[QUOTE="coyote6, post: 3869174, member: 1225"] I think a single "racial" deity, like Blipadoowopawhatever, actually is okay; she's not actually the god of kuo-toas, she's just some ancient primeval deity that kuo-toas worship. IMO, the game needs to have dark/forbidden/lost gods, and those traditionally have hidden, twisted worshippers. Perfect for a race like the kuo-toa. OTOH, the kuo-toas don't need a whole pod of gods, and the orcs don't need 8 gods, the goblinoids 6, dragons to have 12, etc. (Of course, you [i]can[/i] have that, if that's the set up you want. I do think that if that's what you're going to have, it would be a great idea to explain how the cosmology works -- why are there all those overlapping gods, where did they all come from, and how do they all coexist? That's something the Greyhawk pantheon never explains, AFAIK; the FR has an explanation, but I dislike it a lot.) [/QUOTE]
