[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8413849, member: 6801228"] So... having a massive empire with a state-run religion based on yourself is not "being worshipped out in the open and by lots of people" because the enslaved didn't follow the state religion? How much more "out in the open" do you have to be than a state religion? Huh? The only thing I've described like that is the elves in my homebrew world and that is a very specific set of circumstances that I haven't recopied anywhere else. Other than that most of the Demon Lords and Archdevils are worshiped in secret in my worlds. So, I have no idea where you suddenly have this idea of "massive amounts of worshipers" that I've described. You seem to just be making it up, or you are getting confused about looking at them as a multiversal power, which would give them a sizable amount of worhsipers. Because, here is something you are missing, we have multiple entire RACES who worship these beings in DnD proper. It is literally the entire point of the ixitxachitls is that they worship Demogorgon. Same with Gnolls. Now, let me mention a name. Uthgar. Uthgar is a god, a lesser god, but a god. He is one of 18 beings worshipped by the Uthgardt barbarian tribes. No one else, in all of the multiverse worships this guy. He is exclusive to the tribes, because he was a great hero of these people. Now, the Uthgardt are an off-shoot of humanity. So, explain this too me. Every single gnoll in Faerun as of 5e, worships Yeenoghu. I know in older editions there were one or two groups that worshipped other beings, but by far the most massive worship of gnolls is Yeengohu. Since this is true, how is it that a small tribe of humans, with 18 different deities is producing more worshipers THAN THE ENTIRE GNOLL RACE. And even if I do homebrew something, like a city devoted to Orcus, I'm still not pulling the idea out of nowhere, since we have entire races worshipping these beings. You critique makes no sense.
