Sacrecidal, based off of words such as suicidal, or homocidal, to mean "desire to kill sacred creatures, characters, or destroy sacred objects.

I'm making a character for a gestalt game who wholly hates the the divine. I figured I'd ask around here for any items, spells, etc. that would aid in the destruction of gods, clerics and divine agents, I'm not exactly looking to optimize the character, just need some inspiration.

money is no object for the character, I'm using the wheel of genie tactic to get everything I need. Feats are already chosen, though it's not exactly outside the purveiw of wish to grant feats, is it?

oh, and he's Wiz5/Elemental Savant(negative)1//Rog1/Rng4/Ur Priest1.

I'm going to take it from the 19 views and 0 replies that no one knows of anything?

Heavy use of controlled Advanced Evolved Quell. Or some unique item that allows the use of their Intercession ability (Can't think of any that does off the top of my head)
Or if you're looking for something more effective, give the Ethergaunt a call, I'm sure they'd just LOVE to help:schemes:

I thoroughly agree- Ethergaunts should be happy to help you. They've got doubt bombs, as well as items known as "Divine Barriers", which, IIRC, can block any Divine Spell cast within a 20 ft radius. (There may be a caster level check or something to overcome this.)

Furthermore, there's some utterly delicious stuff in the Book of Vile Darkness, such as the Angelwing Razor.
There's also something, which I believe is called Violet Rain, which serves a similar purpose to the Divine Barrier, but on a much larger scale. Perhaps there is some Arcane way to control this.

Ur Priest is FUN with Mystic Theurge (or True Necromancer)
EDIT: But since you're playing Gestalt, I suppose that wouldn't be allowed. Nevermind that,

ok, I have found that BoVD does indeed have some very delicious stuff... I've loaded up on it through candles of invocation...

now, I looked at the etherguants, why are they so good? their spell immunity doesn't work on divine spells, and I saw nothing that would help except opening their masks or throwing doubt bombs...

Their entire principle of life is the extinction of the gods and those that worship them. There isn't anything that they do that isn't towards the destruction of divine magic and its followers, as well as all who come in contact with them.

The quell have a divine intercession ability that negates divine spells being cast around it. It's at a pretty low level, but I'm sure there are ways to boost it up enough to be useful for you.

which is weird, as they're vulnerable to divine spells, but not arcane spells... but I'm definately going to get something that allows my character to call quells...

Well, that's not entirely true. I'd thought that they simply wanted to Ex-Ter-Min-Ate all sentient life on the material plane. Either way, though, they certainly harbor a special hatred towards deities and the divine.
You see, their flawless logic and atheism has no room for deities, faith, or belief. They have a resistance to arcane magic mainly due to science, but they hate divine magic mainly because it functions based on belief- something which is anathema to their worldview. It is for this same reason that they lack innate immunity to it.
If you catch some Ethergaunts in a good mood, they would be all too happy to help you allow you to aid a tiny bit in their crusade of perfect atheism.

Where are quell from? I think I'd like to look into them.

I wonder if they have anything to do with the Athar faction...

That would be pretty cool
