How do multiple deity-based feats work?

[brian14]

If I have two divine classes, such as cleric/paladin or FVS/paladin, it is possible to pick two different deity-based feats? Say, I start as paladin, select Follower of the Sovereign Host, and get Unyielding Sovereignty at level 6. Then I switch to cleric, pick Follower of Aureon, and have full Aureon benefits at level 18.

Conversely, if I pick the same deity-based feat for both classes, will they stack? Will I get +2 attack/damage bonus from both "Child of ..." feats?

No: once you pick a deity, you're stuck with it. Also I'm pretty sure you only get the level 6 deity feat once, so e.g. Sovereign Host pal 6 / cleric 6 / FvS 6 doesn't get triple Unyielding Sovereignty. Likewise I think you're only allowed one of each Child / Beloved etc. feat for your deity.

Such a metagame idea. Some Respect for thinking outside the box, but still. 2 Deities? Rly?

Still, otoh, Respect too to SSG for seeing this one coming.

As stated you only get one and it will be picked when you first hit level 2 in a divine class...


Just as an aside - gods are generally jealous types that don't like to share those devoted to them .

You only get ALL deity feats once.

Any time you take a level where you'd normally choose a deity feat, but you already chose the deity feat for that level, you just don't get to choose a deity feat. Sort of like a wizard who already inscribed all possible spells just doesn't get to pick any spells at levelup.

For example:

01 Paladin 1: Choose follower
02 Paladin 2
03 Paladin 3
04 Cleric 1: (no "follower" choice)
05 Cleric 2
06 Cleric 3: (no choice normally, but just for fun, let's take Child Of in a standard feat slot)
07 Cleric 4
08 Cleric 5
09 Cleric 6: Choose deity ability
10 Paladin 4
11 Paladin 5
12 Paladin 6 (no "deity ability" choice)
13 FVS 1 (no "follower" choice")
14 FVS 2
15 FVS 3 (would normally choose "child of" here, but we already took it in a standard feat slot)
16 FVS 4
17 FVS 5
18 FVS 6 (no "deity ability" choice")
19 FVS 7
20 FVS 8

Speaking as a guy who has written a character planner, the deity feat logic has been an endless source of headache for me.
