Inner Sea Gods and the Warpriest


Rules Questions


Has there been any ruling on if the per-deity Variant Spellcasting rules of Inner Sea Gods extends to the Warpriest? I know the ACG was released after ISG, but not by long, so there musth ave been some thoughts internally as to this interaction.

"Clerics and paladins of Shelyn may prepare charm person as a 1st-level spell and good hope as a 4th-level spell; inquisitors may learn these spells at the same levels. Shelynite clerics may prepare sympathy as an 8th-level spell, but can cast it on works of a rt only. All priests of Shelyn treat charm animal as if it were a 2nd-level spell on their class spell list."

Is the warpriest left out from these options entirely, simply by nature of when the books were written?

Warpriests use the Cleric list, so I see no reason you can't give them the same spells at the same levels. I guess that's technically not RAW, but I can't imagine many GMs are gonna complain about it.

It would be hard to argue that a warpriest is not a priest, so they would at least get charm animal.

Heh, but yeah, "Priest" is a term for anyone who worships said deity.

And I agree with Deadmanwalking, since they use the same spell list.


I guess the same logic can be applied to Hunters when the deity modifies Druid and/or Ranger casting

It's explicitly stated in the Divine Anthology, which is available generally soon and is already with some subscribers.

Ooo, I missed that.

Stated that they DO gain them specifically, or that they ARE treated as clerics for this capability? (Not a subscriber, so no access for me yet)

Given the explanation used, it seems only reasonable to treat hunters as druids for that purpose as well. ^_^

Personally, I'd treat them as Druids or Rangers as a few of the deities have unique ranger spells or uniquely levelled ranger spells.

Good point - didn't even occur to me. ^_^
