[Tales and Chronicles]

The PHB doesnt give you named Fiend for your warlock patron or Tiefling lineage, nor does it gives named options for the progenitor of my dragon sorcerer. Does that make those options unplayable?

 

[Maxperson]

Most games are homebrew...?

I don't see that as mattering. Enough games use the produced settings to make the sale of them worthwhile. That's a LOT of games. Enough to warrant the big four having their gods take 2 pages.

One might make yhst case, but WotC decided otherwise...and they see the ones with data on what people are doing, etc.

Leaving it to the DM just makes sense.

Feel the thread should be updated with a better picture of the ToC. This is from the Beyond Marketplace.

Whereas I can see the Itialian one. I mean come on, just cause I am in Europe.

I will go out on a limb and agree (to some extent) with Maxperson. While I think you can play a cleric without the name of a god, I think a list of gods would have been far more useful for players than a description of the multiverse. Most campaigns won't visit the outer planes

I agree that those pages too should be in the DMG...

 

[mamba]

No. When you decide to play a cleric you decide, "I'm going to be a cleric of Pelor and take the life domain as my subclass."

and then you learn that the setting you play in is Dragonlance and there is no Pelor...

It would take a page or two to put in the 4 most commonly played settings. FR, Greyhawk, Eberron and Dragonlance. If the game isn't homebrew, it's going to be one of those 4 the vast majority of the time.

that still does not help with homebrew, there simply is no way to account for all settings, so they might as well not bother with any. It's not like you cannot ask your DM during char creation

 

[mamba]

Only living beings are immortal. A cosmic force is not mortal or immortal. It just is. Like gravity.

arguable an immortal being also just is

Plus, and WotC is aware of this...all the possible D&D formal pantheons are on the internet.
