Since human deities are considered "the normal/mainstream pantheon" (fantasy-racist as it may sound), for the sake of game-simplicity why not make like 4E and just do away with or fold-in explicitly racial pantheons? YMMV, but this is an approach I may take.Honestly this is a great solution. I know the Sovereign Host of Eberron uses this approach, and I think 4E core also spelled out that deities can take the form of any race. Still, this approach would be a significant retconning of Realmslore.There seems to be a word missing in your first line, but I'm reading it as, "Nope, I like the large pantheons." If that's how you feel, do you mind if I ask why? Do you not feel many of these gods are redundant and superfluous, not to mention confusing to new players?You may not like the concept of exarchs, but I plan to continue with it. Without having to commit to any stats or divine ranks, the term exarch lets me say, "Here's a divine being--a god--that you may not have heard before because he's either so minor or merely an associate of a more important deity."</blockquote>
