I'm a monothiest in real life, so a God each for "good" "evil" and "neutral" is already too many. (Mind you I played my third time through as an evil Talosian Priest.)

But anyhow don't you think it would limit the clerics even more. Already we have no end to complaints about this class and that class, and this class sucks and that class could open up a can of whoop ass on this one.

So say as per the 2nd edition handbook you had a Priest of a Sea Deity whose main weapon is a Trident, or an Agriculture Deity whose main weapon is a pitchfork. Do we have the 'Crom Faer' of pitchforks in the game somewhere? There are so many weapons options already. Also the Mages 'specialisation' is a joke. There's only a few spells they can't cast and none only they can cast.

Anyway I think the designers did a damn good job interpreting extensive Ad&d rules and am ecstatic that the game exists. You can't please everybody, so when something comes along that I hate (like Minsc) I try and think..."oh well it's better than playing badminton".
