Wasn't thinking of going into the character alignment bottomless pit
but yes the main gods would have a leaning towards good, evil or
neutral and for the most part I think PC's would follow suit but there
are always exceptions to the rule.

Definitely something to ponder and work around like I said I am trying to
figure out away to add in this type of character and the original rule set
did not flesh them out well so to speak. Didn't say I had it figured out
yet.
Just tossing it out to see what results I get so to speak.

I was also thinking about something along this line with maybe some altered
watered down or beefed up spells for Cleric/Druid types

No this is where a modification would come in or the spell would not be
able to be used at all.
