- Chronal Wand (PL 8-9; The chronal wand is a personal chronal gate generator. It
creates a rupture in the fabric of time just large enough for one character to step
through into another time. The gate remains open until the wand itself passes
through, so multiple characters can step through without using their own wands.
The drawback to the chronal wand is that it must be recalibrated after each use
(see Equipment Failure, D20 Future), or entirely new chronal coordinates must be
entered, as though changing the settings. The PL 8 version of the chronal wand
weighs only 1 pound. The PL 9 version has the same purchase DC, with the added
benefit that it stores the last five chronal coordinates automatically, enabling
anyone to thumb through settings without recalibrating the wand.; Weight:1 lb.;
Purchase DC:58.; Restriction:Illegal (+4).)

[Godly Fragments]:None.
[Godly Heritage]:Paternal (Fraz-Urb'Luu (Demon Prince of Deception)).

However, he has forcibly removed their malingering essences from
himself, replaced them w/the assimilated essences of countless
fiends, and forever rewritten his Akashic and genetic codes.
[Godly Realm]:The Black Fortress (uncontested).
Description:The Black Fortress, once Ulrych's Dark Lord's Castle (((standard; and
still possessed of all of the
beneficial abilities thereof))), is the equivalent of 3 (alternate) material planes and
he can freely alter it as
desired (Immediate nonaction).
NB:Ulrych can (((indefinitely, selectively))) relocate The Black Fortress to (((ANY)))
locale(s) (dimensional, etc.
(((even (a) Godly Realm(s) (((RUDE))), Sigil (((SUICIDAL))), and temporal/'versal;
though he avoids doing so
purely out of a sense of self-preservation))); exc./inc. his Innerverse), if/when
desired (selective (Immediate
nonaction)). (i.e. Ulrych could relocate The Black Fortress itself, The Black Fortress's
exterior, or even (a)
doorway(s), etc. in The Black Fortress to Sigil (in the past, etc.) and gain entry to
Sigil (in the past, etc.)
by means of said doorway(s), etc..) This enhancement is (Su) miraculous wish-
based.
(NB:Ulrych (3) and his Artifact Avatars (2,517) all have this enhancement.)
Limitation:The Black Fortress (((normally))) can't exist in more than two base
locales simultaneously. (i.e. The
Black Fortress can't exist in Assiah, The Abyss, and The Ethereal Plane
simultaneously.) However, it does
have three manifestations (i.e. Ulrych, tech., has three Godly Realms, etc..) and
2,517 facsimiles (the
equivalent of 2,517 galaxies (created by (((ALL))) of Ulrych's Artifact Avatars)),
which Ulrych
conjoins into one cosmic megafortress, and each has Convergent, etc., which
can bypass this limitation.
Special:The Black Fortress is an ever-evolving work of art (as per Artist class
features (M.P.M.); any
/all emotions Urych can inspire, esp. Fear, at any/all castle/grounds locales). This
manifests
variably as Ulrych can freely alter it as desired (see pre.).

Armathrax are dense, powerful, semi-bipedal, slenderly muscular, carnivorous,
reptilian creatures w/a deadly retractable, triblade, pincered tail.
1 Bipedal locomotion.
The average armathrax is 6 ft. tall (with a 9 ft. tail) and weighs 6,720 pounds.
Combat
Augmented Critical (Ex):An armathrax's bite, claws, and tail pincer threaten a
critical hit on a natural attack roll of 18-20, dealing triple damage and severing a
random extremity (see the armathrax's Sharpness special attack) on a successful
critical hit.
Frightful Presence (Ex):A armathrax can unsettle foes with its mere presence. The
ability takes effect automatically whenever the armathrax attacks, charges, roars,
or snarls. Creatures within a radius of 30 ft. are subject to the effect if they have
fewer HD than the armathrax. A potentially affected creature that succeeds on a
Will save (DC 14) remains immune to that armathrax's frightful presence for 24
hours. On a failure, creatures with 4 or less HD become panicked for 4d6 rounds
and those with 5 or more HD become shaken for 4d6 rounds. Armathrax ignore the
frightful presence of other armathrax.
Immunities (Ex):An armathrax is immune to disease, fear (inc. Nightmare Fuel (see
previous)), and poison.
Improved Grab (Ex):To use this ability, an armathrax must hit with a bite, claw, tail
pincer, or tail slap attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action
without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it
establishes a hold and can rake (bite or claw attack), pince (tail pincer), or constrict
(tail slap attack).
Increased Damage (Ex):Because of their dense bones and sharp claws, fangs,
horns, scales, spines, and tail pincer; armathrax deal damage as if they were one
size category larger. This ability does stack with the armathrax's virtual size
categories. However, it doesn't enable the armathrax to use attack forms normally
not allowed to a creature of its size.
Natural Cunning (Ex):Armathrax have an innate cunning and logical ability. This
gives them immunity to maze spells, prevents them from ever becoming lost, and
enables them to track enemies. Further, they are never caught flat-footed.
Pounce (Ex):If an armathrax charges or leaps upon a foe during its first round of
combat, it can make a full attack even if it has already taken a move action.
Powerful Charge (Ex):An armathrax deals 8d8+50 points of damage when it makes
a charge.
Semiaquatic (Ex):An armathrax can freely attack, move, and use its abilities while
submerged.
Sharpness (Ex):An armathrax that critically hits with a target with a bite, claw, or
tail pincer attack severs one of the target's extremities. Roll a d10 to determine the
severed extremity:D10 result:1-2:Head, 3-4:Left arm, 5-6:Right arm, 7-8:Left leg,
9-10:Right leg.
Sound Imitation (Ex):An armathrax can mimic any voice or sound it has heard,
anytime it likes. Listeners must succeed on a Will save (DC 14) to detect the ruse.
The save DC is Charisma-based.
Stability (Ex):A armathrax gains a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being
bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying,
riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).
Stunning Roar (Ex):Every 1d4 rounds, an armathrax can loose a sonic attack of
such volume that it stuns all creatures in a 30-ft. spread for 1d4 rounds if they fail
a fortitude saving throw (DC 45). The save DC is Constitution-based.
Trip (Ex):An armathrax that hits with a bite, claw, tail pincer, or tail slap attack can
attempt to trip the opponent as a free action without making a touch attack or
provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react
to trip the armathrax.
Skills:Armathrax have a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks.
Armathrax have a +8 racial bonus on Balance, Climb, Listen, Jump, Search, and
Spot checks. An armathrax can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if
rushed or threatened. An armathrax has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to
perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on
a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while
swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.
*Armathrax also gain Nightmare Fuel and Skill Focus (Intimidate) as Bonus Feats
and use their Strength modifier rather than their Charisma modifier on all
Intimidate skill checks.

Cecaelia are about 4-6 ft. tall and weigh 60-260 lbs. A cecaelian's barbed tentacles
reach 10-15 ft in length.
Combat
An opponent can attack a cecaelia's tentacles with a sunder attempt as if they were
weapons. A cecaelia's tentacles have 3 hit points (1/Hit Dice/Level) each. If a
cecaelia is currently grappling a target with the tentacle that is being attacked, it
usually uses another limb to make its attack of opportunity against the opponent
making the sunder attempt. Severing one of a cecaelia's tentacles deals 1 point
(1/10 Hit Dice/Levels) of damage to the creature. A cecaelia usually withdraws from
combat if it loses four tentacles. The creature regrows severed limbs in 1d10+10
days.
Amphibious (Ex):A cecaelia can breathe both air and water equally.
Constrict (Ex):A cecaelia deals 1d6 points of damage with a successful grapple
check.
Improved Grab (Ex):To use this ability, a cecaelia must hit an opponent of any size
with a tentacle attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action
without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it
establishes a hold and can constrict.
Ink Cloud (Ex):A cecaelia can emit a cloud of jet-black ink 10 ft. high by 10 ft. wide
by 10 ft. long once per minute as a free action. The cloud provides total
concealment, which the cecaelia normally uses to escape a losing fight. All vision
within the cloud is obscured.
Jet (Ex):A cecaelia can jet upward once per round as a full-round action, at a speed
of 200 ft.. It must move in a straight line, but doesn't provoke attacks of
opportunity while jetting.
Skills:A cecaelia can change colors, giving it a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks. A
cecaelia also can squeeze and contort its body, giving it a +10 racial bonus on
Escape Artist checks. A cecaelia has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to
perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on
a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while
swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.

A shadowy, cloaked figure flies towards you out of nowhere. The air surrounding
you becomes bitterly cold, and you feel any happiness you felt before this very
moment drain away.
Dementors are among the most reviled Dark creatures known to wizarding kind.
They are a disturbingly evil group of homicidal monsters, whose sole purpose is to
leech off of the emotions of others. The telltale sign of the presence of Dementors is
a sudden drop of temperature, and a sudden bout of depression.
Dementors are blind. To “view” the world around them, they have the magical
ability to sense the emotions of others, which gives them a form of blindsight. They
feed off of these emotions as well, leaving a hollow void in the mind of their prey.
Creatures that are drained completely of emotion are usually drained of their very
souls. People killed in such a matter are indistinguishable from comatose patients in
the deepest vegetative state possible.
Like Threstrals, Dementors naturally have a selective invisibility power; Those who
cannot perform magic cannot view a Dementor, even if they can be affected by
them. It is also worth noting that Dementors do not mate like most creatures.
Instead, they grow like fungus in areas saturated with dark magic.
Combat
Dementors are deadly opponents, as their very presence causes harm to those
around them. Few wizards can successfully harm them, let alone kill them. The best
way to defend oneself from Dementors is to use the patronus charm.
Aura of Depression (Su): All creatures within 30 ft. of a Dementor are deeply
affected by a seemingly endless depression. After spending a full round in this aura,
all creatures must make a Will save (DC 16), or be shaken for 1d4 rounds. Starting
immediately after this time, he must make a Fortitude save (DC 16), or gain one
negative level. The next round after this negative level bestowal, the creature must
make another fortitude save (DC 16), or fall unconscious. All these saves are
Wisdom-based. If a character succeeds on at least two of these saves, they cannot
be affected by the Dementor’s aura of depression for another 24 hours.
Blindsight (Su): This ability works like the common ability, except it is supernatural
in origin. If a creature finds a way to mask his emotions, the Dementor cannot see
him/her. A Dementor hit by the *patronus charm loses this ability for 1d6 rounds,
effectively blinding it.; NB:*Good hope, etc. also have this effect.
Dementor’s Kiss (Su): this ability is only usable against a helpless target. As a full
round action, the Dementor may suck the soul of a living creature out of its body.
This action is called a “kiss.” Once a kiss attempt has started, the target must make
a Fort save (DC 16), or die. Such a target cannot be resurrected by any means until
the Dementor who performed the kiss has been destroyed. The save DC is Wisdom-
based.

Demaraxas are reptilian creatures that feed upon magical or psionic crystals, such
as ioun stones, dorjes, and gems of seeing. They travel alone or in small groups,
roaming the planes in an endless search for magical crystals. Its movements are
always slow and deliberate.
Demaraxes grow crystals in their hide as a side effect of their diet, causing their
skins to become thicker and more crystal-studded as they age. A few of these
crystals are valuable gemstones, making a demarax's hide worth 500 to 1,500 gp
(typically 100 gp per Hit Dice).
Demaraxas have perfect memories and are unable to lie, making them excellent
sources of information if a traveler can hold one's attention long enough.
Legends claim that demaraxes were created by lawful deities to help control the
chaos spread by magical crystals throughout the planes. The fact that demaraxes
are always lawful and are usually found on lawfully-aligned planes seems to support
these tales.
A typical demarax is 6 feet long (not including a 4 foot tail) and weighs about 450
pounds. An ancient demarax will be heavier than a youngster of the same size,
because it has a stonier hide. The magical energies it consumes can prolong a
demarax's lifespan to over 1,000 years. Its movements are always slow and
deliberate.
COMBAT
A demarax is a generally inoffensive creature, and doesn’t go out of its way to start
a fight unless provoked or it senses a magical crystal on someone’s person. Since
its flesh is inedible and its gem-covered hide would deter even the most furious of
predators, a demarax has no natural enemies. If a demarax is provoked or
attacked, it defends itself by lashing out with its powerful tail.
Attract Crystal (Su): As a swift action, a demarax can attract a single object made
of magical crystal, such as an eye of charming, ioun stone or dorje. This telekinetic
power has a range of 100 ft. and can move an object up to 25 pounds in weight at
a speed of 20 feet per round, either across the ground or through the air. A
creature can negate this effect on an object in their possession with a successful DC
12 Will save or by spell resistance (a demarax's attract crystal power has a caster
level equal to its HD for checks to overcome spell resistance). Once the crystal is
within the demarax's reach, the demarax can swallow the crystal the next round as
a swift action. A swallowed crystal will be digested (and unrecoverable) after 1 full
round. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Crystal Storm (Su): Once per day, a demarax can unleash a 20-foot burst of
whirling crystals. Any creature within the burst must make a DC 15 Reflex save or
be struck by a crystal shard. A struck creature is afflicted by one of the effects at
random from the table below for 2d4 rounds:
1 - dazzled (–1 penalty on attack rolls, Search checks, and Spot checks)
2 - fascinated (takes no actions other than to pay attention to the fascinating
effect)
3 - color spray (as the color spray spell)
4 - sickened
5 - confused (may act, may not, may flee, may attack nearby creatures)
6 - baleful displacement (50% miss chance when attacking opponents)
A demarax uses this attack only as a last resort, since it uses up the creature's
supply of nutrition. The demarax takes 2d10 points of nonlethal damage per hour
until it feeds on a crystal. If a demarax falls unconscious from this nonlethal
damage, it must make a Constitution check every minute (DC 10 + 1 per minute)
or drop to -1 hit points and start dying. It then loses 1 hit point per minute until it
dies or is fed a crystal (which immediately stabilizes it). Since this nonlethal
damage is caused by starvation, it cannot be restored until the demarax gets food
(see the Starvation and Thirst rules). The save DC is Constitution-based.
Gemsense (Su): A demarax can sense the location of any magical crystal or jewel
within 200 feet, including the strength and "flavor" of the gem's magic. This works
like a combination of blindsight and arcane sight that only senses enchanted gems.
The detection range is doubled for a strong aura, tripled for an overwhelming aura.
Magic Missiles (Su): Three times a day, a demarax can fire three energy darts from
its eyes with the same effects as a magic missile spell (caster level 5th).
Skills: *A demarax has a +8 racial bonus on Search, Survival and Spot checks to
locate gems and crystals. A Demarax can track magical gems and crystals using its
Gemsense and scent abilities, it has a +8 racial bonus on its Survival checks to
track magical gems.

Level Adjustment: –
Scattered throughout the Depths Below exist the walking horrors known as the
night hags. However, in the Grey Wastes of Despair are the creatures that are their
progenitors through forced (and invariably lethal) matings with captured males.
These progenitors are known as the gloom hags. Gloom hags are some of the few
beings that willingly live in the Grey Wastes of Despair, as although a large
proportion of their number are capable of reaching other planes, they find other
planes to be insufficiently evil to sustain them.
In terms of their status in the Grey Wastes, gloom hags are rarely found alone, and
instead gather together in coveys for the purposes of inflicting evil and pain upon
creation, or to defend themselves against others of their kind since all of them,
without exception, would betray each other without hesitation if they were
convinced it would be to their benefit to do so. Additionally, many gloom hags have
devised special potions that allow them to transform the recently dead into larvae,
which they either use as spell components, sell to other factions in the Grey Wastes
(particularly daemons) in exchange for other spell components.
The origins of gloom hags within the Grey Wastes of Despair, like many things
about the other greater beings of pure evil, are poorly known at best. Certain texts
speak of an ancient relationship between them and the daemons, and that both of
them may have in the most ancient times been far more closely connected than
they are currently. The gloom hags themselves speak of a power that may have
even birthed them. She is known by various names, but the one which is most
familiar outside of the whispers and curses in which they speak of her is as The Hag
Queen, the Dread Crone.
A gloom hag is approximately 7 ft. tall, but walks so completely hunched over in
her true form that she appear to be 1-2 ft. shorter, although this does not impede
their movement. They have pasty grey skin covered with warts and liver-spots, and
a long, downward-hooked nose. Their hands and fingers are slightly longer than
normal for a human, and are tipped with extremely sharp and vicious black talons,
and inside their mouths are sharp and interlocking fangs. Because of their
appearance, from a distance people often assume that they are far less dangerous
than they actually are; this is quite typically a lethal assumption on their part.
Combat
Gloom Hags are cunning and dreadful opponents, and once they are convinced that
they can defeat an opponent, they will often prolong their agony by using spells to
harry and incapacitate victims days before actually putting them out of their initial
misery. Typically they will trick their victims into confronting them directly so as to
suffer the effects of their gaze, and if paid to target evil victims, they will often
polymorph themselves into a semblance of a good-aligned creature in order to trick
them into using evil spells for the purposes of healing themselves.
Boon of the Wastes (Ex): Gloom hags are healed by any spells cast within 10 ft. of
them that has the [Evil] descriptor, healing 2 points of damage for each level of the
spell cast at them. Gloom hags, however, may not benefit from Evil spells cast at
them from other members of their kind.
At the same time, gloom hags take double damage from any spell with the [Good]
descriptor, and have a permanent –4 penalty to any saving throw against any
good-aligned spell that may result in their banishment (should one be found away
from the Grey Wastes of Despair) or their immediate death (such as a holy word).
Gloom hags are additionally immune to the entrapping properties of the Grey
Wastes.
Daunting Gaze (Su): All living things which meet the gaze of a Gloom Hag risk
having their will destroyed by seeing the pure, malign, evil lurking within them. As
a result, they must make a Will save DC 21 or else take a –4 penalty to any Will or
morale-based saving throw. Penalties acquired through meeting the gaze of a
Gloom Hag are cumulative, although if a being manages to successfully save
against a particular hag’s gaze, they are immune to that particular hag’s power for
thirteen weeks. Unfortunately for such victims, Gloom Hags almost always travel in
groups. Protection from evil or remove curse will protect individuals from the power
of a Gloom Hag’s gaze.
Night Terrors (Su): Should a Gloom Hag successfully manage to put a mortal male
humanoid to sleep, or deceive him into thinking that she is a normal woman, she
can choose to couple with him with a 20% chance of becoming pregnant as a
result. Over the course of the next 13 weeks, the male that they have coupled with
must make a Fort save DC 26 or else take 1d4 points of ability damage to all of
their scores once a week. Should they fail all of their saves and survive until the
end of the 13 week period, then they must make a final Fort save DC 26 or else
die, as at that exact moment, the gloom hag that he coupled with gives birth to a
night hag of normal HD. If a victim successfully saves three times against a gloom
hag’s Night Terrors then they take no further ability damage; victims may also be
cured outright by either killing the gloom hag responsible or by having remove
curse cast upon them at a spellcaster level equivalent or higher than the gloom
hag’s hit die.
Spell-like Abilities (Sp): At will: curse of the putrid husk, desecrate, magic missile,
polymorph (self only), ray of enfeeblement, shrivelling, sleep, wither limb. 3/day:
blasphemy, nightmares, vile lance. 1/day: bestow greater curse, phantasmal killer.
Cast at 16th level. Saving throws against a Gloom Hag’s spell-like abilities are DC
15 + spell level. The saving throw DC’s are Charisma-based. Gloom Hags
additionally constantly detect good, detect evil, detect chaos, detect law, and detect
magic as Sorcerers of equivalent hit die.
Spells (Sp): A Gloom Hag casts spells as a 16th level Sorcerer. Although the origins
of their magical prowess are poorly understood at best, Gloom Hags also have the
ability to choose Druidic spells as part of their Sorcerer spell selections.

Hoary hunters are malevolent fey that appear on frosty, moonlit nights to hunt
travelers for sport, selecting their prey, chasing them down, and dragging them into
the night realm of the Unseelie Court to be imprisoned forever. Though difficult to
see because of its mount's magical breath, a hoary hunter appears as a gaunt man
or elf, but with sharp, exaggerated features that are always unsettling to behold.
Everything about the hunter is white, from the wild mane of hair atop its head to
the pearly, luminescent buttons on its coat. At midnight, when the temperature is
below freezing, and any sort of moon shines upon the frozen ground, the hunter
appears initially as a roiling fog accompanied by echoing hoof beats. Dismounted
and out in the open, a hoary hunter seems to be some ghostly apparition in the
moonlight, but it is not undead.
A hoary hunter rides a magnificent flying horse, a snowy steed whose breath
billows in great clouds of frosty vapors and whose blue eyes glow coldly in the
darkness. It is often said that one who is selected as prey by a hoary hunter first
knows his doom from the sound of hoofbeats and the starry glow of those eyes
coming toward him through the mists.
Combat
The hoary hunter prefers to charge its prey while upon horseback, slashing with its
+8 disarming icy burst longsword of binding as it rides by. A critical hit (or the blow
that would kill or render a foe unconscious) from this blade doesn't wound the
hunter’s prey. Instead, the victim is bodily transported as per a soul binding spell
heightened to 16th level (DC 34) into a brilliant white diamond at the end of the
sword’s hilt. The hunter then returns to its realm, taking its prisoner with it to be
enslaved.
Rarely does a hoary hunter encounter those formidable enough to challenge it, but
on those occasions, it uses its spell-like abilities to overwhelm such foes, making it
easier to capture them. If a chosen victim does manage to escape the hunter for 1
hour, or succeeds in defeating the fey creature, the hunt is not over. A hoary
hunter cannot be killed while on the hunt (see below). It returns on the very next
night that is both cold and moonlit, with a second hunter to aid it, and attempts
again to capture this victim. If it fails again, this pattern is repeated each suitable
night until either the prisoner is taken or five such nights pass. If a victim escapes
all five nights, a hoary hunter never again troubles him.
Moving to a warmer locale only delays the inevitable. The hoary hunter bides its
time, waiting years if it must, only to appear again when the night conditions are
right. Shifting to a different plane of existence doesn't stop the hunt; a hunter
follows its prey to any realm in the multiverse during the hour, and it and its
companions can appear on any plane to begin the hunt anew so long as there is
moonlight and freezing temperatures.
A hoary hunter’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as
epic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Spell-Like Abilities:At will-discern location, fog cloud, hold monster, plane shift, true
strike; 3/day-dimensional anchor, dominate monster, greater dispel magic; 1/day-
contingent recall and resurrection (Contingent recall and resurrection is a variation
on an epic spell (contingent resurrection). When slain, the hoary hunter is actually
transported, with its mount, back to the fey realm, where it is resurrected. The only
way to truly slay the hoary hunter is to defeat it in its home realm after this epic
spell has been exhausted for the day.), Mordenkainen's disjunction. Caster level

This creature is tall and beautiful of countenance with large crystalline white wings,
radiant silver skin and glowing sapphire eyes. Suddenly, the glowing golden halo
above the angelic figure’s head blazes with crimson light and its visage takes on an
altogether sinister yet still magnificent appearance.
Mahalat are a race of celestial doppelgangers that were created eons ago by a
malevolent entity (some say an old one or elder one) to corrupt and overthrow
good-aligned religions and murder any angel they meet.
Mahalat often serve as the figureheads for various fanatical cults, and draw their
ranks from the disaffected or easily gulled followers of good deities. They delight in
slowly destabilizing the religion from within until the church fragments into warring
factions.
Angels detest mahalat more than almost any other creature and seek their
destruction wherever they are located. Elohim in particular hate mahalat with a
passion and battles between them are often fierce, long and bloody affairs.
In their natural form mahalat stand 12 feet tall and weigh just over 3,000 pounds.
Combat
As a race of deceivers, mahalat steer clear of combat if they can possibly help it,
preferring that their minions handle any foes. This is not because mahalat are
cowardly, but rather to maintain the lies they have so carefully forged and to see
good creatures throw away their lives on its behalf. When forced into combat
mahalat use their spell-like abilities or halo of vengeance before wading into
melee.
A mahalat’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields are treated as evil-
aligned and epic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Divine Parody (Su): A Mahalat has the ability to disguise itself as an angel of the
third choir, magically altering its form to resemble a planetar, solar, astral, movanic
or monadic deva. This ability is similar to the polymorph spell, but has an unlimited
duration and the mahalat gains all the extraordinary, spell-like and supernatural
abilities of the chosen angel.
While using its divine parody ability, a mahalat registers as good to all forms of
alignment detection. True seeing and similar magics cannot penetrate the mahalat’s
deception unless used by a creature of higher divine rank that the creature
(typically divine rank 5 and above).
* Mahalat receive a +20 Disguise modifier when using their divine parody ability.
Divine Traits: Mahalat are effectively quasi-deities and as such receive a +4 divine
bonus to armor class, attack rolls, checks (ability checks, caster level checks, skill
checks, turning checks); difficulty class (for any special abilities, spell-like abilities,
spells); initiative, saving throws and spell resistance.
Halo of Vengeance (Su): As a standard action, a mahalat can use the halo that
hangs above its head as a weapon, targeting a single foe of up to Gargantuan size
within 1 mile. The halo leaves the mahalat’s head and streaks unerringly towards
the target, expanding to the appropriate size then contracting around their neck.
The target must make a DC 58 Reflex save to avoid the halo. If the target fails it
takes 15d6 points of divine fire damage per round. In addition, the target begins
suffocating and must immediately make a DC 25 Constitution check to avoid falling
unconscious. The DC increases by +2 each round after the first and any target that
falls unconscious is slain the next round regardless of its hit point total. The target
cannot speak while being strangled and must make a Concentration check to cast
any non-verbal spells or use any spell-like abilities. The halo continues to strangle
the target until it is dead or freed.
The halo remains around the target’s neck until they are dead, the mahalat recalls
it (a free action) or the target somehow removes it. While the halo cannot be
physically removed or destroyed, a miracle or wish can free the victim, as can a
spell such as gaseous form. As soon as the victim moves out of sight of the mahalat
for more than a single round, the halo fades and reappears around the mahalat’s
head.
A mahalat can only target one creature at a time with this ability and creatures that
lack heads (such as oozes and some aberrations or outsiders) are immune.
Constructs, elementals, plants, undead, creatures with multiple heads, and
creature’s that don’t breathe cannot be suffocated by the halo, but still take divine
fire damage.
Heavenly Insight (Su): A mahalat’s unique position in the cosmos gives it an insight
bonus to its armor class, attack rolls, damage rolls and saving throws equal to its
Wisdom modifier.
Regeneration (Su): Mahalat take normal damage from weapons that are both epic
and good, and from spells and effects with the good descriptor.
Spell-like Abilities: At will – blade barrier (DC 33), charm monster (DC 31),
desecrate, detect evil, detect good, detect magic, displacement, greater dispel
magic, greater invisibility, major image (DC 31), mind blank, unholy blight (DC 31),
tongues; 3/day – blasphemy, dominate monster (DC 36), horrid wilting (DC 35),
mirage arcana (DC 32); 1/day – damnation (DC 37), storm of vengeance (DC 37).
Caster Level 48th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
Vorpal Wings (Su): A mahalat’s wings are supernaturally sharp and can sever a
creature’s head on a critical hit.

