<thomas_IRC> I am considering a Talossian- a cleric who actually preaches regularly to the masses. I get the feeling most clerics in EFU are just there cause they get free buffs <thomas_IRC> <thomas_IRC> How far can one stretch his dogma? I am considering pointing out regularily without destruction there cannot be any reconstruction, therefore renewal cannot take place. <thomas_IRC> <thomas_IRC> Does Talos want destruction of every thing on Toril, for it to be a barren wasteland of fire, earthquake, and vortices?

I kinda wanted these questions by the Sherry (Damn you RD) So she logged out and Most DM's aren't on for the next....10 hours. (At least I'm not)

So kinda please be answering.

A shame Sherry had to log, she probably knows the most FR lore out of the DM team!

I would say, though, that you should just read the dogma and decide for yourself. You can play your cleric however you like, and I personally don't mind odd takes on the dogma. If you stretch it too much, though, we'll probably give you a poignant warning IG, then if you continue you'll get spellfailure. It'd have to be a pretty extreme betrayal of the dogma though!

Does talos focus more on Physical destruction, or the destruction of long standing ideals, like law and that annoying response, "Because it's always been done this way."

Physicial, chaotic destruction. But that's not to stop you from focussing on something like that.

I kinda would think he would oppose tradition...ah well.

Do that if you want, it's within the bounds of his being a chaotic destructive deity. It's just not a specific focus, nor readily mentioned in his dogma.
