[QUOTE="Wyrm Pilot, post: 3104053, member: 4882"] I say single pantheon - but not "limited" as you say. There should be 1 or 2 greater deities, 5-10 intermediate, 12-18 lesser, and any number of demigods, enough so that if your players want to worship a particular kind of god you can say "oh, here's one." But, single pantheon is easier to explain than "Oh, well the dwarves worship these gods over here, and the humans from the Southern Planes have this pantheon..." Simpler to have one set, and different names for each god depending on the native culture of the worshipper. Also, please don't have a bunch of good gods and a "god of evil," one thing I really like about the Forgotten Realms setting is that the main pantheon has a good balance of power and enough breadth to satisfy just about anyone. I don't endorse plagarism, but I would suggest considering the combined pantheons of FR (and probably Greyhawk) as good models for complexity and diversity.
