GrFi hybrid which deity? CIP

Hi,

I don't have much experience with Gr but I got this nice early Char, which I decided to take care of and not to waste.
Could you give some advice regarding which God should I pick for making a good hybrid?
I have been thinking to Veh or even Ash perhaps.
Thank you very much.

Best wishes

Re: GrFi hybrid which deity? CIP

Kiku is a very strong god and would work well.

I often take gods before getting to temple. If you just want to win with a GrFi then of course picking the first Trog/Fed or other strong god altar is great.

If you're already at temple, then just stick to strong gods. If you have some fruit, consider Fedhas.

Veh is not strong and probably not a good idea for this character. It will take a good bit of XP to get destruction spells castable, so I'd stick with melee.

Ash isn't bad, but also not particularly strong. If you have a bunch of remove curse scrolls Ash gets better.

I wanted to go for strong magic and not so supportive as Kiku, but perhaps it's too much to go for LV9 spells and try to hybridize.
Let me know what you think.

Re: GrFi hybrid which deity? CIP

You can pick Oka. Train combat skills as usual until you find some good books. You can then focus on learning magic skills while using Heroism to help you kill dudes in melee.

You're a fighter, so any magic you learn is going to be support magic to boost your role in melee. Even pure conjurations spells would be best used to soften up monsters at range before you finish them with melee, although it's usually more effective to learn proper "support" magic than simply offensive magic on a fighter.

You'll never be a full caster on this character - 13 int is far too low to cast level 9 spells. Obviously you could raise it by the time you get to the late game, but you won't really reach high enough values to make that viable. You'd want to learn support magic up to around level 5 or so, and not go higher than that. Twisting a gargoyle fighter into a mage would be a challenge conduct more than anything else. Kiku, regeneration, animate dead (with receive corpses) is a much less demanding plan, and would only require about level 10-12 necromancy with maybe 4-5 charms. You'll primarily be training your physical skills. You'll be able to invoke torment somewhat more than most races since you resist it, but still be careful with that.
