Explain Grendath to me, please, so I know the joke...
Not really much of a joke - more of a really common occurence. It is kind of a standard (not required or anything like that) that dwarven clerics follow Grendath.
In case you are interested in a short writeup on Grendath:
[Sblock]
Grendath
"gren-dath"
Lord of Fools, the Laughing Warrior
Enworldian Lesser Deity
Symbol: Crossed fingers in front of a field of grey.
Home Plane: Enworld itself.
Alignment: Chaotic Good.
Portfolio: Luck, heroism in battle, freedom, exploration.
Worshippers: Warriors, adventurers, those in dire straits, bards.
Cleric Alignments: CG,NG,CN.
Domains: Chaos, Good, Luck, Trickery, War.
Favored Weapon: "Glimmerbite" (longsword).
Grendath usually appears as a middle aged man, often a human, sometimes an elf, or as often as not a gnome or halfling.
The Laughing Warrior always seems to have a gleam in his eye, not of madness or malice, but as if he were privy to some great joke that others were unaware of as of yet. Grendath is often revered by Gnomes and Halflings for his nature as a Trickster, using his brain as often as his sword arm. It is said that 'Fortune Favors the Fool', and nowhere else is it more apparent than amongst the Clergy of this wild and daring Deity, his clerics often heard uttering the above quote or 'Do you want to live forever!?!' as they jump pell-mell into danger's maw. Still, Grendath's Faith is a fast growing one, as more and more folk are taking to the life of the Adventurer, creating Grand Stories that seem to please their laughing God to no end.[/Sblock]