This appears as a horse in the final stages of starvation, each bone plainly seen
through dark leathery skin stretched so tightly that it appears as if it were dipped in
tar. Its head in particular is as a skull and bears a resemblance to a saurian or
dragon, complete with a snout of sharp predator's teeth. It has shining white eyes
and a thick black mane that hangs long from its neck. From its back sprouts an
enormous pair of membranous bat wings though they fold so tightly to the body
they are not easily noticed.
Despite their ominous appearance, thestrals are not commonly seen. They are
creatures with strong ties to death, though are not of themselves often killers.
Thus, they may only be seen by those who know death intimately. They tend to be
scavengers, feeding off the remains of the dead, though are also known to have a
taste for birds, especially those in their airspace. They do not attack larger
creatures however unless provoked or threatened.
Thestrals weigh only around 800 lbs., though possess a grim strength that belies
their appearance. They speak only their own language though can be taught to
understand others.
Combat
Charnal Scent (Ex): A thestral can detect fresh blood or a corpse at twice the range
of its normal scent.
Cloak of Death (Su): A thestral may only be seen by one who has witnessed the
death of a loved one. To all others they are invisible as the spell. This ability is
constant, allowing a thestral to remain invisible even when attacking. This ability is
inherent and not subject to the invisibility purge spell.
Disease (Ex): Red ache—bite, Fortitude DC 16, incubation period 1d3 days, damage
1d6 Strength. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Grim Vitality (Ex): A thestral has a +4 resistance to disease, poison, and death
affects.
Training a thestral
A thestral requires training before it can bear a rider in combat. Training a thestral
requires you to be able to see it, six weeks of work, and a DC 25 Handle Animal
check. Riding a thestral requires an exotic saddle. A thestral can fight while carrying
a rider, but the rider cannot also attack unless he or she succeeds on a Ride check.
Thestral young are worth 3,500 GP each. Professional trainers charge 1,500 GP to
rear or train a thestral.
Carrying Capacity: A light load for a thestral is up to 258 pounds; a medium load,
259–519 pounds; and a heavy load, 520–780 pounds. A thestral can drag 3,900
pounds.

The power of the daemons and the first coven are both well-known. However, even
more ancient records hint as to the existence of yet another hidden truth; that
there was, and still is, a third aspect of pure evil.
Allegedly, when pure evil came into existence with one transcendent act of itself,
liberated of law and chaos as strongly as it was of good, it immediately destroyed
itself by bringing forth beings with which to better spread itself like a plague. Some
of the foremost of these beings were the Maladae, and some of the Maladae in turn
dedicated themselves to the acts and symptoms of pure evil, creating daemons to
help spread themselves, while others among the Maladae instead focused on the
words of pure evil, claiming to invent Dark Speech itself and becoming the first
coven.
Yet a third group of these primordial beings dedicated to plaguing existence were
representations of the thoughts and feelings of pure evil itself. As a thought is
formless, existing only through the minds of others, so were these beings also
formless. Terrors to the earliest cultures of the Mortal Coil, once the nature of the
threat that they represented was discerned these creatures were eventually named
the anathema.
It is unknown how long the anathema lurked in the very earliest wastes that would
later be called Gehenna, or for that matter, what these wastes even looked like.
However, what is far better known is how these creatures came to discover and
despoil the Mortal Coil. Members of the earliest mortal cultures, experimenting with
the first spells and powers capable of planeshifting, reached Gehenna and were
exposed to the anathema. The anathema quickly realized not only that their
presence brought suffering to the mortals that beheld them, but also that the
suffering that they inflicted was a source of nourishment to them and that they
could invade mortals for the purposes of feasting upon the pain that they caused
with such ease.
After this initial discovery, dozens of anathema descended upon The Mortal Coil,
with each Anathema taking a unique approach to spreading evil. Some preferred to
hunt down mortal heroes through trickery and then feign their own defeat so they
could possess the hero. In this manner mortals became inadvertent tools of the
anathema for the slow spread of their poison into the fertile soil of mortal minds.
Still others took a differing approach, and instead preferred to start out with beings
that had already taken tentative steps towards discovering the power of true evil
from the anathema’s perspective, and ‘pushed’ them mentally until they spawned
cults of atrocity and nihilism that even the first evil gods that mortals worshipped
looked upon with horror. Others still maligned the early forces of good through
various means, impersonating representatives of the earliest cosmic entities and
deities that were good, and in the process sowing distrust against the concept of
good itself.
More alarming than their behavior was their success; while the anathema were
even more incapable of unity than the daemons that came after them, the
burgeoning Anathema-cults sent millions of souls, condemned through their own
fears and predilections for engaging in the behaviors that the Anathema
‘encouraged’ through word and spell, into the wastes of Gehenna to the point where
the landscape itself caught on fire with the Flames of Loss, eternally self-
incinerating as a result of the sadism of the Anathema towards mortals incarnated,
and the undying fury that the deluded and wrathful petitioners of the Anathema felt
as a result of their own eternal torment.
As anathema-sponsored death cults became more common upon the Mortal Coil,
their actions attracted greater interest from the nascent forces of Balance, as well
as those of good. If anything, their actions were not a hindrance to the anathema
at first, but almost a promotion for them as often an evil openly opposed becomes
an evil described. The real, and ultimately lethal, threat to the open power of the
anathema came from the rising power of the daemons created by the maladae.
While the anathema were individually powerful, their own self-destructive natures
ensured that comparatively few petitioners actually came to their own lands within
Gehenna. The daemons wished to expand to Gehenna under the leadership of the
Architect of the Tower Arcane, in the process hoping to completely dominate pure
evil for themselves. As a result, war between the daemons and the anathema was
inevitable...and the daemons, ultimately won the war. The result is that Mungoth
itself, once as volcanic a layer as Khalas or Chamada, was extinguished, and the
Flames of Loss used to forge the foundations of Daemonic power in Gehenna
through the Tower Arcane. This act of destruction, in turn, fueled the final conquest
of Gehenna as a whole, as the anathema, instead of facing an army of daemons
that returned to the Grey Wastes when slain, instead found themselves facing an
army that respawned itself endlessly within their home territory.
Weakened through the destruction of their base in the Realms Beyond, it was at
this point that the efforts of the Agents of Balance and Bastions of Holiness came to
full bear against the anathema. What remaining cults of anathema existed were
destroyed at least for a time. However, the anathema were never completely
eliminated, and through devious means, they managed to re-invent themselves
using the very tools and forms of their own destroyers.
Many mortal religions that arose after the destruction of the Anathema carried
within them ideas...archetypes of a time in which all things would end in despair
and pointless, futile, destruction. From these religions and this iconography, four of
the most devious anathema became the incarnations of impending doom. Their
original names, as well as their original forms lost, they came to be known as
Death, Famine, Pestilence, and War. They used the intellectual structures of their
own enemies in order to better describe a reality consisting of nothing but
unending, disastrous suffering-and then proceeded to do their utmost to translate it
into reality-a task that they were, unfortunately for hundreds of worlds within the
Mortal Coil, quite successful at.
A second group of the anathema also discerned a pathway by which they could
achieve reformation despite the status quo that evolved after the conquest of
Gehenna by the Daemons. While all anathema, to some extent, encouraged self-
destructive behavior, the seven most competent Anathema at encouraging these
acts reinvented themselves along similar lines, becoming known as the Sinns.
Anathema are notorious for their ability to appear as practically anything and
everything else, even not taking into account their ability to possess other beings.
However, their true form is generally considered to be a cloud of black, droning,
incorporeal motes similar to a swarm of insects ten ft. tall and four ft. wide,
manifesting extensions of itself as well vague mockeries of faces whenever they
think that doing so will inspire more terror in their precisely chosen victims. In their
true form, anathema communicate through telepathy, quietly whispering thoughts
of self-annihilation, inevitable torment, and pointless suffering to all beings
unfortunate enough to be within range of them.
Face of Evil (Su): To gaze upon an anathema in it’s true form is to gaze upon the
Face of Evil, and to see one of the earliest creatures that have boiled forth from the
Depths Below in order to corrupt the minds and souls of mortals. As a result, all
beings that see anathema in their true form must make a Will save 38 or else be
affected in a manner analogous to if they had been attacked by a spell of the
anathema’s choosing. This spell need not be one that the anathema in question
could choose as a spell-like ability, but it must be 8th level or lower, and it is
treated as cast at the anathema’s Hit Die. This choice is unique to each anathema
and cannot be changed, as it is a reflection of each anathema’s slightly unique form
of vileness. Scrying or similar abilities upon an Anathema provides no protection,
but beings that view an Anathema through such indirect means receive a +4 bonus
on the saving throw in order to avoid being affected.
The touch of the anathema inflicts a similar penalty against it’s victims additionally,
damaging their sanity as visions of the Anathema’s past and future torments upon
mortals are forced into it’s mind. As a result, beings touched by the Anathema must
make a Will save DC 38 or else take 1d8 Wisdom damage. This is a melee touch
attack and the saving throw DC is Charisma-based.
Feast of Anguish (Ex): Each Anathema has the ability to benefit from the
destructive behaviors and suffering that it inspires in others. For every two living
individuals that an Anathema harms or deludes into behaving in a destructive
manner within a 500-foot radius of itself, an anathema receives a +1 bonus to
saving throws, caster level, skill level, and attack rolls. The particular anguish that
each anathema feasts upon is unique to each anathema, with some of the better
known anathema having made a specialty out of self-mutilation and other horrific
behaviors. An anathema may only empower itself in this manner with maximal
bonus up to half of it’s HD or +18, whichever is lower, and benefits acquired in this
manner last for an hour.
Profane Invasion (Ex): All anathema may possess mortals. For an anathema to do
so is a horrifying and painful violation of the mind, body, and spirit of it’s victim
that sends them into convulsions for six rounds, affecting them as the spell wrack.
Each round an anathema attempts to possess a mortal, their victim must make a
Will save DC 36, and should a victim make three successive saves in a row then
they have shaken off the attempt, and that anathema may not attempt to possess
that same individual for eight days.
Should the anathema successfully possess it’s victim, then the anathema
immediately modifies their memories in order to delete any mental evidence of the
event. From that moment forwards, a victim of an anathema’s Profane Invasion
becomes essentially a fusion of the anathema and their target. The anathema gains
all access to the memories, spells, and spell-like abilities of it’s victims and is
capable of seeing through all senses that they possess. Furthermore, the victim
becomes physically and spiritually modified through the presence of the anathema,
gaining one point of Dexterity and Constitution per day until it is a blending of it’s
own abilities and the Anathema’s, as well as it’s body acquiring the immunities of
the anathema. An anathema while possessing a mortal may use it’s spell-like
abilities through the mortal, and also retains the ability to use the Feast of Anguish.
The anathema, however, is immediately absorbed into the ground of the exact
location where it possessed the mortal, and is incapable of moving from that
location for as long as the possession lasts. An anathema which chooses to end it’s
possession of a host may do so as a full-round action. Accomplishing this drags the
aspect of the anathema that has possessed the mortal back to the anathema, and
allows the anathema to emerge from the ground in order to find further targets.
Anathema are notoriously difficult to detect while they are contained within a host,
and many of the normal defenses against evil beings are ineffective against them
until the host detects as Neutral Evil. Anathema-possessed beings may enter areas
blocked by magic circle against evil and protection from evil, and cannot be
detected through detect evil spells. Even worse, mortals possessed by anathema
may freely cross into and out of The Mortal Coil.
Each week that a victim is possessed, more of their personality is subsumed by that
of the anathema, until eventually there is nothing left but the anathema within their
body, acquiring all of their knowledge even while there is practically nothing left of
the original mortal to restore. While a restoration spell followed by an atonement to
counter the evil deeds done by the possessed mortal is sufficient to repair the
damage done to their minds and souls initially, each week after the initial
possession the probability of such spells repairing the damage done decreases by
10%. After this period, even if the Anathema is somehow forced out of the mortal’s
body without killing them their mind and soul have been so corrupted by the
anathema’s deranged thoughts that they have become Neutral Evil and openly
detect as such, and are condemned to suffer in Gehenna after death.
Furthermore, to permanently eliminate an anathema from the Mortal Coil that has
seized a host is extremely difficult. Killing a victim possessed by an anathema acts
as a form of Forbidden Magic which brings the anathema into The Mortal Coil as if it
was called. If an anathema can successfully be defeated in such circumstances, it
will be banished to Gehenna as described earlier, although even this does not
permanently destroy it but rather means that there will be only a temporary respite
at best from the anathema’s evil while it reforms and plots vengeance. For this
reason, whenever anathema are encountered, a more common tactic against them
is imprisonment by mortals, giving rise to legends of beings of incredible horror
which are bound into seals or symbols.

A tall spindly creature stands before you, withered and scarred by disease. Its
limbs are grossly misshapen and disproportionate to all but it's head. It's head,
aside from the horns, is reminiscent of the skull of a horse with potch marked skin
stretched far too tight to its discolored bone. It's warped body oozes pus as glossy
eyes stare out at you with dark, secret, malice.
In the oldest of all libraries, in the deepest cave, behind the best guarded doors,
lies an ancient tome called the “Book of Vile Darkness”. This foul document speaks
in one of its pages of the creation of the universe, and the first beings who stepped
out of the creation chaos. This book mentions a name for these beings, which has
given pause to even the demonlords and the lords of the nine: the Baernadaemons.
From the shadows of creation, the Baern, the first and primal of all evil fiends
stepped out of hiding. This ancient race could be considered the root of all evil in
the multiverse. They created the first demons and devils, forming the daemon as
their agents. The Baern perverted life in thousand places and built the foundation of
all foul magic. Then they disappeared.
No one really knows if these mythic and enigmatic creatures still exist today or
even if they really ever existed. If they still exist, than it would be difficult to face
one of these creatures and see through their lies and deceptions which took them
aeons to weave. Sometimes it is rumored, that the greatest heroes of light and
darkness are nothing but pawns of these ancient fiends.
Though these creatures are technically a daemon, they have not much in common
with their lesser children – consider it the difference between a human and a god.
The Baern stand outside the hierarchy of the common daemon, but no daemon
would try to harm a Baern or disobey one of its “wishes”.
Combat
Baern seldom enter combat, but when one feels the need to cause carnage it does
so in a savage manner, blending hate, torture, and murder into a horrifying art
form that would give pause to even Powers of evil. Baern savor death caused
through their own hand, thusly the Baernaloth will never use magic or even normal
items.
Blessed by the First (Su): A Baern applies its Charisma modifier as an insight bonus
to its armor class and all saving throws.
Die When I Say (Su): At will a Baern may heal all damage caused to a target by its
claw or bite attacks. There is no range to this attack, but the target must be within
sight. Additionally it may cause 4 points of temporary dexterity damage. There is
no save against this ability, but a bearnadaemon may not heal less than all damage
caused by its claws or bite, and this ability, as well as the dexterity damage, has no
affect against a target that has taken no damage from the Baern's claw or bite
attacks.
Hidden (Su): A Baern can assume the shape of any Small, Medium, or Large
humanoid. In humanoid form, the Baern loses his natural attacks. A Baern can
remain in his humanoid form until it chooses to assume a new one. A change in
form cannot be dispelled, but a Baern reverts to its natural form when killed. A true
seeing spell or ability reveals its natural form.
Never Ending Pain (Su): Three times per day a Baern may cause wounds that it has
created on one victim within sight to be revisited with even greater corruption. The
Baern may repeat any damage caused by its claw or bite attacks from one round,
causing the wounds to tear open agonizingly and implanting their victim with some
foul magic. A Baern may apply addiction*, loves pain*, morality undone*,
pestilence*, or plague of nightmares* on their chosen victim, at a caster level equal
to their hit dice, when utilizing this ability. Thus, if a Baern inflicts 14 points of
damage with a claw attack, 16 with another, and 20 points with its bite attack all in
the same round to the same target, it may later use this ability to cause fifty points
of damage and loves pain to that same target. This ability is useable as a free
action. While the target is not allowed to save against the damage, they may
attempt fortitude save at a DC of 44 to resist the secondary affect.
Regeneration (Ex): Baern take normal damage from good, epic cold iron weapons
or weapons tempered with the blood of a good deity.
Root Of All Evil (Ex): No Baern is like another, and nearly all of them share one or
more features with their offspring. After only a week of vile meditation and self-
experimentation a Baern may grant itself one special attack or special quality of
another fiend of lesser or non-divine status, with the exception of spell-like abilities.
Thusly a Baern could grant itself: a barbazu's diseased beard, a balor's aura of
flame, or the draining kiss of a succubus.
A Baern cannot change this ability this ability once chosen, but may gain an
additional special attack or special quality for every three hit dice it possess above
forty-two. Save DC's and caster level is based upon a Baern's hit dice and ability
modifiers, and not that of the original fiend.
Summon Child (Sp): A Baern can summon any fiend (daemon, demon, devil, or
similar evil outsider) in existence once per day, though is loath to do so because its
is disgusted by the weaker fiends it can control. A Baern can summon even "noble"
fiends (daemons, demons, devils, and similar evil outsiders (as a rule of thumb, all
such creatures choosable for “pact feats” like Thrall to Demon)); but they are not
under control of the Baern.
Withering (Su): When a Baern hits a living opponent with a claw or bite attack the
opponent takes 2 points of permanent Constitution drain, or 4 points on a critical
hit. The Baern gains a cumulative +1 Str bonus for every 2 points of constitution
damage that it inflicts to a maximum of its unmodified strength score. Fortitude DC
46 negates. The save DC is Charisma-based.
The following abilities are not shared by all Baern. Each Baern is a unique creature
and posesses one to eight of the following abilities:
Ancestor’s Bidding (Su): The Baern has the power to demand obeisance of all his
“children”. In a shockwave of sickly grey energy, a Baern can, as a standard action,
attempt to dominate all evil creatures within 300 ft. All evil, lesser or non-divine
creatures must succeed on a Will save DC 46 or suffer the effects of a dominate
monster spell, with the following exceptions:
-Daemons take a –6 penalty on their saves, since their ties to the Baern are the
strongest.
-Demons and Devils take a –2 penalty on their saves, for the Baern taps old, long
forgotten connections to these protoplasmic spirits to worm its way into their
minds.
-Certain “noble” daemons, demons, devils, and similar evil outsiders (as a rule of
thumb, all such creatures choosable for “pact feats” like
Thrall to Demon) are immune to this ability.
-Clerics of Evil Gods or mortals with feats like “Thrall to Demon” or similar feats
gain a +4 bonus on their saves, since the connection to their vile patrons gives
them an edge in resisting the assault on their minds. This does not extend to
mortals who crafted a pact with a daemon entity.
-Creatures created by the Baern’s Weavers of Flesh ability gain no save. If it was
another Baern who directly created
a given creature, it takes a –4 penalty on its save.
-Protection from evil does not suppress control.
This ability has a caster level of 42, but it cannot be dispelled but by a CL 43
disjunction or a CL 43 miracle, and these possibilities allow only one creature to be
freed for each application form the Baern’s corrupt yolk.
The duration of this ability is otherwise permanent, and the maximum number in
HD of creatures controlled is 2x the Baern’s HD (default 84). This is a burst effect,
so creatures standing near the Baern are affected first, although obstacles don’t
block it.
As I Die (Ex): Perhaps the most fearsome of all powers of the Baern is the
consumption of the heroes of light. When a Baern is slain by another living being its
soul clings to the soul of the person who slew it. The soul cannot be exorcised
without killing the one who slew the Baern. The Baern then begins a terrible
metamorphosis of the body and soul of the posessed being. Within a few days of
terrible agony and endless pain, the Baern transforms the body of its victor into his
body – rejuvenating the Baern. The victim is held in eternity of torture* 24 hours
after killing the Baern. The Baern needs 1 day per 7 hit dice of the victim to
complete the transformation.
Short of divine intervention, there are only few ways to stop the transformation: an
epic heal spell consisting of the heal seed cast against a caster level check DC of
the Baern, a wish or miracle spell cast by a spellcaster against the caster level of
the Baern on hallowed ground or the possesed being must be killed on hallowed
ground and reanimated . If the possessed being passes a Will save, it is returned to
life. If it fails the save, the Baern is reborn forever destroying the formerly
possessed being and consuming its soul (no further resurrection will work). The
save DC is 41 and it is charisma based.
Defiled Magic (Su): There is a property in the Baern's obsession to wickedness that
causes even the force of abstract evil to bend its favor. This reality corrupting
sympathy allows the Baern to cast corrupt spells and spell like abilities without the
spells corruption cost. Additionally they can ignore disease component requirements
of spells and spell like abilities and the Baern casts all corrupt spells with a standard
action as a swift action. Further, they get an +4 DC enhancement for spells with the
evil descriptor.
Life-Eater (Su): A Baern notices and locates living creatures within 100 feet, just as
if it possessed the blindsight ability. It also senses the strength of their life force
automatically, as if it had cast deathwatch.
Senses of Evil (Su): A Baern has the following spells always active at 42nd caster
level: devil’s tongue*, detect evil, detect good, detect magic, magic circle vs. good,
nether trail*, read magic, and true seeing. They can be brought down, but the
baernolth can reactivate all of them as a swift action.
Weavers of Flesh (Ex): The Baern once created every evil creature. This predates
the modern fiends and perhaps even the gods themselves. The Baern still “create”
(more truthful would be “pervert”) life forms from time to time with this power.
There's no limit to this power and specific Baern are known for forming anomalies
(e.g. one created a half-golem-balor-ghost, another is rumored to have given life to
the aboleth race.).
Daoine Sidhe
The Tuatha Dé Danann ("people of the Goddess Danu" - the deities and deified
ancestors of Irish mythology). Some sources describe them as the remaining
survivors of the Tuatha Dé Danann who retreated into The Otherworld after they
were defeated in battle by the by the Milesians - the mortal Sons of Míl Espáine
who, like many other early invaders of Ireland, came from the Land of the Dead.
In Gaelic folklore
The aos sí are often propitiated with offerings, and care is taken to avoid angering
or insulting them. Often they are not named directly, but rather spoken of with
euphemisms such as "The Good Neighbors," "The Fair Folk," or simply "The Folk",
in the hope that if humans describe them as kind, they are more likely to be so. In
this vein, the most common names for them, aos sí, aes sídhe, daoine sídhe
(singular duine sídhe) and daoine sìth mean, literally, "people of peace".
Aos sí are sometimes seen as fierce guardians of their abodes - whether that be a
fairy hill, a fairy ring, a special tree (often a hawthorn), or perhaps a particular loch
or wood. The Gaelic Otherworld is seen as being closer at the times of dusk and
dawn, therefore this is seen as a time special to the aos sí, as are some of the
festivals such as Samhain, Beltane and Midsummer. The aos sí are generally
described as stunningly beautiful, though they can also be terrible and hideous.
As part of the surrender terms in their loss against the Milesians, the Tuatha Dé
Danann agreed to retreat and dwell underground in the sídhe , the hills or earthen
mounds that dot the Irish landscape. In some of the later poetry, we find that each
leader of one of the tribes of the Tuatha Dé Danann was given one mound.
In a number of later English language texts, the word sídhe was used for both the
mounds and the people of the mounds.

