I haven't flipped through Faiths and Pantheons just yet so more may be recognized there. The world is very diverse as it is. Besides, something has to be left to the individual DM who wants to add in these other cultural pantheons. Agreed. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I tend to stick with the main Gods but if a player really wants something different he can choose to be from a far-off part of the Realms. 2 of the 3 that you mentioned are covered: harvest by Chauntea (it's not in her portfolio but it can be inferred) and love by Sune. Fertility could be covered by either of those two as well. If you look at the list of aspects covered by the portfolios of the Faerunian Pantheon you'll see that while most of it covers adventuring class aspects (as it should, being a game with a large bent towards combat and conflict) there are plenty of every-day aspects covered as well. I challenge anyone to come up with more than a few glaring exceptions that couldn't be covered by any of the exsisting FR deities.The main pantheon does limit one portfolio per deity - in fact it is one of the main rules of the Realms and the reason why many of the Gods are at odds with each other. As for the rest of your post which is basically about racial deities, I basically agree however those decisions should be made by individual DMs. I like having the option of having my FR be different than someone elses. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> :: edited formatting ::</blockquote>
