"Greed is good."
| Gozag Ym Sagoz the Greedy teaches that the world belongs to the rich. Those accepting this principle may exchange their gold for divine assistance. Followers of Gozag do not earn piety; the only way to impress this god is by amassing a fortune, and worshippers may request as much assistance as they can afford. Fortunately, Gozag's worshippers are said to have the touch of gold.
For Gozag, both flesh and food are inferior to wealth, and therefore all corpses are turned into gold piles. These piles of gold may briefly distract nearby monsters. Stalwarts can order immediate help in the form of potions, with prices dictated by the Greedy. Particularly well-off adherents may attract shopkeepers into the dungeon, and even bribe entire branches of the dungeon. Gozag will also duplicate any one non-artifact item for a servant. Gozag likes it when you collect gold. |

Racial Restrictions
Demigods may not worship Gozag Ym Sagoz or any other deity.
Additional Restrictions
Gozag requires a service fee for joining; this starts at 50 gold and rises with the amount of gold generated in the game:
Service fee = 50 + (Generated gold - Generated gold/log10(Generated gold-10))/2
Characters without enough gold receive the message, "Gozag does not accept service from beggars like you!"
Monks without previous gods are exempt from this fee.
Appreciates/Deprecates
Gozag Ym Sagoz is a reasonable businessgod, and does not allow personal feelings to affect its behavior one way or another. All interactions with Gozag Ym Sagoz revolve purely around gold.
Given Abilities
As Gozag Ym Sagoz has no piety system, all of its granted abilities are available upon joining. You will be notified when you have gathered enough gold to use the next given ability.
- Golden touch: Defeated enemies, which would have left a corpse turn to piles of gold (the amount of gold varies, bigger, meaner monsters tend to generate more); these gold piles have a temporary 1 field shine which may distract nearby creatures, causing them to sometimes not act. (Passive)
- Detect Gold and shops: You map the location of gold on the floor in a medium area around you and map the location of shops you set up on your current dungeon level. (Passive)
- Potion Petition: Purchase one set of potion effects.
You immediately get the effects of one of 4 sets of potions: 1 will be a potion of poridge for the ability cost. The other 3 are 2-6 random, different potions. The better and the more effects, the more they cost. Once you activate the ability there is no going back, you have to choose and pay for one of the sets. (100 Gold for the first potion of poridge, +4 per use, any other set costs more)
- Call Merchant: Fund a merchant to set up a new shop somewhere near to areas of the dungeon you have explored.
You choose one out of three different Merchants (based on the name of the shop) (1000 Gold for the first shop, +200 per use, though most shops are much actually cheaper)
- Bribe Branch: Send money to the inhabitants of a branch to turn them temporarily neutral or incite them to join you.
You must be in the branch to use this ability. Adds 3000 gold to this branch's bribe fund. Monsters have a chance based on their HD (higher monsters have a higher chance) to either become peaceful (for some gold from the bribe fund) or become your permanent allies (for more gold from the fund). The chance is rolled when they first notice you. Allied monsters will take from the fund when fighting, but not over time. Attacking one of these pacified monsters will result in turning any pacified monster in sight hostile. (Costs 3000 Gold)
- This power can be used on the Orcish Mines, Elven Halls, Vaults, Iron City of Dis, Gehenna, Cocytus, Tartarus, and Realm of Zot.
- Duplication: One non-artefact item can be duplicated at an altar by praying. (Costs nothing, the weapon must be dropped on the altar)
Punishments
Upon leaving Gozag Ym Sagoz any funded stores close unable to pay their debts without your funds. Any bribed monsters will turn hostile.
- Petition for your drink to fail: When quaffing potions there is a high chance, that you will loose ther turn (but not the potion).
- Turn to gold: When buying from shops there is a chance that your goods will turn into 1 piece of gold.
- Incite: A chance to incite your opponent granting it haste.
- Claim gold: Gozag Ym Sagoz claims about 10% of any gold you pick up (like a reverse Zin).
Strategy
Characters that rely heavily on corpses, such as Necromancers, ghouls, vampires, and trolls, should think twice before choosing to follow Gozag, as you'll be turning everything you kill into gold. For the same reason, Gozag is an appealing choice for spriggans; as herbivores, they have less use for corpses than most species (barring Necromancy or blood sacrifice-accepting gods), and more gold means more access to shop equipment, Gozag's abilities, and (if hunger actually becomes an issue) edible food items.
History
Gozag Ym Sagoz will be added in 0.16.
