[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 8983085, member: 907"] I miss specialty priests too, but I get why they did away with them. They basically require you to design a whole new class for every god in a setting – three whole books were required to cover the FR gods. The 3e domain system lets you have some variability both between different gods and between different priests of the same god without needing a whole class, allowing for quantity over quality. Also, I am not sure about Faiths & Avatars quality-wise anymore. It felt amazing at the time, but now it feels... formulaic. All the gods are described in the same fashion, and to some degree they feel like they're forced into a Christianity-like Mad Libs template ("The holy book is _______, and their primary holy day is _______. Things associated with the god are _______, _________, and ________, and priests often wear the color _______."). I actually think Faiths of Eberron is a better book, because it has more focus on the actual faiths rather than gods. Of course, I'm biased because I prefer the way Eberron handles faith and gods in general, and it definitely helps that the book gets to focus on four major and a handful of minor religions rather than a couple of dozen gods.
