Edit: Oh yes, and when doing this method, it behooves you to use several different deities.  As your Ice Assasin gets a full copy of their Salient Divine Abilities, and when they invest in you, you get all their abilities... which means you can have the full set of SDA of the entire pantheon... once you've retrieved enough ranks to use them all.</blockquote>
