[QUOTE="Unlogic, post: 4177269, member: 64156"] The only info I've heard so far comes from the podcast. I'll dig through for the exact quote if you like, but they said something to the effect that they're holding off on many specific deity-related stuff in the PHB, since deities are pretty setting-dependent. From the D&DXP pregen cleric, it looks like there won't be domains, and "deity-specific powers" are going to be encounter powers based off the "channel divinity" cleric class feature, gained through feats. Just speculation though. As for Gods' stats themselves, in another bit of podcast, they mentioned something like "We've been toying with the idea that greater deities like Moradin could take on Orcus, but not Orcus and Demogorgon together." Which sounds like they're not going to have any deities' stats in the MM1, but maybe in later books, and they'll be epic level encounters over level 30 (they mentioned Moradin might be level 38), such that it might be feasible for a party of level 30 characters to, as the chief epic achievement of their career, be able to, with greatly favorable conditions on their side, be able to take on a greater deity. I'm eagerly waiting for any real info on clerics to be leaked too. I'm really hoping there's enough options between power selection and feats for clerics of different deities to play and feel different. [/QUOTE]
