Same deities, different worlds? How does it work out?

[QUOTE="Xavim, post: 1152123, member: 14089"] The convention as I know it is thus: The gods exist as extra-planar beings that can grant divine power over vertually any interdimensional barriar. Thus, it follows that as long as they have followers on any given prime material world, they exist and interact there. I would say that any reference to Corellion, Lolth, Grummish ect. in different campaign worlds ARE in fact the same dieties. Greater gods, as your probably aware can manifest up to 20 Avatar simultaneously thus allow the God to actively defend/interact his faithful in 21 different locations at once (20 avatars 1 true form). And since the Dieties can multitask, having worshipers on different planes/worlds really wouldn't inhibit them. If the diety on a different world has a different holy symbol, that just goes to show the whims of a diety, I'd get pretty board of the same symbol after thousands of years too. But regardless of what is the 'norm' it is perfectly feasable that ALL of the scenarios that you described are true. If there are multiple realities of the same Prime World, then the gods may be different versions of themselves and so forth. So just go with whatever works for the flavour of the campaign. [/QUOTE]
