Animal companion and deity


Rules Questions


Can an animal companion with an intelligence of 3 venerate 1 deity?

From a lore and flavor perspective I don't see why not. Or why they would need an INT of 3 to do it - that part sounds more like a PF1 thing.

I can't think of any rules or abilities that an Animal Companion would have that this would interact with. What exactly are you looking at?


I think not. It isn't intelligent enough to rationalize a faith IMO. It may recognize its existence and fear or admire it but nothing too complex to understand its edicts and anathemas.

Silver Crusade

I don't care about the rules, all of my puddy tat minions (Familiars or Animal Companions) venerate at least one of Bastet or Sekhmet :-)


I expect that the vast majority of Witch familiars are also aligned with at least one deity. Or at least some powerful pseudo-deity.

in fact, it's PF1. I saw that there was the gift “benefit of the believer” which allows you to obtain level 1 power in a domain governed by a divinity. I would like my animal companion to receive the power of the psychopomp subdomain as part of the creation of a druid guardian of the cycle of life and death. hence my question since the rules stipulate that 1 animal companion can choose any feat (as long as it is possible) if it has an intelligence >3.

Not a problem. Welcome to the community.

And confusing the two forums is a common thing to do.
