Minor Detail

[ralphmelton.livejournal.com]

The town's priest is named Brion. (Whether or not he's the town's only priest and the one Monica has referred to in his journal depends rather on whether Steve and Ruth play again.)

Brion is a kind man, a competent healer, and something of a scholar; he is somewhat timorous of combat.

I agree about paladins and clerics. "Just plain folks" can have a more casual relationship with the entire pantheon, but those actively dedicated to the religion would have a "patron", so to speak.

Evil gods: this actually ties into the whole question of the alignment system (which I think you said you kind of wanted to ignore for now). I don't think anyone decides to "be evil"; it's just that his definition of "good" is one that most others don't agree with. (Ironically, yeserday afternoon the adult study -- between services -- revolved around the question of whether humans are naturally good, naturally evil, or naturally neutral. Maybe I'll bring it up in my journal.)
