Sithrak is awesome, and so is Oglaf. It's also like 85% very NSFW. I'm just sayin'.

The thing is in town, the Paladin barely spoke. It was really in the wilds away from 'civilisation' when I noticed the cruelty etc. The reason I push the non cvombat encounters where I can is I want ...more from local gaming table populace than they are currently willing to give.

I bought a bunch of these ( https://www.topatoco.com/merchant.m...roduct_Code=OG-SITHRAKTRACTS&Category_Code=OG ) and for a home campaign one day, I am going to play a 'cleric' of Sithrak just to hand them out as needed.

I ran a Priestess of Loviatar all the way through PotA, along with a number of modules in season 2 and the Tier 3 season 3 (she is currently 15th level: Fighter (Dueling, Battlemaster) 9, Warlock (Fiend, Tome) 5 (refluffed as divine powers with Loviatar as the 'fiend'), Cleric (Life) 1, Background: Acolyte of Loviatar). She is LE and a Zhentarim (currently rank 4). When the SCAG rebuild was authorized, I played around with converting her Paladin, but decided it didn't have the same feel.
Aneka is more into the BDSM aspect of Loviatar, which was awesome to RP in an area of Faerun where she was slowly beginning to be recognized. It led to some circumstances where she was simply refused entry to places - like Summit Hall when the party stopped there - but she also gathered a loyal group of 'followers' in various locations by being able to prey on the weaker minded NPCs via a combination of flirting and rejection techniques.
But, she's also a priestess - and there isn't much in the way of direct religious warfare in the Realms because the gods are so close by - so she wasn't particularly antagonistic to other clerics in the party (though there were some lively debates). With her present, the party usually relies on Intimidation to get information, rather than Persuasion (though she can be charming when it suits her). Her major issue is particularly with people that are experiencing pleasure without downsides (idle rich, people who prey on the weak for their own benefit without risk to themselves, etc.)
She was rarely cruel without purpose, and there wasn't much in the way of compassion. For example, the group ended up based out of the Bargewright Inn in PotA (and Aneka was the third vote in running the place), and when refugees started to pile up from the activities of the Elemental Cults, she had them change the prices - she didn't gouge the refugees - she merely raised the prices for people who weren't refugees, so the refugees were getting a 'discount'.
But that character doesn't work in Ravenloft - the people are too beaten down and hopeless. So I think the person is right to play up other aspects of the diety.
