I like the idea.... though I would VERY much like gods modeled after  
existing religions. It'd be a royal pain to have all our religions  
suddenly be, well, essential nonentities. Would gods be essentially  
GM characters, or something else?

Also, how would one, erm... access, so to speak, one's deity? Would  
it basically just be a priest ability, or something randomly  
accessable, or what?
