Source Gamemastery Guide pg. 212
Religions inspire devout individuals to uphold their tenets. Many of these devotees seek to bring respite and hope, but others have darker motives.

Sidebar - Advice and Rules Swapping Deities

Customize an acolyte or priest by matching their deity's alignment and favored weapon, adding the deity's divine skill at +14 (or +7), and swapping spells. An example appears on the facing page. (An acolyte gains only the 1st-level spells, domain spell, and cantrips, and has two 1st-level heal spells instead of three 3rd-level heal spells.) If you swap harm spells for heal, replace Healing Hands with the Selective Energy cleric feat.
