Template:Demigod status assumed/doc

Planar Adventures 70 states that demigods "grant their clerics access to four domains" rather than the five domains granted by a full deity. This rule is sometimes used on PathfinderWiki to derive and classify the status of a deity. However, as this is a "crunchy" ruling that may override the text, the assumption needs to be called out and, we hope, verified at a later stage unequivocally with a referenced source.

Furthermore, James Jacobs has stated this on the Paizo forum in December 2018:

“

The best way to tell is that deities offer 5 domains while demigods offer 4 domains.

Note that "god" and "goddess" are more generic terms we use to cover anything that grants spells. Only "deity" and "demigod" and "quasi-deity" are the terms used when we want to be precise about power levels.

”

This template serves to remind the readers and editors that this assumption and derivation has been made without a specific canon use of the designation "demigod". Please add this template {{Demigod status assumed}} to any page where the demigod status has been determined solely by the number of domains granted in Pathfinder First Edition.

This template places a superscript "[DSA]" into the text with an explanatory footnote; it also places the deity into Category:Demigod status assumed template used.
