I've been kicking around the idea of playing a half-orc cleric of Garl Glittergold (he was raised by gnomes). I also like the Divine Prankster PrC from Races of Stone (a prankster half-orc with divine spells, yes I know that's wrong). So, while I was helping a friend work out how to create a Luggage in D&D (OK, that's wrong, too), I sat down and designed the perfect vehicle for allowing this concept: the Comedy domain.
Comedy Domain
Deities: Garl Glittergold, Olidammara.
Granted Power: Add Bluff, Perform (Comedy), and Sleight of Hand to the cleric's class skills.
Comedy Spells
1. Grease
2. Tasha's Hideous Laughter
3. Shrink Item
4. Glibness
5. Mirage Arcana
6. Mislead
7. Sequester
8. Otto's Irresistable Dance
9. Time Stop
Now the half-orc can qualify for Divine Prankster as a cleric 3/stoneblessed 3. I share this to the rest of the board for their amusement (the looks around the gaming table are bound to be priceless when you start to play this character).
" I just tunneled into town, and man,are my arms tired !!"
"You all from out of town? Another Plane? City of Brass, is that near Kenosha?"
Could be fun :)

I like it, actually. The idea of using non-typical race/diety combinations is a fine one as long as it is not done too frequently or for the wrong (i.e. munchkinism) reasons. I once played a female half-orc cleric of Ilmater (the FR god of suffering) that was badly scarred mentally and physically from her treatment at the hands of the orc tribe in which she was raised. The character was a memorable one, and her willingness to suffer so others didn't have to ended up being a powerful story element. I say give it a try, it may just work out.
Cool. I like this domain.
