Deities (Rules) (Player Core)

Anyone can worship a deity, but those who do so devoutly should take care to pursue the faith's edicts (behaviors the faith encourages) and avoid its anathemas (actions considered blasphemous). Each deity entry below lists their name, title, and a short description with cultural information. Following that are the benefits available to the deity's most ardent devotees. You get these benefits only if you have a rule that specifically gives you a devotee benefit. Divine spells are usable by mystics who choose a connection that grants divine spellcasting. Future Clerics The cleric spells listed for each deity are intended to work with the cleric class found in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Similarly, clerics and some other devotees can gain domain spells from their deities. These rules are included here to allow characters wishing to play the cleric class in Starfinder all the tools to do so. Similarly, favored weapons marked with an asterisk ( ) indicate classical weapons the deities favored in the Pathfinder era Sanctification Some deities sanctify their mystics and similarly devoted followers. This gives the follower the holy or unholy trait. The holy trait indicates a powerful devotion to altruism, helping others, and battling against unholy forces like fiends and undead. The unholy trait, in turn, shows devotion to victimizing others, inflicting harm, and battling celestial powers. Deities that list “must choose” mandate gaining the trait and those that list “can choose” give the devotee the option to choose the trait or not. You can have the holy trait, unholy trait, or neither, but can never have both the holy and unholy traits. Spells and other effects can also have these traits, making them more powerful against creatures with the opposite trait. Some spells and abilities have the sanctified trait. If you have the holy or unholy trait, when you use a sanctified ability you add your holy or unholy trait to it.