_____________________________________________________________
Aptitude Focus Although daoine sídhe do not always have class levels, their
immense life spans and knack for learning allow them to acquire abilities from their
racial Hit Dice similar to those conferred by class levels. Each daoine sídhe may
choose one of the following. This daoine sídhe has chosen the music aptitude focus.
Arms The daoine sídhe gains one bonus fighter feat per five racial Hit Dice and may
select fighter-only feats as if it were a fighter of a level equal to her racial Hit Dice.
Hunter The daoine sídhe gains the swift tracker and favored enemy abilities of
a ranger of a level equal to the daoine sídhe's racial Hit Dice. It gains Track as a
bonus feat.
Magic The daoine sídhe has the spells per day and spells known of a cleric,
druid, sorcerer, or wizard whose level is equal to one-half its racial Hit Dice, or of
a bard whose level is equal to three-quarters its racial Hit Dice. The daoine sídhe's
effective caster level for its spells is equal to three-quarters its racial Hit Dice.
Music The daoine sídhe has unearthly musical prowess. It gains the bardic music of
a bard whose level is equal to its racial Hit Dice.
Rage The daoine sídhe has the ability to unlock the amazing strength of anger. It
gains the rage, uncanny dodge, greater rage, and indomitable will abilities. Its
effective barbarian level is equal to three-quarters its racial Hit Dice. It may choose
to utilize the whirling frenzy variant.
Stealth The daoine sídhe gains the improved uncanny dodge ability and may sneak
attack as a rogue, inflicting 1d6 points of damage per five racial Hit Dice. The
daoine sídhe also gains either improved evasion or hide in plain sight. Its effective
rogue level for purposes such as flanking a character with improved uncanny dodge
is equal to three-quarters its racial Hit Dice.
Mythic Nature A daoine sídhe is an aspect of nature's power and magic. As such, a
daoine sídhe has one or more unique special abilities. These abilities should be at
most equal to the example abilities included here. Different abilities may alter the
Challenge Rating of the creature, and the designer should consider their impact
carefully. The caster level for all mythic nature effects which use one is equal to the
daoine sídhe’s spell-like ability caster level unless noted otherwise.
Sample Mythic Nature Ability: Faerie Song (Su) The daoine sídhe can utilize a
limited knowledge of the Óran Sídhe or Faerie Song to gain access to the unique
bardic music abilities described below.
Threnody of Despair (Su) The daoine sídhe can sing a song which instills its
enemies with the despairing certainty that their own deaths are nigh. The daoine
sídhe can use a standard action to target a living creature that can hear it and that
it can see. The next time the target is wounded, if the daoine sídhe has been
constantly singing since it activated the ability, the victim must attempt a Will save
(DC 28). If the victim succeeds, he is in no further danger unless the daoine sídhe
uses this ability again. If the victim fails, he becomes dazed for 3 days (in a
despairing catatonia) and must immediately attempt a Fortitude save. If that save
fails, the victim succumbs to his wounds even if they are not life-threatening or
even lethal damage. This is a sonic, mind-affecting effect. Using this ability requires
expending a number of daily uses of bardic music equal to one-half the Hit Dice of
the target.
Otherworldly Grace (Su) A daoine sídhe receives an insight bonus to its Armor
Class, attack rolls, and weapon damage rolls equal to its Wisdom bonus. It is
unaffected and undamaged by natural hazards of all sorts, including difficult terrain,
natural magma, a forest fire, natural lightning, and exposure to naturally cold or
windy weather. This ability offers no protection against sentient-made hazards or
the special abilities of creatures. Finally, the Survival check DC to Track a daoine
sídhe in natural environs is increased by +20.
Stunning Gaze (Su) Stunned for 2d4 round, 30 feet, Fortitude DC 28 negates. The
save DC is Charisma-based.
Wild Empathy (Ex) A daoine sídhe can use wild empathy as a 20th-level druid. A
daoine sídhe has a +6 racial bonus on wild empathy checks.
ECOLOGY
Daoine sídhe are the noble-blooded fey. They are usually found presiding over
courts of lesser fey: most local courts are ruled by daoine sídhe families.
These fey typically live 10,000 years.
Environment: Daoine sídhe can be found almost anywhere in the Celtic lands, but
are most often found in secluded areas of vibrant life. They strongly avoid cities,
though, as well as smaller mortal settlements to a lesser extent.
Typical Physical Characteristics: A daoine sídhe appears much like an elf, except
that its ears are more similar to those of a half-elf. It stands slightly taller than a
human, and its skin and hair may be any color at all. A daoine sídhe’s taste in
clothing may vary considerably – some prefer to wear elegant courtly attire, while
some wear nothing at all. The majority fall between these two extremes, with
simplicity, tastefulness, and high-quality fabric being common.
Alignment: Daoine sídhe, like many fey, care nothing at all for concepts of morality
or ethics, and may be any alignment. Their lack of concern leads them to be often
neutral.
SOCIETY
Daoine sídhe social structure is much like that described in the fey Feature series,
except that gender bias varies. The daoine sídhe believe in the great significance of
their heritage and maintain reasonably strong family units called kelirs. Each kelir
normally dominates one or a few local courts while simultaneously attempting to
gain power and influence in more significant courts.
TYPICAL TREASURE
Daoine sídhe usually manage to collect significant quantities of treasure. Daoine
sídhe usually have 1/10 coins, triple goods, and double items, in addition to the
personal equipment listed above.
Arms: The daoine sídhe increases its effective fighter level by its racial Hit Dice for
the purpose of qualifying for feats.
Hunter: The daoine sídhe adds its racial Hit Dice to its ranger level for the purpose
of determining its favored enemy abilities. When it it reaches 1st level of ranger,
and again at 8th level, it gains a nonepic feat it qualifies for.
Magic: This ability interacts with levels in spellcasting classes as normal for monster
spellcasting. If the class is druid, the daoine sídhe gains a nonepic feat it qualifies
for at 9th level of the class.
Music: The daoine sídhe adds its racial Hit Dice to its bard level for the purpose of
determining its bardic music abilities.
Stealth: If a daoine sídhe with this aptitude focus gains levels in rogue and reaches
a level where it would normally gain an ability which it already has by virtue of this
aptitude focus (such as when a daoine sídhe with improved evasion reaches 2nd
level of rogue, or when any daoine sídhe with this aptitude focus reaches 4th level
of rogue) it gains a nonepic feat for which it qualifies instead of the ability which it
already has.
The daoine sídhe gains all the benefits of advancement by racial Hit Dice in addition
to those that follow, except when noted otherwise. It does not gain ability score or
fast healing improvements from its racial HD up to 30; instead it gains the
improvements listed below. Its Challenge Rating increases equal with its racial Hit
Dice until it reaches 30 Hit Dice, instead of at every fourth Hit Die. All skills are
class skills for the daoine sídhe.
Arrow of Fertility (Su): Any weapon the daoine sídhe wields gains the merciful
quality, which can be deactivated as normal. Additionally, when the daoine sídhe
fires an arrow, the arrow becomes invisible. It disintegrates after dealing damage.
The wound is superficially closed, leaving no outward sign of harm.
The daoine sídhe can instill reproductive vigor in creatures with her arrows. Up to
three times per day, the daoine sídhe can use a standard action to fire an arrow
that passes through all nonmagical barriers in its way (so it can be stopped by
a wall of fire or wall or force), negating cover and concealment, and strikes as a
ranged touch attack. A living creature struck by this special arrow must succeed on
a Fortitude save (DC 28) or become hormonally overwhelmed for the next five
rounds. The victim seeks to become intimate with the nearest person of the
opposite sex - what it will do if the object of its lust is unwilling depends upon its
personality and alignment. Some creatures will simply beg, while the more
romantically inclined will attempt to hastily charm and seduce. Regardless of how
this desire manifests, the creature can pay no attention whatsoever to anyone else,
and is considered flat-footed as far as other creatures are concerned. As a side
effect, any creature who succumbs to the arrow of fertility becomes fertile if it was
sterile.
Faerie Song (Su) The daoine sídhe can utilize a limited knowledge of the Óran Sídhe
or Faerie Song to gain access to the unique bardic music abilities described below.
- Threnody of Despair (Su) The daoine sídhe can sing a song which instills its
enemies with the despairing certainty that their own deaths are nigh. The daoine
sídhe can use a standard action to target a living creature that can hear it and that
it can see. The next time the target is wounded, if the daoine sídhe has been
constantly singing since it activated the ability, the victim must attempt a Will save
(DC 28). If the victim succeeds, he is in no further danger unless the daoine sídhe
uses this ability again. If the victim fails, he becomes dazed for 3 days (in a
despairing catatonia) and must immediately attempt a Fortitude save. If that save
fails, the victim succumbs to his wounds even if they are not life-threatening or
even lethal damage. This is a sonic, mind-affecting effect. Using this ability requires
expending a number of daily uses of bardic music equal to one-half the Hit Dice of
the target.
Touch of Life (Su): A daoine sídhe with this special attack can restore life to those
who have lost it. Up to three times per day, the daoine sídhe can touch any living
thing’s remains and restore it as if with resurrection. This effect works
on aberrations, animals, dragons, fey, giants, humanoids, magical
beasts, monstrous humanoids, oozes, plants, and vermin, as well as on living
objects such as inanimate plants and fungi.
A daoine sídhe may use this ability in combat by touching an enemy’s item that is
made out of organic materials, such as a pair of leather boots or a feathered cloak.
Doing so requires a touch attack to hit the item (AC 10 + item size modifier +
wearer’s Dexterity modifier). As long as the originator of the materials is dead, it is
instantly restored to life. If its remains were a part of an item, such a bull being
part of leather boots, the item is unmade and returned to its component parts when
the creature is restored to life. A magic item targeted by this effect may resist with
a Will save (DC 28); nonmagical items receive no save. The save DC is Charisma-

” The Gods visit the sins of the fathers upon the children.“
The Gods are responsible for their creation, and their continued existence.
A False God wanders the Planes until it finds a suitable niche somewhere far from
the attentions of it's Divine parent, and begins to try to set itself up as a God by the
use of it's magical abilities. It is believed they wish to convert worshipers away
from the true Gods in a bid to usurp their power, although it isn't likely they have a
real chance of doing this. At least it's widely assumed that this or just a blatant
attempt to grab power in the material world is their goal.
Of equal concern and controversy is why their parents do nothing to stop them. At
least not directly. Some Gods have subtly backed mortal champions who have
undertaken missions to defeat their more evil progeny. Some have been
spectacularly less than subtle. But none of them have ever personally raised a hand
to smite one of their children despite their being so viciously sadistic.
it is also unknown exactly why their progeny are so vile. For Evil deities their
children being murdering, manipulative monsters comes as no surprise. But what
cause the children of Good deities (and whatever they mated with) to be so
unconscionably foul? There are even rumors of a seductress of some power who
personally hopes to defeat the Gods with their own sons and daughters.
False Gods can generally appear as almost anything they like with their ability to
Shapechange. They often appear as a member of whatever race they are
attempting to influence, or at least in a form that they would find attractive or
comfortable. But in moments of great anger or frustration their true nature bubbles
to the surface, and they momentarily lose control and appear as some sort of ever
shifting monstrosity.
Combat
Annihilation (Ex): Mortal beings cannot withstand the assaults of a False God. As a
Standard Action the False God can make a Melee or Ranged Touch Attack (range is
240’). If the attack is successful, and the victim has no Divine Rank, he must make
a DC 46 Willpower Save or Die. If the Save is successful he instead takes 10d6
untyped damage. If the opponent has Divine Rank and the attack is successful it
instead does 3d6 plus the False Gods Charisma Modifier. The exact appearance of
the attack varies from False God to False God, and can look like virtually anything
(however they all operate the same mechanically).
Spell Like Abilities (Sp): False Gods may cast the following at will as Spell-Like
Abilities: Heal, Limited Wish, Mass Charm Monster, Mass Cure Serious Wounds,
Shapechange. Caster Level is equal to Hit Dice.
Domain (Su): False Gods have access to one Domain associated with their Divine
Parent. They may cast any Domain spell of 6th level or lower at will as a Spell-Like
Ability. 7-8th level Domain spells can be cast 3/day as a Spell-Like ability, and 9th
level spells 1/day. Caster Level is equal to Hit Dice. It can use the Domain Ability at
will, Cleric Level is equal to it’s Hit Dice.
Divine Aura (Su): Any being within 100' is affected by the False Gods Divine Aura if
they fail a DC 46 Willpower Save (Save DC is Charisma Based). If they succeed
they are immune to this False Gods Aura for 24 hours. If they fail they are subject
to the Aura's effects for the duration of the encounter and for 1 hour after. The
False God can use one of the following effects. It is born able to use this effect and
cannot change it later:
This is a Mind-Affecting Effect. Beings with a Divine Rank or more Hit Dice than the
False God are immune to this ability.
Immunities: Immune to disease, stunning, sleep effects, poison, Death Effects, and
Disintegration.
Divine Power (Su): False Gods get a Deflection Bonus to their AC, and a Profane
Bonus to their Saving Throws equal to their Charisma Modifier.
Skills: The False God has a +12 Racial Bonus on any 3 Skills associated with it’s
Divine Parents Domains or Portfolio.
Combat: False Gods attempt to hide their nature as long as possible using their
spell like abilities to pretend to be priests or wizards. But if something should
actually harm them or upset their plans, they will be quick to use their Annihilation
ability.

Lore
Characters with ranks in Knowledge (Religion) may have heard the stories about
the False Gods. When the character makes a skill check, the following lore is
revealed, including the information from lower DCs.
DC Lore
50 The False Gods are Abominations, children of a Deity and a Lesser (possibly
mortal) being (this reveals all Abomination traits). False
Gods are incredibly powerful and can kill with a gesture if necessary.
55 The False Gods are utterly Evil, and driven to destroy their parents by trying
to replace them in the hearts of their worshipers. They are
vulnerable to the Clerics patronized by their Divine Parent.
60 The Gods themselves will not personally attack the False Gods, but they will
back mortal champions who do so.
Plot Hook
The PC's have been asked to find out what's behind raids in the local desert.
Defeating the bandits, they stealthily follow them to their lair, and find a camp built
around an oasis on no maps they know of. What lurks in the pool can only be
called an abomination before the Gods. A monstrous violation of nature. Fleeing
back to their city bound employers they make ready to lead an assault that may
well be the death of them all.
Animals in a nearby forest have been somehow picking off the villages one by one.
Eventually the PC's find a deserted town filled with the staring malignant eyes of
what should be dumb beasts gazing at them from every cranny. After enduring
countless assaults from animals far craftier than they should be, the PC's venture
into the forest to find the source of their discomfort, and find waiting for them a
thing that demands to be worshiped on pain of their deaths.
The High Temple of Pelor has been destroyed by what appears to be a rival God. A
God with...less than benevolent intentions. A God who claims to have defeated
Pelor and replaced him as deity of the Sun. All of the priests are dead so there is
no one to say otherwise. The PC's have been asked to find out what has happened.
If they can escape the city.
The PC's rescue what appears to be a lone woman surrounded by a gathering of
Druids. The Druids seem to give up a little too easily, perhaps even without
combat. And long after they have left the forest, the PC's new traveling companion
begins to exhibit certain powers. Powers that suggest that perhaps she never
needed the PC's help. Powers that suggest they may have been wrong in 'rescuing'
her. But how can they find out what her intentions are now?

Kensho closes his eyes as he concentrates on hearing whatever has given him the
feeling of being followed, listening for the faintest indication of a threat. He didn’t
know how long it’s been tailing the group, but it’s definitely there. As his superb
hearing picks up the tiniest sound, he hears the faint sound of a bow being drawn
back in the distance. He screams for everyone to find cover, diving to push Silvius,
his wizard friend and fellow hero-deity behind the remains of a great fallen tree, but
it was too late. The arrow slid cleanly between Silvius’ ribs and emerged partially
out of his back. As Benedict flips him over to snap the arrowhead and desperately
attempt to save his transfixed friend, Kensho peeks over the log to identify the
assailant only to see another arrow flying towards his skull. Kensho’s training at the
temple definitely paid off as he darts under the giant log, narrowly avoiding having
his cranium pierced.
“Why are you attacking us?! What could have we probably done to warrant such
malice?” Kensho shouts.
A voice seemingly too beautiful and melodic to have such malevolence behind it
answers, “I did not intend to kill the wizard, monk. But he moved into my line of
fire. All I want is the cleric, for his masters are the ones who hunted my kind to
extinction! Leave him and the rest of you may go in peace!”
“As if his spark is… gone. As if it… destroys divinity.” Benedict replies meekly.
“What do you mean…gone? You don’t think this thing can take away our power?” a
befuddled Tragg asks weakly, a tone unbecoming for the former second-in-
command of the 5th Phalanx of Heaven.
“Yes.”, replies Benedict, “And I think its using poison to do so. This golden liquid is
unfamiliar to me, but seems to be the catalyst for this most blasphemous ailment.
Kensho, we have to take this… creature down. We don’t know where it is but if we
retreat now it’ll just pick us off one by one.”
“Fo’ once I agree with the choirboy, we have to take this monster down fast and
hard. I’ll tear out its pansy-ass guts and use ‘em fo’ a pillow!” Tragg bellows.
“Quiet!” Kensho commands, “I think I just saw whatever is attacking us. It looks
like a centaur with golden antlers. It’s coming this way, and it’s fast! We’re not
prepared for this! Gate us out! Now!”
This fabulous creature is a shining beacon of perfection. Its face is the epitome of
beauty itself, its voice the very essence of music. Amber eyes brimming with malice
and sorrow arrest your attention. Golden-brown skin with gold flecks sprinkled
across its flesh covers the cervid portion of its body, while golden scales so fine that
they are indistinguishable from skin cover its perfectly muscled humanoid half.
Golden-brown hair and 10-point golden antlers complete its deer-like appearance.
Hinds roam ancient forests far removed from civilization, protecting the forest and
the creatures living within with its formidable archery and melee prowess. However,
their seclusion does not mean that they know nothing of the outside world. In ages
past, before the current pantheons came into power, hinds roamed freely across
the planar forests. However, such freedom was not to last. When an evil deity
discovered that the blood of a hind could kill a god, he immediately slew his rival, a
prominent goddess of light. Outraged, the various gods of good and order came
together to divest the evil one of his power. Not one to be humbled by such
sniveling weaklings, the foul one called forth his fellow evil deities and abominations
to march on the gates of heaven. This act sparked divine war with the side of good
losing, succumbing to the power of the hind’s blood. With heavy hearts, the forces
of good resolved to destroy the hinds so that their blood could never be used for
such evil purposes again.
The hinds, staying as neutral as possible but not ignorant of the situation, banded
together against the gods and their servants. Fierce warriors when provoked, the
hinds slew many godlings and finished off a few deities using their knowledge of
forests and guerilla tactics to even the playing field. However, even their valiant
effort could not match the power of the gods, and the hinds were nearly hunted to
extinction. Facing imminent annihilation, the remaining hinds fled to the far corners
of the multiverse. Even as they fled, the gods still pursued them, either for their
blood or to slaughter them. After all was said and done and the gods destroyed
themselves, only a handful remained, the injustice and atrocities they suffered at
the hands of the gods forever seared into memory. Having lost everything they’d
ever known, the survivors withdrew into forests primeval, the knowledge of their
existence fading into eternity.
Combat
Given their history, to say that hinds are untrusting of deities and their servants is
an understatement. If such a creature enters a hind’s forest all he can expect is a
volley of poisoned arrows and a swift death. However, a hind is at heart a kind and
gentle creature and will allow those with no divine connection to pass unmolested if
they sacrifice those that channel divine power, should such a being accompany
them, even going so far as to offer healing and succor if the rest are injured. Those
who refuse can expect the same fate described above.
Hinds generally observe foreign creatures from hiding, tailing them as long as
necessary to discern their true motives and intentions. Those that harm the forest
or its inhabitants willfully and maliciously are not long for this world. Druids,
rangers, and other adventurers hunting for sustenance are not harmed, as this is
the way of nature, but the hind greatly prefers that visitors maintain a vegetarian
diet.
A hind’s natural weapons and any weapons it wields are treated as epic for the
purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Endless Stamina (Ex): A golden hind never needs to make Constitution checks to
continue running or to avoid nonlethal damage from a forced march, or Fortitude
saves made to avoid nonlethal damage from hot or cold environments. In addition,
the hind can last a week before suffering the penalties of starvation and thirst.
Divine Resistance (Ex): Due to their history of conflict with the pantheons of old,
hinds have developed a resistance to the attacks of deities and their servants, their
animosity so powerful it actually manifests as a metaphysical force to ward against
divine power. Against gods, a hind has resistance based on divine rank (refer to
Table 1-1 Divine Resistance) to any attacks drawing on divine power; versus mortal
servants, the hind’s opponent must succeed on a Will save (DC = 10 + ½ hind’s hit
dice + hind’s Cha modifier) or their attack fizzles out, as their devotion falters in
the face of the hind’s contempt for the gods. Even on a success, the attack is still
subject to the divine resistance 20. This resistance has no effect on abilities not
directed at the hind itself.
Evasion (Ex): A hind can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility.
If it makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals
half damage on a successful save, the hind instead takes no damage. A helpless
hind does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Swift Tracker (Ex): A hind can move at its normal speed while following tracks
without taking the normal -5 penalty. A hind takes only a -10 penalty (instead of
the normal -20) when moving at up to twice normal speed while tracking.
Favored Enemy (Ex): A hind gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot,
and Survival checks and a +2 bonus on weapon damage rolls against deities.
Poison (Ex): The hind coats its arrows with its own poisonous blood.
Unfortunately for those who wish to utilize this poison to usurp the reins of power,
they must first contend with the hind. This is no small feat, since the creature coats
its arrows and antlers with its own blood. Hind's blood can only be taken from a
still-living hind, any other method results in the substance being completely
useless. Naturally this means the beast must first be subdued, a task no one who
has lived in the era since the current pantheons came into power has been able to
accomplish.
Nature’s Affinity (Su): No natural, nonevil creature, sylvan creature, or fey will
willingly harm a hind. Evil creatures possessing less hit dice than the hind or
creatures dominated by an evil creature possessing less hit dice than the hind must
make a Will save (DC = 10 + ½ hind’s hit dice + hind’s Cha modifier) or stand
transfixed in awe of the hind’s radiant beauty for a number of rounds equal to the
hind’s Charisma modifier. Awed creatures cannot take any actions other than
defending themselves. However, the awe immediately ends if the hind makes any
hostile action towards the subject. In addition, hinds are immune to the spell-like
abilities of fey.
Second, a hind may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns,
briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at its normal speed without taking
damage or suffering any other impairment.
However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that are enchanted or magically
manipulated to impede motion still affect it.
Also, the hind gains the benefit of the Track Feat automatically, it need not select it.
Trackless Step (Ex): A hind leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be
tracked. It may choose to leave a trail if so desired.
Venom Immunity (Ex): A hind’s own blood is much more virulent than other
mundane poisons and utterly annihilates any foreign toxins entering its body. As a
result, a hind is completely immune to all poisons and venoms.
Spell-like Abilities: At will – entangle, remove disease, water walk, wood shape;
3/day – ironwood, snare, summon nature’s ally IV; 1/day – greater magic fang.
Caster level 25th.

