Cleric of Rovagug as a king just seems wrong

[InvaderGrim]

It goes against so much of the faith its insane.Any ideas as to how it couid work.

[Iry]

Yeah. He probably should not have been an option.

[Balkoth]

Considering how easily your kingdom gets destroyed, it almost seems like the only choice.

Well... cleric of Erastil -which Im playing- seems weird as a King too. But then again even clerics don't follow 100% their religion. At least I'm kicking out heretics, mages that are dangerous and wasting their time n similar stuff...

[J4n1]

Heck, my choices for high priest seem pretty insane while we're at it.

In some ways, Harrim is the sanest choice.
There's the 3rd option who is a Priestess of Lamashtu and how that goes through without the whole kingdom revolting i have no idea.

The key factor is Rovagug (and his clerics by proxy) is concerned with only one thing: the destruction of everything in existence.

Rovagug is the one god that every other god in the setting (even the evil ones) hates for this reason.

Clerics seems to be a more flexable version of there religion. Maybe they think leading a government would allow them to bring down the rest of the world faster? It's really a stretch, maybe they win on a game over screen?

Anyone who seriously follows that religion would be dead already as their god wants them dead too.

That Gyronna is also a screwed up one, I guess it's legit as a leaders religion. Although it's not what you want in a leader.

Lamashtu seems more legit a religion for players. Hell you can even get an advisor who follows them.

Make a strong kingdom that is able to destroy everything else, then destroy yourself.

I like Harrim. I only had one one brush with Groetus and the DM had portrayed the clergy as murdering lets-get-this-over-faster b***s. Harrim seems saddly... just realistic...

And yeah, Rovagug except for what Yalda said doesn't fit.

That could work, provided priests of Rovagug are capable of that degree of planning.

Clerics of Rovagug are forbidden from building or constructing things.
Like some kind of anti-dwarf.
