[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 8035915, member: 1465"] I kind of always assume that folks in the fantasy world worship a little bit of everything, like in pagan times. A typical peasant working in a farm might pray daily to the deity of agriculture, and on specially occasions might participate in a festival to the sun goddess, or make an offer to other specific gods before going hunting, and so on. Evil deities being much less popular, but there might still be a festival to either please or bane the gods of death to ensure they stay away from the village, or a peasant might secretly make a donation to a deity of diseases if someone in the family gets ill. OTOH about Clerics I always default to single deities. It's a bit like different professions: there are bakers, blacksmiths and tailors, and while folks need to buy services from all of them, each person works in a single profession. I wouldn't mind having some Clerics devoted to a whole pantheon however. Maybe a small community can only afford a single Cleric who has to cover a bit of everything, or maybe there are some priests who oversee common temples or keep multiple religions tied together. I don't use any specific rules for getting benefits from worshipping or donating. [/QUOTE]
