| Species | Background | Gods |
|---|---|---|
| Octopode | Chaos Knight | Xom and Jiyva |
The Species, Background, and God choices are all mandatory. You must be worshipping one of the gods listed above before entering Lair, Orc, or Depths, unless this isn't possible in which case you must worship them as soon as you can. Don't use faded altars (except in challenges where you can choose any god), and don't do anything to lose your religion unless otherwise specified.
Special Rule
You are allowed to switch gods from Xom to Jiyva at any point. You aren't allowed to leave Xom otherwise, and can't leave Jiyva once you've switched.
While you might be tempted to ditch Xom as soon as possible, bear in mind that following Jiyva early will cause you to miss out on a lot of items.
Also, killing The Royal Jelly will remove all altars to Jiyva, in case you were unaware.
Cosplay conduct points
- Weapons
Don't train ranged attacks, and don't choose Unarmed for your starting weapon. (You can still train Unarmed Combat though.)
- Magic
Don't cast any Conjurations spells.
- Religion
Convert to Jiyva and reach 6* piety with them, and mollify Xom.
Conducts are worth +5 points each, to a maximum of half your score from milestones, rounded down. (So if you achieve 4 milestones (20 points) you can earn up to 10 points from conduct bonuses.) Please indicate which conducts you qualify for when you post your morgue. Small mistakes in following conducts will usually be forgiven.
