That's an interesting enough choice, as I kinda feel like the Freeport/Kelethin religions are overrepresented in the half elf population compared with the Qeynos religions. But I gotta be honest... I just don't understand Prexus. Their whole deal is like water? They worship the sea, and are into boats and whatever? Idk what that even looks like, maybe bc I've never been super impressed with water activities. Mountains are much cooler than salty seas if you're after some wholesome exercise imo.

And the Qeynos religions this weird water guy is competing with are pretty cool. Bertoxxulous and Rodcet Nife are fighting for the soul of this entire half of the continent, and they both make much more sense to me from a roleplay perspective. Plague worship is fucking metal and I've done a lot of Bertoxx rp, and Nife is literally just what you try to irl by fighting disease- easy to understand the motivation there. There's also Karana which is very whatever like Prexus. Think I've said before how I don't understand why we have a water god and a rain god, but mostly they're just not for me.

Obviously a Prexus warrior is exponentially cooler than an agnostic loser warrior, but I think maybe I need someone to exemplify good Prexus rp before I'd ever consider it on par with cool shit like Bertoxx and Nife. Erudites are big into Prexus too which I absolutely do not understand when Quellious is an option. Everyone understands the concept of peace, and compared with "the sea" tranquillity wins out every time imo.

See I think Prexus was done DIIIIRTY.

First up, why is he such a big deal to Erudites who really have nothing to do with the sea?

Seconly, the cultural armor of east antonica humans is ‘seafarers’ and their principal city is ‘FreePORT’.

A bunch of pirates, traders and explorers the lot of them - these are people that should be obsessed with appeasing the fickle oceans and seas!

Personally I would just chill in Siren's Grotto with the faction spell and perhaps in Kedge Keep's Temple of Prexus (although I'm not sure it's possible to become non-KoS to Kedge Keep's seahorses). Those two zones are the best two zones in the whole game.

He's a surfer dude deity. All Prexus worshippers should be played as though they just came in from surfing, hair full of sea salt, and just vibing.

If a CT worshipping erudite cleric turned up in North Freeport's cleric/paladin guild area, what would you say their faction would be?

 

apprehensive! I always felt like that would make them kos

Everyone knows about the race/religion rep modifiers, but people don't really mention the class modifier often.

For almost all combinations the class mod isn't a big factor since with few exceptions you are forced to pick evil dieties on evil races or classes and good deities with good races or classes.

Things get interesting in the few cases where you can pick an evil deity with a neutral race and neutral class. Half Elf Innoruuk Warrior is one of those weird neutral/neutral/evil combos where even your own guild barely tolerates you, you're sort of "neutral evil" in d&d terms.

Then you have the "true neutral" combinations of evil deity human, erudite, and gnome clerics. You're essentially chosing "neutral/good/evil" modifiers which cancel each other out in various levels depending on the NPCs. Since cleric NPCs have a very favorable modifier for the cleric class, That's why you're accepted even in the goody two shoes guilds.

So yeah, counterintuitively evil neutral race clerics should be considered neutral characters, not evil. Character's for game mechanic purposes.

On this server your race/class/deity faction modifiers are applied at character creation, rather than live.

Old half elf warriors of innoruuk had some pretty terrible modifiers which were not classic.

Quite a bit of work has been done on correcting the faction mods for the areas they interact with, so new half elf warriors of innoruuk are a little bit more tolerated in their typical haunts (barely!) than their older cousins.
