PFS Warpriests and non-CRB Gods

[Evilgm]

The Additional Resources page states "Warpriest: To utilize a blessing, a character must be a worshiper of the listed deity."

Does this mean that in effect you have to be a Warpriest of one of the CRB Deities to get Blessings? No Warpriests of Ragathiel or Nivi Rhombodazzle?

@_@! Wow, missed that part of the guide.

So Warpriests are only from the major religions?

What about major religions like the Tian Xia gods? No warpriests from that part of the world?

Edit: I always thought that the blessing are similar to domains, so you just need to pick a god, check what domain is given and select from that list of blessings... guess it doesn't work that way.

Wow, and I spent hours going over my Inner Sea Gods book trying to find the exact right deity for myself.. Luckily I did end up with a core deity, but this is a huge slap in the face to all the extra content that is still legal.

I believe that they've clarified that you can follow any god/dess, and the blessings you have access to are the ones associated with the domains of that god/dess.

It looks like there are still more things to modify on the Additional Resources page. See this post of mine for clarifications on this particular point.

Just switch to a warpriest archetype that gets rid of blessings, Divine Commander looks nice, and can even qualify for Monstrous Mount.

Ack, beat me to it, John.

For the record, here's the relevant part:

There's not time leading up to Gen Con to put these fixes into print, but here are a few clarifications and corrections as I'm reading through posts.

Warpriests of Non-Core Deities
Change the text to read "To select a blessing, a warpriest must worship a deity that offers the domain of the same name." This should open up warpriest options for non-core faiths. It was not the intention to deny those character options.

[Sebastian Hirsch]

I could be wrong, but most of not all blessings are based on the domains the gods get, so if your god allows gives you the good domain, you should be able to get the blessing.
Of course that is just common sense not RAW.

Edit: too late ^^

Many thanks for the quick response- my search-fu had failed me.

That's good, I figured it couldn't be so and likely was an error, but if that was actually the case it'd be pretty awful.
