05-01-05, 06:54 PM Hello, this is the first time I'm making a cleric, and the diety is St.Cuthbert.

However, the PHB doesn't go into much detail with him.

Can someone, perhaps with some of the old supplements, fill me in on some of the details of this deity? (not asking for anything to violate the copyright, just perhaps a more detailed summary than what exists in the PHB).

How would a cleric of St.Cuthbert behave?

The PHB also mentions exerting just punishment on those that break the law. However, what laws are we talking about? St.Cuthbert's laws? The laws of my homeland? My own personal moral laws? Or any laws of anyplace that my character happens to be?

This will be sort of difficult for me, as I tend to lean more towards chaotic myself.

Any advice is appreciated.

it goes about him in complete divine.

His clerics are very military focused, and when not drilling, reading scriptures.
They follow "commandments". Thou shall not ... They love crusades and donate frequently to local charity organizations.

Talk in a raspy, gravelly voice (Like Solid Snake, or Sam Fisher)

Smoke (Cigarettes, not a pipe)

Spend a fair amount of time maintaining equipment.

Take it a little too personally when someone does something wrong, and then obsess about it until they've paid for it or atoned.

Be gruff with most people, but soften for close friends and the truly innocent or helpless.

05-02-05, 06:56 PM Thanks for the info, I checked the complete divine and it helped a bit.

Would it be reasonable to forumlate a "code of St. Cuthbert", and use these as the laws of adherance, rather than whatever local laws that I may be under st the time?

Would it be reasonable for such a LN character to adhere to honor, loyalty, chivalry, have a code of conduct, view chaos as a weakness, but still view authority as something that can't necessarily always be trusted?

That sounds more like a follower of Rao or even Heironeous than St. Cuthbert. Cuthbertines are pretty militaristic.
