These are all options that require worshipping a deity. Any feat, trait, et al that is tagged to a domain or subdomain is accessible to any character who worships any deity with that domain/subdomain (example, a trait exclusive to the Love domain could be taken by a follower of Sune, and also for a follower of Hanali, among others.)

Any feats, traits, et al that are not allowed at all will be listed as banned, and why.

Feats

For any of the below feats and prestige classes regarding divine obedience, see our notes on deific obedience first!

Banned Feats:

  • Bladed Brush (is now reworked as a Combat feat)
  • Celestial Obedience, Empyreal Focus (by and large, empyreal powers do not interlope as deities on Toril)
  • Deadeye’s/Erastil’s Blessing (superceded by Zen Archery which anyone can take)
  • Pantheistic Blessing (Because that’s not how FR faiths work)
  • Shade of the Uskwood/Woodlands (Because druids in FR don’t do undead, period)
  • Wasp Familiar (because no relevant deity; but instead anyone can get a one-feat familiar)
