[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8020929, member: 6801228"] Great, they are independent of worship. Now what? The gods aren't acting directly on the world, they act through their followers. Nerull has the least number of followers so he has the least impact on the world. Meanwhile Pelor has a massive number of followers and a massive impact on the world. And again, they are supposed to be equals. In fact, if you make Nerull seperate from worship, would he even have any churches? How could he get clerics. It would all be cults and hidden sects.
