I think in FR there are really a lot of deities that started as mortals: Mystra (the current one), Kelemvor, Cyric, Bane, Azuth, and a bunch of lesser/demi gods.
Personally I think the idea is ok, but it's been overdone too much. Four greater deities in the same setting that ascended from mortals (three of which basically at the same time) in my opinion makes the whole process too normal...
But how do you like the idea? I think that in greek mythology it didn't happen that often: I remember only Hercules being admitted to Olympus, and not exactly turned into a god (and then he was son of a god and a mortal since the start IIRC). Having the option there is ok for me - at least seems to me the players always want it open for themselves
- but if it becomes too common, then it feels quite bleah :\
