Description

Kolter is the master of trickery and mischief, but he prefers to use his abilities to create new and better forms of tricks to augment the chaos of the world. Kolter appears as a very fat man with a scruffy beard, dirty grey robes and thick spectacles. He often walks among mortals, usually in cities bouncing from tavern to inn. But he has also appeared in the wilds to lonely travelers or merchant caravans. His visits are rarely a blessing. He lives only to spread trouble. For instance, he may steal the gold from a man who is on his way to pay off a debt. Immediately after, he might plant a stolen item on an innocent victim and then led the angry owner of the item to the innocent victim. He has been known to turn potions to wine, to scramble the words of books, put love potions in vats of ale and even make a knight's horse invisible for a day. 

Religion

Priests of this god must always look for the opportunity to pull a new trick or bit of mischief. Kolterian priests are often called upon by the Church to perform minor quests. They are also expected to guide followers spiritually, lead by example and toil endlessly against those who would restrict with laws or in other ways steal the zest from life. And, of course, they work against the agents of Bel-Helizar. Priests are skilled in herbalism and often use weapons that aid in delivering these herbal concoctions (blowguns, darts, etc.).
