Just ask for the miracle du jour. When it comes to limiting exploits I only ban or limit a couple of spells (and most of that is for thematic reasons). In other cases I just use one of the several spells that stop scrying, teleportation and the types of things that really make it difficult to create an interesting challenge. But that's another topic. :) [/QUOTE]
