Cleric or Inquisitor of Acavna the pseudo-dead god possible?

[TwistedCrow]

Would it be to big of a stretch to be a divine caster of Acavna. She's technically dead but not. So its a grey area. Also could it be possible within Galorian rules for a god to be revived? I know a DM could do what they want but within the established world by Paizo.

[Terminalmancer]

As I understand it, she's pretty dead. "Dead as a doornail" dead, if you're familiar with the English idiom. If you could figure out which strange dimension/plane/world/whatever Amaznen got sucked into he might be easier to justify, but even that isn't really available in the setting as written.

[James Jacobs]

Acavna is dead, and thus clerics and inquisitors who worship her won't get spells or powers.

Gods in Pathfinder specifically do NOT use rules. Whatever story you want to tell about them, including whether or not one comes back to life, is something a GM can just do as part of the story. No need for rules to justify said story at all. And if you're playing in Golarion, it IS your world, not ours at that point, so what happens in your game is 100% up to you and your GM anyway. ;-)

[Eleanor Ferron]

Tsukiyo, the Tian god of the moon, was murdered by his brother and then revived. How it worked and why he was different from other dead gods (perhaps he was only Mostly Dead?) has never been explored, but there's precedent in the established world of Golarion for a god coming back to life.

It is also possible (but very unusual) for another deity to grant spells to a cleric in honor of a fallen deity. More commonly, they try to convince the cleric to convert to their direct worship.

Also, if you keep praying to a dead deity, it is possible that eventually something answers your prayers.