The children of deities, Necodius have been abandoned by their divine parents.
Driven by their hatred towards their divine parents, Necrodius seek to kill all deities
and all who worship them, especially divine spellcasters. Necodius appear as pale
skinned, bald, emaciated humanoids. They have a single glowing green eye, and
their ribcage is torn open, exposing their black heart.
Combat
Necodius target deities and divine spellcasters before attacking other foes.
Bane of the Divine (Su): Necodius gain a profane bonus to AC equal to their wisdom
bonus.
Intercession (Su): A Necodius can cut divine spellcasters off from their source of
power. To do so, the Necodius makes a turning check as if it were a cleric of a level
equal to the Necodius' Hit Dice. The result indicates the highest-level divine
spellcasters the necodius can cut off from their deity. The turning damage result
indicates the maximum total Hit Dice of divine spellcasters within 60 ft. the ability
can affect. Normally, affected divine spellcasters cannot turn undead or cast divine
spells for 1 minute; however, if the necodius has twice as many HD as the
spellcaster has divine levels, the divine spellcaster loses the ability to turn undead
and cast divine spells for 24 hours. Deities can be affected by this ability (even if
they are not divine spellcasters) but gain effective turn resistance equal to their
divine rank. Normally, affected deities are reduced to divine rank 0 for 1 minute;
howevet, if the Necodius has at least twice as many HD as the deity has levels, the
deity is reduced to divine tank 0 for 24 hours. Quells can use their Coupled
Intercession ability to increase the effective cleric level of the Necodius.; NB:Unlike
Quells, Necodius can attack their victims w/o ending the effect prematurely and can
use this ability an unlimited number of times per day.
Profane Blast (Su): As a standard action, the Necodius can make a ranged touch
attack against any creature within 100 ft.. The subject takes 15d6 points of vile
damage, 2d6 points of Wisdom drain and (if the target is a deity) permanently
reduces the subject's divine rank by 1d4 (if this bring the target's divine rank to
less than zero, the target becomes mortal). A sucessful Will save (DC 39) halves
the vile damage and negates the Wisdom drain and divine rank loss.
Summon Quells (Sp): Three times a day, as a standard action, the Necodius can
summon 2d10 quells.
Divine Immunity (Su): The Necodius is immune to all divine magic and Salient
Divine Abilities.
NB:A Dead Zone (or, alt., the Dead Zone (transcendental) ability) can nullify this
ability.
As it affects the environment itself rather than affecting the Necodius directly.
Abrogate, etc.; Cozen, etc.; etc. are ineffective vs. this ability.
Regeneration (Ex): The Necodius takes normal damage from holy weapons and
weapons forged by a deity.
Sacrilegious (Su): The necodius can cause the destruction of any number of holy
(or unholy) symbols within 60 ft. of it as a free action. Such symbols will combust,
melt, shatter, bend or snap in half, or otherwise be ruined, rendering them useless
for turning or rebuking attempts, as spell foci, and so on. If the symbol was
magical, it is entitled to a Fortitude save to avoid destruction. The necodius can
employ this ability not just against priest's symbols, but against books, tabards,
tapestries, or other objects that bear such an image (often ruining the decorated
item in the process). A creature with such an image branded or tattooed onto its
skin will suffer if the necodius employs this ability against them - they take 3d6
points of damage and 3 points of Constitution damage, as the profane abomination
causes the skin beneath the image to crack open and ooze blood.
NB:Divine rank 0 = quasi-deity status. In Ascension, this is divine rank 4-5. Use 4.
For Profane Blast, in Ascension, divine rank 0-2 is mortal. Use 0-2. Targets can
be reduced to 0. This strips them of all their quintessence and divinity.
Salient Divine Abilities inc. all divine, cosmic, etc. abilities.
“Cyber Creature” is a template that can be added to any corporeal, living creature
(referred to hereafter as the “base creature”). The cyber creature uses all the base
creature's statistics and special abilities, except as noted here.
Special Qualities:A cyber creature retains the special qualities of the base creature
and gains the following:
- Computer Link (Ex):As a move action, a cyber creature can link with any
computer it can reach, using short filaments that extend from its fingertips (or
equivalent). Once the physical link it achieved, the cyber creature can use the
computer to accomplish complex computer-related tasks more quickly than normal.
A task that normally requires 1 or more minutes to complete on the computer takes
a full-round action instead, while a task that normally takes 1 or more hours takes
1 minute instead. The DC of the skill check increases by 5, however, as the cyber
creature trades caution for expedience.
A cyber creature retains its Dexterity bonus to armor class while linked to a
computer. Disconnecting from the computer is a free action, and a linked cyber
creature who takes an attack action automatically severs the link. The link is also
broken the moment the cyber creature can no longer reach the computer.
Abilities:A cyber creature gains -2 Charisma. Intelligence and Wisdom are at least
3.
[Description]
“Cyber Knight” is a template that can be added to any Aleerin or cyber creature
(referred to hereafter as the “base creature”). The cyber knight uses all the base
creature's statistics and special abilities, except as noted here.
Armor Class:A cyber knight retains the armor bonuses of the base creature and
gains the following:
- Natural Armor Bonus (Ex):A cyber knight gains an armor bonus equal to its Hit
Dice. 4.8
Special Qualities:A cyber knight retains all the special qualities of the base creature
and gains the following:
- Damage Reduction (Ex):A cyber knight gains damage reduction equal to half its
Hit Dice/ - . 1.2
- Fast Healing (Ex):A cyber knight gains fast healing equal to half its Hit Dice. 1.2
- Robosoul (Ex):A cyber knight can gain robot accessories, components, and
upgrades as cybernetic implants; and can gain robot feats as if it were a robot
(biodroid and bioreplica accessories, components, feats, and upgrades only). It
must, however, meet all other prerequisites for all accessories, components, feats,
and upgrades. 1.2
Dark Lord is a template that can be applied to any intelligent creature of evil
alignment. Changes to the creature’s statistics are as follows:
Size and Type: The base creature’s type does not change, but it gains the Evil
subtype. Size is unchanged.
Hit Dice: Increase to d20. Dark lords have maximum hit points per hit die. 1d, 1f
Speed: Triple the base creature’s speed. The dark lord gains a fly speed equal to its
land speed or the base creature’s fly speed, whichever is greater. All dark lords
have perfect maneuverability. 1d, 1f
Armor Class: Natural armor improves by +10. Dark lords gain a profane bonus to
Armor Class equal to their Charisma bonus and an insight bonus to Armor Class
equal to their Wisdom bonus. +1, 1d, 1d
Attacks: A dark lord's base attack bonus is increased to be equal to its total HD. All
natural attacks the base creature possessed have their damage increased by three
steps. A dark lord also gains a touch attack that deals 1d8 points of vile damage
per HD of the dark lord. Dark lords may use manufactured or natural weapons in
place of this touch attack; those that do so deal an additional 1d8 points of vile
damage per HD on a successful attack. 1d
Space/Reach: A dark lord’s reach doubles (see the shadow’s reach ability), but its
space is unchanged. 1f
Special Attacks: The dark lord retains all special attacks of the base creature and
also gains the following special attacks:
Armaments of Doom (Sp): A dark lord’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it
wields, are considered to be epic and evil weapons and have the invincible (1), soul
stealing (1), and unholy power abilities. 12f
Butcher the Weak (Ex): A dark lord gains a +20 morale bonus to all attack and
damage rolls against creatures with fewer hit dice than it. Furthermore, all critical
threats against such creatures are automatically confirmed and deal maximum
damage. 1d, 2f
Command (Ex): A dark lord may command the fealty of any creature of its base
creature type within earshot. Creatures that fail a Will save are subject to the dark
lord’s every demand, although suicidal or obviously harmful tasks elicit another Will
save. Once a creature successfully saves, it is forever immune to the command of
that dark lord. Save DCs are Charisma-based. 1d
Death Throes (Ex): If killed, a dark lord explodes, dealing 1d20 points of permanent
damage (2) per hit die (no save) to all creatures within 50 ft per HD of the dark
lord. 1d
Frightful Glare (Su): Gaze attack, range 10 ft per HD. Affected creatures must
succeed on a Will save or be paralyzed with fear for 2d10 rounds. This is a mind-
affecting fear effect. 1d
Rebuke Undead (Su): A dark lord can rebuke undead as an evil cleric of a level
equal to its HD. 1f
Retributive Curse (Su): When a dark lord is killed, all creatures who had a hand in
the dark lord’s demise are subject to a bestow curse effect (no save) and must
succeed at a Will save or suffer a bestow greater curse effect. The being that
actually killed the dark lord automatically receives both curses and must succeed at
a Will save at a -4 penalty or suffer a bestow malediction (3) effect that can never
be removed. The save DCs are Charisma-based. 1d

whichever is higher. Save DCs are Charisma-based. Spell-like abilities usable at will
—bestow curse, black blade of disaster, deeper darkness, detect good, dominate

with combined hit dice equal to or less than twice the dark lord’s hit dice, with no
one fiend having more than half the dark lord’s hit dice. Unique beings can be
summoned, but they are entitled to a Will save to resist the summons. This is the
equivalent of an epic spell. The save DC is Charisma-based. 1c

also gains the following special qualities:
Blindsight 200 ft. 1f
Damage reduction 50/epic and good. 1d

Size and Type:The base creature's type changes to Undead (unless a Construct or
Undead). Size is unchanged. +1.6
Special:If your campaign uses the Void subtype (((Void Subtype:Void creatures are
made of the same empty space that comprises the Void. Normal creatures (that is,
creatures without the void subtype) cannot see them unless the void creature
makes its presence known, either by an act of will (a free action) or by attacking. A
void creature has total concealment (50% miss chance) unless it reveals itself. See
invisibility and invisibility purge don't reveal void creatures, but true seeing does.
Blindsight and blindsense don't reveal void creatures. Members of the void disciple
class can see void creatures. Once it reveals itself, a void creature remains visible
until it uses a free action to conceal itself again.))), the base creature gains the
Void subtype as well. +0
NB:The Undying lose their Undying abilities, etc. completely.
Speed:An entropic creature gains a fly speed equal to its base land speed with
perfect maneuverability. .8
NB:Entropic creatures do not fly; rather they are not subject to gravity in the same
way other creatures are. They can move in any direction through any medium,
disintegrating solid matter in their path.
Special Attacks:An entropic creature retains the special attacks of the base creature
and gains the following:
- Third Death (Su):If destroyed, an entropic creature implodes in upon itself. All
targets within the entropic creature's reach must make a Reflex save or be sucked
into the void and lost forever. Occasionally, beings lost in this manner find a way to
return but they are never the same creature they were before unless they are
somehow protected against the dimension of entropy. The save DC is Charisma-
based. (divine) 1.2
- Void Gaze (Su):Any intelligent creature looking at the entropic creature can
become lost in the unrelenting depth of blackness. Intelligent creatures within 5 ft.
per 2 Hit Dice of the entropic creature must make a Will save or become fascinated
for 2d6 rounds. The save DC is Charisma-based. This is a mind-affecting
effect. (divine) 1.2
Special Qualities:An entropic creature retains the special attacks of the base
creature and gains the following:
Organization:Solitary.
Treasure:Standard.
Level Adjustment:Same as the base creature +47.166.
"As cold as they are beautiful, as varied as they are terrible, The Heartless,
Acolytes of the lower realms, Deceivers, seducers, the lot of them, and none more
terrible than those from the ranks of The Fallen." - Dyllythyx, First Born Son of
Demogorgon, Prince of Merciful Iniquity.
Creating a Heartless
The Heartless uses all the base creature's statistics and special abilities, except as
noted here.
Size and Type:The base creature's type (unless it is Construct or Undead) changes
to Outsider. The base creature also gains the daemon (neutral evil), demon (chaotic

the following:
- Deflection Bonus (Ex):A Heartless gains a deflection bonus equal to its Charisma
modifier. 1.2
- Insight Bonus (Ex):A Heartless gains an insight bonus equal to its Charisma

Special Attacks:A Heartless retains the special attacks of the base creature and
gains the following:
- Alter Reality (Su):A Heartless can (cast/manifest) any 0-9th level (spell/power),
as a swift action, at will. A Heartless can also combine said (spell/power)
w/Automatic Meta(magic/psionic) Capacity, Meta(magic/psionic) Freedom, and
meta(magic/psionic) feats (as appropriate) for greater results. Alternatively, a
Heartless can use Alter Reality to give itself a circumstance bonus on all di(e/ce)
rolls equal to 9 + the number of Automatic Meta(magic/psionic) Capacity feats it
possesses. If it's chosen to gain a circumstance bonus on all di(e/ce) rolls, it lose its
circumstance bonus any round it use Alter Reality for any other purpose.
(Caster/Manifester) Level = HD/L. The save DC's, if any, are Charisma-based.;
NB:If a Heartless already has Alter Reality, it gains +1 c.a. (or +6 d.a.). 7.2
- Belittle (Ex):As a swift action, a Heartless can belittle creatures. This ability
affects all creatures (selective (Immediate nonaction)) within 100 ft. + 10 ft./Hit
Die of a Heartless. Those who can hear a Heartless must succeed on a Will (DC 10
+ 1/2 Hit Dice + Charisma modifier) save or be stunned for 1 round. Those who
succeed on their saves but remain within the area must continue to save each
round that the Heartless continues to belittle them. After being stunned, opponents
become shaken for 3d4 rounds. This is a mind-affecting effect. 1.2
- Charm (Ex):As a swift action, a Heartless can charm creatures. This ability affects
all creatures (selective (Immediate nonaction)) within 100 ft. + 10 ft./Hit Die of a
Heartless. Those who can hear a Heartless must succeed on a Will (DC 10 + 1/2 Hit
Dice + Charisma modifier) save or be charmed (as if by a charm monster spell).
Those who succeed on their saves but remain within the area must continue to save
each round that the Heartless continues to charm them. This is a mind-affecting
effect. 1.2
- Deadly Glance (Su):As a standard action, a wrathful Heartless can kill or stun a
creature within 100 ft. + 10 ft./Hit Die with a look. The target creature must
succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Charisma modifier) or die (if
the Heartless intends to kill the creature) or be stunned for 2d4 rounds (if the
Heartless intends to stun the creature). 1.2
- Postcognition (Su):A Heartless can see into a being's past and learn its history.
The target must make a Will save or have their entire history become known to the
Heartless. If the save fails, the GM should reveal any pertinent (written) facts about
the individual’s history. A Heartless can attempt to discern an individual’s history
any number of times, but each time they successfully save against the Heartless's
prying they gain a cumulative +10 circumstance bonus for their next save. The
save DC is Charisma-based. 1.2
Special Qualities:A Heartless retains the special qualities of the base creature and
gains the following:
- Damage Reduction (Ex):A Heartless gains damage reduction equal to half its Hit
Dice (round down; 5 = minimum). If the Heartless has 20 total Hit Dice or less then
the damage reduction will be DR x/aligned (chaotic [if lawful] or lawful [if chaotic])
and magic or x/aligned (good) and magic. If the Heartless has greater than 20 total
Hit Dice then the damage reduction will be DR x/aligned (chaotic [if lawful] or
lawful [if chaotic]) and epic or x/aligned (good) and epic. .75
(i.e. A 10 Hit Dice chaotic evil Heartless gains DR x/good or lawful; and magic,
allowing aligned [good or lawful] magic weapons to bypass its damage reduction.)

Dice. .2

Cha. 10.8
Alignment:Any evil.
Among the population of every kind of creature are some specimens that are its
weakest, worst representatives. Likewise, every population has its paragons:the
strongest, smartest, luckiest, and most powerful of the species. Paragons may
represent the mythical First Creature, created in its perfect form by some creator
deity, or perhaps the evolutionary endpoint of a race after thousands of years of
steady improvement. Sometimes, paragons just spring up accidentally, when all the
factors are right.
Creating a Paragon
Size and Type:Animals and vermin become magical beasts. Otherwise, Type is
unchanged. A paragon gains the psionic subtype. Size is unchanged.

modifier. 1.2
- Luck Bonus (Ex):A paragon gains a +50 luck bonus (see Fortuity). 60
Special Attacks:A paragon retains all the special attacks of the base creature and
gains the following:
- Alter Reality (Su):A paragon can (cast/manifest) any 0-9th level (spell/power), as
a swift action, at will. A paragon can also combine said (spell/power) w/Automatic
Meta(magic/psionic) Capacity, Meta(magic/psionic) Freedom, and
meta(magic/psionic) feats (as appropriate) for greater results. Alternatively, a
paragon can use Alter Reality to give itself a circumstance bonus on all di(e/ce) rolls
equal to 9 + the number of Automatic Meta(magic/psionic) Capacity feats it
possesses. If its chosen to gain a circumstance bonus on all di(e/ce) rolls, it lose its
circumstance bonus any round it use Alter Reality for any other purpose.
(Caster/Manifester) Level = HD/L + 50 (see Fortuity). The save DC's, if any, are
Charisma-based.; NB:If a paragon already has Alter Reality, it gains +1 c.a. (or +6
d.a.). 7.2
Special Qualities:A paragon retains all the special qualities of the base creature and
gains the following:
- Fortuity (Ex):A paragon adds a +50 luck bonus to:armor class; attack rolls;
checks (ability checks, caster level checks, manifester level checks, skill checks,
turning checks); damage rolls; difficulty class (for any powers, psi-like abilities,
special abilities, spell-like abilities, spells); initiative; power resistance; saving
throws; spell resistance; and turn resistance (if applicable).
- Inner Eye (Ex):A paragon can automatically (no action required) manipulate
its fate. For example...The paragon gains the best or worst (its choice) results on all
dice rolls. However, a natural “20” is not an automatic success and a natural "1" is
only an automatic failure if it opts to fail. 7.2

Dice + 50 (see Fortuity).

- Maven & Omnicompetent (Ex):A paragon gains maximum ranks in all skills (w/all
skills becoming class skills). 2.4
Treasure:Double standard.
Amidah or Ultimate One (for there can only be one per multiverse), is a template
that can be added to any Paragon (Perfect One) (referred to hereafter as the "base
creature"). The Amidah uses all the base creature's statistics and special abilities,
except as noted here.
Hit Dice:An Amidah uses d100's (Cosmic Toughness) for Hit Dice, rather than d20's
(see Paragon) and has quadruple (*Cosmic Firmament (x3)) maximum hit points,
rather than maximum hit points (see Paragon).;*If the Amidah is a deity, the
Amidah is treated as if always within
their godly realm, regardless of where they manifest.; NB:This Cosmic Firmament
ability is the template version of Cosmic Firmament
and different from the Cosmic Firmament ability listed under Cosmic Abilities
(I.H.:A.). 29
Armor Class:An amidah retains the armor bonuses of the base creature and gains
the following:
- Luck Bonus (Ex):An amidah gains a +75 luck bonus (see Fortuity), rather than a
+50 luck bonus (see Paragon). 30

gains the following:
- Evil Eye (Su):An amidah can automatically (no action required) manipulate (no
save) the fate of any/all creature(s), location(s), and/or object(s) within Extreme
range (400 ft.+40 ft. per HD/L of the amidah) or the range of its divine aura (if
any, if greater). For example...The creature(s), location(s), and/or object(s) gain
the best or worst (its choice) results on all dice rolls. However, a natural “20” is not
an automatic success and a natural "1" is only an automatic failure if the target(s)
(is a/are) creature(s) and (it/they) opt(s) to fail.
Special:Creatures with the Inner Eye ability can't have their destiny tampered with
in this manner. They, however, can no longer manipulate their own fate (as per the
benefits of the Inner Eye ability). 43.2
Special Qualities:An amidah retains all the special qualities of the base creature and

(see Paragon). 1.875
- Fortuity (Ex):An amidah adds a +75 luck bonus to:armor class; attack rolls;
checks (ability checks, caster level checks, manifester level checks, skill checks,
turning checks); damage rolls; difficulty class (for any powers, psi-like abilities,
special abilities, spell-like abilities, spells); initiative; power resistance; saving
throws; spell resistance; and turn resistance (if applicable), rather than a +50 luck

creature, and gains the following special attacks:
- Constant Insight (Su):A pseudonatural creature gains a +20 insight bonus on all
attack rolls and is not affected by the miss chance that applies to attacks against a
concealed target. +3.7
- Spell-Like Abilities:At will - blink, blur, ethereal jaunt; 3/day - greater invisibility,
implosion, scintillating pattern, stinking cloud, 1 summon monster IX, telekinesis,
touch of idiocy. Caster Level = Hit Dice. The save DCs are Charisma-based. +.18
1 A pseudonatural creature can summon only pseudonatural animals or vermin with
this ability. It can select from any celestial or fiendish animal or vermin that could
be summoned by summon monster IX, but applies the pseudonatural template (see
Lords of Madness) to the creature rather than the celestial or fiendish template.
Special Qualities:A pseudonatural creature has all the special qualities of the base
creature, plus the following special qualities:
— Blindsight 500 ft. +1
— Immunity to poison. +.2
— Acid and electricity resistance 15 plus 5 per 4 Hit Dice (round up). +2.4

