Strength alone is nothing. But when utilized, opens limitless possibilities the strength to crush your enemies, the strength to help others, the strength to overcome any challenge. Regardless of the reason, strength is invaluable to have and deities of all forms lay claim to it as one of their aspects. Clerics of such deities vary wildly in their actions, with some seeking out greater and greater challenges to revel in their deity’s might, while others live quietly among the common folk offering their strong arms in the day to day trials of simple life. Deities of strength – such as Corrus, Heramar, Gruumsh, and Baphomet – champion the further development of their clerics own strength and condemn them when its potential is left to idle hands.
