No appendix on gods of the multiverse? Darn

Yup, not anywhere else in this book, neither.

Curiously, there are 8 D&D Settongs mentioned in the copyright notice, one of which is a big surprise to come up in the book: Dark Sun.

I'm glad the "how to play" rules are all condensed before the "how to create a character" rules. When I introduce a new player to D&D I say which chapters are essential to read and which ones are just character creation, and they are always surprised the 300+ pages book only have 30 or something pages of actual rules.

With only four domains, the gods in a pantheon would look even more repetitive than the '14 version.

It seems easy to rehabilitate Dark Sun, especially toward the end of the timeline. And it has many interesting things going on.


(LOL! Or maybe theyll just throw it into the blackhole after all.)

 

[Maxperson]

Confirmed no gods in the book.

No gods at all, or no real world pantheons? It would be silly to give players the cleric and paladin classes, but no gods at all to pick from.

Not in the PHB at any rate.

Probably because they change so much from setting to setting.

That's an incomplete PHB. To allow every other class to be made completely from the PHB, but not clerics or paladins is pretty bad. They should have included Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, and Dragon Lance at the very least.

Definitely suggests they haven't given up on Dark Sun entirely. Curious to know where it comes up.

No gods at all. What God a Cleric gets their power from is flavor, not a rule. Seems it is being left to the DM to fit into their Setting.
