The Church of Razmir and Who They Serve


Pathfinder Society

Silver Crusade

I've liked the idea of the Church of Razmir for some time now (granted a little less so to find out that Razmir is not a true god, but still), and recently started thinking- If I were to make a servant of the Church, what faction might they follow? The LE alignment shown in the Faction Guide immediately makes me think that they would fall under Cheliax, but there still seems to be something that doesn't fit.

As we know, Evil alignments are forbidden in PFS, so in comes the one-step rule to allow for play (though I may not even have to follow this with a non-cleric, assuming the lore allows it). So, a most likely LN character, but still, what faction would they fall under best? Any suggestions or advice? Or, heck, if you just want to show off, list the pros and cons for a Razmiran acolyte to follow each faction. :P

All suggestions welcome. :)

Clergymen of Razmir belong to the organization of the Church of Razmir. This makes it hard for them to funktion in any other organization.

A clergyman of Razmir could try to infiltrate the Pathfinder Society though. None of the existing fanctions in the PFS are good options for a Razmiran clergyman. This summer five new factions will be presented and at least one of them might be a good option for your clergyman.

I see. Heck, maybe Razmiran itself will be one, though seems a tad unlikely.

Also, I'm wondering at what point do the followers know the truth about Razmir? Or do they just all believe fanatically that he is, in fact, divinity? I'd suspect some must know, and maybe search for a way to MAKE him divinity. Seems more practical to let someone in on the secret.

*senses potential for lore expansion here*

I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly, but I think there was something about initiates in the church of Razmir

Spoiler:
being magically brainwashed. Or maybe that only applied to those that reached the highest ranks of his church.

I think there is a faction that would work.

Spoiler:

Osirion. Razmiran would be better served by a strong Osirion as a counterbalance to Cheliax, Taldor, and Andoran. Furthermore, Osirion is filled with ancient secrets and stories of gods; and in particular, of man-gods ruling a kingdom. Just a small fraction of that knowledge would be very useful to the powers that be in Razmiran.

For the time being I think you should go with whatever faction you favor personally. When the next season starts you may get the option to change to one of the new factions.

InVinoVeritas has a very interesting point. There's definitely some room for a diplomat or something. Now, I need to decide on class, since cleric does not seem to be logical (Razmir is not a god, and therefore cannot grant spells, etc.) Perhaps Sorcerer or Wizard would be an ambitious choice, and provide plenty of opportunities for advancement in the clergy. But knowing more about what initiates go through would help.

Mikaze, where might this information be? Inner Sea World Guide? Faction Guide?

Silver Crusade

Gah, can't recall exactly, but it has to be either in the original Campaign Setting or the newer Inner Sea Guide.

That's if I'm remembering correctly, of course. I know there's some brainwashing program going on somewhere in the ranks at least.

The Inner Sea World Guide has information on Razmiran and Razmir.

I think good options for you might be bard (charlatan), rogue or oracle.

You could also do a lot with Inquisitor, but I don't know if Golarion requires a divine patron for Inquisitor powers.

Inquisitors depend on deities as do paladins and clerics.
