Alright I want a bit of advice here. Brok has been pressured by many deities clerics to join their cult or relegion but....quite frankly they have the charisma score to be a cleric yes....and they are convincing enough with their rolls. But, and yes it is a big big butt, they don't have the knowledge of the deity. I will admit one guy did very well at the whole knowledge of the deity and such. As for the others...I was unimpressed but of course Brok was impressed with all the flashing lights and offers of power. So I find myself going ooc on this because I do not want to be brought into a group with no knowledge of their deity only promises of power. What should Brok do? Go where the charisma score is or go where I feel the cleric was best shown through and likely has more power as well lol?
(Sorry about my poor grammar and spelling)

I have the most fun when I decide with a mix of what my character would do and what cleric/faith would probably bring as much enjoyment to playing as possible. A cleric who presents his god's dogma in a clever way that makes it reasonable for most people to worship him is a lot of fun to be around, especially if he takes pains to relate everything in life back to his deity's teachings. How proactive a priest is should be something to keep in mind as well. If a cleric is actively recruiting people to the faith and is trying to do something big to please his deity, you're probably going to have more fun than sitting around with a priest who isn't doing much, no matter how charasmatic he is.

My advice here would be to sit down and really think about your character, look hard at his stats and how they should affect his decisions, and then write out (physically jot down) a personality for Brok. Then you can think about what he would do.
And before someone esle posts it, just think...WWBD.
Some examples I could see:
Low wis? Pehaps he would commit to everyone at once, causing himself some big problems in the long run.
Low Int? Perhaps mispeaking about the religion as he easily forgets which cleric is with each God. (ie, with cleric of Talona, and he says something like "Yeah...thank Torm for that blessing. Geez."
