Unleash the Power of the Gods!

Through the miracles of priests and the weapons of crusaders, the deities of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game command unrivaled influence over the lands of the Inner Sea. Tap into their incredible might with Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Gods! Inside you’ll discover the deepest secrets of an entire pantheon of incomparable beings, claim relics suited to both sinners and saints, and wield immortal might as a character of any background, race, or class. No longer does the favor of the gods belong to clerics, paladins, and other divine spellcasters alone—choose your faith and make holy power your own!

This volume expands upon the world and religions detailed in Pathfinder Campaign Setting: The Inner Sea World Guide. Inside this tome of mysteries, you’ll find:

  • Massive articles on the most powerful deities of the Pathfinder campaign setting, revealing everything you need to know about the gods and their followers, temples, adventurers, holy days, otherworldly realms, divine minions, and more!
  • Details on nearly 300 deities from across the Inner Sea region and beyond.
  • New prestige classes to imbue you with the power of the gods! What’s more, each of these three classes is uniquely customized to make worshipers of all 20 core gods mechanically distinct from each other—that’s 60 different prestige class variations!
  • Tons of new feats to help optimize your character and make you a champion of the church.
  • More than 140 magic items tailored to religious characters of all classes! Unleash righteous wrath or spread divine corruption with sacred armor, weapons, altars, holy symbols, and other relics for every faith.
  • A library of spells and subdomains to help your caster sow destruction, spread divine love, or remake reality in your god’s name!
  • Character traits to help you get the most out of your character’s beliefs and backstory.
  • Dozens of monsters, including high-level heralds and divine servitors for Pathfinder’s most prominent deities.

Must have for divine players and GM

5/5 —

While it looks like a cleric book at first sight this is way more.
Of course; clerics, inquisitors, oracles, warpriests and (anti)paladins wil benefit the most, but now you can also make a fighter a soldier of god by taking the sentinel class, or make a Desna rogue and gain access to the feats. The feats, traits, spells and boons make the difference between the gods a lot greater, witch also adds more flavor. In the corebook the weapon and domains where the only stats of a deity, but the fire domain didn't give a character more Asmodues feel, because a Sarenrea priest could take it to. With these Deity specific feats, boon etc. it can become a big deal witch you choose.

The 3 archetypes are all good, divine casters can go exalted, martials can take sentinel classes and everyone can go evangelist.

Now the big deal for me:
As a GM you can at so much flavor:
Example: giving the bad guys in your torture chamber Zon-Kuthon feats, prestige classes and spells.

Love this book.

Ring Side Report- RPG Review of Inner Sea Gods

4/5 —

Originally posted at www.throatpunchgames.com, a new idea everyday!

Product- Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Gods
Producer-Paizo
System-Pathfinder
Price-~$30
TL; DR-If you want to know about the main Golarion gods, get this book. 90%

Basics- Inner Sea Gods is the first hard cover book discussing Golarion in a long time from Paizo, and as the name suggests, it focuses on the gods of the inner sea region. Chapter one discusses the big 20-the top gods of the setting. Each god gets a few pages discussing important stats for this god and prestige classes for characters of this god, the gods beliefs, the priesthood, the church, temples and shrines, a priest's role in the world, how adventures see the god, clothing of worshipers, holy texts, holidays, aphorisms, relations between religions, the gods realm, planar allies, and a sidebar for characters of this god for different items, archetypes and character options. Each god also gets a picture of a worshiper and the god itself. After the main deities' chapter, the second string of deities gets a chapter with each deity getting half a page followed by a section on race specific pantheons. Next is a chapter on character options including three new prestige classes, feats, traits, domains spells, and items. The book finishes with new monsters and quick stat tables on the gods.

