Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


While I'm aware there is no mechanically proper way to represent an avatar of a god (or the god itself I take it) but was curious what most thought would be appropriate inclusions into an NPC that is the avatar of a god, regardless of their role (afterall, gods don't ALWAYS appear in the flesh because "I'm here to smite you!")

So far, unless the god in question has reason to appear as a different race, usually whatever humanoid race makes the most sense based on their religious depictions/original mortal forms/most common race of worshippers...

Evangelist seems to give a list of classes (divine casters, arcane casters, and even non-casters) that most fit at LEAST the Core 20 pantheon.

They should always truly match the alignment of the deity.
Default weapon should be the god's favored weapon.
If a familiar/animal companion is chosen, most likely the deity's sacred animal should be the one.

Adorn themselves with said deity's sacred colors...

And idk, access to all of the deity's domains?? Divine Obedience boons w/o the obedience?

Ability Scores, Levels, CR, and Skill Ranks may vary?
