Ditto here.  I'm trying to redo the cosmology section for P&P,
changing some of it and adding some, to make it more in line with real
mythoses (on which it is closely based).  I don't intend to give
statistics or "rate" the gods in any way.  I prefer to just have the
description and base powers off that.

However, having priests gain certain abilities depending on the
pantheon they worship makes a lot of sense.  The current priest
abilities are all based on Mesopotamian religion, which in Powers and
Perils is the Court of Ashur and a few other gods scattered in other
places (i.e. Tiamat, Apsu, etc..).  I would like to do priests for the
other pantheons as well.  The court of Metatron would be an
interesting one I think!  This is based on Persian/Zoroastrian
religion.  This is more like early Judaism.  Many angels and demons.

Tim.
