    Trelmarixian the Black
    Osirion rakur (Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber), Fri, Nov 6, 2009, 09:37 AM

    I have a question about the archdaemons. I don't actually own the campaign setting yet for Pathfinder, but I ran across them on the Pathfinder wiki. I was going to make a cleric of Trelmarixian the Black, horseman of Famine, but I noticed on a sidebar the wiki mentions that the only allowable alignment for its clerics is NE, LE, and CE. The Horseman's alignment is NE. Is something mentioned somewhere that archdaemon's clerics don't follow the normal rule of allowing clerics to be one step away from their deity. Normally, a cleric of a NE deity could be neutral.

    Thanks!

    It's my understanding that a cleric can only be True Neutral if his/her deity is also True Neutral. Page 39 says that they can only be one step away on the Law/Chaos axis or the Good/Evil axis. So Trelmarixian's allowable alignments would be correct.

    I really don't understand. If you look at the alignment chart on 166, it says that a cleric must be within one step of their deity's alignment. Neutral is one step away from Neutral Evil on the Good/Evil axis. Now if cleric's can't be true neutral unless their deity is, then that explains it. But I can't find anywhere that says that. I'm not saying you're wrong, I just am trying to understand how it works.

    Most of the deities' articles on the wiki were written under 3.5 rules, so the old cleric alignment restriction applied at the time those sidebars were created. We will probably go back and change them all once there is a clear ruling from Paizo that the neutral cleric restriction was removed.
