[QUOTE="buzz, post: 714370, member: 6777"] [b]Re: Greyhawk Gods[/b] To include more context, more specific setting info would need to be included... by an order of magnitude. That they present merely a sampling of major gods should be no suprise, as the "flavor" of Greyhawk included in the core books is intended to be minimal. There is also ample precendent in RL for cultures with a mish-mash of gods from diverse origins, e.g., ancient Egypt. I also must say that I have yet to hear a player complain about the "linguistic inconsistency" of the gods in the PHB. ;) The only failing that I can see is that there's no equivalent of the FRCS book for Greyhawk where you can get more context, ignoring for now the LGG (which itself isn't all that detailed, deity-wise, and it OOP now, iirc.). Right now, if people want context, they kind of have to hunt for it. [/QUOTE]
