I would imagine that over 95% of campaigns never get to the stage where a deity's stat block is important. So I'm sure that with a bit of imagination, perhaps fertilised by some creative plagiarism, you could easily design your own pantheon without having to resort to this book.After all, all you really NEED for each deity are:- Symbol(s);- Domains;- Favoured weapon(s);- Portfolio(s); and- Alignment.After that, you may want some flavour text for the deity's history, information on churches and sects, that sort of thing. Check out Faiths and Avatars for some ideas.CheersNPP</blockquote>
