My friends and I have had some differing interpretations regarding "the extent of what deities can accomplish" in Pathfinder. Are there established canonical answers to these questions, or are they purely left to GM discretion?
1. Deific Power Over Celestial Bodies:
Can deities effortlessly (specifically, within the span of a few breaths and without exertion) destroy entire planets (e.g., Mars, Earth, Jupiter, or even Golarion) or stars (like the Sun)—not just scour their surfaces—with ease?
2. Desna's Stars and the Black Butterfly:
In the lore snippet:
"When Desna placed stars in the sky, the darkness between them birthed the Black Butterfly, also called Desna's Shadow. Notably, one of the stars on her wings is her weapon, Starblade, Void's Edge, which she can pluck and hurl."
— Are the stars Desna created akin to actual stars (like the Sun) in scale and nature, or are they more symbolic/cosmetic (e.g., stage props)?
3. Scope of Divine Authority:
If such feats are possible:
- Is this capability universal among all deities, or restricted to those with domains tied to stars/cosmos?
- How do demigods or quasi-deities (e.g., empyreal lords, archdevils) compare in this regard?
