[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 6693614, member: 29398"] Yes, yes and yes. All in the same campaigns, in fact. Norse, Celtic and Greek pantheons commonly; Roman and Egyptian less often; Aztec and some others rarely. The base pantheons stay roughly the same from world to world (the gods *are universal, after all) but each campaign has a few variants (usually local twistings of established pantheons). Of course. Each kindred race (Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Hobbit) has its own pantheon. Humans have several, based on their root culture. Monsters have thier own deities as well. Crossbreeds (Part-Elves, Part-Orcs) have to find a deity from somewhere if they want one, they don't specifically have any of their own. Not really. In fact it could easily be argued I've gone the other way - Druids as written aren't really intended to have deities as such but I long ago changed that; they're Nature Clerics now and follow deities just like any other Clerics. For my current campaign as an example the deity write-ups can be found here: [url]www.friendsofgravity.com/games/decast/decast_pantheons_main.html[/url] Lanefan [/QUOTE]
