Deites and Domains from Forgotten Realms

Deities of the Forgotten Realms, their associated domains/subdomains and favored weapon, as converted to PFRPG are located on the spreadsheet here.

Subdomains in our setting: While in the Pathfinder setting, subdomains are typically granted by the same deities that grant the associated domain, the Forgotten Realms, and it’s large diversity of both deities and domains, lend itself to treating subdomains as a smaller sphere of influence that a deity presides over, whether or not they have access to the associated domain. This way, while a deity like Helm may have the Planning subdomain — which we’ve associated with the Knowledge domain — he does not have the overarching purview of knowlege in his portfolio. Likewise Torm grants the subdomain of Honor, though not the associated Glory domain. Deities who have access to the core domains may or may not grant a given subdomain as it is deemed thematically appropriate.

Druids and animal/terrain domains: Because one of the core principles of faith in the Forgotten Realms is that every divine caster must have a deity, and every domain or blessing granted a divine caster must come from a deity with the domain in their portfolio, the druidic domains are considered god granted as well. The domains will be assigned to the deities that sponsor druids where they fit the best and this can be modified with discussion. A cleric of a deity that sponsors druids and offers these druidic domains may also select these domains as well.

There are 3pp domains that fill in for several of the FR domains with the same names. For common domains with no Paizo or 3pp equivalent there are the following:

Domain Errata

Hubris: Has a stupid replacement power that’s legitimately useless, also in contrast to the 3.5 Pride domain is entirely and wholly antiheroic. So this subdomain doesn’t exist, and an actual Pride domain exists in its stead.

Rage: Is renamed Wrath, and has the following replacement spells instead of what is listed:

2nd–animal prowess, 6th–song of discord, 7th–transformation, 9th–storm of vengeance.

Moon Subdomain: Is replaced by the Forgotten Realms Moon domain below.

Trickery Domain: Master’s Illusion lasts minutes/level instead of rounds/level, because rounds isn’t even long enough to get through the watch checkpoint with you and your buds.