Superior Half-Dragon
Common dragons are well-known for their fecundity, siring half-breed offspring with
myriad creatures. What few sages realize is that higher-order dragons share this
trait; however, such half-draconic offspring are much rarer due to both the scarcity
of their draconic parents, and because few beings can successfully couple with such
powerful creatures. The spawn of such unions, however, are superior half-dragons
(the term is used collectively for all half-epic, half-adamic, and half-nehaschimic
dragons) and can become multiversal movers and shakers in their own right. Oddly,
some of these dragons should not be able to have children at all (such as void
dragons), but rare instances of creatures having the traits of such creatures
indicate that such a thing is somehow possible.
Size and Type:The creature’s type changes to dragon, and it gains the augmented
subtype. Size is unchanged. Do not recalculate base attack bonus or saves.
Hit Dice:Increase the base creature’s Hit Dice as follows:d20 for half-epic dragons
and d100 for half-adamic and half-nehaschimic dragons. Superior half-dragons
always gain maximum hit points per die (half-nehaschimic dragons gain double
maximum hit points per die).
Speed:A superior half-dragon has wings, and may fly at three times their base land
speed with good maneuverability, or as the base creature, whichever is better.
Armor Class:A superior half-dragon gains a natural armor bonus of +12 (epic
dragon), +36 (adamic dragon), or +108 (nehaschimic dragon), which stacks with
the base creature’s natural armor. It also gains a deflection bonus from its wings
(see below) which doesn't stack with any other deflection bonus.
Attack:A superior half-dragon has two claw attacks, two wing buffet attacks, and a
bite attack, and the claws are the primary natural weapon. If the base creature can
use weapons, the superior half-dragon retains this ability. A superior half-dragon
fighting without weapons uses a claw when making an attack action. When it has a
weapon, it usually uses the weapon instead.
Full Attack:A superior half-dragon fighting without weapons uses both claws, both
wings, and its bite when making a full attack. If armed with a weapon, it usually
uses the weapon as its primary attack and its wings and bite as natural secondary
attacks. If it has a hand free, it uses a claw as an additional natural secondary
attack.
Damage:Superior half-dragons have wing, bite, and claw attacks, with damage as
listed on Table 1-8:Universal Base Damage by Size in The Immortal’s Handbook
Epic Bestiary Vol. 1. Remember that these values may be modified if the superior
half-dragon has any virtual size categories. A superior half-dragon’s natural
weapons, and all melee weapons wielded, are treated as being epic for purposes of
overcoming damage reduction.
Special Attacks:Superior half-dragons retain all the special attacks of the base
creature and gains the following:
Breath Weapon (Su): A superior half-dragon is able to use a breath weapon, the
exact type and damage of which is determined by what kind of superior half-dragon
it is. Epic half-dragons can use their breath weapon once every 1d4 rounds, adamic
half-dragons can use their breath weapon once every 1d3 rounds, and nehaschimic
half-dragons can use their breath weapon once every 1d2 rounds. The save DC is
10 + ½ the superior half-dragon’s Hit Dice + the superior half-dragon’s Con
modifier.
- Force (epic): A half-force dragon breathes a cone of pure force, dealing 1d4 points
of force damage per Hit Die of the half-dragon (no save).
- Nexus (nehaschimic): A half-nexus dragon can breathe a cone that has a 33%
chance (roll once per individual) of shunting those within it into another universe,
erasing them from ever having existed at all in their native universe. Those affected
by the same use of this breath weapon might be shunted into the same alternate
universe.
- Platinum (epic): A half-platinum dragon has two breath weapons. The first is a
cone of sonic energy that deals 1d6 damage per Hit Die of the half-dragon (half
damage on a successful Reflex save). The other is a cone of healing vapors that
heals 5 points of damage per Hit Die (this harms undead creatures, who may make
a Reflex save for half damage). The half-platinum dragon may inhale the latter
breath weapon if it chooses, affecting only itself.
- Timber (epic): A half-timber dragon breathes a cone of death energy, dealing 1d8
points of damage per Hit Die of the half-dragon to living creatures (half damage on
a successful Fortitude save). This deals d12 points of damage per Hit Dice to
creatures of the plant type, or water subtype. It deals no damage to constructs and
the undead.
Special Qualities:Superior half-dragons retain all the special qualities of the base
creature and gains the following:
~ Void (adamic):Half-void dragons are immune to cold damage, and are healed
instead of harmed by acid damage.
- Legendary Wings (Su): While all superior half-dragons have features that are
indicative of their draconic parent, all have wings that are completely identical to
what their dragon progenitor would have (replacing any wings the base creature
would otherwise have). They are able to use these wings to protect themselves,
wrapping them around their bodies protectively, granting them a deflection bonus
equal to ¼ their Hit Dice (for half-epic dragons), ½ their Hit Dice (for half-adamic
dragons) or equal to their Hit Dice (for half-nehaschimic dragons); this doesn't
stack with any deflection bonus the base creature may have. Additionally, each
variety of superior half-dragon is able to, as a standard action unless otherwise
noted (no AoO), use their wings to gain a different effect (none of which interferes
with their ability to fly).
~ Force (epic): A half-force dragon’s wings are completely invisible, through still
tangible. On its turn a half-force dragon is able to negate all force effects within 100
ft. of it. This functions like a successful dispel magic used against all force-related
spells and magic items (e.g. a wall of force would immediately cease to exist,
bracers of armor would be nonfunctional for 1d4 rounds, etc).
~ Nexus (nehaschimic): The wings of a half-nexus dragon are composed of light,
though they shine less brightly than those of a half-firmament dragon’s. By using
their wings, they may “attack” the laws of physics, denying an effect from
happening despite it having the requisite cause. As an immediate action, a half-
nexus dragon can cause someone within 100 ft. to lose a standard action from their
turn (e.g. the victim may only take a move action this turn, unless they somehow
have more actions). Eternals and higher beings are not subject to this power.
~ Timber (epic): A half-timber dragon’s wings seem to have their bones made from
wood, with the membranes being leaves. As its wings are incarnations of nature,
they offer the half-timber dragon great defensive power from unnatural things.
While fighting defensively, a half-timber dragon takes the minimum possible
damage from manufactured weapons (e.g. a +7 longsword wielded by someone
with Str 26 would only do 16 points of damage). Unarmed strikes and natural
weapons continue to inflict normal damage.
~ Void (adamic): A half-void dragon’s wings are utterly black, being wing-shaped
holes in the fabric of reality. A half-void dragon’s wing buffet attacks are always
touch attacks, and ignore all hardness and damage reduction. Moreover, they deal
permanent damage. Permanent damage cannot be healed, except by a limited wish
(which restores 1 hit point) or wish (which restores 1 hit point per caster level).
- Spell Resistance (Ex): A superior half-dragon has spell resistance equal to its Hit
Dice +10 (half-epic dragons), +15 (half-adamic dragons), or +20 (half-nehaschimic
dragons).

Carnifex
Like assassins and rogues, the Carnifex's discipline centers to a great degree
around the knowledge of human and demi-human anatomy, but where both pursue
arts founded on murderous expediency, the Carnifex endeavors to cripple and
demoralize before the kill. To strike well before they strike deep is their ideal,
marking the degradation of flesh and spirit as a worthier accomplishment than the
mere dispatching of a foe.
Some Carnifexes wed the cruelty of their art to the imperious dictates of tyrants
and conquerors, serving as grim enforcers of the rule of law. Others are but
deviants, insatiably drawn to savor and enact the manifold ways in which strength
and will can be made to crumble. All are fanatics, whatever their affiliations or lack
thereof, implacably drawn to sculpt and break the minds of perceived offenders or
easy prey through the cleansing fires of torment.
Through the lives they lead, the atrocities they feel charged or entitled to commit,
Carnifexes become inescapably versed in the horrors of life and sensation, which
the mortal mind can never hope to encompass. Having seen firsthand the depths to
which others can fall, the Carnifex grows to discard that which stands as common
ground between them; reforging themselves as creatures unreachable and
inhuman, their hearts purged of all empathy, fear and doubt.
Alignment: The Carnifex's unswerving focus upon bloodshed and torment preclude
goodness on their part, though not all are murderous and depraved as a matter of
course. One doesn't necessarily have to be evil to specialize in such a gruesome
craft, but few would argue that it helps.
Carnifexes have the following game statistics.
Hit Die: d8
Class Skills
Balance (Dex), Concentration (Con), Heal (Wis), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str),
Knowledge (Local) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Wis), Sense
Motive (Wis), Spot (Wis), Tumble (Dex), and Use Rope (Dex).
Class Features
Weapons and Armor Proficiency: Carnifexes are proficient with all simple weapons,
all martial weapons, and light armor.
Baleful Prowess (Ex): The Carnifex knows well the virtues of precision and alacrity,
and automatically gains the weapon finesse feat. In addition to being able to apply
their dexterity modifier as their attack bonus with light weapons, they can also do
so with a single one-handed melee weapon of their choice.
Bloodstained Reverie (Ex): At 2nd level, the Carnifex has become almost spiritually
attuned with the spark of violence. Through their own ferocity and exhilaration in
the wake of bloodletting, they can all but see and feel the malicious intent of their
opponents take form in near prophetic insight toward the cadence of battle. Against
creatures that are not mindless, the Carnifex may add their wisdom modifier, if
positive, as an insight bonus to their AC while they are wearing light or no armor.
Reaver’s Art (Ex): At 4th level, the Carnifex has turned crippling and disfigurement
into their life’s art. Whenever they score a critical hit, they may forsake their critical
modifier to ensure that their attacks unduly maim their opponents; shattering
bones, cleaving tendons, and rending muscle to mangled, weeping fiber. The
opponent who falls pray to this ability must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC: 10 +
the Carnifex’s class level) or suffer a -2 circumstance penalty on their attack rolls,
armor class, saving throws, and skill checks for the remainder of the battle.
The Carnifex gains additional options as to the effect of their Reaver's Art ability
every 4 levels as indicated:
At 8th level, the Carnifex has mastered the art of impeding a target’s range of
movement through the ruthless precision of their attacks: parting muscle and
sinew, wrenching skin from the bone, and ultimately ensuring that their victim’s
every step is hobbled by an accompanying surge of pain. Should the Carnifex wish
it, the target’s movement rate is effectively reduced to half by this ability, running
or charging becomes impossible, and the target suffers a -4 circumstance penalty
against tripping checks and on balance rolls.
At 12th level, the Carnifex can choose to maul the opponent’s primary weapon arm
or attacking limb. The target suffers a -5 circumstance penalty on all attack rolls
and disarm checks pertaining to the damaged limb, against those wielding weapons
two-handed, this penalty is halve but the damage modifier is reduced to the
standard single-handed equivalent; a target wielding a weapon in one hand must
succeed against an immediate opposed attack roll with the aforementioned penalty
to avoid dropping their weapon. For monsters, consider the attack listed under
‘attack’ as the affected weapon.
At 16th level, the Carnifex can choose to crack or split the target’s ribs, causing the
bones’ jagged ends to saw into the target’s underlying flesh. Each round, the victim
of this attack suffers 1d6 points subdual damage and cannot run lest they suffer the
same amount of damage in lethal form. Any movement on the target’s part fatigues
them, and a successive instance of this Reaver’s Art levels them exhausted and
prone.
At 20th level, the Carnifex may choose to strike with such skill and subtlety that
their attack not only bares and excises a targeted mass of muscular or organ
tissue, but leaves the surrounding area exquisitely intact and all too responsive in
its wake… The initial trauma inflicts 1d6 points of constitution drain, incurs the risk
of death through massive damage (Fort DC: 15), and the raw surge of pain that
accompanies the vivisection incurs a 50% chance on the target’s part that they will
be too blinded by their continuing agony to perform any actions in the wake of their
mutilation. All spell casting attempts must first muster a successful Concentration
check at the Reaver’s Art DC even if the target does manage to overcome the
aforementioned percentile, and any full-round movement on the target’s part will
inflict a point of temporary constitution damage on top of the existing drain.
Three consecutive rounds of movement leave the target nauseated, no save, and
should the target elude the Carnifex or be spared immediate execution, they lose
another constitution point per day, find it impossible to rest, and can suffer neither
drink nor sustenance.
All effects of the Reaver’s Art special ability end as soon as the target receives
magical healing or two days of complete rest; in the last case, only the
Regeneration spell can mend the constitution drain inflicted.
Fell Prodigy (Ex): The Carnifex has gleaned much from their depredations: every
panicked scream that they have coaxed forth, every crippling wound that they have
wrought upon an opponent’s flesh, every spirit crushed by their brutality leads them
to a perpetually burgeoning awareness of mortal frailty. Killer's knowledge and
instinct are woven as one into the fabric of their being, and the Carnifex grows
increasingly adept at exploiting the wages of agony and horror as a result:
At 8th level, the Carnifex has further honed their ability to gauge the extent of
one’s degradation and vitality, enabling them to surmise the degree of a threat that
their enemies yet pose, and how far they are from total collapse. Through instinct,
experience, and awareness of even the most elusive of signs, the Carnifex can
determine a subject’s proximity to death provided that there are within viewing
range. This mimics the effects of the deathwatch spell, and grants the Carnifex a
+4 insight bonus on all Sense Motive checks against helpless opponents and those
who normally fall within the Fragile range of the deathwatch spectrum.
At 12th level, the Carnifex has achieved thorough mastery in the ways of butchery
and infliction, increasing the DC on all saves against their Reaver’s Art by four and
allowing them to wield any weapon that they are proficient with as though they
possessed the improved critical feat. This is not cumulative with latter or prior
instances of the feat, or anything else that nature, save for the Keen weapon
quality.
At 16th level, the Carnifex may viciously exploit lapses in their opponent’s defense.
The Carnifex may inflict their base Reaver’s Art against flat-footed opponents with
or without a confirmed critical.
At 20th level, it becomes perfectly second nature for the Carnifex to outmaneuver,
overpower, and all the more thoroughly exploit all weakness and instability in their
opponents and victims. Those who through anxiety or weakness afford the Carnifex
an insight bonus against them, as per the first tier of this trait, automatically count
as flat-footed for the purposes of the Carnifex’s attacks.
Hand of Mercy, Hand of Torment (Ex): At 6th level, the Carnifex guides their blade
with ruthless instinct and a morbidly discerning eye, their attacks affecting a cruel
balance of viciousness and subtlety to rend the flesh in the most agonizing of ways,
to heighten and prolong suffering as pleases the Carnifex. The Carnifex can inflict
subdual damage without suffering any penalty to their attack rolls, although all but
the base Reaver’s Art rely on lethal damage, and against creatures that are
susceptible to critical hits, the Carnifex may add their wisdom modifier, if positive,
as an insight bonus to the damage that they deal.
The Carnifex may apply their Healing skill to further exacerbate the symptoms and
scope of physical injuries, allowing them to inflict their Reaver’s Art upon helpless
targets with no possible save on their part.
Sanguine Detachment (Ex): In the midst of all the misery that they have witnessed,
and all the agony they have caused, the Carnifex has become so callous and jaded
that they scarcely remain human. The Carnifex receives a +4 bonus against all fear
and enchantment based effects, and on all Sense Motive checks directed against
them.
Lurid Pangs (Ex): At 10th level, the Carnifex becomes all the more heinously versed
in their cruel art, their brutality made manipulative and insidious by the acuity with
which they can ply their targets through the agony of infliction. In the event that
the Carnifex successfully performs their Reaver’s art, the target must make a Will
save (at the same DC + the Carnifex's base charisma modifier, if positive) lest they
become shaken. Witnesses to the victim’s agony are all too able to experience their
trauma vicariously, and must make the same Will save lest they suffer a -2 morale
penalty to their saves and skill checks, provided that they are within thirty feet of
the victim.
Creatures with sharp senses, such as low light vision, are susceptible within twice
that range. The fear effect is cumulative against the target, should they suffer
further in this way.
At 14th level, the Carnifex’s onslaught is pervaded with such violence and horror
that those who perish before them are henceforth mired in the trauma of their
deaths, becoming so panic-stricken at the very notion of living and all the suffering
that they have known it to entail that they must succeed at a Will save (DC: the
Carnifex’s class level + the damage of their killing blow) or reflexively shrink away
from all reviving overtures.
Virulent Edge (Su): At 10th level, wounds inflicted by the Carnifex rot, weep, and
inflame with unnatural haste as the flesh molts and withers before the underlying
taint of the assault. Natural or unaided forms of healing, such as that afforded
through nonmagical care, rest, and Fast Healing, are voided by the malignant
nature of the injuries that have been inflicted. The Carnifex’s attacks always inflict
lethal damage against creatures with the Regeneration trait, unless the Carnifex
wishes to moderate the damage dealt.
At 16th level, the Carnifex’s attacks naturally assume the Wounding quality.
Glacial Divide (Ex): At 18th level, the Carnifex has become so inured to bloodshed
and tragedy that they are effectively emotionless. Fear, Confusion, and Compulsion
are powerless to sway them, and the Carnifex is no longer susceptible to morale
bonuses or penalties of any kind. The Carnifex can now take 20 on all bluffs and
intimidation that pertain to violence and inscrutability.
Resonant Infliction (Su): At 20th level, the Carnifex is capable of such brutality that
it will inexorably permeate the essence of any creature who falls prey to it. Those
who are dying or unconscious as a result of the Carnifex’s ministrations are thrown
into agonized paroxysms, gnashing and wailing the extremity of their torment with
complete abandon.
Even creatures normally immune to criticals are now susceptible to the Reaver’s Art
provided that they are sentient (that is, able to imagine the debilitating extremity of
the pain that the Carnifex is trained to dispense), and those who are vulnerable at
the best of times must make a Will save (DC: 10 + the Carnifex’s level + the
Carnifex’s wisdom modifier) if they are rendered dying or disabled through the
infliction of the Reaver’s art.
Should they fail, they become permanently insensate as per the effects of the
Feeblemind spell.
Helpless creatures subjected to the Reaver’s Art can be sculpted into living Symbols
of Pain, at twice the normal range of effect, if the Carnifex is allowed uninterrupted
access to them every day for seven days. Such a creature cannot be restored to
sanity or independence by any means short of a Miracle, and cannot rest, eat, or
drink, although they can be fed with considerable effort. Should the victim of this
ability die or be killed, their residual agony will maintain the effect for five rounds
afterward, and those already afflicted will suffer its penalties for an hour as though
they had merely run out of its range.
Creatures that are immune to fear and pain are immune to this latter effect, both
as potential foci and as victims by proximity, as is the Carnifex.
Threat (Revised)
Threats fight brutally and don't back down from a challenge. They are steel-minded
and destroy all in their path; breaking bones, shattering rock, and holding enemies
in their place with a force few can muster. Vicious and comparable to a pit fighter,
they pull no punches and
become numb to the harm that befalls them. A Threat is exactly what their name
implies, a threat.
Alignment:Any.
Hit Die:d12
Class Skills
- Brawler (Ex):At 1st level, a Threat gains Improved Unarmed Strike (or Versatile
Unarmed Strike (PHII, Pg. 85), if already possessed of Improved Unarmed Strike)
as a bonus feat. Furthermore, he can apply his Strength modifier as an untyped
damage bonus to any natural attack (inc. unarmed strike) twice per day per Threat
level. This untyped bonus damage stacks with the normal damage from
his Strength modifier. Finally, he can also apply the untyped bonus damage from
his Mighty Blow class feature to any natural attack (inc. unarmed strike).
- Fearless (Ex): At 1st level, a Threat gains immunity to fear (inc. fear effects,
etc.).
- Uncanny Dodge (Ex):Starting at 3rd level, a Threat can react to danger before his
senses would normally allow him to do so. He cannot be caught flat-footed, nor
does he lose his Dex bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible. He still loses his
Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. A Threat with this ability can still lose
his Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action
(see Combat) against him.
If a Threat already has uncanny dodge (see above) from another class, the levels
from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum rogue
level required to flank the character.

though, if you take this feat for each Type, you can.).
Special:You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you gain this feat, you
can choose another creature Type to affect normally.
Agent of Death
Almost every adventurer, over the course of their journeys, is forced to kill other
living things. Whether predators attacking their camp, armies of orcs in the midst of
an uprising, or alien entities bent on world conquest, there are plenty of enemies
out there that an adventurer might slay. For all of the death involved in
adventuring, however, normal adventurers come nowhere near agents of death.
Agents of death are the greatest of all specialized assassins, about as likely to be
serving a deity of death as to be selling their art to the highest bidder. Though not
outwardly magical, the bloodlust that fills each agent of death heightens their skills
beyond their normal limits and allows them to store away the souls of those that
they slay. Though many agents of death are quite intelligent and a few are even
charismatic, only fools allow themselves to forget that each agent of death is
always waiting for another reason to kill. Masters of physical and psychological
warfare, few last longer than a few seconds in an ambush planned by an agent of
death.

Class Features: The following are class features of the Agent of Death.
Epic Spellcasting: Even without the Epic Spellcaster feat, an agent of death can still
develop and cast epic spells using the afflict, conceal, destroy, dispel, slay, and/or
transport seeds. For the purpose of developing epic spells with these seeds (and
only these seeds), costs in gold pieces and experience points are halved. An agent
of death may use his or her base attack bonus in place of ranks in knowledge skills
to gain epic spell slots and in place of ranks in spellcraft when making the spellcraft
check to cast such a spell. An agent of death can cast an epic spell and make a full
attack as a full-round action. If the attack is successful, the epic spell slot is not
expended. If the agent of death doesn't cast spells, he or she uses his or her
highest ability score modifier to determine epic spell save DCs.
Slay (Ex): By watching a target and learning how it moves, an agent of death can
ensure a deadly assault. As a full-round action, an agent of death can observe any
enemy he or she possesses a line of sight with. The next attack that the agent of
death makes against that creature within the next three rounds treats the opponent
as flat-footed and automatically scores a critical hit if it hits. If the target was
unaware of the agent of death’s presence prior to the attack, the target must make
a Fortitude save (DC 20 + Class level + Int modifier) or either die instantly or
become paralyzed for 1d6 hours at the agent of death’s option. Creatures immune
to critical hits are also immune to this death and paralysis.
Crippling Strike (Ex): Agents of death are masters of disabling their foes, stopping
them from fighting back, escaping, or acquiring help. Whenever an agent of death
damages a creature with a a weapon (natural or manufactured), he or she may
apply two of the following benefits (or one if the target is immune to critical hits).
Each of the following benefits can be chosen multiple times and their effects stack
with themselves:
- The target possesses a -10 foot penalty to its speed for all modes of movement it
possesses for one round, down to a minimum of 5 ft. (multiple uses increase the
penalty).
- The target takes one point of ability damage to any one ability ability score other
than Constitution.
- The target is deafened for one round (multiple uses increase the duration)
- The target is blinded for one round (multiple uses increase this duration)
- The target is unable to talk or make verbal noises for 1 round (multiple uses
increase the duration)
- The target becomes unable to wield manufactured weaponry or produce somatic
components for spells for 1 round (multiple uses increase the duration)
At 6th level and every 5 levels afterwards, the agent of death may choose an
additional two benefits (or one if the target is immune to critical hits) each time.
Cat and Mouse (Ex): With a single well-placed strike, an agent of death can awaken
a deep primal fear within that creature or in witnesses, rendering those creatures
incapable of putting up a decent fight. Starting at 2nd level, whenever an agent of
death makes a successful attack against a creature, that creature must make a Will
save (DC 20 + Class level + Int modifier) unless it is mindless or become panicked
for one minute.This is a piercing mind-affecting fear effect. Alternately, when an
agent of death delivers a killing blow to a creature, he or she may have all non-
mindless creatures with a line of sight to the target make these saving throws,
though this ability doesn’t ignore immunities when used in this way. This ability can
be used once per encounter at 2nd level and one additional time per encounter
every 5 levels afterwards.
Bonus Feats: At 3rd level and every 5 levels afterwards, an Agent of Death can
select a single bonus feat from the following list: Agent’s Mark*, Blinding Speed,
Combat Archery, Dextrous Fortitude, Dextrous Will, Create Opening*, Consult the
Dead*, Don’t Fight the Reaper*, Epic Avoidance*, Epic Dodge, Epic Reputation, Epic
Skill Focus, Epic Speed, Epic Stealth*, Eternal Killer*, Godslayer*, Hide the Body*,

