Subdomains for deities not in Advanced Player's Guide?


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion

Silver Crusade

The cleric subdomains associated with each major deity are in the APG, but what about minor deities? In other books, their main domains are given, but I know that not all deities get all of the subdomains for a particular domain. For instance, Lust and Love are subdomains of Charm, and Shelyn gets one of those subdomains, while Calistria gets the other (and rightfully so!).

So do minor deities just not grant subdomains to their clerics, because they aren't listed anywhere? What would the rules be for Pathfinder Society for this?

Don't know if that's PFS legal or not.

Also, here.

And it is listed as legal under the PFS additional resources

Thanks. I hadn't noticed that.

Of course, the one god I was curious about isn't there. Oh well.


Then ask about it in the blog, get an answer from James Jacobs, and like magic you will have a list of legal sub-domains.

It's ESPECIALLY like magic since I'm visiting my parents down in Point Arena, and this is the first year that they have something other than super-slow dialup access to the internet... so if you DO ask a question of me, you probably won't have to wait for me to get back into the office next Thursday for an answer!


The modern science! Becoming indistinguishable from magic...

Heh. Ok, I was thinking of maybe doing a gnome cleric, so I was looking at Nivi Rhombodazzle. I'm not even entirely sure if this is the direction I want to go with for this character, and it's not a character I'm making immediately, so no rush on answering.

As mentioned in my "More Clerics!" thread in the advice subforum, I'm just reading up on clerics, domains, and deities right now and keep coming up with tons of ideas for stuff I'd like to try, so I could see myself coming up with half a dozen or more different cleric characters for Pathfinder Society and never getting around to even using all of them. This is what happens when someone with an obsessive personality gets into Pathfinder as a newbie. :P
