Religious Tolerance Settlement
Settlements, Religious Tolerance
At a Glance
A Religious Tolerance settlement is known for allowing many different cults and divine traditions to worship openly. Temples, shrines, sanctuaries and sacred colleges stand close together, and public debate between priests and philosophers is a normal part of civic life.
Legacy Settlement Rules
Under the legacy Pathfinder settlement rules, Religious Tolerance increases Lore by 1 and Society by 1, while increasing divine spellcasting by 2 levels.
Using It in Play
No single cult automatically controls public life. Travellers can usually find priests, healers, diviners and ritual specialists from several traditions, but disagreements between temples can still become political or personal.
Adventure Use
Plots can centre on contested festivals, rival prophecies, stolen relics, disputes over sacred space or attempts by an outside ruler to impose one cult over the others.
Increase Lore +1, Society +1. Increase divine spellcasting by +2 levels.
