Agent of the Grave - What deities count as "undead worshiping"


Rules Questions


Hi all,

I have a question that is mostly a concern from a roleplay standpoint:

TL;DR:

Is undead sub-domain sufficient for a deity's worship to count as an "undead worshipping cult"

Long version:

Basically, I just started playing a necromancer wizard in an evil campaign and was hoping to prestige into "agent of the grave". the campaign is following the Hell's Vengeance adventure path, and as this adventure path is set in Cheliax, I was hoping to have him worship one of the archdevils. One of the requirements for Agent of the Grave is that the character be part of an "undead worshipping cult", and I had settled on Baalzebul since undead is listed as one of his subdomains. I am starting to wonder if I have misterpreted what actually constitutes an undead worshipping cult.

The players guide for hell's vengeance says that the whispering way, which is usually associated with Urgathoa, doesn't play a role in the adventure path but is still an appropriate prestige class choice for the campaign. Under normal circumstances I might just retcon my worship to her (i only just hit lvl 2), but I've grown pretty fond of the backstory I've developed that works better with Baalzebul and was hoping the choice was still appropriate

Hi there! I created the prestige class you're asking about. It looks like you are looking at the version of the prestige class on D20PFSRD.com which uses different language than the original. The requirement for the prestige class is that the character must be a member of the Whispering Way for 1 year. The Archives of Nethys has the correct wording. The class was meant to be specific to that organization, but talk to your GM and if he or she is cool with reflavoring, go for it!


Thanks for the quick reply, and the link! I'll probably just stick with my original backstory and save agent of the grave for a future character :)


Adam, has anyone told you you're a mensch?
