A more nuanced evil god proposal
Notably, none of his/her abilities will involve killing. Directly or indirectly Instead, he will rely on "spreading lies and wreaking havoc on the souls of mankind" as the below article put it nicely.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil for where i got alot of the material to base this idea on.
Likes:
Abandoning another god. (You keep a fraction of your previous piety when you switch)
Trickery (Maybe associate this with casting hexes)
Ignores:
Prayer
Killing
Sacrifices
Attempting to join the religion unless you are abandoning another god.
Dislikes:
Using any item which was a God Gift.
Abilities:
The ability ideas are up for debate. Theres a few suggestions but it mostly doesnt matter what these are as long as they fit the concept:
Protection based on piety from other God abilities (Smite, etc. Also includes retribution effects due to wrath. I think it would work nicely with the requirement that you incur wrath to worship)
Serpent form
Passive stealth boost
Support hexes
High piety cost ability to turn a hostile demon or angel into a neutral or hostile creature of the opposite "holiness". E.g. turn a Balrug into a Daeva.
