[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8410911, member: 6915329"] In the 5e DMG, under "Other Religious Systems," it says: "[I]Monotheistic religions revere only one deity, and in some cases, deny the existence of any other deity. If you introduce a monotheistic religion into your campaign, you need to decide whether other gods exist. Even if they don't, other religions can exist side by side with the monotheistic religion.
