Human cleric diety?

[loramin]

Because clerics have so many starting options (race * deity combinations per race), I updated the Cleric wiki page not too long ago to summarize all of the benefits of every race, as objectively as possible.

It even includes links to all the religion-specific items for most religions. You will probably find it to be more comprehensive than the posts here, although if anyone sees anything mentioned here that's not in the wiki, feel free to edit the wiki and add it!

Personally I'd say that humans are just about the worst race for any class, but Innoruuk-worshipping human clerics do have the unique advantage among race/religion combinations of getting the Innoruuk symbol (snare clicky) and being able to get a few nice items from Paineel that require a huge amount of faction work for other race/religion combinations (eg. http://wiki.project1999.com/Dread_Forged_Shield).

Other strong options include Dwarves (for best overall stats), High Elves (best Wisdom and root clicky item) and Halflings (Sneak and Hide are handy since Clerics don't get invis, and they level 5% faster).

Really want to make a human cleric but there are so many diety options. Any suggestions on which would be good for gearing? I'm kinda leaning toward inny but not real sold.

Or is Human cleric a terrible idea? I'd also be open another race as long as it's not dark elf.

Human clerics are fine. Innoruuk followers can quest for the snare necklace, and have somewhat different faction alignments than good-aligned Humans.

Pretty well all of the available Cleric races have something to offer. Dwarves have good strength and good night vision. High Elves have the highest Wisdom and best Charisma. Dark Elves have night vision, hide, and access to the snare necklace. Halflings have hide and sneak. Erudites have some interesting quests available. Humans have the second-highest strength and charisma (all other races have a decent score in one or the other, but not both) as well as some very nice starting areas and good quests. Gnomes come with their own special tradeskill. They're all perfectly fine for their own reasons.

That is a nice summary, Danth, but you failed to mention the most important aspect of gnome.

Rolling a gnome communicates to other players that you have drug problems and poor impulse control. It highlights that you will be greedy and untrustworthy in positions of responsibility.

Hope this helps.

I suggest a healthy diet-y for a cleric. Bazing!
