5.0 out of 5 stars A great book with a great deal of usefull info., 14 Feb 2000
By A Customer
The info in this book can really spice up your priest's background- whether you'd want to follow a dark and twisted god, a typical paladin-like god or just one of the more neutral elemental lords, this book offers all the neccesary info. On top of it all, every religion has it's own pair of new spells and a specialty priest class, each class having it's own unique abilities. To finish it off, it has a couple of extra priest kits like the monk and the mystic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful for ANY Campaign or DM, 4 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This is an amazing product!!! While best suited for an FR Campaign, any DM could benefit from the information here, especially from the section on each god's dogma and the Specialty Priests (after all, Tempus is a pretty typical war god and that Talos kit works well for priest of a god like Zeus). The Demihuman Deities book is perhaps even more useful as these gods, like Moradin and Corellon, are involved in many D&D worlds. GET THE BOOK!!! No matter what the bad reviews may say, this IS NOT reprinted stuff... the SP kits in FR Adventures were terrible and as far as sitting down and doing all this yourself, GOOD LUCK! This is the best roleplaying product in the TSR line.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great! But do you need it?, 24 Jul 1999
By A Customer
The book is excellent, exhaustive, and well written. However there isn't a whole lot here that cannot be gained from the core FR books and a little imagination. Does a role playing based campain need statistic for avatars? No. PCs should never come into conflict with them. Based solely on price I would say Monster Mythology is better. You don't actually need Powers and Pantheons to be complete.
