Clobrek

Name: Clobrek
Symbol: A black dagger parted in two halves
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (Evil)

Clobrek, god of Sundered Blades, Broken Weapons and Fumbled Attacks, is a mischievous god who enjoys witnessing the mishaps and embarrassments of unlucky adventurers. He is believed to be the son, or perhaps the consort (or maybe both), of Beshaba, the goddess of misfortune. He is susceptible of manifesting when a player rolls a natural 1 on an attack roll, usually on a result of 1 on a d10: the more dramatic the consequences of a failed roll, the more chances are to attract the attention of this malign deity (subject to DM fiat).

He usually manifests himself in the liking of a small dark skinned gremlin, floating in the air above the battlefield. He has the annoying habit of making snarky comments and shouting insults (or sarcastic encouragements) to the unlucky adventurer while cleaning his nails with a chipped blade. His irritating comments tend to enrage his victims who must make a Saving Throw against Wands or suffer a -1 penalty on attack rounds and Saving Throws for 1d6 rounds. Sometimes, he just enjoys the spectacle; but more than often, he likes to aggravate the consequences of the failed roll. He can be propitiated by sacrificing a bladed weapon and breaking it in front of him.

Even when he does not manifest, a brave soul may invoke his name (requiring a Prayer check) any time he rolls a natural 1 on an attack roll. Due to his malign nature, the results of his invocation are usually unfavorable for the person calling on his attention

Prayer Check Results
Roll = Score The character may re-roll the attack that triggered the invocation.
Roll < Score If the prayer includes propitiation (as above), then any negative effects of the fumble are negated. Otherwise nothing happens.
Roll > Score The effects of the fumble are aggravated (roll 1d12 on the table below). If the prayer included propitiation, then nothing happens.
Natural 20 The effects of the fumble are aggravated (roll 1d12 on the table below). No amount of propitiation can prevent this.
