The most important ones are that casting a spell with verbal components have the Concentrate trait by default, and you can't use Concentrate actions/activities while raging.The biggest thing that's part of the rules themselves are deities and their connection to Champions, Clerics, and various Divine spells. Mechanically, deities have the following relevant parts:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Alignment (which affects some spells – e.g. divine lance is a cantrip that deals damage of a type corresponding to one of your deity's alignments, so a follower of the LG god Torag can deal lawful or good damage with it).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Follower's alignments (restricts which alignments can get divine oomph from the god in question)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Divine ability (as in ability score, mainly used in one or maybe a small number of backgrounds)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Divine font (whether clerics of the deity cast harm or heal with their Divine Font ability, and various effects that follow from that; in almost all cases this is linked to alignment)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Divine skill (a skill all champions and clerics of the deity are trained in)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Favored weapon (a weapon all champions and clerics of the deity are trained in)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Domains (domains that have focus spells that champions and clerics can learn via feats)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Alternate domains (more domains that require a particular feat to take, often considered part of alternate interpretations/traditions of worshiping that deity)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Spells (a set of usually three spells that are considered divine spells for clerics of the deity – some deities give more spells, but that's pretty rare)</li> </ul>There are also various spells which require that you have a deity, usually because they have an effect depending on which deity you worship (e.g. righteous might which turns you into a battleform with weapons determined by your deity).The canonical (ironically) solution for people who want to cast divine spells without worshiping a deity is to be an Oracle instead.As for ethnicities and rules connected to those: there are some ancestry feats, mostly in books in the Lost Omens product line (the Golarion setting). I don't think there are any in the core books.</blockquote>
