Hi there, is there a Polytheistic prestige class that works for (say) Clerics in 3.pf OTHER than Sovereign Speaker? Something that doesn't assume a character is focusing on one god above all, but that they care about a pantheon? I'd like something to mix in with Sovereign Speaker, even if a bit of homebrew tweaking is required!

Many PrCs are compatible with pantheon worship, but don't require it.

Would those be acceptable to you?

I don't know yet, I haven't seen them. Though I'm all ears (eyes?)!

Pathfinder has the Pantheistic Blessing (https://aonprd.com/FeatDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Pantheistic%20Blessing) and Polytheistic Blessing (https://aonprd.com/FeatDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Polytheistic%20Blessing) feats to represent pantheon worship. PrCs meanwhile tend to either be focused around a specific patron, or generic enough (e.g. Holy Vindicator (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/apg/holy-vindicator/)) that they could apply to pantheon worship if you want, but give no special bonuses for you doing so.

Green Faith Acolyte (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/other-paizo/e-h/green-faith-acolyte/) is one of the few I can think of that could be used for pantheon worship specifically - the nature pantheon to be exact, with divinities like Gozreh, Erastil, and The Eldest all being part of it.

Technically speaking, a Cleric can serve a Pantheon so in theory Contemplative would work


Characters who serve a pantheon venerate several deities, asking each god for intercession in matters that reflect the god’s interest (called a portfolio).

For example, a cleric that worships a pantheon based on Greek gods might ask Hermes for an expeditious retreat spell, Athena for an oracular vision, or Hades for the power to repel the undead. Clerics who choose to serve a pantheon can choose their two domains from among all the domains offered by all the deities of the pantheon (except aberrant gods—those whose worship is not sanctioned by the clerics of the pantheon as a whole). A cleric can only select an alignment domain if his alignment matches that domain. The cleric’s alignment must match the alignment of some deity in the pantheon (excluding aberrant gods).
