Re: Greater Deities
Your campaign; do as you see fit.
I only raised the issue because I had the impression that you were making a list of candidates for canon Greater Gods; if that was your intent, then Brahma definitely belongs on the list; no if's, and's, or but's. If your intent was to compose a list of Greater Gods for your campaign, that's a different story. |

Although as I said I think that Brahma's inclusion as powerful as a weak Superior in the GMG is based on a misperception of Hinduism, It is a pretty minor issue. Furthermore I'm aware that this is not the forum (heh) for getting canon changed.

Artemis was still a significant figure in the Renaissance; poets compared Elizabeth I, in her capacity as the Virgin Queen, to her. |

What's the status of the Roman gods vis-a-vis the Greek gods? Are they one and the same, or are they independent sets of entities? Because Neptune still has a fair amount of power under that name. See any account of a "crossing the line" ceremony for ritual honors paid to him in modern times. |

The interesting thing about them is that they were partially made out of beings worshipped in Catholicism. So they're sort of celestials converted into ethereals. Conceivably voodoo might legitimately be treated as another ethereal religion with some celestial powers. |
