Obligatory disclaimer: This is for a PFS character, but it seems like a general rules question so I am asking here. If anyone knows of differences for PFS that help would he appreciated. The character is currently level 3 so a first level retraining is no longer an option.
I have an Inquisitor of Shelyn who grew up in a temple of Shelyn as a simple scribe. He never had much artistic or musical talent but was happy to transcribe the works of various other poets. Recently, he began adventuring with the Society though and found the life of exploration much more to his liking. He met several followers of Desna and found her tenets to actually fit him much better. He's actually good at exploration and finding new things; certainly better than sitting in a musty old room copying other artist's work.
The question is, is it possible for him to part ways with Shelyn and become a follower of Desna? If so, what are the consequences?
1. I assume this would require an atonement spell. Most likely a full 3000+ gold or 8pp version to restore spells, though since he didn't purposefully violate a tenet of Shelyn and the two gods are amicable towards each other there could be an argument for the cheaper variety. I'm fine with either of course, just want to get it right.
2. He would lose his fervor inquisition and would have to select an inquisition or domain from Desna's list.
3. He would lose proficiency with the glaive and gain proficiency with a starknife.
4. He would be subject to Desna's alignment restrictions, though I believe he already satisfies this one.
I think that would be it. As a personal matter he would probably bring gifts of various art pieces that he finds during his travels to the temple of Shelyn where he grew up, but in general would pursue his own goals.
TLDR: Is it legal (including PFS) to change deities as an inquisitor and what does it take to do it?
In PFS, divine casters can switch deities (and their underlying alignments) via the atonement spell. You would lose access to anything Desna could not provide that Sheyln did, and gain what a worshipper of Desna receives at that point (i.e. the domain/inquisition, preferred weapon proficiency, alignment restrictions, etc.). Such a change is the 8 PP or full material cost version of the spell.
