Most of the head deities of the demihuman pantheons, such as Corellon Larethian and Moradin, for example, are both obviously demihuman powers but are also mentioned in the Player's Handbook and as such core powers as well. Note that there is some overlap between the categories. This includes the demon princes and archdevils as well as some other godlike beings. Non-deity powers - These beings would fit into the previous category, but are not actually deities.

Whether they should be considered true deities or not is debated.

Monster powers - This refers to the deities of the monstrous races intended as enemies of the players rather than player races.

Demihuman powers - This refers to deities worshipped by core races besides humans (such as elves and dwarves).

There is a subset within this category called Additional Deities which has deities not mentioned in the core rulebooks but instead in supplements and as such considered additions to the core category. Most of these deities are worshipped by humans.

Core powers - Those deities presented in the 3.5th edition Player's Handbook or substantially introduced in the other two core books ( Dungeon Master's Guide and Monster Manual).
