[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9443464, member: 2209"] I had heard references to St. Kargoth before but never seen this issue. I thought it was interesting that Greyhawk had St. Cuthbert the prominent Greyhawk lesser god and Kelanen as the Sword Saint quasi-deity (hero-deity?) but never really developed the role of saints in D&D. I think the 3.5 Book of Exalted Deeds had a bit on saints for that D&D era but it was mostly just a template that I mostly ignored. I use a bunch of saints in my current mashup campaign expanding a bunch on the Ptolus selection for my Holy Lothian Empire and include a bunch of gods from different pantheons assimilated in as Lothian saints (Saint Abadar, Saint Erastil, Saint Iomedae, Saint Corean, Saint Hedrad, Saint Bethesda, etc.) alongside some still being worshiped as gods in places so I can have a Brigid/Saint Brigid thing going on. For my game I cosmologically have divine power just as a different power source for divine caster traditions so divine spells of different levels are not tied to gods or divine servants of specific power so it is easy to incorporate different traditions of gods and saints and such and keep it a bit mysterious as to what a god or saint actually is but have intense devotion to such beings and different traditions and theologies built around them. I think I should pull up this article on my CD files at some point and check it out. [/QUOTE]
