[QUOTE="Zaltys, post: 6120610, member: 6704145"] [SIZE=1][English isn't my first language, so apologies if this isn't readable...] [/SIZE] Theology differs a lot from normal in my current campaign. I'll try to sum up the setting: the infighting among gods got so out of control that the whole reality collapsed into primal chaos, taking most of the gods with it. Mortal souls were stuck with no place to go and only a few small gods survived. None of them were skilled at creation, but they eventually managed to build a new reality. Flawed one, but it's better than nothing. (It was actually a cooperative work by two gaming groups. Everyone chose a god to play and contributed some things and rules to the setting. And once the world was finished, we started a campaign there with normal characters.) Certainly. But only a complete madman would consider that, since killing even one of the remaining gods might erase the whole reality. No. Some good gods are on bad terms (Redemption <> Justice), while some of the evil ones get along fine with everyone. It depends a lot on their portfolios. There are no racial gods. Religion is more about belief than race. Some races are still naturally inclined towards certain beliefs, but most commoners pay respect to multiple gods or even to the whole pantheon. As for the afterlife? It is determined by the beliefs and actions of the dead. Most souls are claimed by the god whose beliefs match those, but if it's not a clear-cut case the mortal gets to choose between two or more gods. Each god has their own realm and afterlife, and although most try to build utopias, some only consider mortals their playthings. Raise dead is not guaranteed to work. Some gods demand reincarnation instead... and some are completely unwilling to release the soul without a very good reason. [/QUOTE]
