Point Calculations

Priests of greater gods are based on 140 points. Lesser gods are based on the standard 120 points, and demigods on 100 points. Demon lords and princes and archdevils are treated as lesser gods, but are required to take the Talisman and Personal Contact limitations for their priesthoods, unless otherwise noted. The point system (not yet completed) is explained under my skills and powers section.

Experience Tables and Spell Casting

Priests (and shamans, etc.) of lesser and greater gods can cast spells of up to the seventh level, except where specified. Priests of Demigods can cast spells of up to the sixth level, again except where specified.

Priests and Shamans use the standard clerical experience table for purposes of advancement. Druids use the druid experience table (of course), and Crusaders use the fighter table. Any experience penalties are applied to the costs listed in the Player's Handbook, so a Crusader with a +15% experience cost requires 2300 experience to make 2nd level -- his or her experience gained is unaffected.

Sources and Inspirations

My write-ups of the Gods of Greyhawk are based on prior work by TSR, Inc, although I've made substantial expansions to some of the gods (for example, most of the Background sections are my own work). Many sources, both canon and non-canon, were used as references. This is by no means a complete listing.
