Description

Half-orc cleric of Rovagug 8

Before Combat: The cleric casts protection from energy (fire).

During Combat: The cleric casts divine power and shield of faith at the start of combat, then closes to melee distance. If combat starts and he cannot reach any opponents on the first round, he casts chaos hammer or unholy blight. If fighting creatures he knows are good, he uses his scythe of evil ability on his greataxe. If he has allies, he casts prayer.

The wrath priest serves the primordial god of disaster and destruction, striking down innocents and enemies with fire, blade, and hatred. He is a quintessential nihilist, and can not be bought or reasoned with except as it furthers his god’s horrific ends.

Aznek: Aznek is cruel, violent, and destructive—a childhood bully given profane magic and physical might. He loves the screams of his victims, and smashes beautiful things for the fun of it. He likes having strong minions, and encourages them to challenge him for dominance, though none has succeeded. He lets these would-be rivals live, albeit with broken arms or legs as reminders of their failure.

Combat Encounters: Aznek makes a good solo encounter, boss of a group of raiders (especially orcs), or minion of a strong leader or powerful warbeast.

Roleplaying Suggestions: Aznek’s nature makes it difficult to interact with him except as his servant.
