Pathfinder Deities


Alpha Playtest Feedback General Discussion


Is there a place that has information about the deities in this world?

Or do I just need to go with what's in the player's guide and what little else was released in that other module (who's name escapes me)?


Frankly I don't see why every campaign world had to have its down made up deities. What's wrong with having Thor, Freya, Zeus, Athena and all of our other old friends from the real world?

And to the OP's question, the Pathfinder books have the following expanded writeups on deities:

#2 - Desna
#5 - Lamashtu

Upcoming
#8 - Abadar
#11 - Zon-Kuthon
#14 - Cayden Cailean
#17 - Cailistria
Gods & Magic

Thanks for the updates and I can at least look at #2 and #5 right now, too bad I don't have more info, it would be nice.


One of my players is having fun coming up with details on Gorum. We've so far collaborated and depending on what Paizo puts out i may stick with what we have so far. About the only complaint i've had is the fact that theres no spells for some of the domains, such as madness. Its limited some of my players enthusiasm for the new deities even though the setting itself is great.

Giving a player a deity and order to play with (subject to DM approval of course) has gotten their interest though and everyone is watching to see what we come up with together. Two of the players are interested in desna so thats easy at least :)

You can find the information on the Additional Domains in the d20 SRD.

Thanks! Makes me wonder how many others are missing out on pathfinder content because they don't know the information is online though. I hope when they release the pathfinder RPG books they put the domains in there to avoid having to check multiple sources

My campaign world has, like the real world (and like The World of Greyhawk, I might add), different ethnic groups of humans. As in the real world, the different human ethnic groups worship different pantheons of gods. I have the Norse gods, the Greek gods, the Roman version of the Greek gods, the Chinese gods, and the Babylonian gods. Worship of the differing pantheons of human gods has played many important roles in the various campaigns I've run, especially my current one. I also have some North American Indian deities, although the worship of them hasn't played as large a role. In any case, however, most players in my campaigns have related much better to one (or more) real-world pantheon than to something invented by a couple of game authors. I've certainly played characters in other campaigns who followed (or rejected) gods like Lathander, Kord, and St. Cuthbert, but it's all the more sweet when I can play a follower of Thor! :-D

We will. Including in the Pathfinder RPG... all of the domains are in there.

Oh! It's James Jacobs, my favorite purveyor of all things demonic! You might recall me as Celestial Barbarian or Thorsbjorn over on the Wizard thread where we were discussing your epic versions of Orucs and Demogorgon. You might recall that I bought the last two Dungeon magazines just to get them. I didn't realize that you were involved with the Pathfinder RPG. Your involvement bodes quite well for Pathfinder RPG, quite well indeed! I'm very glad to hear about it. I've been playing D&D for 30 years now, and your name stands out as one of the best D&D writers I've seen in that time. :-)


Thanks for all the help and I love that list of all the domains, that's really helpful!!!!!

THANKS!!!!!