Canny Slaughter (Ex): Making the most of their environments and of their their
allies, agents of death can rain down death in ways few others could. Starting at
4th level, an agent of death can call upon superior positioning and combat prowess
to deal damage equal to your sneak attack or sudden strike damage against a
creature normally immune to such abilities if you would otherwise deal such
damage (this does not let you apply the damage twice if you ignore such
immunities). Alternately, the agent of death can lend an ally within 60 ft. the
benefits of his or her sneak attack or sudden strike class feature for the duration of
one attack made against a creature the agent of death had attacked within the past
three rounds.This ability can be used once per round at 4th level and one additional
time per level every 5 levels afterwards.
True Death (Su): Starting at 5th level, an agent of death reaches the supernatural
peak of his or her abilities, gaining a power that separates him or her from all other
would-be assassins. Whenever an agent of death kills a creature while within 100
ft. of it, he or she may trap away that creature’s soul. While a creature’s soul is
trapped in this way, it can’t be returned back to life through any means. Even epic
spells, artifacts, and the magic of deities fails when used to bring about this result.
This ability lasts until the agent of death dies or until he or she frees a soul to make
room for a new one. When in an antimagic field or similar effect, the agent of death
can’t capture new souls but previous souls remain trapped. An agent of death can
capture up to 10 souls at a time at 5th level and this number is multiplied by x 10
every 5 levels afterwards.
Dragon Overlord
Few beings could hope to match the majesty of dragons for many are their
strengths and few are their weaknesses. Even groups of adventurers have been
known to list the slaying of some dragon among their greatest accomplishments. A
few individuals, however, have managed to isolate and control the essence of
dragons in much the same way as the orbs of dragonkind. Drawing upon the arcane
essence of all of dragonkind, a dragon overlord can freely utilize draconic energies
and enslave dragons at will. Though most overlords acquire this power by enslaving
dragons, a rare few are entrusted with this power by the dragons themselves to
help organize them against some common threat. However a dragon overlord
achieves his or her rank, the presence of one in a nation will likely be remembered
for centuries to come.
Dragon Overlord
Class Features: The following are class features of the Dragon Overlord.
Epic Spellcasting: Even without the Epic Spellcaster feat, a dragon overlord can still
develop and cast epic spells using the armor, compel, conjure, contact, reflect, slay,
summon, and/or transform seeds. For the purpose of developing epic spells with
these seeds (and only these seeds), costs in gold pieces and experience points are
halved. If the dragon overlord doesn’t cast spells, he or she uses his or her highest
ability score modifier to determine epic spell save DCs.
The dragon overlord knows whether there are dragons within 100 miles at all times.
Within 10 miles, the dragon overlord learns how many dragons of each type there
are within range. Within 1 mile of a dragon, the dragon overlord is aware of the
exact age and location of the creature. Furthermore, all dragon overlords can
communicate telepathically with each other and all owners of the orbs of
dragonkind and can attempt to dominate the owner of an orb over a distance of 1
mile, though a DC 20 + class level + Cha modifier Will save resists.
Lastly, a dragon overlord can use protection from energy (cold), cure serious
wounds, wall of fire, spectral hand, suggestion, scrying, teleport, haste, and fly at
will as spell like abilities with a caster level equal to his or her class level + 20. The
save DCs of these abilities equal 10 + spell level + Cha modifier.
Draconic Magic: A dragon overlord inherits some of the arcane might that flows
through the veins of a dragon, allowing them to utilize magic. As a standard action,
a dragon overlord can select an arcane spell from the sorcerer spell list of a spell
level up to 7th and with a casting time of 1 standard action or less and cast it.
Spells with XP costs or with expensive foci or expensive material components can’t
be cast in this way. After casting a spell once (plus one additional time at 6th level
and every 5 levels afterwards), the dragon overlord may not cast that specific spell
again until he or she has spent 24 hours in meditation or study to recharge this
supply of energy. After casting a spell in this way, the dragon overlord must wait
1d4+1 rounds before doing so again.
Presence of the Dragon (Su): A dragon overlord holds the essence of dragonkind
within his or her form, an essence that forever seeks to escape even if it was
willingly given. Starting at 2nd level, a dragon overlord can let some of this energy
out to protect himself and prove his identity. As an immediate action, the dragon
overlord can let loose tornado-force winds outwards from himself to a distance of
100 ft. for 1 round, as if releasing the wingstorm of an entire horde of dragons. At
the same time, all creatures who can see the dragon overlord must make a Will
save (DC 20 + Class level + Cha mod) or become panicked for 1d4 rounds (this is a
piercing mind-affecting fear effect). This ability can be used once per encounter at
2nd level and one additional time per encounter at 7th level and every 5 levels
afterwards.
Spells per Day/Spells Known: At each even dragon overlord level, the character
gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he or she had also
gained a level in an arcane spellcasting class to which he or she belonged before
adding the prestige class level. If already an epic spellcaster, the character gains
only the benefit noted under the Spells entry for that epic class. He or she does not,
however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If the
character had more than one arcane spellcasting class before becoming a dragon
overlord, the player must decide to which class to add the new level for the purpose
of determining spells per day.
Bonus Feats: At 3rd level and every 5 levels afterwards, a dragon overlord can
select a single bonus feat from the following list: Armor Skin, Awe Dragonkind*,
Control Impure Dragons*, Damage Reduction, Detect Horde*, Devour Magic*,
Dragon Senses*, Dragon Skin*, Dragon Wings*, Epic Breath Weapon*, Energy
Resistance, Epic Dragon Mastery*, Epic Fortitude, Epic Leadership, Epic Mounted
Combat, Epic Reflexes, Epic Reputation, Epic Will, Expanded Dragon Mastery*,
Extended Life Span, Eye of the Storm*, Gem Dragon Mastery*, Great Charisma,
Great Constitution, Great Intelligence, Great Strength, Ignore Material Components,
Improved Combat Casting, Improved Spell Capacity, Legendary Commander,
Legendary Rider, Multispell, Overlord’s Aura*, Planar Dragon Mastery*, Spell
Knowledge, Threatening Presence*, Wyrm’s Fury

-----------------------------------------------------------------
New Feats
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Commandeer Spell (Su): Starting at 4th level, the magic that courses through the
blood of a dragon overlord grants him or her influence over magic itself. Whenever
a dragon overlord witnesses another creature casting a spell, the dragon overlord
can make an opposed Spellcraft check against the caster. If successful, the dragon
overlord gains control over the spell and can make all decisions for it. This ability
can be used once per round at 4th level and one additional time per round every 5
levels afterwards.
Draconic Fury (Su): Starting at 5th level, a dragon overlord can call upon the true
fury of the draconic power flowing through him or her, releasing and chaining these
powers. As a full-round action, the dragon overlord conjures forth an incorporeal
ancient true dragon of any type he or she can control through his or her ruler of
dragonkind class feature of his or her choice that is suspended around his or her
person. This ancient dragon obeys the telepathic orders of the dragon overlord but
can’t cast spells or use its spell-like abilities. The attacks and breath weapon of the
dragon, however, functions normally against corporeal targets, even adding their
normal strength bonus to damage rolls. If there isn’t enough room for the
incorporeal dragon (such as if caught in a small, force-lined room), this ability fails
to activate. If the dragon summoned in this way is slain, it dissipates and the
dragon overlord reclaims its power. Either way, the dragon called forth in this way
takes its action immediately after the dragon overlord before dissipating on its own.
Once this ability has been used, it can’t be used again for 1d4+1 rounds. At 10th
level and every 5 levels afterwards, this ability calls forth another ancient
incorporeal dragon with each use.
Dread Emperor
Controlling vast armies of the undead, a dread emperor (or dread empress) is a
master of necromancy. Rather than focusing on life force and its manipulation,
however, a dread emperor has focused on the creation of its twisted mockery.
Beyond the simple reanimation of the undead, a skilled dread emperor creates a
true plague of undeath. Every creature his or her undead slay soon joins his forces
and even those merely injured may find themselves turning in a matter of hours.
Combining this plague with a mastery of strategy that dwarves most mortal
tactitians, entire nations have been known to fall before dread emperors in mere
weeks.
Hit Die: d8
Class Features: The following are class features of the Dread Emperor
Epic Spellcasting: Even without the Epic Spellcaster feat, a dread emperor can still
develop and cast epic spells using the afflict, animate dead, armor, dispel, fortify,
reflect, slay, and/or summon seeds. For the purpose of developing epic spells with
these seeds (and only these seeds), costs in gold pieces and experience points are
halved.
Rebuke Undead: Your levels in dread emperor stack with levels in one class that
grants you the rebuke undead class feature for the purpose of rebuking undead. If
you possess levels in more than one such class, choose one to advance as you take
your first class level in dread emperor.
Unending Legions (Su): Dread emperors are best known for armies of the dead
large enough to overwhelm entire nations and worlds. A dread emperor no longer
counts undead with HD equal to or lower than his class level towards his limit of
controlled undead. Any creature slain by an undead controlled by a dread emperor
revives 1d4 rounds later as a zombie or skeleton as appropriate (unless its HD are
too high to allow for this) under the control of the dread emperor. Lastly, a dread
emperor can use animate dead and revive undead (libris mortis) at will as spell-like
abilities with a caster level equal to his or her class level + 20.
Overwhelming Swarm (Ex): Though the undead that a dread emperor controls may
individually be too weak to overcome foes, a dread emperor knows perfectly well
how to batter the defenses of more powerful enemies by continually swarming
them. Starting at 1st level, for every ten attacks made against a creature by
undead controlled by a dread emperor (whether the attack succeeds or not), the
target takes a stacking -1 penalty to its AC, Damage Reduction (if any), Fast
Healing (if any), and regeneration (if any). None of these values can be reduced
below 0. This penalty remains until the target has gone for an entire hour without
being attacked by undead controlled by the dread emperor. At 6th level and every 5
levels afterwards, this penalty increases by -1.
Dark Tactician (Ex): As a ruler of a grand army, few know more about strategy than
a dread emperor. Starting at 2nd level, a dread emperor can spend a full-round
action to heal any number of controlled undead within his or her line of sight up to
full hit points. Alternatively, he or she can grant them a +10 bonus to attack rolls,
Saving Throws, and AC for 1 round. As a final option, the dread emperor can grant
these undead a full round of actions to take immediately and may control how
mindless undead affected spend this action. The dread emperor can use an ability
from this list once per encounter at 2nd level and one additional time per encounter
at 7th level and every 5 levels afterwards. A Dread Emperor can never target him
or herself with this ability.
Spells per Day/Spells Known: At each even dread emperor level, the character
gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he or she had also
gained a level in a spellcasting class to which he or she belonged before adding the
prestige class level. If already an epic spellcaster, the character gains only the
benefit noted under the Spells entry for that epic class. He or she does not,
however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If the
character had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a dread emperor,
the player must decide to which class to add the new level for the purpose of
determining spells per day.
Bonus Feats: At 3rd level and every 5 levels afterwards, a dread emperor can select
a single bonus feat from the following list: Atropal’s Aura*, Commandeer Undead*,
Debilitating Swarm*, Desecration Aura*, Debilitating Touch*, Divine Spell
Knowledge*, Dread Spellscribe*, Epic Undead Leadership*, Eternal Horde*,
Extended Lifespan, Great Charisma, Great Intelligence, Great Wisdom, Improved
Legions*, Improved Spell Capacity, Legendary Commander, Life from the Lifeless*,
Link Senses*, Master of Necromancy*, Multispell, Negative Energy Burst, Quick
Transformation*, Selective Spell*, Spell Knowledge, Superior Legions*, Threatening
Presence*, Undead Mastery, Vile Entity*, Zone of Animation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
New Feats
Emperor’s Plague (Su): Starting at 4th level, all corporeal undead under the control
of a dread emperor pass on a disease with their natural attacks known as emperor’s
plague. The disease has a Fortitude save of 20 + Class level + Int modifier, has an
incubation period of 1 hour, and deals 1d6 points of constitution damage with each
failed save, plus 1d6 points of constitution damage at 9th level and every 5 levels
afterwards. Unlike most diseases, creatures must make additional saving throws
against emperor’s plague every hour instead of every day and the disease and
ability damage it deals can only be healed within a consecrated or hallowed area.
The disease is not naturally removed through any number of successful saving
throws and can only be healed magically within the area of a consecrate or hallow
effect. Any creature who dies of emperor’s plague awakens 1d4 hours later as a
zombie or skeleton as appropriate (unless its HD are too high to allow for this)
under the control of the dread emperor unless the body is dismembered or
destroyed. This class features is a piercing effect.
Undying Avatar (Ex): At 5th level, a dread emperor can spend 24 hours molding
dead flesh into a perfect likeness of themselves. This avatar acts as a zombie of the
dread emperor’s race with 20 HD, though it looks exactly like the dread emperor
(DC 30 spot check to realize its identity). Each undying avatar, though mindless,
has its senses directly linked to that of the dread emperor at all times and can be
controlled through the dread emperor’s thoughts at all time (even across planes of
existence). A dread emperor can even cast his or her non-epic spells through an
undying avatar, though doing so requires that the avatar spend actions casting the
spell as normal. A dread emperor can only have one undying avatar at any given
time at 5th level, plus one every 5 levels afterwards.
Godking
What does it mean to rule? While many heroes have attracted followers and cohorts
to follow them, what does it truly mean to hold the fates of an entire nation in your
hand? Godkings are those few beings with the charisma to join huge numbers of
people together without inheritance or fortunate happenstance. Whether carving
out new kingdoms or joining tribes together in unity, a godking demands respect
from his or her followers that borders on worship. While less than ideal for
adventuring in person, a godking is more than capable at acting through
intermediaries.

8th +4 Bonus Feat
9th +4 Godking’s Blessing (2 levels)
10th +5 Attract Viceroy (2)
Epic Spellcasting: Even without the Epic Spellcaster feat, a Godking can still
develop and cast epic spells using the armor, animate, banish, compel, contact,
heal, life, and/or summon seeds. For the purpose of developing epic spells with
these seeds (and only these seeds), costs in gold pieces and experience points are
halved. A Godking may use his or her ranks in Diplomacy in place of his or her
ranks in knowledge skills to determine epic spell slots per day and in place of his or
her ranks in spellcraft when casting an epic spell. If the godking doesn’t cast spells,
he or she uses his or her highest ability score modifier to determine epic spell save
DCs.
Godking’s Subjects (Ex/Su): A godking evokes loyalty beyond what most leaders
could ever hope to accomplish. All followers of a godking are treated as fanatical
towards the godking and are immune to fear effects while possessing a line of sight
with the godking. Furthermore, all followers and cohorts of at least 6th level gain
leadership as a bonus feat.
The great respect and admiration that the godking’s subjects hold for him,
meanwhile, grants him a degree of power similar to divinity used to reward these
servants. A godking’s subjects are always able to find food and water and can
always find shelter (or the materials needed to make one) regardless of what
environment they find themselves in. Furthermore, a godking’s subjects are never
at risk of dying from natural disasters such as famines, droughts, floods,
earthquakes, wildfires, plagues, tornados, and so forth. If such a disaster is
magical, supernatural, or man-made in nature, this protection does not hold.
Likewise, this protection does not extend to natural conditions of dangerous
environments (such as damage taken on the elemental plane of fire). This
protection is supernatural in nature.
Absolute Authority (Su): A godking is able to exercise total control over those who
can hear and understand him. At any time, a godking can grant any other creature
who can hear and understand the godking a single standard or move action that
must immediately be used as the godking dictates (if at all possible). Alternately, a
godking can immediately halt any such creature from taking a single offensive
action that would risk harming the godking and/or one of his or her allies. Either
way, a successful Will save (DC = Leadership score) negates this ability. This ability
can be used once per round at 1st level plus one additional time per round every 5
levels afterwards. This is a piercing mind-affecting, language-dependant compulsion
ability.
Attract the Masses (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a godking can attract incredibly large
numbers of followers. The godking multiplies the number of followers that they
would gain from their leadership score by the given number (after multiplying this
number through the legendary commander feat as normal), which increases by +1
at 7th level and every 5 levels afterwards.
Bonus Feats: At 3rd level and every 5 levels afterwards, a Godking can select a
single bonus feat from the following list: Armor Skin, Bolster Allies*, Bow to None*,
Chain of Command*, Damage Reduction, Energy Resistance, Epic Leadership, Epic
Reputation, Epic Will, Fast Healing, Godly Realm* Great Charisma, Halting
Authority*, Hardened Ruler*, King of the Wild*, Legendary Commander, Legendary
Diplomat*, Loyalty Past Death*, Mage King*, Martial Subjects*, Perfect Health,
Polygot, Renown*, Skilled Subjects*, Staggering Authority*, True Leader*,
Versatile Blessing*, Warrior King*.

Renown [Epic]
You are known far and wide for your greatness
Prerequisites: Epic Leadership
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to your leadership score.
Special: You may select this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.
Godking’s Blessing (Su): Starting at 4th level, a godking’s power seeps into his or
her servants, making them tougher and more skilled than they would otherwise be.
All of the godking’s servants gain one level in expert or warrior (their choice). This
counts as a normal level in all ways (granting hp, skills, feats, and so forth) but
doesn’t affect what the followers’ level counts as for the purpose of the godking’s
leadership feat (a level 1 commoner empowered into a commoner 1/expert 1, for
example, still counts as a level 1 follower). Levels gained in this way can’t be
retrained. At 9th level and every 5 levels afterwards, the godking grants an
additional level of expert or warrior to all of his or her followers (followers need not
choose the same class for all additional levels gained in this way).
Furthermore, a godking of at least 4th level can touch one of his or her followers as
a standard action to grant even greater benefits, granting a +4 enhancement bonus
to one ability score of the godking’s choice for 24 hours. Multiple touches to a single
target erase the benefits of previous touches.
Attract Viceroy (Ex): Starting at 5th level, a godking can attract and surround
himself with a large variety of cohorts. At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, a
godking can possess an additional cohort. Each cohort gained in this way must
possess an ECL of at least 5 levels lower than the one before it.
Harbinger of Endings
Contrary to how most people think, death is not the end. After one’s death, his or
her soul is judged before being sent on to its rightful reward or punishment. While
this is a great change to be sure, it is not the end. As for what the end even is, few
can hope to wrap their minds around it. The end is the looming threat on the
horizon that inspires true dread. The end, for there is only one, is the opposite
bookend to the genesis of the multiverse. Almost every religion in existence has its
own myths as to how it will occur and as to what will happen to the faithful
afterwards. Those who actively work towards the end, however, are rare and far
between. Inspired by the whispers of dark beings or through raw nihilistic fervor, a
Harbinger of endings is one of the few who willingly stares out into the void.
Though some are content to observe the slow approach of the end, many are drawn
to play a far more active role. Whatever the case, Harbingers of endings are a
threat to the multiverse itself.

Class Features: The following are class features of the Harbinger of Endings
Epic Spellcasting: Even without the Epic Spellcaster feat, a Harbinger of endings
can still develop and cast epic spells using the afflict, banish, destroy, dispel, slay,
and summon seeds. A Harbinger of endings is particularly blessed at creating
effects of monumental scope. For the purpose of developing and casting epic spells
using these seeds (and only these seeds), increasing the duration or range of a
spell by 100% increases the spellcraft DC by +1 per application of the factor
(instead of +2) and increasing the area of a spell by 100% increases the spellcraft
DC by +2 per application of the factor (instead of +4).
Envoy of the End (Su): A Harbinger of endings represents the forces that mean to
unravel the very multiverse and submit all into darkness. Everywhere that the
Harbinger goes, signs of his or her influence inevitably appear. Within a 1-mile
radius/class level of the Harbinger, minor omens make themselves known at every
turn, allowing any creature within range to make a DC 20 Knowledge (religion)
check to notice your presence. Furthermore, one of the following auras is always
active within the area. A Harbinger of endings can switch which aura is active as a
swift action.
Aura of War: All creatures within range take a penalty to Charisma-based skill
checks equal to twice the Harbinger’s class level. If a creature within range fails on
a bluff, diplomacy, or intimidate check, the target of this skill check has their
attitude towards the one who made the skill check worsened by one step (no saving
throw). As a swift action, a Harbinger of endings may specify any creature within
range whose presence he or she is aware of as an object of ire. All creatures in
range who are aware of that creature’s existence must make a Will save (DC 20 +
Class level + Cha mod) or spend their next action inflicting as much harm on the
object of ire as they are able to, fighting with their best abilities.
Aura of Famine: All food and drink (other than water) within range of this aura
instantly spoils to the point of inedibility as grain rots, meat spoils, milk sours, and
so forth regardless of measures taken to preserve such food (whether mundane or
magical). Even if eating directly off of a living creature, each mouthful taken turns
to inedible ash in a creature’s mouth. As a swift action, a Harbinger of endings can
quicken the hunger in any number of creatures he or she is aware of within this
range. All targets within range must make a Fortitude Save (DC 20 + Class level +
Cha mod) or become exhausted and take nonlethal damage equal to half of his or
her maximum hit points. No creature can be successfully affected in this way more
than once per 24 hours.
Aura of Pestilence: Upon selecting this aura, the Harbinger of endings selects a
disease from the list that a contagion spell can inflict. All creatures within this aura
must make a Fortitude Save each hour against a DC of 20 + Class level + Cha mod
in place of the normal DC for the disease or catch the disease. A new disease from
the list can be chosen as a swift action. All creatures with diseases in this aura have
the incubation periods of such diseases lowered to 1 hour and must make additional
saving throws every hour in place of every day. As a swift action, the Harbinger of
endings can inflict ability drain equal to his or her class level split however he or
she desires among the ability scores of creatures he or she is aware of within this
aura. This ability doesn’t permit a saving throw but no ability score can be reduced
below half of its original value in this way.
Aura of Death: Within the area of this aura, the maximum lifespan of all other
creatures are reduced by twice your class level (killing all creatures over this age)
and the hit point total at which point creatures die is increased by the same amount
(killing all creatures with hit points below this value and possibly increasing this
value to a positive number). As a swift action, the Harbinger can reap the souls of
any number of creatures who he or she is aware of having died within the aura
within the past round. Creatures with their souls so harnessed can’t be returned
from the dead by non-epic means. More importantly, each soul reaped in this way
grants a stacking +1 bonus to spellcraft checks until the end of the next round (this
bonus may not exceed the Harbinger’s class level x 10).
Twisted Servitude (Su): However much they would want to deny it, the very
machinations of outsiders slowly but surely work towards the end of all things. A
Harbinger of endings can forcefully remind outsiders of this truth, dragging them
kicking and screaming into his or her servitude until the energies of the end times
overwhelm them entirely. As a full-round action, the Harbinger of endings can
summon any one outsider with a CR equal or less than 13 + his or her class level
(regardless of its alignment). That creature is called anywhere within 100 ft. (so
long as that space is capable of supporting it) and obeys every order from the
Harbinger of endings, comprehending regardless of the language they are spoken
in. At the start of each round, however, that creature gains a negative level (even if
normally immune to them) that can’t be cured through any means as the outsider
rots away. This summoning lasts until the outsider is dead (it can’t be ended
prematurely) and the outsider doesn’t reform on its home plane when it dies in this
way, instead perishing permanently. After using this ability, a Harbinger of endings
can’t do so again for one hour. At 6th level and every 5 levels afterwards, this
ability can be used to call an additional outsider at the same time, so long as their
total CR doesn’t exceed the maximum.
Bonus Feats: At 3rd level and every 5 levels afterwards, a can select a single bonus
feat from the following list: Arcane Control*, Automatic Quicken Spell, Automatic
Silent Spell, Automatic Still Spell, Chorus of Entropy*, Diabolic Plot*, Drag to the
Grave*, Drain Life*, Elder Ward*, Enhance Spell, Epic Will, Eventual Return*,
Extended Lifespan, Fast Healing, Final End*, Godslayer*, Great Charisma, Great
Constitution, Great Intelligence, Great Wisdom, Improved Heighten Spell, Improved

Godslayer [Epic]
You can face even the divine with some chance of success.
Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +35 or ability to cast 12th level spells
Benefit: Deities attacking you never take 20 on their attack rolls. Against your
spells and abilities, deities never take 20 on their saving throws. Against you,
Deities lose their divine bonus to AC and Saving Throws. Lastly, you aren’t detected
by the remote sensing abilities or portfolio sense of deities and salient divine
abilities that create areas or that designate targets don’t affect you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Glimpse the End (Su): Starting at 4th level, a Harbinger of endings can give those
around him and her a short taste of what is yet to come as a standard action,
revealing the broken landscapes of the end times filled with the broken bodies of
the fallen and incomprehensible beings of apocalyptic might. Only creatures within
100 ft. of the Harbinger can perceive this world but it is not a simple illusion and
true seeing and similar effects do not see through it. All other creatures within
range must make a Fortitude save, Will save, and Reflex save. Creatures who fail
their Fortitude save are nauseated for 1d4+1 rounds. Creatures who fail their Will
saves are panicked for 1d4+1 rounds. Creatures who fail their Reflex Save take 5d6
damage/level as the creatures take note of them. Also, during this time, all other
creatures treat all squares within range as difficult terrain. At the Harbinger’s
option, he or she may grant any number of willing allies immunity to this ability,
though doing so renders the targets blind, deaf, and dazed for 1 round. This vision
of the end times only lasts for a single round. This ability can be used once per
encounter at 4th level and one additional time per encounter every 5 levels
afterwards.
Apocalyptic Might (Su): Starting at 5th level a Harbinger of endings can chain
together even the most powerful of magicks together in a show of apocalyptic
might, though doing so is not without dangers. A Harbinger of endings can cast two
epic spells with a casting time of 1 standard action as a single standard action. To
do so, make a single Spellcraft check against the higher spellcraft DC + 10. Even if
this check succeeds, however, there is a 50% chance that only the first epic spell
manifests. Whether this check succeeds or fails, the Harbinger immediately takes
damage equal to this DC x 5 (this damage can’t be negated, reduced, shared with
others, or turned into healing via destruction’s embrace). At 10th level and every 5
levels afterwards, a Harbinger of endings may cast an additional epic spell
simultaneously, though each spell after the first adds a + 10 bonus to the spellcraft
DC.
The Mastermind
Not all roads to power are equally visible. For every mountain-shattering spellcaster
and army-slaying warrior, there is someone of equal power who prefers to operate
behind the scenes. Among these hidden beings are masterminds, subtle casters
that work though illusions and charmed intermediaries while always remaining one
step ahead. Even when personally engaging in a matter of interest, masterminds
are gifted enough at bending the truth that their presence may never be properly
noticed. From the shadows, powerful masterminds can control entire civilizations or
enact other plans with such subtlety that not even dragons would pick up on them.
Though not all masterminds are evil and some even work in the name of the
greater good, even allies are often lead to keep an eye on a mastermind’s activities
just in case its next plot goes awry.

