It has proved helpful when designing the pantheon for my homebrew where the gods are very present and some walk the Prime. I have plans in the future for some very direct divine intervention, where guidelines about what the various gods are and are not aware of will be good to know. For example, most gods can sense events that transpire within a certain range of conditions dictated by the scope of their portfolios. So some deities are aware of everything that happens beneath the open sky, while others automatically sense every murder or crime committed, and the circumstances relating to each murder or crime-- even ones that haven't happened yet. Armed with this information, mortals could exploit a god's 'blind spot' by discovering or creating an environment where the god's divine senses do not extend. It's more complicated than that, but hopefully this gives you an idea. This is a scenario I could not have imagined or designed without the latest book. But yes, it pales to the daily use I got out of the first Deities and Demigods. A fourteen-year old DM should not be given stats for Thor, Elric, Kali and The Goat With a Thousand Young, unless it's good to have them all in one room at one time.</blockquote>
