I also played a cleric of the Great Spirit from the North American Indian pantheon in a 2e game.I run a big mashup campaign setting.I use the ancient Mediterranean as my model, lots of different religions near each other. I consciously try to have multiple pantheons for various groups including non-humans.So the elves of the south were basically the Ancient Egyptians with that pantheon while the continental ones are split between the D&D elven pantheon and the Erde pantheon while northern ones are followers of Vanir gods from the norse pantheons.I had one game where different groups of hired orc thugs kept shouting how they worshipped One-Eye! For the first group it was Gruumsh. For the second it was Odin. For the third it was Balor. For a fourth it was going to be Vecna and a fifth would have been Talos.Yes, druidism being the big one. I have a lot of clerical orders that are basically non-deity based occult societies and as a world element philosophies are a big thing. I like the whole "will of heaven" and taoist and buddhist style of religion viewpoints.I was a big fan of The Light theme in the Wheel of Time books and the color temples in the Books of Swords series.</blockquote>
