Does a character have to be precrowned first before getting crowned?

No.
A pessimist sees a dark tunnel.
An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel.
A realist sees a train.
And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks.

No.



Spoiler
A pre-crowning simply occurs when all the prerequisites for crowning aren't met, but the ones for pre-crowning are.

The requirements for PRE-crowning are (I think):
- The character's current level is at least 8 + (number of artifacts generated * 3)
- The character's alignment is aligned with his/her deity, but NOT of extreme alignment (i.e. C-, N=, L+)
- The character hasn't already been crowned (in which case it becomes a POST-crowning, which is exactly the same as a pre-crowning, except it is after crowning has already occured)

The requirements for a TRUE crowning are (again, I think):
- The character's alignment is of extreme alignment (i.e. C-, N=, L+) and of the deity's alignment, obviously.
- You aren't a fallen champion (in otherwords, you weren't previously crowned and fell from champion status by departing from extreme alignment)

I think that's it, somebody correct me if I'm wrong. And you need to have enough piety, obviously. Note that the generated artifact requirement isn't there for a true crowning. Also keep in mind, if it says "you feel absolutely close" it means you're going to get a true crowning. If it says "you feel extremely close" it means you're only going to get a pre-crowning, due to not having extreme alignment. Sometimes that's what you want, though, like if you're going for an ultra ending.


[EDIT] Sorry if you already knew all that, but I thought it couldn't hurt to add it.

The only error i read in your post was the part about becoming a fallen champion Kirbot.



Spoiler
To fall as as a champion you need to leave your respective deities Alignment totally, not just lose Extreme alignment. So if you crowned Lawful, you could still be a champion at L- or LN

Really? The way I always hear people go on about how easy it is to fall from Champion of Law status, I assumed it was easier than that. Thanks, Armada.
