Do You Use the Core Pantheon?

[Alzrius]

All of my campaigns (thus far anyway) have been set in the D&D cosmology as it was in 2E Planescape, e.g. every god in the D&D books is out there somewhere, be they GH, FR, DL, BR, non-human, or whatnot.

So, yes, I guess you could say I do use the "core" pantheon (though I hate that grouping, call them what they are dagnabit, the Greyhawk pantheon!)

 

[Ranes]

My new campaign has its own setting and its own pantheon of gods, most of which are Greyhawk deities in disguise, though there are a couple of Norse gods (also disguised) and couple I've created.

Yeah. I create gods.

 

[Brennin Magalus]

I type from work, and type between calls. Errors happen. Yes, I'm aware MISTER Mona is a he.

Totally understandable.

 

[Psion]

I use only the nonhuman/demihuman core deities including ones that, after seeing Races of Stone, have been relegated to Forgotten Realms (which vexes me). In short, I use all the nonhuman deities in the 1e DDG and UA and 2e Monster Mythology.

(Correlon Larethian, Labelas, Rilifane, Moradin, Clangeddin, Lolth, Kurtlmak, Illsensine, Bahamut, etc.)

I think you can draw your own conclusions Erik.

Btw I do like ONE racial panethon god. Claggidden Silverbeard. Oh yeah, and Orcus.

(Will use the dragon panethon...some day.)

 

[Necrohazard]

Yes, I use the D&D Core Pantheon, but I also use other pantheons besides. Like the pantheon of the Tree from The Book of The Righteous, pantheon of the River from Book of Hallowed Might 2, and the Khemitian pantheon from Necropolis and others not counting my own home brew of 50+ deities. It just depends on what part of the word or what kingdom you are at.
Out of the core pantheon in the players hanbook once that tend to stand above the rest more then not in my campaign at the time are Gruumsh, Heironeous, Hextor, Moradin, Pelor, and to a lesser degree Corellon, Obad-Ha, St. Cuthbert. Others could be counted but they are found in the Complete Divine.

 

[Obad Hai]

I'm shocked! Shocked and appalled that we are not universally loved and used throughout this "earth" of yours.

 

[coyote6]

If the "core pantheon" includes those deities from Races of Stone & excludes Clangeddin, et al., then no, I don't use the core pantheon.

I use the Greyhawk pantheon.

 

[Darth K'Trava]

Mostly the core deities. In some games, we use the entire Deities and Demigods. Of course, in Forgotten Realms, we use that setting's deities.

Ones that are prominently used:

Core/Deities and Demigods: Pelor (most prominent), Kord, Thor, Ehlonna, Moradin

Forgotten Realms: Torm, Tyr, Elistraee, Clangeddin Silverbeard, Moradin

 

[Dark Psion]

I do not consider them to be "Core", they are the Greyhawk Pantheon and I would only use them in Greyhawk.
