I suppose this was done somewhat with Legends & Lore from past editions, but I don't have that on hand to quote from.The most well known pantheons in our collective mythological conscious are the Greek, Norse and Egyption pantheons, which he boiled down to:Greek: Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Dionysus, Hades, Hecate, Hephaestus, Hera, Hermes, Hestia, Poseidon, ZeusEgyptian: Ra, Anubis, Apep, Bast, Geb, Horus, Isis, Nephthys, Osiris, Seker, Set, Shu, ThothNorse: Odin, Balder, Bragi, Frey, Freya, Frigga, Heimdall, Hel, Loki, Sif, Surtur, Thor, Tyr, Thrym, UllerThose, in turn, could be trimmed down to:Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Hades, Hephaestus, Hera, Hermes, Poseidon, ZeusRa, Anubis, Horus, Isis, Osiris, Set, ThothOdin, Frey, Freya, Loki, Sif, Surtur, Thor, Tyr, ThrymI think those are probably our choices from real world pantheons for inclusion in the pantheon. I think perhaps that Hera, Zeus, Ra and Odin rule themselves out though because a D&D pantheon doesn't usually have a leader.Boccob - IsisEhlonna - ArtemisErythnul - AresFharlanghn - HermesHeironeous - TyrHextor - AsmodeusKord - ThorNerull - HadesObad-Hai - PoseidonOlidammara - LokiPelor - ApolloSt. Cuthbert - HorusVecna - SetWee Jas - OsirisCorellon Larethian - FreyGarl Glittergold - ThothMoradin - HephaestusGruumsh - SurturYondalla - FreyaNot that those are necessarily translations, but just a prediction of who takes whos spot.</blockquote>
