[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8073870, member: 2209"] I'd say Dawn War pantheon is my favorite as a pantheon because of the Dawn War history and the Cosmology. 4e did a great job here. Golarion probably has my favorite individual deities to use and build world elements around. I like a lot of pantheons in my D&D. I am very familiar with and enjoy a lot of the Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms pantheons, and a bunch of Dragonlance's pantheon. Cthulhu Mythos, Stormbringer Courts of Chaos, and the Chaos pantheon of Warhammer appeal to me a lot as well. Conan's Hyperborea with Marvel serpent Set, Crom, and others are great too. I like Eberron's mix of religions, particularly the druid factions, the Blood of Vol, the Dragon cults, the Silver Flame, and the Dark Six, but I can never remember the individuals of the Sovereign host, they blur together in my head and never really stood out beyond the amorphous host. I really like the [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/19676/Book-of-Fiends?affiliate_id=17596']Book of Fiends[/URL] from Green Ronin for evil archfiend deities, but [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/20694/Book-of-the-Righteous?affiliate_id=17596']Book of the Righteous[/URL] always left me cold other than the Asmodeus story part of it and the gods there blur for me as well. [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/133455/Birthright-Book-of-Priestcraft-2e?affiliate_id=17596']Birthright's pantheon[/URL] never grabbed me much either. I particularly like Lothian and the Holy Lothian Empire from [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/24802/Ptolus-Monte-Cooks-City-By-The-Spire-Ptolus-Core?affiliate_id=17596']Ptolus[/URL], but the rest of the pantheon (with a few exceptions like Father Claw and Gaen) leaves me pretty cold. Lothianism is a great way to have a mono/henotheistic sort of medieval church in polytheistic D&D, and a great way to incorporate a bunch of other elements I like in through saints or the displaced Old Gods. [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/3234/The-Divine-and-the-Defeated?affiliate_id=17596']Scarred Lands' Pantheon[/URL] with its titans and gods is a very D&Dified Greek titanomachy that works well and has a ton of story and flavor potential that reached deep through a lot of the Scarred Lands in great ways. D&D has also done pretty well with real world Norse, Greek, Egyptian, Babylonian and other pantheons in various versions of [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/110198/Deities--Demigods-1e?affiliate_id=17596']Deities and Demigods[/URL] and third party things like [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/28416/Lore-of-the-Gods?affiliate_id=17596']Lore of the Gods[/URL].
