Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 1297453" data-attributes="member: 114">The way you have it set up makes it sounds like there are just a bunch of gods (called saints) and a big uber-god; it sounds rather like ordinary polytheistic but with a slightly different flavour.I run a single-deity campaign and have tackled it in a slightly different way which might be interesting for you to consider:1. The deity (Asura) isn't universally worshipped yet. There is a home nation which is a theocracy where worship of Asura is universal, but the further you are from the home nation the less you will see in terms of temples and "reach" of the priesthood. It is a missionary faith, always seeking to spread.2. Asura has many "aspects", and there are different sub-cults which worship these various aspects e.g. Asura the cleansing fire (healing and fire), Asura the fount of knowledge (knowledge and water), Asura the implacable warrior (War and Good). Rivalries and alliances exist between these subcults, enabling some politicking within the system. There are also tolerated evil subcults (lawful evil ones) such as Asura the Vengeful Ravager (war and fire) and banned chaotic evil subcults.I fully understand if you don't want to tackle it this way, and for something which might be closer to your vision I would recommend reading Sepulchrave's story hour(s); It is based around a world with a single monolithic deity (Oronthon) with a whole angelic hierarchy, diabolic hierarchy and demonic hierarchy (two groups of fallen angels).<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=58227" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=58227</a>You might want to consider where Druids gain their power from in a monotheistic setting too.Cheers</blockquote>
