o Bonus of 2 or 10%, on every die roll, in whichever direction (+ or -) is

the bolt hurts friend or self or some other bad occurence (the mayor's
beard is now gone...)

special effect: hammer throw as per Thor in Marvel Comics.

o 10th level: +1H&D with warhammer, warhammer returns when thrown
o 11th level: 2 more lightning bolts & chain lightning each per day
o 12th level: can cast Power Word: Stun (2/day), special effect: Thunderclap.
I do suppose you now know why he's on the fighter's xp table and probably should
be on the Mage's ?
Of course, these abilities DO depend on the priest having his holy symbol, being
a warhammer.

Re: Priest of the Thunder-God Thor
1) Thor is strong but not neccesarily stupid. Of course his brawn his greather
than his mind, but that is because he is THE strongest being in the universe,
and that's without his strength-belt. Of course Thor may appear stupid
compared to Odin or Mimir. But the comparasion is not correctly. Compared to
humans like us, Thor will will have infinitly more wisdom. But he doesn't
usually need it.
2) Whaddaya mean Thor doesn't bathe? Considering all the rooms at Bilskirnir
(his castle), at least one is bound to be a bathroom. Last count was 580, I
think. The Viking age people was very clean (or is it cleanly), compared to
Christian Medieval ages, when plagues were more frequent despite greater
isolation.
3) Low charisma? Never. Charisma is the ability be liked by others, consider
then that Thor is the single-most worshipped God in Norse Mythos. "Tor" is by
far the most frequent word remaining from those times in place names etc.
4) Thor is not just God of Thunder, in the Mythos he got his hammer rather late,
after such adventures as the Wall of Asgard. The thunder-part probably
originates from the whetstone he got stuck in his forehead after a
particularly viscious fight with a giant. Thor is God of Strength,
Protection, Fair Play, Rain (partly fertility), Thunder, Laughter.
Footnote.
Protection:
Married couples put the Thor-symbol (the hammer) into bed before their wedding
night.
Seafarers made sacrifice to Thor before voyages, and not always to the seagod
Egir who took pleasure in seastorms.
Odin lives and is still preparing for Rangarok.
