Deity of Hygiene?


Homebrew and House Rules


So, thinking on Hygieia, the Greek goddess of Hygience, how could we create one for Pathfinder? My ideas.

List of Health Deities

our modern ideas about hygiene are different than ancient ones.
IMO at best a minor to house deity, so 1-2 domain; personal health, sewage treatment. To represent what I think you want will involve the worshiper having the Technologist feat.
The core PF Campaign deities are... well... intellectual property. Best avoided.

There's also the fact that if you ask any alchemist, the world is composed of 4-13 elements in various combinations. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek's device is likely creating delusions caused by diminutive Maxwell's demons...health is a matter of balancing the humours (I have schools of blood magic for this).

Silver Crusade

I can add these have been attributed to higher deities in polytheistic times. Citizens in Rome didn’t care about highways and arches as much as the drain that kept river waste from filling their market places during heavy rains. The temple of Venus Cloaca was a very sacred place because of its job to keep poo water flowing away from citizens.

Silver Crusade

I should say residents. Confusing citizenship then and now.


I stated Hygeia here
You can find her on issue #10 of The Bardess’ Library too.


Read up on Versailles Palace. That place got rather nasty back in the day.


Clerics of your dirty should be able to craft Soul Soap.
