I like the Metal domain, so with that and Strength he's going to be a hammer-wielding, skull-cracking, doesn't take crap from anyone and certainly doesn't heal you if you piss him off type of cleric; focusing his spells largely on battle and mostly on ones that he can benefit himself with (and others too if its advantageous). True neutral, a fierce temper anda  big hammer! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I do lvoe the domains system. Speciality priests from 2e were a nice idea but executed incredibly badly - so many that I saw were just insanely broken, giving massive advantages left, right and centre. I reckon domains was a big step in the right direction.</blockquote>
