Minor Deities in PFS Play

[kantoboy]

Are minor deities legal for PFS play? When I check the Faiths of Purity section in the additional resources, it appears that only the traits are legal for PFS play, which is a little confusing.

Also are there rules for switching deities?

The majority of the minor deities are allowed in PFS organized play. The Additional Resources page does not list the gods from Faiths of Purity and similar books because said divinities are already allowed by Gods and Magic and the Inner Sea World Guide. Check those two books first to see if your divinity of choice is listed.

I can't think of any exceptions off the top of my head, so you should be in good shape.

As I understand it, a character may change alignment or patron between scenarios. I seem to recall that if you're a character that relies on a divine patron for class features, you must secure an Atonement spell to keep your abilities. Any deity-specific traits or abilities are lost without gaining a replacement.

Gnomes really have so few gods of their own, is there a reason the gods of illusionists (Sivanah) is not PFS allowed? Seems random considering most of the other illegal choices are Demon Lords or Great Old Ones. Perhaps she's secretly a demon lord? ;)

Additional Resurces::
Pathfinder Player Companion: Gnomes of Golarion- Gods: all gods on the inside front cover. Sivanh is one of them.

Inner Sea Guide::
All gods listed in the tables on pages 229, 231, and 234. These include the Empyreal Lords, The demon Lords, the Devil Lords, and the Four Horsemen along with a sprinkling of other divine entities to worship.

Cheers

Edit: Just to be clear I meant to say they are all allowed to be worshiped in the cleric way and the everyone else way. :)

Where did you see that Sivanah's not allowed? She's listed in the inside front cover of Gods and Magic, and the Additional Resources says that all those dieties are allowed.

Exactly, Ranzwick Sprocketminder, my gnomish theologian of Brigh is happy to provide religious guidance to any and all tinkerers, inventors, and engineers.

"Argh! Another flagon for me an me mate in honor of me patron!"

this makes a lot more sense with my pirate avatar. sometimes having a VC header can be a diadvantage

is the Great Old Ones legal?
its not listed on the tables mentioned in Inner Sea World Guide,
but the Subdomains for Everyone is listed as legal, and provides subdomains for The Great Old Ones.

[Saint Caleth]

According to Herolab, the Great Old ones are allowed in PFS. Herolab has been known to be wring before, however.

Don't worry, Countess Eliese Velune, beloved of Zyphus, will bless all accidental deaths caused by Ranzwick Sprocketminder.
