Paperwork: the reason people become evil in the first place.

Now you will see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb and buried in paperwork.

*remembers hitchhikers guide to the galaxy* Yes, but sometimes even evil has to do paper work. And if Cheliax really is as regimented as they say they must have a TON of paperwork just to steal a purse.

I had this happen just recently I asked about Master of Pentacles they said its not that great why would I want it? I told them that instead of that I went with Lost Nobility. Then that really confused them with one person saying that it only good for hellknights and you would be getting a trait for JUST one type of character. I told them that I got it mainly for the roleplay aspect. Since he was born and raised Cheliax and has a thing for all thing undead and necromantic. I thought that would be a reason he is big into that, he is trying to bring back the family name by bringing back the family itself. Now that the family is undead they wont suffer from the "weaknesses of the flesh" and could rule all of Cheliax forever.

I didnt hear anything else about it so either they loved the idea or didnt want to get further involved with a crazy person. lol

Since your character isn't a cleric, it doesn't matter how many alignment steps he is away from his god, although, thematically, you might prefer to at least be non-antithetical!

In addition to Torag (and the dwarf-friendly human gods Abadar and Irori, both LN), there's a mini-pantheon of other dwarven gods, relatives of Torag that are more or less dwarven demigods.

Angradd, 'the Forge Fire,' is Torag's younger brother, a LG god of aggressive warfare (Torag is more defensive warfare / protection), whose favored weapon is the greataxe and who focuses on both fire and war.

Bolka, 'the Golden Gift,' is the daughter of Torag and his wife Folgrit, a NG dwarven goddess of love and beauty.

Dranngvit, 'the Debt Minder,' is a LN half-sister to Torag, spiteful and concerned with matters of vengeance, worshipped by bitter and hateful folk, mostly.

Droskar, 'the Dark Smith,' is the primary god of the Duergar, believed by many surface world scholars to be a 'dead god.' He's NE, and the god of toil, slavery, cheating, etc.

Folgrit, 'the Watchful Mother,' Torag's wife, is the LG goddess of mothers, children and the hearth and home, as well as protector of widows and orphans.

Grundinnar, 'the Peacemaker,' is son of Torag and Folgrit and sister to Bolka. He's a LG god of friendship and loyalty and community.

Kols, 'the Oathkeeper,' is Bolka and Grundinnar's grim and serious brother, a LN god of duty above all, who punishes those who shirk their duties or break oaths.

Magrim, 'the Taskmaster,' is another grim figure, the LN god of the dwarven underworld, who sees all to their proper place in the afterlife, and is Torag's older brother.

Trudd, 'the Mighty,' is Torag's youngest son, a NG god of strength, known for being the physically strongest of the dwarven gods, and having a short beard, due to his relative youth. He guards his father's hall, when Torag is away, and favors the warhammer.

Being one of the few non-lawful gods, and one that seems to be full of youthful energy and strength, I'd...

Actually Cayden Cailean was my first choice. I liked his history and he likes a good beer. But besides a good strong beer my character loves a good fight. That was why I really liked Gorum but he doesnt know how to sit down and relax. If he would just learn how to have a good STRONG beer and relax, he could be my god anytime. :) But I will think about Trudd a bit more. Thanks.
