- HL - D&D 5th Edition SRD (http://forums.wolflair.com/forumdisplay.php?f=89)

- - Deity choices (http://forums.wolflair.com/showthread.php?t=62025)

Does anyone know why the D&D pantheon is missing from the list to choose from?

There's Celtic, Egyptian, Greek and Norse, but none of the D&D deities. Yes, I know you can add them individually with 'custom deity', but why aren't they there to begin with?

The only thing I can think of is that the 5th ed SRD isn't "Officially" sanctioned or licensed with Wizards. I'm thinking this might be why since you can't choose Illithid as a race for NPC's, but it's just a guess, I'd like to know for sure if anyone knows.

Thanks

The deities you mention are the only ones in the SRD. The "D&D" ones are not part of the SRD. (A lot of the special monsters like beholder, illithid, etc are not Open Game Content - they aren't part of the SRD either, neither can someone like Paizo use them.)
If you download the Community Pack you will have a lot of extra options including additional deities.
