[QUOTE="Bera, post: 6402110, member: 74671"] Looking at it closer, I couldn't find any references to demigods being limited to granting spells of 5th level or less and lesser gods being limited to granting 6th level or less in either the core books or the Priest's Handbook: just Legends and Lore (didn't check the any other deity books). So I'm guessing those are only inherited in the loose sense of backwards compatibility: it happened in 1st edition so we should let it happen in 2nd edition as well. But in practice, it seems to be left behind, possibly for some sort of balance or fairness reasons so all priests got 7th level access (assuming you pay attention to the needed high wisdom scores). The few places where non-deities are granting spells (Sorcerer Kings and Elements in Dark Sun, the shaman classes from Shaman, the Jakandor Jurist and Philosopher kits in Isle of Destiny, Druids in general...) it seems as though the forces or philosophies just allow any spell up through 7th level.