Epic Spellcasting: Even without the Epic Spellcaster feat, a mastermind can still
develop and cast epic spells using the compel, conceal, contact, delude, foresee,
reveal, slay, and/or transform seeds. For the purpose of developing epic spells with
these seeds (and only these seeds), costs in gold pieces and experience points are
halved.
Layered Truth (Ex): A mastermind is a master of deception, leading others from the
truth into even deeper deceptions. Whenever a creature succeeds on a sense
motive check to pierce through the bluff check of a mastermind, a spot check to
pierce through the disguise check of a mastermind, a forgery check to pierce
through the forgery check of a mastermind, or a Will save to disbelieve an illusion
of a mastermind by 10 points or fewer, the mastermind can have the target
interpret a false “truth” behind the situation of the mastermind’s choice. A creature
may recognize a forgery as having been written by another creature, for example,
or perceive another illusion hiding behind the first. The mastermind can only falsify
a single false “truth” for each illusion or skill check.
Each time this ability is used against a creature or that a creature simply fails on
such a skill check or saving throw against the mastermind, that target falls deeper
into the mind games of a mastermind and takes a stacking -2 penalty to such
checks and saves against the mastermind and his or her spells for 24 hours. At 6th
level and every 5 levels afterwards, the amount by which a creature may have
succeeded on their check or save while still being affected increases by +10.
Spells per Day/Spells Known: At each even mastermind level, the character gains
new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he or she had also gained
a level in an arcane spellcasting class to which he or she belonged before adding
the prestige class level. If already an epic spellcaster, the character gains only the
benefit noted under the Spells entry for that epic class. He or she does not,
however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If the
character had more than one arcane spellcasting class before becoming a
mastermind, the player must decide to which class to add the new level for the
purpose of determining spells per day.
Bonus Feats: At 3rd level and every 5 levels afterwards, a mastermind can select a
single bonus feat from the following list: Additional Magic Item Space, Always
Prepared*, Assess Defenses*, Combat Puppetry*, Diabolic Plot*, Epic Leadership,
Epic Reputation, Epic Skill Focus, Epic Spell Focus, Epic Spell Penetration, Epic
Stealth*, Epic Will, Extended Lifespan, False Positive*, Improved Combat Casting,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
New Feats
Sting of Betrayal[Epic]
You have a knack for inserting your weapon into the back of your supposed allies.
Prerequisites: Layered Truth III
Benefit: Whenever you attack a creature that is friendly, helpful, or fanatic towards
you or who is subjected to one of your charm or compulsion effects, your attack
automatically hits and is treated as a successful critical hit (if the target is immune
to critical hits, the attack simply hits).
Thrall [Epic]
You can extend the effects of a compulsion spell indefinitely.
Prerequisites: Layered Truth IV
Benefit: Whenever a creature fails its saving throw against a compulsion spell or
effect that you use, you can make that creature a thrall. Doing so extends the
maximum duration of the compulsion spell or effect indefinitely (though any
conditions that would normally end it prematurely, such as completing a
suggestion, still function). You may only have one thrall at a time and creating a
new one frees any previous thrall, ending the spell effect if it’s duration would have
normally expired.
Master of Enchantment[Epic]
You can make others act exactly as you would want them to with your impressive
powers.
Prerequisites: Ability to cast at least 2 7th-, 2 8th-, and 1 9th-level Enchantment
spell
Benefit: You can affect mindless creatures with your mind-affecting enchantment
spells, though only basic concepts can be conveyed and such targets gain a +10
bonus to their saving throw. A creature who succeeds on a saving throw against
one of your enchantment spells is unaware that they were ever targeted. Once per
encounter, you can force a single creature to follow your instructions for 1 round as
is dominated unless it succeeds on a Will Save (DC 10 + caster level + Intelligence
modifier).
Master of Illusion[Epic]
You can fool the senses of others with incredibly ease.
Prerequisites: Ability to cast at least 2 7th-, 2 8th-, and 1 9th-level Illusion spell
Benefit: You can affect mindless creatures with your mind-affecting illusion spells.
Touching an illusion you have that allows for saving throws to disbelieve does not
allow the target to automatically disbelieve as such illusions now create imagined
tactile sensations. Once per encounter, you can turn yourself or a creature within
100 ft. of yourself invisible for 1 round. While invisible, the target can’t be seen
through see invisibility or true seeing, is unaffected by glitterdust, faerie fire, and
invisibility purge, and can’t be detected by scent, blindsight, blindsense, or
tremorsense.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Mastermind’s Ward (Su): Starting at 4th level, a mastermind can defend him or
herself against divination and mind-affecting effects. Divination spells and effects
do not detect the mastermind, can’t be used to scry on the mastermind (and don’t
see the mastermind when scrying on his or her surroundings), and can’t be used to
learn about the mastermind. Even magic used by deities and epic spells using the
Foresee and/or Reveal seeds can’t be used in this way. Similarly, the mastermind
can’t be affected by mind-affecting effects (including epic spells using the compel
seed). At 9th level and every 5 levels afterwards, this ability can be shared with an
additional creature (willing or otherwise) through a 1 hour ritual. New targets can
replace old ones by repeating this ritual.
Omnimind
The strength of the mind, though incredibly vast, is left almost entirely untapped by
most of the population. While some utilize a fraction of this power through the
outlet of psionics, they remain woefully unaware of their true potential. Only once
or twice in each generation does a being manage to break through the limitations of
their own mind, accessing the vast stores of power held within the collective
unconsciousness of all living beings. These beings, referred to as omniminds,
possess mental powers guided by the entirety of all thoughts.
Hit Die: d6
Prerequisites: To qualify to become an Omnimind , a character must meet all of the
following criteria
Skills: Knowledge (Psionics) 23 ranks, Psicraft 23 ranks
Powers: Ability to manifest 5th-level powers.
Feats: Any four psionic feats

10th +5 Psionic Master (2)
+1 level of existing manifesting class
Powers Known: At each omnimind level , he or she gains additional power points
per day and access to new powers as if he or she had also gained a level in
whatever manifesting class he or she belonged to before he or she added the
prestige class level. The omnimind does not, however, gain any other benefit a
character of that class would have gained (bonus feats, metapsionic or item
creation feats, psicrystal special abilities, and so on). If a character had more than
one manifesting class before he or she became an omnimind, he or she must decide
to which class he or she adds the new level of omnimind for the purpose of
determining power points per day, powers known, and manifester level.
Mental Prowess (Su): Omniminds are masters of mentalism, possessing psychic
talent that dwarves others. He or she may regain his or her psionic focus once per
round as a free action and is immune to mind affecting effects while he or she
possesses psionic focus. In addition, the omnimind gains telepathy out to 50
feet/class level and can detect and pinpoint all non-mindless creatures within this
range. Lastly, the omnimind need not possess a line of sight or line of effect with a
creature detected in this way so long as it remains in range of the power.
Flowing Augmentation (Su): Drawing upon the collective consciousness of all beings
for psychic energy, omniminds can save their own supply of psychic power for when
it truly matters. Whenever an omnimind manifests a power, he or she may spend
the power points of a willing ally within 100 feet rather than spending his or her
own. Furthermore, whenever he or she manifests a power, he or she gains 4
temporary power points that can only be used to augment that power and are
immediately lost if not used for this purpose. At 6th level and every 5 levels
afterwards, the number of temporary power points increases by +4.
Mind over Matter (Su): While many omniminds may appear frail at first glance, they
can absorb a great deal of harm through nothing more than raw will power.
Starting at 2nd level, whenever an omnimind would take hit point damage, he or
she may choose to divide the amount of damage by 2 and subtract it from his or
her remaining power points instead of hit points. If the omnimind doesn’t possess
enough power points to negate the damage in this way, this ability can’t be used.
At 7th level and every 5 levels afterwards, increase the amount by which the
damage is first divided by + 1.
Bonus Feats: At 3rd level and every 5 levels afterwards, an omnimind can select a
single bonus feat from the following list: Aggressive Psychokinesis*, Assume
Mantle*, Astral Master*, Discern Intentions*, Discern Thoughts*, Epic Expanded
Knowledge, Epic Psionic Focus, Epic Will, Exceed Limitations*, Extended Lifespan,
Extra Augments*, Great Charisma, Great Intelligence, Great Wisdom, Improved
Body Fuel*, Improved Combat Manifestation*, Improved Manifestation, Improved
Metapsionics, Improved Mind Over Body*, Improved Wild Surge*, Intensify Power*,
Overrule Power*, Pierce Mind*, Power Knowledge, Psicrystal Power, Quick
Psychoportation*, Reactive Psychometabolism*, Subtle Telepathy*, Superior
Cognizance*, True Clairsentience*, Web of Metacreativity*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
New Feats
Collective Consciousness (Su): Tapping into the universal consciousness that all
thinking beings possess, an omnimind can target a vast number of creatures with a
single psionic power. Starting at 4th level, once per encounter, an omnimind may
expend his or her psionic focus to manifest a power with a single target and a range
other than personal while targeting any number of creatures within range. If that
power possesses an XP cost, it is paid for each target. At 9th level and every 5
levels afterwards, this ability can be used an additional time per encounter.
Psionic Master (Ex): Starting at 5th level, an omnimind can manipulate far greater
psionics than most other manifesters. An omnimind can manifest an additional epic
power each day, plus one additional epic power at 10th level and every 5 levels
afterwards.
Scion of Sorrow
Many in the world assume that power brings only happiness, assuming that those
of exceptional strength and riches can reverse or mitigate any woes that would
trouble them. Though often the case, this is not always true. Some beings of
exceptional power, after having brought themselves to ruin, are simply shattered
under the weight of their broken hearts and dreams. Transformed and empowered
by this bottomless sense of loss and longing, scions of sorrow are beings of true
and irreversible finality, capable of wreaking havoc or bettering the world in ways
that no one can ever reverse. Fortunately for many in the multiverse, scions of
sorrow are exceptionally rare. Beyond the scarcity of such tragedy needed to fuel
the transition, the first act of most scions is one of irreversible self-destruction.
Hit Die: d8
Prerequisites: To qualify to become a Scion of Sorrow, a character must meet all of
the following criteria:
ECL: 20 or higher
Special: Must have accidentally brought great tragedy to oneself in a way that the
character has yet to fix or reverse.
Class Skills: Any ten of the Scion of Sorrow’s choice
Skill Points at Each Level: 4 + Int modifier

9th +9 Blade of Broken Dreams 2/encounter
--
10th +10 Unending Existence II
+1 level of existing spellcasting class
Class Features: The following are class features of the Scion of Sorrow.
Epic Spellcasting: Even without the Epic Spellcasting feat, a scion of sorrow can still
develop and cast epic spells using any four seeds of his or her choice seeds. For the
purpose of developing epic spells with these seeds (and only these seeds), costs in
gold pieces and experience points are halved. If the scion of sorrow doesn’t cast
spells, he or she uses his or her highest ability score modifier to determine epic
spell save DCs.
Spells per Day/Spells Known: At each even scion of sorrow level, the character
gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he or she had also
gained a level in a spellcasting class to which he or she belonged before adding the
prestige class level. If already an epic spellcaster, the character gains only the
benefit noted under the Spells entry for that epic class. He or she does not,
however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If the
character had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a scion of sorrow,
the player must decide to which class to add the new level for the purpose of
determining spells per day.
Entity of Loss (Ex): Whatever troubles torment a scion of sorrow’s past, the feelings
of sorrow and regret they evoke change the scion on a fundamental level. A scion
of sorrow no longer possesses a soul and is immune to spells and effects that would
alter, move, trap the scion’s soul or that would allow a creature possess the scion’s
body. The scion of sorrow can only be restored from the dead through a wish or
miracle effect. A scion of sorrow ceases to age and is immune to lethal damage
from dehydration or starvation (though these effects can still knock the scion
unconscious).
What’s Done is Done (Su): The greatest power (or curse) that a Scion of Sorrow
possesses is the ability to irrevocably alter the world. A Scion of Sorrow may choose
to render any event he or she is directly responsible for irrevocable as that event
concludes (thus, the scion may choose the make the fall of a kingdom irrevocable
as his or her forces finally make it fall or may make the death of a king irrevocable
as the king dies [so long as the scion of sorrow is responsible for the death]). That
event is entirely irrevocable through mundane and magical means. Not even epic
magic, artifacts, or the work of gods can undo what has been wrought and attempts
to change the past fail. If the event that a scion of sorrow wishes to make
irrevocable is not as the scion suspects (such as if he or she wishes to make a
king’s death irrevocable but only slays a body double), the scion learns that things
are not as they seem and may choose not to use this ability.
At 1st level, the tragedy that the scion of sorrow has brought upon him or herself to
allow access into this class is rendered irrevocable in this way and the scion of
sorrow may render an additional event irrevocable at any time. At 6th level and
every 5 levels afterwards, a scion of sorrow may render two additional events
irrevocable. Once an event has been declared irrevocable, that use of this class
feature is forever lost. Uses of this ability not used by the time it is gained again
carry over.
Futility (Su): Starting at 2nd level, a scion of sorrow can foil just about any action
that an enemy can undertake. Once per round, a scion of sorrow can grant a
creature a 50% miss chance with a single attack roll, a 50% failure chance with a
single spell, or a penalty equal to twice his or her class level to a single skill check.
Only enemies within 30 feet of the scion of sorrow can be targeted in this way and
he or she gains an additional use per round at 7th level and every 5 levels
afterwards.
Bonus Feats: At 3rd level and every 5 levels afterwards, a can select a single bonus
feat from the following list: Beyond Prediction*, Burden of Life*, Claim Calamity,
Claim Woes*, Crush Will*, Damage Reduction, Epic Prowess, Epic Reputation, Epic
Skill Focus, Epic Will, Fast Healing, Glimpse of Solace*, Great Charisma, Great
Constitution, Great Strength, Great Wisdom, Improved Spell Capacity, Numbed to
Affliction*, Refuge of Dreams, Share the Pain*, Tortured Psyche*, Wield the
Shattered Blade*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
New Feats
Blade of Broken Dreams (Su): Starting at 4th level, a scion of sorrow can forever
part a creature from its ambitions, severing it from its dreams with raw might. Once
per encounter, a scion may make a declare a single attack to be made with his or
her blade of broken dreams (the blade is metaphorical in nature and the attack may
be made with any sort of weaponry or even with a spell). If the attack hits, the
target must make a Will save (DC 20 + Class level + Cha modifier). If the target
succeeds, it is merely nauseated for 1 round in addition to all normal damage and
effects. If the target fails, however, the target is nauseated for 1d4 rounds and is
doomed never to achieve its greatest desire (at the time of the attack) for as long
as the scion of sorrow lives. Desires involving basic biological needs (such as the
desire of a devastation vermin to eat) and specific desires to kill the scion of sorrow
aren’t affected in this way. Similarly, any hit point damage the attack deals can’t be
healed for as long as the scion lives if the target fails its Will save. This ability can
be used an additional time per encounter at 9th level and every 5 levels afterwards.
Unending Existence (Su): Just as the emotions that fuel a scion’s powers allow him
or her to leave permanent marks on the world, so too do these powers transform
the Scion into a permanent feature of the world. Starting at 5th level, a scion of
sorrow can no longer be slain through hit point damage. No matter how his or her
body is mangled (even if the body is destroyed or reduced to dust), the scion of
sorrow continues living and regrows body parts (including heads or entire bodies if
necessary) as if he or she possessed regeneration. While at or under -10 hit points,
the scion falls unconscious even if he or she possesses diehard or a similar feat,
ability, or spell effect and can be slain with a miracle or wish effect. The scion of
power can’t be affected by spells and abilities of the healing subschool while in this
state unless the spell would normally restore the dead to life (in which case they
function normally on the scion even though he or she wasn’t truly dead), and the
scion gains fast healing 10 while in this state. After this fast healing has restored at
least 20 hit points/class level, you lose this fast healing (although you continue heal
naturally) until you spend 2 hours in self-reflection. At 10th level and every 5 levels
afterwards, the value of this fast healing increases by an additional 10 points and
the maximum amount you can heal before needing to recharge this class feature
increases by 20 hit points/class level.
Temporal Wanderer
Most individuals live their entire lives with only the dimmest notion that other
planes of existence are out there, never straying too far from their homes. More
powerful beings, such as adventurers, are known to travel across these planes with
great regularity. Even with the commonality of planar travel available, however,
there remains one form of travel that few even consider. Temporal Wanderers are
those who have received some small taste of temporal energies, knocking them
free from their normal temporal alignment. Granted awareness of the past, of the
future, and of alternate timelines, Temporal Wanderers act in ways that often
befuddle those around them but that tend to work out for the best. Whatever their
goals and ambitions may be, Temporal Wanderers are always one step ahead.

Class Features: The following are class features of the Temporal Wanderer.
Epic Spellcasting: Even without the Epic Spellcaster feat, a temporal wanderer can
still develop and cast epic spells using the banish, destroy, dispel, foresee, heal,
reveal, transport, and/or summon seeds. For the purpose of developing epic spells
with these seeds (and only these seeds), costs in gold pieces and experience points
are halved. A temporal wanderer casting an epic spell with these seeds (and only
these seeds) need not make a Spellcraft Check if the DC is equal or lower than 20
+ (Class Level x 2). Unless a temporal wanderer has sufficient ranks in a skill to
gain more slots per day, a temporal wanderer gains a number of epic spell slots per
day equal to his or her effective character level / 20. If the temporal wanderer
doesn’t cast spells, he or she uses his or her highest ability score modifier to
determine epic spell save DCs.
Eternal Wanderer (Su): A temporal wanderer is aware of all timelines branching out
from his or her present, future, and past. As a result, the temporal wanderer gains
an insight bonus to all skill checks, saving throws, and attack rolls equal to half of
his or her class level + 1. A temporal wanderer never ages, is never caught flat-
footed, and always acts first in initiative (if multiple temporal wanderers are in the
same encounter, they still roll initiative amongst themselves to decide their order),
even acting first on surprise rounds.
Confer with the Future (Su): Starting at 1st level, a temporal wanderer can turn to
his future selves for guidance, looking forward along the varying timelines that
branch out once a specific decision has been made. As a swift action, the temporal
wanderer can learn whether taking a specific action will have good results, bad
results, good and bad results, or neither good nor bad results. Though the future
selves the temporal wanderer turns to for advice have no reason to lie to him, even
the smallest of decisions made afterwards may change how things unfold and there
is only a 90% chance that the temporal wanderer will hear from the timeline he is
destined to take past that point (otherwise the temporal wanderer receives an
answer at random). A temporal wanderer may not check the results of taking a
single action more than once. A temporal wanderer can reach himself up to one
week into the future at 1st level and one additional week further at 6th level and
every 5 levels afterwards
Delay the Inevitable (Su): Starting at 2nd level, a temporal wanderer can delay
harm and death if necessary. As an immediate action, the temporal wanderer can
prevent all damage that either him or herself or an ally who the temporal wanderer
can see within 30 feet would take for the next 5 rounds. Any effects that would
target the affected creature are likewise delayed during this time, though attack
rolls and saving throws are made immediately as normal. At the end of these 5
rounds, all damage and effects that have been delayed immediately catch up with
the affected creature. While delaying damage and effects using this ability, such
damage and effects can be healed in advance as appropriate. This ability can be
used once per encounter at 2nd level and once more per encounter at 7th level and
every 5 levels afterwards.
Spells per Day/Spells Known: At each even temporal wanderer level, the character
gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he or she had also
gained a level in a spellcasting class to which he or she belonged before adding the
prestige class level. If already an epic spellcaster, the character gains only the
benefit noted under the Spells entry for that epic class. He or she does not,
however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If the
character had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a temporal
wanderer, the player must decide to which class to add the new level for the
purpose of determining spells per day.
Bonus Feats: At 3rd level and every 5 levels afterwards, a temporal wanderer can
select a single bonus feat from the following list: Advantageous Divergence*,
Blinding Speed, Change the Past*, Damage Reduction, Epic Prowess, Epic Skill
Focus, Eye to the Past*, Fast Healing, Freeze Foes*, Frequent Delays*, Improved
Spell Capacity, Indefinite Delay*, Into the Future*, Know Vulnerabilities*, Spell
Stowaway, Spring of Youth*, Superior Initiative, Think Ahead*, Time Heals All*,
Wild Card*.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
New Feats
Stretch Time (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a temporal wanderer seems to perceive
time as travelling at a slower rate, allowing them to get more done in less time. A
temporal wanderer gains an extra move action each round plus an additional extra
move action at 9th level and every 5 levels afterwards. Any number of move
actions gained in this way can be sacrificed to instead gain half as many extra
standard actions that round (rounded down).
Browse Timelines (Su): Starting at 5nd level, a temporal wanderer can often select
the best of multiple destinies. At the start of the temporal wanderer’s action, the
wanderer may choose to take two sets of actions. Rather than occurring in a row,
however, these actions occur separately and simultaneously. At the end of the
action, a temporal wanderer selects one set of actions taken and the others never
occur as the alternate timeline is abandoned. The temporal wanderer is aware of
what happens in each of the separate timelines but all others are only aware of
what occurs in the main timeline. At 10th level and every 5 levels afterwards, a
temporal wanderer can choose to take up to one additional set of actions.
Unmage
When dealing with meddlesome or dangerous mages, many believe that the only
solution is to bring in another, allied mage. In this respect, many are sorely
mistaken. A few gifted individuals, known as unmages, have gained the ability to
counter, unravel, and simply ignore magic in their environments. Some unmages
oppose magic in all of its forms and unravel “unnatural” influences wherever they
are found. On the opposite end of the spectra, some unmages are abjurers who
have simply perfected the art of cancelling magic around them. Whether an
unmage reserves their abilities for self-protection or actively fights others who use
magic, the current location of unmages on a given plane is invaluable information
both for those who would abuse magic and for those who would stop them.
Hit Die: d8
Prerequisites: To qualify to become an Unmage, a character must meet all of the
following criteria
Skills: Knowledge (arcana) OR Use Magic Device 23 ranks
Feat: Combat Reflexes OR Improved Counterspell
Spellcasting: Must possess no non-epic spellcasting ability above 4th level spells OR
be able to cast 9th level abjuration spells, including mage’s disjunction.

