Double checking, only the ones in the CRB and otherwise the same PFS limitations, right?

Correct, only the deities listed on page 43 of the CRB. As per standard PFS (RPG Guild Guide page 10), a cleric, paladin or any character who receives mechanical benefit from worshipping a deity must have a legal deity and must be within one step of alignment of the deity.

Thanks.

I wonder if there are any mentioned on Chronicles? And how would that work? A Chronicle giving access to a diety?

I think that's an awesome idea! Especially as an alternate to a boon that can't be really used in CORE.

Like making the Bekyar Demon Dancer a legal Skald archetype for Standard (Maybe with some provisions... but I'm mostly just using it an example), but also allows the worship of some Mwangi demon gods like Angazhan, Dagon, and Zura for CORE characters who can't use the boon otherwise. Would definitely allow for some more options for clerics in CORE, at least.

Sovereign Court

I can think of one deity given by chronicle.

does the name start with an "L"?

Sovereign Court

Nope. Not even in any of the books as a full fledged deity actually, the chronicle gives the stat info you need because it isn't anywhere else. Mentioned, but not given player info.

Oh, somewhat related.

If I have two classes with the same domain access (like druid and cleric), they don't stack and considered independent, right?

I did ask in rules, and they said they don't stack, but you can take the same domain twice in this manner. Seems worthy of a double check.

Mainly, I'm looking at my Core Druid with the Fire domain and wondering if taking a level in cleric with that same fire domain would be a decent call or not.

There are no PFS-specific rules allowing abilities from different classes to stack. Only if the class or a feat specifically allows them to do so do they stack. So the answer you got in the rules forum is correct.

This is a non-Core example:
Advanced Player's Guide - Inquisitor wrote:
If the inquisitor has cleric levels, one of her two domain selections must be the same domain selected as an inquisitor. Levels of cleric and inquisitor stack for the purpose of determining domain powers and abilities, but not for bonus spells.

That works for me. Gonna try something interesting and run 3 elemental domains. Druid with Fire Domain, then another level as Cleric of Gozreh with Water and Air domains. Pretty sure that's legal.

I'll end up with 3 domains which all have a 1d6 elemental damage ranged touch attack available 3+Wis times per day. Not overly strong, but useful to have in the party. Never tried on like this, so it will be interesting.
