I expect the Death Godlike to be hated by many, but also feared. If you are a farmer and a group of armed mercenaries walks in with a Death Godlike as a leader... nobody is going to threaten the protagonist. Complain, maybe. Curse you behind his breath. But open hostility will be fairly rare. (Besides, if you are possibly useful, people won't give a **** what you look like.)
I did have a question of my own though:
If I have a Death Godlike priest, will my companions comment on the choice of my deity? Nothing elaborate, but I would think a Death Godlike that worships Beran, god of death and cycles, or Eothas, the dead god of compassion, would invite a discussion why you chose this specific deity as your patron.
