Will picking Rallos Zek as my deity make me kos?

[SeasickBill]

I'm rolling a barbarian warrior. The deity isn't as important as the pros and cons that come with the choice. If I pick Rallos Zek then I hear I will be accepted in Oggok but will I be KOS elsewhere? If so then can I raise faction with who I'm KOS with? Would Agnostic or The Tribunal be a better choice when it comes to faction?

Crakneks have a massive neg to barbarians - even bigger than humans.

Zek is largely tolerated, except by followers of Brell.

I am not sure of all the classic zone issues.

The nice thing about Rallos Zek is you will start as dubious to the Kael Giants in Velious. Normally you start as KoS. There are a few good quests you can do if you are not KoS to the Kael Giants.

Both of these quests can be multi quested.

Unless you have a shiny set of kael armor mqs waiting for you, just go agnostic imo. And even then, kael faction can be obtained regardless. I wouldn’t risk it.

For what it's worth, I have a Gnome Warrior who follows Rallos Zek. The West Freeport Guards are Apprehensive, and the North Freeport Guards are indifferent. I don't think Gnome by itself has enough of a modifier to say that will be different for Barbarians. So you should be fine in Freeport and Qeynos at least.

As JimJam points out, Kaladim (Brell) may be an issue. Unless you want to do the crushbone belts quest, there isn't much reason to go to Kaladim anyway. It's not a long journey to get to Greater Faydark if you need to find merchants and a bank.

I am not sure about Erudite factions, if you wanted to try going to the Warrens to level.

My rallos barb can walk through oggok,just avoid the sk and shaman guilds.
Haven't found him particularly hated anywhere you wouldn't expect. Not kos in kaladim anywhere

What’s a rallos barb’s starting ot outpost faction? Potentially a nice option for getting hammer easier.

[PatChapp]

Kos at the outpost, I think.

[DeathsSilkyMist]

Yeah Kunark is simpler from what I remember. I don't think diety matters as much. If your race is generally considered good, you go to FV. Otherwise you go to Outpost. I could be wrong though.

[PatChapp]

My agnostic gnome is good with the outpost. But I think gnomes are neutral and barbarians are good
