Divine Fighting Technique Question(s)


Rules Questions


Greetings fellow Pathfinders!

It is my curse to constantly make builds but not actually play the damn game. That said, I am currently working on a build that will use the Divine Fighting Technique for Urgathoa (Urgathoa's Hunger, from Divine Anthology I believe).

The only listed requirement for the feat is "Must worship a single patron deity that has an established divine fighting technique." Does my character have to be within one-step (alignment-wise) of Urgathoa (NE) or simply worship her?

The reason I ask is twofold. Firstly, I try to build all of my characters to be Society legal, so that I have options and interesting/unique characters to give to other players that are interested (I have a folder of fully built 1st level characters, but unregistered so that others have access to things outside the Pregens). This means that the one-step requirement along with the Society requirement of non-evil leaves me with only Neutral for the character.

Secondly, for thematic reasons I would like the character to be Lawful Neutral, similar in personality to a Hellknight, but obviously that is outside one-step from Urgathoa (NE). I am willing to sacrifice the alignment for the sake of the build, but I digress.

Thanks friends!

PS: The build is a Scythe-focused Cabalist Vigilante.

So despite the online resources like d20pfsrd and archives of nethys listing it under one page, there are actually 2 different Divine Fighting Technique feats.

The one from Weapon Master's Handbook requires that you be the same alignment as your chosen deity and lists the options for Abadar, Calistria, Cayden Cailean, Gorum, Iomedae, and Zon-kuthon.

The one from Divine Anthology only requires that you worship them (so for PFS rules within 1 step of their alignment) and lists Asmodeus, Desna, Erastil, Irori, Lamashtu, Norgorber, Rovagug, Sarenrae, Torag and Urgathoa.


I see! I figured as much, but I had a small glimmer of hope.

Oh well, true neutral works for me too.

Thanks for the clarification!
