Faiths & Pantheons is an accessory for the 3rd-edition of Dungeons & Dragons® for the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. The accessory detailed the mechanics of the system established at the end of the Time of Troubles.
“
Whether cleric or commoner, wizard or warrior, nearly everyone in Faerûn pays homage to at least one patron deity. Some of those divine powers inspire respect, while others elicit fear. Good or evil, all of them coexist within these pages. Complete information for key gods, along with the powers and abilities granted to their most dedicated followers, and descriptions of supporting deities combine to provide this look at all the gods of the Forgotten Realms® Campaign Setting.
- Over 115 gods
- 20 specialty priest prestige classes
- Maps of four temples
To use this accessory, a Dungeon Master also needs the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, the Player's Handbook, the Dungeon Master's Guide, and the Monster Manual.[1]
