Although I understand why it isn't, I don't like it either. In part because I think a lot of it is poorly designed, and in part because that poor design screws up the Realms. And I totally get your comments about different people not liking certain things. I don't have dragonborn in my campaign for example. But that's just it, I just drop them. Tieflings don't have horns and tails in my campaign.Your comments still lead me to believe that monotheism is OK with you. Even though your character would still be worshiping a person because they are powerful.But in the game, you're not only worshiping them because they are powerful. You're also worshiping them because they give you special abilities and spells. So it's a far cry from worshiping the president.I have to admit I don't really recall the other polytheistic flavor in the PHB, but then I tend to look at it specifically to get crunch, not fluff. I ignore almost all of the fluff, because that majority of it is irrelevant in my campaign, even though I run it in the Realms. Even the deity stuff is different in my campaign (similar, but different enough). I, however, do enjoy exploring how religion impacts the world, so I have quite a bit more of it in my campaign.Regardless, as I said, I was asking out of curiosity. You don't have to justify your dislike of polytheism for me or anybody else. I can't make them take polytheism out of D&D, but you are welcome to ignore it and I'm assuming that since you're on the boards that you are able to find a group that respects that.</blockquote>
