Gods and God Feats

The gods, regardless of their race, take worshippers from any race. Rather, the race is just how the peoples view them. So yes, a Dwarf could worship the mother goddess, or the daughter, or the son. The worship of the god of one's own race is somewhat more common, but not greatly so... it is by no means rare having, say, an elf worship the dwarf father god. Think of it like ancient Greece, where although Athena was the patron god of Athens, Athenians worshipped all the gods. The same may be said of gender and the god's gender - males are more likely to follow male gods, but not greatly so.

As for god specific feats, I haven't thought much on them, but considered going by ear as needed, by putting the feat with whatever god best fit the "expertise" of the book god. However, as you really need to know to make your characters... (pulling out my book):

Feat God New name
Armour of Bahamut - mother Ellaselle' Protection
Avandra's Rescue - daughter Paksee's/Fenor's Rescue
Correllon's Grace - daughter & son Paksee's Grace
Harmony of Erathris - father Harmony of Kurn
Ioun's Poise - son Fenor's Poise
Kord's Favor - father Kurn's Favor
Melora's Tide - mother Ellaselle's Balm
Moradrins's resolve - daughter Paksee's Resolve
Pelor's Radiance - father Kurn's Radiance
Raven Queen's Blessing - mother Ellaselle's Blessing
Sehanin's Reversal -son Fenor's Reversal

So, each god has 3 feats, with the son & daughter sharing Avandra's Rescue. For feats that come up in further books, I will need to decide on them when they come out.
I think that's all of them... if I missed any, please let me know so that I can rejig them.
Incidentally, I will be sending an update of that original e-mail shortly, as I have changed a few things and am adding a fair bit. One thing I have done is give the gods names (which you should be able to figure out from the above).
