Powers and Pantheons is a great book!, but I would buy the Faiths and Avatars book first. Powers and Pantheons is like a continued version of Faiths and Avatars, and it basicaly gives the information that Faiths and Avatars left out. So I suggest you get BOTH!!

A second rate FAITHS & AVATARS. It was well written and just as detailed as F&A, but there is WAY to much attention paid to the gods of distant lands. It felt like they wrote everything about the Faerunian deities and had 65 pages left that had to be filled.

Wanna buy a clue?
4 Feb 2000
Format:Paperback
Looks like the others who wrote reviews here don't uderstand the point of Powers and Pantheons. It's supposed to be part of a trilogy of books that detail the Forgotten Realms pantheon, the third book being Demihuman Deities. If your characters run all over the Realms, then the whole series is recommended. If not, Faith and Avatars, and (probably) Demihuman Deities will be more than enough.
My one gripe with the whole series is I don't think the specialty priests were playtested, or playtested enough. Some of them are overly powerful and can run roughshod over a campaign. To all DM's I caution, look carefully at the description of a particular specialty priest before allowing them to be PC's.

Excellent Work
9 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
This book isn't on the same level as the Faiths and Avatars, but it is still excellent. If you like being or running campaigns that deal with a lot of differing beliefs (Think Avatar Triology) then this is a must have. The priests' abilities are a little more balanced than F&A. Also if you are in a campaign where a complaint is a cleric is only a cleric there are enough different shades of clerics to have fun. If your setting is in the jungles or Chult or outlands of Thay, or you would like them to be, this book details all of the religions of that region. But if you only want to buy one book on Forgotten Realms religions, buy Faiths and Avatars first.

The rest of the human gods detailed.
21 April 1998
Format:Paperback
This book should not be used on it's own, unless you want up to date stuff on AD&D Egypt gods. It is more like a another half of the "Faiths and Avatars" book. This one details the Faerun demi-gods, the gods of the Jungles of Chult, and the gods of the old empires. The problem with this book is you need "Faiths and Avatars" for this book to work. The art is almost not existant. And the added stuff besides gods just does not compare to what was found in "Faiths and Avatars." Basically they give you 5 major temples to 5 gods in Faerun, one temple worships a dead god, but the others are alright. A must have for any Forgotten Realms DM, as long as you have "Faiths and Avatars."
