[QUOTE="Toric_Arthendain, post: 3016871, member: 9833"] One book that immediately springs to mind for me that most people really didn't like but that I have gotten use from is the 3e version of Deities and Demigods. Every time I see that book mentioned, it is with loathing. While I understand that sentiment and can see that it definitely wasn't for everyone, I have found use from it anyway. I use it as a guide for creating my own deities for my homebrew setting. I've used the write-up format from the book for writing up my own deities. Not the stat block write-up but the write-up that pertains to clerics and other followers of a specific deity. Basically I've stolen ideas from the book. I have no interest in using any of the deities as written and I could honestly care less for actual deities that are statted out. When would anyone ever use a deity to a point that they need actual game stats for them? I have found use from simply modeling some of my own deities after those in the book, taking a bit from here and a bit from there. The book has essentially helped me to create my own pantheon. EDIT: I should add that I only paid half price for the book. [/QUOTE]
