[QUOTE="Knight Otu, post: 1611719, member: 192"] I mentioned this in the current General Discussion thread, but I think it is a big enough concern to deserve its own thread. Currently, we use a format that looks much like this: [color=silver][size=5][b]Name[/b][/size][/color] [size=1][i]Pronounciation[/i][/size] [size=3][i]Nicknames[/i][/size] [b]Deity Status[/b] [b]Symbol:[/b] [b]Home Plane:[/b] [b]Alignment:[/b] [b]Portfolio:[/b] [b]Worshippers:[/b] [b]Cleric Alignments:[/b] [b]Domains:[/b] [b]Favored Weapon:[/b] Does anyone think we should switch to the XPH/CD format, which is: [color=silver][size=5][b]Name[/b][/size][/color] [b]Deity Status (Alignment) [/b][size=2]Description, with paragraphs on worshipers, symbol, (potentially home plane) and favored weapon.[/size] [b]Portfolio:[/b] [b]Domains: [/b][b]Cleric Training:[/b] (Potentially Cleric Alignments) [b]Quests:[/b] [b]Prayers: Temples: Rites: Herald and Allies:[/b] The herald is the kind of creature a deity sends to the material plane when it needs to intervene in mortal affairs, usually a CR 13-15; Allies are those creatures usually sent as [i]planar allies[/i], as per the spell chain. I can see a few problems with switching formats, one of which is the varying amount of detail given the gods, which range from low (Hyrag) to extreme (Jareth). There is also the question of home planes. Currently, Enworld has no set planar cosmology. Many gods have been assigned to standard planes of the Great Wheel. Since the Great Wheel is not in the SRD, I would argue that we need a different cosmology, but keep is "wheel-shaped". I attached a file that lists the currently approved deities. [/QUOTE]
