(This is all I have so far, I'd really like some help and suggestions for this. I've BEEN wanting to make a diety of murder for a while now.)
Ratsakh
The Black Knife, The Murderous One, The Deceiver
Lesser Diety
Symbol: A hand holding a dagger as if it were plunging down.
Home Plane: Carcieri
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Portfolio: Murder, Deceit, Death
Worshipers: Rogues, Assassins, Murderers, Shadowdancers
Cleric Alignments: NE, LE, CE
Domains: Death, Trickery, Evil, Destruction, Passion, Madness, Hatred, Celerity
Psionic Mantles: I don't know how to do psionic mantles
Favored Weapon: Shortsword
The Black Knife usually appears as a tall slim humanoid male dressed in all black clothing that conceals his form with the shadows around him swirling about his feet and rising up over him. Nobody, not even his fellow dieties, are quite sure where exactly he came from but he quickly took up the mantle of murder and became the patron of those who take the lives of others.
Dogma: Having a bit of trouble here, I'm not entirely certain what a dogma is exactly and...it's just a bit confusing to me.
Clergy: Ratsakh's clergy are few and far between, not many are willing to take up the role of cleric for this diety and those that do are oft times considered insane and not to be trusted. His followers are comprised mostly of assassins that give themselves honorary titles rather than actual clerics and priests.
Quests: Most quests for Ratsakh are simply high profile assassinations. Occasionaly Ratsakh may contact the leader of an assassin organization or a cleric to do so for him and will have a special mark to be taken out.
Prayers: Every last breath of a victim of betrayal and murder is a prayer to Ratsakh, he has no formal prayers..
Temples: Ratsakh doesn't have any formal temples though many assassins' guilds consider their headquarters are havens and places of worship for Ratsakh.
Rites: Every murder, every betrayal and lie is a ritual dedicated to Ratsakh. Most worshippers of Ratsakh, when commiting a murder, will perform a grotesque rite where they pray over the intended victim then slit the throat and wrists of the victim with a black knife then plunge the blade into their heart. This supposedly sends the soul of the victim to him.
Heralds and allies:
Spells:
Weapon of the Diety: +1 Paralyzing Shortsword
Deific Bastion: Shadow and Silent Moves
Divine Retribution: Cold, Fortitude
Footsteps of the Divine: +40-foot land speed
Interfaith Blessing: +1 on Damage and Attack rolls
