Ah I do love seeing that I am not the only one to have tried this. Now if I can get this cult to work out like the last one. Though last time the Lady came into existence. Ah well it was still fun leading a fanatic cult to the goddess of fortune. Even made an order within the cult that in pathfinder terms would be inquisitor/rouges that were completely loyal to the Lady and their leader(me). If we had continued I am sure the DM would have found a way to turn that against me, especially since the character became deathly afraid of water after watching his closest friend get turned into water by punching an abolith, I forget the name the giant catfish like creatures that command the H.P. Lovecraft feel.

thank you everyone for the help so far. I do not know if that particular book will be implemented or any of its components. I do have an escape plan formulated. One that does have several contingencies, variations, and routes to take for a number of different scenarios. As for the creature someone mentioned earlier that is indeed one plan I had given thought to and one of the reasons I wanted to know if clerics could use divine magic without a god. Essentially I leave the slot empty and should such a need arise make such a creature the "god", especially if an angel or demon from another god comes after us.

We have not started playing yet and last time I made a religion it was grand. So I thought why not set out to do it again. I mean its an evil party most likely many of my plans will never see fruition. But it is good to know that clerics can still cast divine spells without a "god". Please do let me know if you people can think of any other problems or can help fine tune the idea by pointing out possible routes or experiences in this field. I wish it had not been so long since the last religion one of my characters made. But then again last time so many people began following it the "god" became real and then I had to do all sorts of things.

Alright everyone I looking for any problems that would occur from a player creating a religion in game. For example let us say an evil party comes to town and one character walks up to the leader of the town and makes some speak to this leader about how he wishes to establish a church, shrine, or whatever you want to call the place of religious gathering in this town. The character plans to set up the religion of a god he completely made up. The character is from a somewhat distant land that has relatively no contact with the area he is currently in and claims it is a god of his home land. He also plans to use this as a way to amass a following for his own goals. Now if the character takes cleric levels in this "god" what problems should be expected from this. Also I wonder how the divine magic will work since it is a god that does not really exist.

Please do feel free to leave any feed back as it has been quite some time since I created a religion in game and do not remember the repercussions. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
