I've always been a big fan of the Forgotten Realms' selection of godly powers with a nice eclectic mix of characters from our own mythology and some generally solid creations of the authors' own. Powers and Pantheons is a good collection that expands on an already voluminous selection of deities within the Faerun, and gives the player a very wide choice of gods to choose from, be they good, evil, or indifferent. My only major gripes are some of the special abilities the priests get are sometimes too overpowering. Mostly, though it is the absurdity at the temple of Selune in Waterdeep. Apparently the goddess gifts her faithful with great big gobs of glowing white goo that resembles something that Cthulhu my blow out of his nose. I have visions of this naughty tentacle monster chasing squealing Selunites around the temple like some goofy Urutskodoji monster. Second is the moronic assertion that a lich is anything but EVIL! And so ALSO at the temple of Selune with the glowing goo is an arch lich...who is chaotic good...who sustains her appearance by life leeching evil creatures...and this is OKAY with people? Come on, creatures are CONSIDERED TO BE EVIL because they life leech other creatures, and a supposedly good aligned creature doing it to evil creature DOES NOT make it okay. Other than that, this is a solid work and a good addition for any DM who wants to add more religions to his or her campaign and maybe give players some new choices for faiths. Well worth a look.
