02-27-07, 10:27 PM I am trying to make a new villian for my group.
He is gonna be a half orger barbabrian/cleric/ravager of Garagos. It is set in the Silver Marches. Which Beast totem/tribe whould i have his human parents out of and have the marjority of his followers come from .

The plan is to have him try to sweep the cities of the north away and bring Garagos more power to help destory the hated Tempus.

As for best beast totem, I would say that bears would work or maybe dire badgers. Any creature that is known for raging and bloodlust would probably do. If you wanted to take it a bit further, a white dragon bloodscale fury (from Draconomican) would probably be perfect (the whole image of a dragon leaking blood all around it reminds me of Targus alot).

03-04-07, 12:12 PM None of those, as simply put: Garagos has nothing to do with them.
Its Father Uthgar who supports the Totem Spirits that represent the 11 tribes of the Uthgardt..
Note that it would be a cool idea to have a barbarian of one of those tribes be "converted" to the worship of Garagos... just like Helm, Ilmater Torm and Tyr have taken followers away from the worship of the Battle Father, in particular the whole of the Black Lion Tribe (apart from 1 priest.)

Edit: I checked the pdf on "do's and dont's, (as i don't have my 2nd ed priest books with me) and Garagos has (Dire) Wolves, "Worgs" (not animals but still servants), Wolverines, Weasels as servants, so any of those animals could do flavor wise.

that is what i am having him do. to him Uthgar is betraying the people by not destorying the "invaders' and Garagos is useing the guy as a pawn to increase his power by spreading destruction. with each victory more of the young barbarians are being converted to Garagos as a way to perserve thier way of life, even if it leads them down a raod of destruction.

03-04-07, 10:22 PM So, what the goal here is what "tribe" of Uthgardt Barbarians would this charicter most likely get members to convert to Gargos?

Most likely the Red Tigers. Red Tigers are the most "blood thirsty" of the human tribes and most likely to embrace Gargos.
They are very traditional, so it would be unlikely that many of the older members would join up.

Black Ravens are are die hard Uthgardt fanatics, but still younger members from this tribe can be turned.

Grey Wolves- Garagos could possibly attract former Grey Wolves. One must be awaire that Grey Wolves are Lycans for one year after they leave that tribe. This is a condition that most grey wolves like and would not like to give it up so easily.
Now if Gargos promiced a simmilar ability for converts fro this tribe. Say Were Wolverines or the like.

Heck, even the Elk tribe has posibilities.

To me, what this sounds like is that a great "Form a new tribe" senerio. Something similar, but yet different.
Say, a "Blood Wolverine Tribe" or whatever strikes thier fancy.