Theme or fluff- I liked and didn't like this one. What was here was great, but what wasn't was what really made this disappointing. The first chapter of the book is amazing! The write up on each god is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to learn about the gods of this world. However, I would have gladly traded any items and spells in this book for more page space on the second string deities. That was what I really wanted from this book. Gods like Besmara already have a deity write up that could have been copy/pasted from the Adventure Paths (AP) right in this book! And that's the assumed default god of the second highest selling AP! Heck, some gods don't even get the half page as some race deities get less than a paragraph in the pantheons. Now, I know this is kind of nit-picking as +90% of players will pick a main god and use that, but those minor god details are important to me. 4/5

Mechanics or Crunch-This was done well even if I wanted more fluff in the book. Instead of making an ungodly (ha puns!) number of different prestige classes, Paizo made three, BUT each god gives different powers depending on the god the character serves. That right there, along with CMB/CMD, is the smartest thing Paizo has added to the 3.X system! I don't need a book with three classes per god (basically the standard Paizo three: skill monkey, fighter, and caster); I can have two pages explaining each class and 1/2 a page per god giving each god's specific powers for those three. That frees up page space that was much better used and solved a problem in a smart way. The feats, items, monsters, and powers provided by the book are also well done too. Like any large book, there are winners and losers for all the options provided, but overall it's not bad. I think the alters and item are far overpriced for the bonus you get though. As above, since the non-core gods don't get much more than half a page, you can't out of the box play the new prestige classes with the obscured gods. But, those are minor problems. 4.5/5

Execution- It's not a bad book. I might have problems with content, but Paizo knows how to really put a bunch in each book. The art helps keep the reader from getting bored since you are in essence reading at least 150 pages of fake theology textbook. Item, spell, power, class layout is as great as ever. I find nothing to complain about here. 5/5

Summary- If you play Pathfinder and are a cleric, then this book is a no brainer. If you run a Pathfinder game and will use ANY gods at all, then this book is a no brainer. I have my problems with what didn't make the cut for this book as opposed to what did. However, if you are the vast majority of people out there who pretend to worship some fantasy god in this system, then this book is for you. If you want to worship some obscure god, you have a bit of work on your hands. Since I love clerics in my 3.5 games, this a well done book I'm glad is part of my collection but not completely what I wanted. 90%

Great for those interested in the core deities

4/5 —

I've posted a complete review on my blog, The Triangular Room.

I think Inner Sea Gods is a great addition to my Pathfinder collection. While a fair amount of the content is recycled from previous products, it’s really fantastic to have everything in one place, especially in such a beautiful, well-designed volume. I’d consider it a must-buy for fans of the core Golarion deities. For those looking for more options related to the non-core deities, this title is probably not going to help you a great deal.

Finally got one

5/5 —

I'm a big fan of giving back story to the world around us, and this helps. Added in the fact it is Reynolds best covers, and the interior matched it was just outstanding. I do agree some of this is a repeat, but I also think this may be one of those that we will see have an update. Maybe new gods added, some deaths, feats better explained, etc. Needs work, but I still love it. Worth the buy.

Deity specific archetypes would be cool especially for non-divine classes like sorcerers, bards, fighters, rouges, etc..

I want an image of Zon-Kuthon and Shelyn in the same room.

Her sadness and pity and loss with his madness and rage a guilt and everything.

That would be awesome.

That would be a cool picture seeing them together.

Please may we have Wasp Queens of Calistra. I have an Elf Witch ex-prostitute with an insect familiar and Vomit Swarm and the like, a proper faction, prestige class and new spells would be fine and dandy.

What is kind of strange relationship that Asmodeus and Iomedae have?

Asmodeus and Iomedae also co-sponsor the Godclaw, along with Irori, Torag and Abadar, so there's that as well.

As for the representation of Nethys, I'd prefer he look more Garundi, or, barring that, perhaps even be depicted in his elven incarnation (since he's also one of the more popular elven deities).

Sarenrae (and Desna) are probably the two most visually striking good gods, but I wouldn't mind seeing Torag or Erastil get some new art (which I'm sure they will, inside the book!). Gozreh, Pharasma, Irori, Gorum, Abadar, etc. haven't gotten a lot of love, either, on the new art front, now that I think on it. Iomedae has a picture of her outside the Starstone Cathedral, and Asmodeus has a smallish picture in Lords of Darkness, but everyone not named Sarenrae has their Gods & Magic picture and any that came with their specific AP article, for the most part.

