[QUOTE="helium3, post: 4048859, member: 31301"] All right, so I was using a wee bit of hyperbole when I said the above. Let me see if I can clarify my point with a bit of hypothetical conversation. So as I see it, the result they've arrived at is a response to an extension of the belief that NPC's and PC's should operate according to the same set of rules. The Designers have been very clear that NPC's and PC's do not operate according to the same set of rules. So, what I'm wondering about is why it seems like in this one specific (and unimportant instance) they appear to have caved. Don't get me wrong though. I'm not actually upset about this or even care all that much. It's just something I noticed that I thought was odd. Ehh. I agree that the 3E pantheon wasn't realistic. But, it also didn't go to the same lengths to make every god relevant to adventurers. Also, I'm sure it seems like the Sun and Farming go together, but I'm not sure that from a historical sense they typically did.

Anyhow, it doesn't really matter since no one pays any attention to religious stuff anyway. [/QUOTE]
