Pelor continually not backing him up might be grounds for an alignment changes, and a former cleric of Pelor to hunt out other clerics and change their ways!
True story, played a thief named Ben a few years back here on RPoL, and while he was very useful to the party, the one thing he fell short at was his backstabbing.
He would set up elaborate opportunities to backstab, and failed, time and again. I probably exaggerate, but it certainly felt like ALWAYS.
Anyway, we suffered a near TPK, Ben among those who went down, and we assembled a new party to rescue the bodies. When he was raised, I role-played that he had had an epiphany while in the land of the dead, and he switched gods.
Sure enough, his backstabs started to work. Role-play and random dice rolls coincided to make for a brilliant (to me) shift in the game.
