Obedience: Steal a gold coin or alcoholic drink by force or trickery. Then, while recounting your latest or most impressive act of piracy and blessing Lazarus’ name for all to hear, offer your stolen item to him by throwing it into water at least 4 feet deep. Alternatively, you can recount your most impressive or recent act of piracy to someone unaware of it, although you are free to hide the fact that the act was yours. You then gain a +2 sacred or profane bonus to AC against attacks of opportunity. The type of bonus depends on your alignment—if you’re neither good nor evil, you must choose either sacred or profane the first time you perform your obedience, and this choice can’t be changed.

Lore:  Prior to the Rising Tides, Lazarus was but a minor deity, often frowned upon and banned from worship in most cities. Only pirates and thieves would murmur his name to earn his blessing before some daring act of pillaging, plundering or thievery, but most often, people would rather request Chikabreek’s or Nenrak’s blessing rather than his. It’s much more at sea that people would request his blessing prior to plundering a merchant vessel.

After the Riding Tides, lands started to be swallowed up and disappeared, thus empowering Lazarus a lot, especially since he encouraged people to give up the old ways and turn towards piracy to make a living, encouraging to take whatever people wanted, rather than earn it over time and work.

Note: Antipaladins, Clerics, Inquisitors and Warpriests who worship Lazarus exclusively treat the Cutlass as a finesse weapon.
