The way the FR deities (or should we blame it on Ao?) have things set up they are simply jerks compared to the multiversal default. Maybe the reason that Toril is overflowing with Greater Deities (seriously, compared to other worlds, they have way too many highest ranked deities) is because they are leeching extra power off of the worship of mortals via the threat of oblivion.Yeah, some of the other worlds do similar crap.The point though, is that in traditional D&D lore they don't have to. The pantheons are explicitly choosing to impose harsher rules on their worlds for some selfish reason.In Dragonlance, soaking up a bunch of worship to juice the gods up doesn't even follow, since they have very few Greater Powers.The gods of Greyhawk don't impose any of these extra threats on their worshipers, and they're doing just fine.</blockquote>
