[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 3105778, member: 725"] I have to admit that a single pantheon makes live a lot less complex on the design side of the campaign. For a single pantheon i am toying with the OGC from the Book of the Righteous. While leaving an option to get some of the gods from other OGC sources becoming saints/vasals and demon princes (queen of spiders for example). Very few mortals directly interact with the gods or their other worldly servants, even very few clerics see direct manifestations of the gods work. Most spells and supernatural abilities clerics manifest can be explained away as a different kind of magic, like that of a mage or bard. There will always be powergroups that want to see the influence of the churches and the gods minimized, powerful wizard guilds, kings, and demon princes (to name a few). There will be doubt in the common commoner, that is what faith is. If you actually have met god then it stops being believing or having faith, it becomes fact... Will have to work on the presentation of beliefs, instead of saying "There are gods.", it needs to be more along the lines "Most people believe there are gods.", while at the same time presenting points of view that refute the existence of the gods. While it is a subtle difference, it leaves open a lot of options for plots and intrigue down the line. [/QUOTE]
