Devotee Benefits
Source GM Core pg. 145
Deities grant favored status and special power to the most fervent and influential of their flock.
Cleric Spells: When preparing spells, clerics from Pathfinder can choose from specific spells granted by the deity, in addition to those available on the divine spell list. A deity always grants a 1st-rank spell and usually two others, all chosen from non-divine spell lists. The exact number of spells a deity grants can vary—a magic-focused deity might grant more—though this shouldn't exceed one spell of each rank.
Divine Font: Clerics from Pathfinder channel a deity's divine power as a font of vitality or void energy. Most deities grant either heal or harm, but a few deities offer a choice between the two. A specific deity's divine font should be based on their areas of concern.
Divine Sanctification: Some deities allow or require their greatest devotees to dedicate themselves to pursuing holy or unholy deeds. A listing of “must choose holy” or “must choose unholy” indicates the deity requires this commitment. “Can choose holy” or “can choose unholy” indicates that the deity allows it in addition to many other options.
Divine Skill: Champions and clerics from Pathfinder automatically gain the trained proficiency rank in their deity's divine skill. Assign the deity one skill that synergizes well with their areas of concern. For example, Intimidation would be appropriate for a god of tyranny, or Deception for a goddess of trickery.
Domains: Each deity grants a number of domains that reflect their divine areas of concern. Mystics can learn the domain spells from their deity's domains. Starfinder's deities each have four domains, and many have one or more alternative domains. Though this number is usually enough to convey a deity's portfolio and give players sufficient options, you can give your deities as many domains as you like.
Favored Weapon: Some characters can gain access to their deity's favored weapon as well as the trained proficiency rank with it. These weapons are considered specific to the religion's culture for purposes of feats like the shirren's Unconventional Weaponry. Every deity has a favored weapon. Because the benefits of having an advanced favored weapon are very strong, you should assign simple or martial favored weapons unless a deity is so thematically linked with an advanced weapon that you need to give them one.
