      He's not evil, I've told him that I'm against an evil god not having an evil DC and vice versa for a good-aligned god and non-good DCs.

      I did, however, propose in Discord if we granted DC, we'd have to give him a quest. If he gets shifted to CE during it then he'd earned it, but it'd still be a moral choice of the character.

      At this point I think 100% Official Clergy. But he has to leave the Crimson Guard.

        Official Clergy, leave Crimsons. Not Divine Champ unless he gets more aggressive and evil and pushes some real change that affects everyone.

          No to all.

          Official Clergy
          Does the deity have a church in the setting?

          • They can join the Church and get relative NPC backing of said church.

          They don't have a church?

          • They cannot be official clergy without first finding a way to bring the church into the setting (Note that the very act of earning the church in the setting will likely mean that character is Official Clergy of it)

          --- If Ulric wants to be OC then he needs to stop fiddling around with some mercenary unit and focus on representing Talos making Gondegal think he's worth official recognition. Right now all his actions are done by the Crimson Guard member who happens to worship Talos. Remember that OC gives legal protections and only churches approved by Gondegal will get official status and therefore be eligible for Official Clergy

          Talos

          Life is a combination of random effects and chaos, so grab what you can when you can, because Talos may take you to the afterlife at any moment. Preach the might of Talos, and always warn others of the forces only Talos can command – the fury of all Faerun. Walk unafraid in storms, forest fires, earthquakes, and other disasters, for the power of Talos protects you. Do so publicly whenever possible, so that others see that only Talos can protect them. Make others fear Talos by showing the destruction he and his servants can cause. To avoid tasting his fury, pray to him energetically and tell all folk taht such observations – and only such observations – can protect them from the furies of gales, hailstorms, winds, floods, droughts, blizzards, hurricanes, and other natural dooms. Hurl such forces at one’s foes if Talos deems a place or a person worth defending. One cannot afford to ignore Talos, but must box down and worship him. Proclaim this message to all and show everyone the destruction event the slightest of the servants of Talos can cause.

          Divine Champion

          • The only mechanical requirement that is still enforced is alignment. If he want to be a DC then he needs to start acting CE and earn the alignment shift through IC actions. He is not doing enough CE that I have seen.

          Addition: And if you are thinking DC then why not be CE at creation and RP that at creation?

                It seems like the road he's taking (leaving the Crimson) and starting to consider his faith as a motivation driver is what's expected from every single cleric from day 1, not something to be awarded.

                So far I'm "NO" to all just like Prof.

                    Alright I'm convinced. Changing my vote to No. But Verk will want clear direction how to do OC, he won't be happy.

                        I'll mark it as rejected, majority in favor of no reward.

                          Verk has earned OC before. What needs to be impressed upon him is what it means to be OC of Talos. The option for heresy is wide open so if he can come up with a more palpable version of Talos then who knows.

                          Start here Heresy and You

                          I'll talk to him and we'll go from there.
