The following is to some extent a list of which chaotic effects are possible on level up by patron. It is an excerpt from a helpfile for the next version of composband. This list as it is derives from the same reward tables as the zangband chaos warrior class, preserved in variants such as frogcomposband.
Each patron has a list of 20 reward types, of which the first five are with a single exception all punishments with the potential to kill or cripple a character if they happen at a grossly inopportune moment.
The subsequent 15 reward types for each patron have been listed here without noting duplication or the 'ignore' reward. Additionally the final 5 entries have been seperately listed as gifts, a distinction not reflected in the original chaos warrior code.
In the current development version of composband, all patrons save khorne offer magical devices as gifts, not currently true for other variants. The list reflects this.
This can be used as a quick reference as to what your god might do when he rolled higher than 5 when choosing a reward. For instance, one might note that not every god casts polymorph, and so some chaos warriors can be sure of remaining as the same race the entire game.
Outright punishments usually seen with rolls lower than 5 also make appearances here. This reflects what I believe was an intentional ordering of rewards.
The next release of composband will have a version of the complete helpfile detailing further differences in mechanics between the gods which are not yet implemented.

Punishment of followers has been known to be quite severe, the unhappy victims
being blasted with magical energy and even having priceless artifacts obliterated

through experience, as few have lived to tell the tale. However a scholarly effort
to record the habits of these entities has resulted in the following compendium of
