Are there any rules for clerics of a philosophy?

Faiths and Philosophies, like the green faith, intrigue me and I'd love to play a devotee of them one day, but how they work is a little questionable. Can you make a cleric of them? According to archives of nethys they don't have favored weapons or domains so . . . I guess I can't? Does anyone know what the official ruling? CAN you be a cleric of a faith/philosophy? If so, how do you determine their domains/favored weapons?


They don't specify a Divine Font type either. Or a Cleric Spells list.

So, officially it probably wouldn't work very well mechanically. I wouldn't try it in PFS, but I don't see why it couldn't be tweaked a bit to be allowed in a particular game among friends.

The official rule is that clerics must have a deity. The class has always stated that in 2E, and nothing has said otherwise (unlike pantheon, presented in the same part of Godsand Magic that do have a rule for clerics following them).

Filling in details for clerics of a philosophy is a houserule question.
