Portfolio: Battle = "god of battle" for Spiked Destroyer


Rules Questions


I was looking longingly at the feat Spiked Destroyer http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/spiked-destroyer-combat
and noticed something odd.

In the D20 link it say the pre-req is "a god of battle". In the Pathfinder Companion: Faiths of Balance PDF it say "Worshiper of Gorum". I ask myself why would these be different?

A search has produced no notes as errata for the D20 entry, yet I suspect it was done on purpose. A search did find that Gorum is not the only god of battle. The following deities have Battle as one of their portfolios:
Acavna: http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Acavna
Eiseth: http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Eiseth
Chaldira Zuzaristan: http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Chaldira_Zuzaristan
Urazra: http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Urazra
There may be more of course, but these are what I found.

Am I to accept that a follower of any of these deities would be eligible to take the Spiked Destroyer feat?

Am I to accept that D20 is more accurate than the PDF?

Both are certainly plausible.

In the event that the Gorum limitation is removed, are only deities with Portfolio Battle eligible, or can Portfolio War play too? Can any deity with a battle focus, like Angradd: http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Angradd be allowed to play?

Among the many questions, my point is I have a PFS Dwarven Paladin that wants to take Spiked Destroyer and I'm searching for a loophole, so if you can find me one, I'll be forever in your debt.


Your over thinking this Gorrum is Paizo's IP that is why it just says god of battle on d20pfsrd.

If you are playing in PFS or golarion then the 'worshiper of gorrum' is the correct answer.


Not what I wanted to hear, but I'll buy that as a reason. I've seen other instances of this with regard to not using the deities name, so that's consistent. Now I have to build a whole new CN martial character to worship Gorrum.

the joys of not having the actual product but using a third party site to refer and create your characters =D