Pharasma's dark skin intrigues me. Possibly the eldest of the 'big 20,' and she's got a hint of Garundi to her? Eeenteresting. And a neat step away from her being the stereotypical 'Death' with goth-white skin and goth-black hair.
1 person marked this as a favorite.

Funny you mention that because it does state in the Inner Sea World Guide that Pharasma is Garundi.

As for Nethys, given what Lost Kingdom told up, we aren't even sure he's human, let alone Garundi.

That is one awesome looking cover....

I know they aren't technically "gods", but I have my fingers crossed tight for more information some of the demon lords like Lady Sifkesh.

That probably falls under: "hundreds of extraordinary demigods... from mighty divine servants to the unstoppable heralds of each deity." per the product description.

will this be replacing the "gods and magic" book from a while ago?

It should be noted, of course, that I don't have any affiliation with Paizo so I can't presume to speak for the company. I'm simply making an observation based on the idea that Inner Sea Gods is much larger and more recent, contains updated fluff, and is written for the current system. So, in my mind, it would make perfect sense for Paizo to switch their focus from Gods and Magic to Inner Sea Gods. :)

That's been the pattern in the past also. An initial foray close to going out of print is 'replaced' with a more up-to-date book on the same topic, with some material in common but also with a significant amount of new material. (ie the Gazetteer -> Campaign Setting -> Inner Sea World Guide. Also the various Pathfinder Society books and arguably Dragons Revisited -> Dragons Unleashed).
Shadow Lodge

It's worth noting, that usually there remains some information exclusive to the older material as well. Which makes sense...don't want to completely obsolete it if you can still squeeze out a few sales.

Aye, some stuff will be left behind, and that "some stuff" might just work wonders for your game, even if it has no place in official books going forward.

in the Inner Sea Gods Hardcover will ther be new planar allys / any new outsiders? will we learn about the gods planar realms, what about new Demigod articles?

Same here, Jim! I'm pretty sure the art is final, and that really makes the cover for me. Urgathoa and Nethys are two of my favorite Golarion deities, and they just look so cool and intense here.

I'm also a major fan of nontraditional, warrior-angel artwork, so I really like how Sarenrae is shown here, too.

Can't wait to see how the interior art in this book will look!

Pretty much, yes. Although it'll be significantly expanding that book and will, of course, be updating that book from 3.5 to Pathfinder RPG rules.

I really like the Sarenrae and Nethys portrayals here but Urgathoa as a ripped up bloody corpse missing most of its meat is always a disturbing and unpleasant image I dislike seeing. On the cover it gives me a visceral negative reaction.

I would have preferred Norgorber on the cover instead to represent NE.

I'm still amused that you easily put her disgusting half-flayed gory lower body on the cover but her immaculate breasts need to be obscured by a strategically placed arm.

He's there. You just can't see him. :-)

I like the idea that some gods may grant subdomains not technically connected to their domains, because of flavor (as we saw in the B4 and on the blog board). Only, it should be specified what domain of such a god is modified by the "foreign" subdomain.

Want this!!!

Will this book's PDF be priced at $9.99, like most (all?) of the Paizo hardcovers?

Rise of the Runelords Anniversary edition certainly wasn't priced that way...

I think it's only the products in the main rulebook line (e.g. those under the "Pathfinder Roleplaying Game" subscription) that get that PDF price point. I'd love to be proven wrong in this particular case, of course :)

I think that's an exception given that it's kind of the "Core Rulebook" of the Campaign Setting line. They want as many people to have access to it as possible.

I have a request.

The description in Gods and Magic describes Desna as "clad in billowing gowns", but depicts her as naked save for some strategically placed swirls of mist.

So if you're commissioning new art for this, could Desna please have some clothes?

Least popular request on the boards.

:P

Shelyn is also described as wearing clothing "that accentuates her beauty without revealing too much of it," and yet in every picture of her I've seen, she's wearing nothing but a bedsheet and double-sided tape. Calistria is infinitely more clothed. :P
