Rules Questions


Do deities gain/have the domain powers of domains that they grant to worshipers?

If so, where might I find text that states this?

Thanks.


Deitys don't have statblocks. They run on gm fiat and literal deus ex machina.

"Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Gods" is your best source I think, but it not open source.


Well, mythic characters who grant spells to their worshippers possess some power from their domains iirc.


Deities purposefully don't have statblocks, because Paizo learned that if you write statblocks for soemthing players will try to find a way to kill it.

The developers want the death of deities to be made of plot, so there is no way to defeat them (officially).


If it has stats, you can kill it. Even gods.

Even planets.

However, I think it a very reasonable assumption that the powers that an individual god had will include their domain abilities.


Well, per Deities and Demigods, deities get all the domain powers they grant as well as gaining all the the domain spells they grant as spell-like abilities. Take this with a grain of salt, though, as 3.0 D&D is not Pathfinder.

Barry the Barbarian: All right, everyone! Time to go kill some gods! Who's with me!?

Waldo the Warpriest: Yeaahhhhhhh~!

Archie the Arcanist: Me too!

Ingrid the Inquisitor: As am I!

Archie's Boots: (covered in the ashes of what used to be an arcanist)

Vaguely Human-Shaped Scorch Mark: (Barry's greataxe is right next to it)

Ingrid the Inquisitor: (has been shipped off by the war god for an eternity of soul-sucking AGONY in the seventh circle of the only place worse than Hell: Staten Island.)


Ah, found it "In addition, you can cast spells from domains you grant as long as their level is equal to or less than your tier. Each day as a spell-like ability, you can cast one spell of each level equal to or less than your tier (selecting from those available to you from your divine source domains)." That's for mythic characters who grant domains though.
