Is Karana or Rodcet Nife the cooler god for a ginger human cleric?

[Cen]

I'm making a cleric in qeynos area with the cool firey hair and green glowing eyes

Who gets cooler items?
Better items?
Makes more sense?
Sexier?
Alien life guy or priest of thunder and water and stuff?

Oh right does either have better overall faction? I assume karana is less kos to evils


Also HTF do you pronounce Rodcet Nife anyway

[Evia]

I vote rodcet nife for sure!

And idk i pronounce it ROD-SET KNIFE

[ScottBerta]

Trick question a ginger could never be cool.

I'd worship Karana mostly to kill Lashun Novashine once in awhile for annoying Karana with his incessant hysterics and shouting - Karana is obviously the superior deity. You don't see anybody in Qeynos or the plains of Karana desperately proselytizing like that awful insect and gold beggar, Lashun.

Besides the Karanites being more secure in their faith and devotion to the Norrathian Zeus, there are massive plains and their residents named in favor of the Stormlord. Perhaps those treehuggers in Surefall will like you more - certainly those Hobbits over in Rivervale will acknowledge your wisdom?

Besides the ETish deity, Rodcet lets enchanters outsmart him constantly by exploiting very inexperienced fighters to massacre his favorite "holy fish" ALLLL the time. Even random domesticated wolves of the intellectually inferior barbarians are able to eat his holy fish without serious repercussions apparently.

Besides- there is FAR more intrigue it seems in the Temple of Storms quests vs Temple of Life. They are spying on the temple of Bertoxxulous, putting large bounties on integrated and multicultural bandits, and trying to retrieve the decapitated head of the lunatic in the sewers calling himself the "Rat King".

Does anyone remember visiting a fun Rodcet Nife zone in PoP? No.

Plane of Storms AND Bastion of Thunder?? Bless Karana! ⛈⛈

Karana = god of farmers and boring plains, Rodcet Nife = god of life, healing, and one vocal priest.

Tough choice, but I think I'd have to rate the god of farmers as the least cool.

[Dolalin]

Rodcet Nife = Rocket Life.

The C is hard. ROD-KET NYFE.

You're saying the name of the god with an alien spaceship as a temple is basically pronounced Rocket Knife (or Rocket Life, which would make more sense but I don't quite understand how you get from "N" to "L)?

Suddenly it all makes sense!

[Muggens]

I worship Rodcet Nife. Peace yo

[Asteria]

Conceptually Rodcet Nife is quite good but his followers seem kinda weak or very apathetic about the Koalindl fish being constantly slaughtered right under their noses. Roleplaying a Prime Healer paladin or cleric on a pvp server would be more fun IMHO.

They should have made the UFO vaporize non-fish when a Koalindl fish was being attacked? Or pull you up into the UFO with a tractor beam? Since they value life, they could put you through forced rehab while locked in a stasis field? You then are required to repeat a certain phrase literally 100 times and pay 100 platinum to be freed with a minor faction hit.

I'm just saying that's where they got the name from.

Like how Tunare is Nature.

Well Tunare makes sense: it's an anagram of nature. But how the EQ devs went from "Rocket Life" to "Rodcet Nife" eludes me.

Brad was high as f€&k one day and mis-typed Rocket Nife as Rodcet Nife and no one was game to correct him.

Rumours only though.

Rocket Nife was originally going to be a Gnome only God.

[Cen]

So I met brad mcquad at pax East this year, and now that I have I assume any crackpot theory that involves him being high is probably legit.

Coolest cleric in game is certainly human Karana, god of storms and the open sky. Even a ginger cleric can be (very) slightly cool, if he's a human follower of Karana. Just don't waste your pixels on a crummy haffer and you're good.

rodcet nife = fine docter

i hope this helps

Wonkie the master of anagrams! :)

I still think I'm going to pronounce his name as either rocket life or rocket knife (depending on my mood).

Speaking of silly ideologies that I probably wouldn't pick, I don't understand how clerics of hate or love work. They seem like such vacuous concepts to follow and even if they weren't they are so "all in" that they seem nonsensical for someone to worship or serve these gods. At least Mith is level headed conceptually.

Also, I was curious about the backstory on some of these dieties so I actually made a cleric to hail and see dialog on different guilds, and I came to the realization that most cleric guilds, in fact a lot of guilds for other classes are filled to the brim with bumbling idiots who are narrow minded or blind to obvious problems that they have to face.

I swear, the arcane science guild in FP and maybe the tower of the spurned in neriak are the only groups who aren't morons for the most part.

Back to rodcet, his followers especially are nonsensical. Two of them literally threaten to murder you when you hail them as a new potential cleric serving the prime healer and being all about that sweet alien.

[Swish2]

My cleric is a dark elf, 100% would roll dark elf again too.

As a devoted Inny worshipper, we strive to purple line as many tanks/pullers as possible before CH'ing them...giving their worthless lives some ironic sense of self value. The sheer panic alone facilitates trust. Should the tank walk out of healing range (distrust) his death is assured and self inflicted.

Karana seems an odd choice for a cleric to worship, btw.

[Diogene]

An odd west coast human cleric would be Bertoxx. They got interesting jewerly based on black sapphire and good fashion with cultural armor. They are evil also. Not entirely sure if they start in Qeynos even tho Bertoxx is clearly a western god. But a ginger cleric worshiping the king of disease and rotten flesh would call for something different and probably fun. Rodcet Nife might do for a boring narrow minded cleric and Karana for a more redneck kinda healer i dont know, just thoughts

[Immok]

Rodcet Nife, since it is the defter icon.

All very good posts. Hail Karana & Bertoxxulous
(I might be slightly biased because I 1st played EQ on the Karana server?)

Besides the Karanites being more secure in their faith and devotion to the Norrathian Zeus, there are massive plains and their residents named in favor of the Stormlord.

While Karana does resemble Zeus (the original depiction to a lesser extent), the name itself likely comes from Antahkarana, a Sanskrit word in Hinduism which refers to a communication "bridge" between the middle mind and higher mind or, in more common terms, the personality and the soul. Which is interesting when one considers that the largest, most recognizable features of the Karanas are its bridges. And the Antahkarana symbol itself represents ancient healing and meditation and has the appearance of a storm system. So as a cleric, the deity ties in quite well, though arguably better for a druid or even a monk.

As for Rodcet Nife, the name is also an anagram for "rodent fice", with "fice" being a variant of "feist" meaning "mongrel" or "dog". It's a bit of a stretch and makes little sense considering the Prime Healer takes on the form of a fish, but then the entire Qeynos area is teeming with gnolls and rats.

As a Rodcet Nife worshiper, you can even meet Rodcet Nife itself. Just killing the fishies underneath the floating spaceship you spawned out of. I'm sure Rodcet Nife will be pleased to meet a follower of its cause.