Epic Spellcasting: Even without the Epic Spellcaster feat, an unmage can still
develop and cast epic spells using the banish, dispel, reflect, and/or reveal seeds.
For the purpose of developing epic spells with these seeds (and only these seeds),
costs in gold pieces and experience points are halved. An unmage may use his or
her ranks in use magic device to determine his or her epic spell slots per day.
Furthermore, he or she may use his or her ranks in either use magic device or
knowledge (arcana) in place of his or her ranks in spellcraft when making a
spellcraft check to cast an epic spell. If the Unmage doesn’t cast spells, he or she
uses his or her highest ability score modifier to determine epic spell save DCs.
Unravel Dweomers (Su): As a swift action, an unmage may unravel magic around
them, functioning as a mage’s disjunction spell with a caster level equal to his or
her class level + 20 with a few adjustments. The radius of the burst is limited to 10
feet/class level, the unmage may exempt any number of magic items or spell
effects that he or she is aware of, and epic spells, antimagic fields, and minor
artifacts are subjected to this effect with 100% accuracy (though artifacts are
permitted a saving throw). The Save DC of this ability is 20 + Class level + the
unmage’s Cha modifier. Although this ability is supernatural in nature, it can be
utilized freely within an antimagic field.
True Counterspell (Su): Once per round, as a free action, an unmage can interfere
with another creature they possess a line of effect with as they attempt to cast a
spell or spell-like ability. The unmage makes an opposed spellcraft check against
the caster and if the unmage succeeds, the casting is foiled and the spell or spell
slot is expended as normal. For every 5 points by which the unmage succeeds on
this check, the caster may not cast spells or spell-like abilities for 1 round
afterwards. This ability can be used once per encounter at 2nd level and an
additional time per encounter every 5 levels afterwards.
Bonus Feats: At 3rd level and every 5 levels afterwards, an unmage can select a
single bonus feat from the following list: Anchoring Aura*, Antimagic Burst*, Armor
Skin, Blinding Speed, Conceal Mind*, Countermage*, Counterspike*, Damage
Reduction, Dimensional Aura*, Dismiss Outsiders*, Energy Resistance, Epic
Avoidance*, Epic Fortitude, Epic Reflex, Epic Skill Focus, Epic Speed, Epic

Counterspike [Epic]
You can harm a creature simply by countering its spells.
Prerequisites: True Counterspell 1/encounter, Mystic Feedback
Benefits: You benefit from your mystic feedback spell whenever you successfully
counter a target’s spell with your true counterspell class feature.
Countermage [Epic]
Your training as a spellcaster and as an unmage has taught you how to fight other
spellcasters.
Prerequisites: Unravel Dweomers, the ability to cast 9th-level spells
Benefits: Select one spellcasting class you possess levels in. You add your unmage
level as a bonus to your caster level when casting spells gained by virtue of levels
in that class. Furthermore, you gain a bonus spell slot of each spell level that you
possess access to in the chosen class. These spell slots can only be used for
counterspelling.
Spell Immunity (Su): It is rare that spells can ever even faze an unmage. Starting
at 4th level, the first time each round that an unmage is targeted by a spell or finds
himself in the area of a spell, that spell treats the unmage as not being there.
Damaging spells fail to damage them, divination spells fail to detect them, and even
area effects made to contain an unmage like forcecage can be seen and walked
though by the unmage as if it weren’t even there. This ability extends to the next
spell that the unmage is targeted with each round at 9th level and every 5 levels
afterwards. An unmage can lower or resume this protection as a free action.
Unreal
What is reality? That is a question that has baffled scholars since the dawn of time.
Built with laws and woven with magic that contradict these laws at every turn, the
nature of reality is often inscrutable. Even the more common philosophical answers
are stifled by the existence of illusions. Are illusions real, one might ask. Though
certainly not what they appear to be, it remains unclear whether they exist at all.
Formed from common perceptions locked in space, one must wonder whether it
persists when none are around to observe it. The greatest practitioners of illusion
often claim that these illusions persist. Whether we can take their claim seriously,
however, is another matter. After all, these same practitioners cast the rest of
existence into doubt. These practitioners, known as the unreal, blur the line
between the real and imagined.

Epic Spellcasting: Even without the Epic Spellcaster feat, an unreal can still develop
and cast epic spells using the animate, compel, conceal, contact, delude, dispel,
reveal, and/or transport seeds. For the purpose of developing epic spells with these
seeds (and only these seeds), costs in gold pieces and experience points are
halved.
All An Illusion (Su): From the perspective of the unreal, everything else is one giant
illusion. As a standard action, the unreal may select an object or creature of up to
gargantuan size and attempt a Will save (DC 20 + 1 per previous attemnpt) to
disbelieve it. If successful, both that object and the unreal treat each other as
though they were incorporeal for 1 minute. Furthermore, the unreal can see
through the object like a foiled illusion and the target, if a creature, can see
through the unreal. By spending one hour in self-reflection or study, the Save DC is
reset to 20.
Actualize (Su): When the unreal weave illusions, they can sometimes be carried
over into the physical world. Whenever an unreal casts an illusion spell or spell-like
ability that allows a will save to disbelieve, the unreal can choose to actualize the
illusion. An actualized illusion gains physical presence for the effects duration,
receiving an appropriate tactile component and exerting the proper amount of
weight as well as gaining damage reduction, hardness, and/or natural armor as
appropriate for the nature of the illusion. Furthermore, an actualized illusion allows
for no saving throw to disbelieve. Even so, an actualized illusion is incapable of
dealing damage. If the illusion of a creature is created in this way, it loses all
special attacks and special qualities of the base creature and possesses no mental
ability scores (and thus possesses no ranks or feats) but otherwise possesses the
stats of the creature.
At 1st level, the undreal may possess a single actualized illusion at a time. At 6th
level and every 5 levels afterwards, an additional illusion can be actualized.
Attempting to actualize an illusion beyond this limit results in one previously
actualized illusion of the unreal’s choice becoming illusory. Illusory spaces and
passages created in this way can’t be accessed.
Disbelieve Harm (Su): Starting at 2nd level, once per round, when the unreal would
take damage, he or she may make a Will save (DC = damage dealt). If successful,
the damage is completely negated. At 7th level and every 5 levels afterwards, this
ability can be used an additional time per round.
Spells per Day/Spells Known: At each even unreal level, the character gains new
spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he or she had also gained a
level in a spellcasting class to which he or she belonged before adding the prestige
class level. If already an epic spellcaster, the character gains only the benefit noted
under the Spells entry for that epic class. He or she does not, however, gain any
other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If the character had more
than one spellcasting class before becoming an unreal, the player must decide to
which class to add the new level for the purpose of determining spells per day.
Bonus Feats: At 3rd level and every 5 levels afterwards, a can select a single bonus
feat from the following list: Automatic Silent Spell, Automatic Still Spell, Awaken
Fiction*, Delayed Actualization*, Disbelieve Spells*, Disbelieve Weaponry*, Epic
Will, Extended Control*, Extended Lifespan, Great Charisa, Great Intelligence,
Great Wisdom, Improved Combat Casting, Improved Spell Capacity, Infallible
Illusion*, Lethal Illusion*, Master of Illusion*, Partial Illusion*, Pierce Illusion*,
Reverse-Illusion*, Strengthen Spell, Sudden Actualization*, Tenacious Magic
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*New Feats
Reverse-Illusion [Epic]
You have found away to mask reality as an illusion.
Prerequisites: Fictionalize II.
Benefit: When you fictionalize a creature, you may choose to simply mask that
creature as an illusion rather than transform it into a full illusion (such a creature
still counts towards the limit of your fictionalize class feature). Anyone who
interacts with such a creature perceives that creature as a mere illusion as though
they had succeeded on a Will save against a figment unless they succeed on a Will
save (DC 20 + Unreal level + Int modifier). Anyone harmed by an affected creature
automatically succeeds on this saving throw.
Fictionalize (Su): Just as the unreal can force illusions into reality, so too can he or
she consign reality into illusion. Starting at 4th level, as a full-round action, an
unreal can force a single creature to make a Will save (DC 20 + Class Level + Int
modifier) or become a mere illusion (as permanent image). At 4th level, the unreal
can only fictionalize one creature at a time. At 9th level and every 5 levels
afterwards, the unreal may fictionalize another creature at once. Fictionalizing
another creature beyond this limit frees a previously fictionalized creature.
Likewise, dispelling or dismissing these illusions results in the real creature
returning into existence.
Sensory Control (Su): At the peak of his or her power, the unreal can directly
control what others perceive in the world around them. Starting at 5th level, so
long as the unreal concentrates, he or she can create a separate set of visual,
audio, olfactory, and thermal information that takes the place of a target’s normal
perceptions for any number of target creatures. The area in which the unreal can
control senses is limited to 50 ft. but creatures within this area can have their
perceptions of more distant objects or creatures altered. The unreal is free to add,
remove, or alter features of the environment as he or she sees fit. Any creature
who interacts with the environment or who notes discrepencies within it is
permitted a Will save (DC 20 + Class Level + Int modifier) to disbelieve this
illusion. Once the illusion has been disbelieved, creatures are immune to this ability
from that unreal for the next 24 hours. At 10th level and every 5 levels afterwards,
the unreal may create an additional set of perceptions to subject any number of
targets to when using this ability. One creature may receive any or all sets of
perceptions depending on the whims of the unreal. This effect is a phantasm and
can be pierced with a true seeing effect but can’t be affected by the unreal’s
actualize class feature.
Veneficus Optima
Even among the most prodigious of sorcerers and skilled of archmages, there are
yet names spoken of in whispers of fear and awe. Known as veneficus optima,
some arcane casters have unlocked unparalleled insights into the nature of magic
itself. Weaving even epic spells with mind-bogging ease, even a single veneficus
optima holds the potential to disrupt activity in entire regions or even entire worlds.

Class Features: The following are class features of the Veneficus Optima.
Epic Spellcasting: A veneficus optima gains epic spellcasting as a bonus feat even if
he or she doesn’t meet its prerequisites.
Spells per Day/Spells Known: At each veneficus optima level, the character gains
new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he or she had also gained
a level in an arcane spellcasting class to which he or she belonged before adding
the prestige class level. If already an epic spellcaster, the character gains only the
benefit noted under the Spells entry for that epic class. He or she does not,
however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If the
character had more than one arcane spellcasting class before becoming a veneficus
optima, the player must decide to which class to add the new level for the purpose
of determining spells per day.
True Arcanist: A veneficus When a veneficus optima cast a non-epic spell with a
casting time of 1 standard action or less, he or she can cast it as a supernatural
ability instead of as a spell. After doing so a number of times equal to the veneficus
optima’s class level, he or she can’t do so again until he or she meditates for 1
hour.
Multispell: Once per round, a veneficus optima can cast a non-epic arcane spell with
a casting time of 1 standard action or less as a free action. At 6th level and every 5
levels afterwards, this ability can be used one additional time per round.
Efficient Researcher (Ex): A veneficus optima can develop epic spells in ways that
others could only dream of, regularly making intuitive leaps that a normal mage
would take days to figure out. Starting at 2nd level, when developing an epic spell,
the process takes 1 day less (to a minimum of 1 day), 2,000 fewer experience
points (to a minimum of 360 xp), and 50,000 fewer gold pieces (to a minimum of
9,000 gp). These bonuses are doubled at 7th level, tripled at 12th level, and so
forth.
Bonus Feats: At 3rd level and every 5 levels afterwards, a Veneficus Optima can
select a single bonus feat from the following list: Automatic Quicken Spell,
Automatic Silent Spell, Automatic Still Spell, Enhance Spell, Epic Spell Focus, Epic
Spell Penetration, Epic Spellbook*, Epic Will, Extended Life Span, Familiar Spell,
Godslayer*, Great Charisma, Great Intelligence, Ignore Material Components,
Improved Combat Casting, Improved Heighten Spell, Improved Metamagic,
Improved Spell Capacity, Improved Spell Resistance, Intensify Spell, Master of
Abjuration*, Master of Conjuration*, Master of Divination*, Master of
Enchantment*, Master of Evocation*, Master of Illusion*, Master of Necromancy*,
Master of Transmutation*, Multispell, Permanent Emanation, Selective Spell*, Spell
Knowledge, Spell Opportunity, Spell Stowaway, Spontaneous Spell, Spontaneous
Spell Knowledge*, Superior Counterspell*, Superior Spellcaster*, Tenacious Magic

New Feats
Godslayer [Epic]
You can face even the divine with some chance of success.
Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +35 or ability to cast 12th level spells
Benefits: Deities attacking you never take 20 on their attack rolls. Against your
spells and abilities, deities never take 20 on their saving throws. Against you,
Deities lose their divine bonus to AC and Saving Throws. Lastly, you aren’t detected
by the remote sensing abilities or portfolio sense of deities and salient divine
abilities that create areas or that designate targets don’t affect you.
Master of Enchantment[Epic]
You can make others act exactly as you would want them to with your impressive
powers.
Prerequisites: Ability to cast at least 2 7th-, 2 8th-, and 1 9th-level Enchantment
spell
Benefits: You can affect mindless creatures with your mind-affecting enchantment
spells, though only basic concepts can be conveyed and such targets gain a +10
bonus to their saving throw. A creature who succeeds on a saving throw against
one of your enchantment spells is unaware that they were ever targeted. Once per
encounter, you can force a single creature to follow your instructions for 1 round as
is dominated unless it succeeds on a Will Save (DC 10 + caster level + Intelligence
modifier).
Master of Evocation[Epic]
You blast targets into dust with your control over the fundamental energies of
existence.
Prerequisites: Ability to cast at least 2 7th-, 2 8th-, and 1 9th-level Evocation spell
Benefits: All evocation spells you cast ignore spell resistance and energy resistance
and deal half damage even against creatures immune to the relevant form of
energy. Once per encounter, you can choose a form of energy and deal 1d6
damage/caster level of that form of energy to a target within 100 feet, or half of
that if they succeed on a Reflex Save (DC 10 + caster level + Intelligence
modifier).
Master of Illusion[Epic]
You can fool the senses of others with incredibly ease.
Prerequisites: Ability to cast at least 2 7th-, 2 8th-, and 1 9th-level Illusion spell
Benefits: You can affect mindless creatures with your mind-affecting illusion spells.
Touching an illusion you have that allows for saving throws to disbelieve does not
allow the target to automatically disbelieve as such illusions now create imagined
tactile sensations. Once per encounter, you can turn yourself or a creature within
100 feet of yourself invisible for 1 round. While invisible, the target can’t be seen
through see invisibility or true seeing, is unaffected by glitterdust, faerie fire, and
invisibility purge, and can’t be detected by scent, blindsight, blindsense, or
tremorsense.
Practiced Metamagic (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a veneficus optima can add
metamagic to arcane spells with great efficiency. Whenever casting a non-epic
arcane spell, the veneficus optima may add any number of metamagic effects who
in total would raise the spell’s level by up to +4 without increasing its spell level or
casting time. At 9th level and every 5 levels afterwards, the veneficus optima can
add another four levels of metamagic effects to each spell they cast.
Master of the Arcane (Ex): Starting at 5th level, a veneficus optima can manipulate
far greater magics than most other arcane casters. A veneficus optima can cast an
additional epic spell each day, plus one additional such spell at 10th level and every
5 levels afterwards.
Venerated Sage
Knowledge is power. Though there are many ways to obtain knowledge, everyone
from the lowest of farmhands to the greatest of archmages is forced to bow before
this simple truism. Sentient beings of any great power, in the process of gaining
that strength, almost inevitably garner a rich store of information from his or her
travels. Those who make it a point to study, however, go far further than this.
Utilizing vast archives of knowledge and delving deeper with divination over the
course of a lifetime, certain sages make it a point to learn as much as possible.
These repositories of knowledge, frequently refered to as venerated sage, are
revered (and sometimes feared) for their knowledge wherever they travel.

Class Features: The following are class features of the venerated sage.
Epic Spellcasting: Even without the Epic Spellcaster feat, a venerated sage can still
develop and cast epic spells using the banish, compel, contact, dispel, foresee,
reveal, transport, and/or ward seeds. For the purpose of developing epic spells with
these seeds (and only these seeds), costs in gold pieces and experience points are
halved.
Master of Knowledge (Ex): All venerated sages are known for the vast supply of
knowledge that they have acquired. These sages may make Knowledge checks
untrained and gains a bonus to all knowledge checks equal to his or her class level
x 5. Furthermore, a venerated sage remembers his or her entire life in perfect
detail and is immune to all spells and effects that would remove, alter, or allow
access to his or her thoughts or memories. Lastly, your extensive knowledge of the
world aids with your divination spells and effects. All divination spells you cast that
rely on or benefit from knowledge of, nearness to, and/or a connection with a
specific target (such as discern location, legend lore, and scrying) grant you the
maximum possible results for any target (a legend lore spell, for example, will
always reveal full legends). Any non-epic divination spell with a casting time over 1
minute has its casting time reduced to 1 minute.
Combat Evaluation (Ex): While venerated sages are known for collecting vast
quantities of knowledge, they are more than capable of applying this knowledge on
the battlefield. As a move action, a venerated sage can review all that he or she
knows about a single creature he or she can see or hear before coming up with the
most appropriate response. Until the end of the encounter or until this ability is
used again, the venerated sage gains a +8 insight bonus to attack rolls against the
target, to AC against the target’s attacks, to saving throws against spells and
abilities of the target, and to opposed rolls against the target until the end of the
encounter. Against other creatures of the target’s race (and sub-race, if applicable),
these bonuses are halved. If the venerated sage chooses to use this ability as a
full-round action, he or she can announce his or her conclusions aloud and any ally
who can hear and understand him or her gains half of these benefits for the same
duration (the sage still gains full benefits). At 6th level and every 5 levels
afterwards, the bonus granted (before halving) increases by +4.
Bonus Spells Known: A venerated sage knows much of the ways of magic, learning
spells much faster than many others. At each odd level, a venerated sage may add
any single spell from any class list to his or her spellbook, list of spells known, or
spell list. These spells, if recorded to scrolls or spellbooks (or prayerbooks), can't be
copied into other spellbooks or prayerbooks.
Prepare for Everything (Ex): Starting at 2th level, venerated sages always seem
prepared for almost any possibility. As a swift action, a venerated sage may ready a
single move or standard action. At 7th level and every 5 levels afterwards, the
venerated sage may ready an additional action as part of his or her swift action. No
matter how many actions a venerated sage readies in a single round, he or she
may only actually take one.
Spells per Day/Spells Known: At each even venerated sage level, the character
gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he or she had also
gained a level in a spellcasting class to which he or she belonged before adding the
prestige class level. If already an epic spellcaster, the character gains only the
benefit noted under the Spells entry for that epic class. He or she does not,
however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If the
character had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a venerated sage,
the player must decide to which class to add the new level for the purpose of
determining spells per day.
Bonus Feats: At 3rd level and every 5 levels afterwards, a venerated sage can
select a single bonus feat from the following list: Adaptable Preparations*, Always
Prepared*, Analyze Item*, Educated Dungeoneer*, Epic Reputation, Epic Skill
Focus, Extended Lifespan, Gifted Cartographer*, Great Charisma, Great
Intelligence, Great Wisdom, Improved Combat Casting, Improved Metamagic,
Improved Spell Capacity, Maddening Truth*, Master of Divination*, Masterful

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
New Feats
Soothsayer [Epic]
Your senses sometimes extend into the future.
Prerequisites: Uncanny Senses 50 ft.
Benefit: As a standard action, you may use augury as a spell-like ability (Caster
Level 20). After using this ability, you lose the benefits of your uncanny senses
class feature for 30 minutes.
Urbanite [Epic]
You are exceedingly knowledgeable regarding local matters.
Prerequisites: Knowledge (Local) 23 ranks, Master of Knowledge
Benefit: If you can see or possess a detailed description of a settlement, you know
exactly where all services, features, and districts are located in relation to each
other. Furthermore, you may communicate basic messages with sentient creatures
who don’t share a language with yourself.
Uncanny Senses (Su): Starting at 4th level, a venerated sage learns how to peer
out into the world and see things as they truly are. Listen and Spot checks aren’t
penalized for distance within the first 50 ft. and the venerated sage gains a special
sensory capability within a 50-foot radius. As a move action, he or she can switch
which sense is active:
- The venerated sage benefits from a true seeing effect.
- The venerated sage automatically sees through all manner of mundane darknesss,
fog, smoke, and disguises.
- The venerated sage functions as though possessing any senses he or she has
been robbed of or denied.
- The venerated sage detects life force and its strength (as deathwatch).
- The venerated sage detects the presence and location of one named substance
within range.
- The venerated sage perceives the world as though a named substance does not
exist (gaze attacks may not be delivered if the venerated sage lacks a line of effect
with the target).
- The venerated sage detects all lies (even through omission) spoken within range
(as discern lies).
- The venerated sage pierces through invisibility and can see ethereal creatures (as
see invisibility).
- The venerated sage perceives all magic in the surrounding world (as arcane
sight).
At 9th level and every 5 level afterwards, the venerated sage’s senses extend an
additional 50 ft. before being penalized for distance and the range of these special
senses likewise extends 50 ft..
Harmful Truths (Su): Starting at 5th level, a venerated sage can rebuke and harm
others with the darkest and most personal or traumatizing of secrets. Once per
round, a venerated sage can target a creature who can both hear and understand
him or her with one of these truths and force that creatur e to make a saving throw
(DC 20 + Class level + Int modifier). If the target hasn’t be targeted by this ability
in the past 24 hours, it takes 10d6 nonlethal damage and is dazed for 1 round if it
fails the save and halves this damage and is merely staggered for 1 round if it
succeeds. Otherwise, the target takes 5d6 nonlethal damage and is staggered for 1
round if it fails the save and halves this damage and negates the staggered
condition if it succeeds. At 10th level and every 5 levels afterwards, this ability can
be used an additional time per round. No creature can be targeted more than once
per round and this ability can be used at any time without expending any action.
New Rules
Piercing Effects:
Certain effects are either referred to as piercing effects or retroactively make other
spells or abilities piercing effects.
For each immunity against that effect gained through epic means (or each racial
immunity possessed by a creature with 21 or more racial Hit Dice), there is a 50%
chance that the immunity functions normally (check separately for each such
immunity).
Archetypes
The Amphibious variant of the monk PC class has the following changes:
If the monk has no swim speed, he gains a swim speed equal to their base land
speed. If he has no land speed, he gains a land speed equal to his base swim
speed. If he has both, the lesser of the two improves to equal the greater of the
two. He gains no add. limbs or special physical characteristics. Instead, he learns to
maneuver his body in effective, if unorthodox ways. The Fast Movement ability
applies to his land and swim speed evenly.
The character's weapon list no longer includes club, handaxe, javelin, nunchaku,
quarterstaff, or sling, and instead includes dragon fork, moon glaive, and tsuribari.
- Buoyancy Balance (Ex): At 8th level or higher, a monk’s racial buoyancy becomes
zero, and he no longer has to worry about sinking or floating unless he is carrying
equipment with a buoyancy rating, even while unconscious. This replaces his 8th
level ki power.
- Amphibious (Ex): At 10th level, a monk gains the aquatic subtype and the
Amphibious ability. This replaces his 10th level ki power.
Black sages collect of all manner of occult lore, inc., but not limited to, arcane,
divine, and psionic. The darker and more forbidden,
the better.
NB:A Black Sage can gain add. bloodlines via Gestalt (campaign, etc.); Eldritch
Heritage (feat); or Assimilate (cosmic), etc. normally.
Furthermore, there may be other methods of add. bloodline acquisition; such as
Illithid Savant, etc.
The Price:As a consequence of gaining this archetype, a Black Sage's hit die is
reduced from d6 to d4; his only weapon proficiency is
dagger; he suffers a -3 penalty to Constitution, Wisdom, and Charisma at 1st level;
a further -3 penalty to Constitution, Wisdom, and
Charisma at 11th level (as his health, sanity, and personality deteriorate); and his
Fortitude save is reduced from good to poor.
Special:If a Black Sage [Druid] becomes a Black Sage [Archivist], The Price is
lessened by 2 points of penalty to Constitution,
Wisdom, and Charisma at 1st level and 2 points of penalty to Constitution, Wisdom,
and Charisma at 11th level; as they
already possess the equivalent of the Occult Spirit divine ability.
Lore:At 10th level, a Black Sage adds half his level to all Knowledge skill checks and
may make such checks untrained. The bonuses
gained from this ability stack with those gained from Bardic Knowledge.
Greater Lore (Ex):At 20th level, a Black Sage gains the ability to understand magic
items. Whenever he examines a magic item to
determine its properties, he gains a +10 circumstance bonus on his Spellcraft skill
check.
The Price:As a consequence of gaining this archetype, a Black Sage's hit die is
reduced from d8 to d4; his only weapon proficiency is
dagger; he is only proficient w/light armor and has no shield proficiencies; he
suffers a -3 penalty to Constitution, Wisdom, and
Charisma at 1st level; a further -3 penalty to Constitution, Wisdom, and Charisma
at 11th level (as his health, sanity, and
personality deteriorate); and his Fortitude save is reduced from good to poor.
Special:If a Black Sage [Archivist] becomes a Black Sage [Druid], The Price is
lessened by 2 points of penalty to Constitution, Wisdom,
and Charisma at 1st level and 2 points of penalty to Constitution, Wisdom, and
Charisma at 11th level; as they already possess the
equivalent of the Occult Spirit divine ability.
NB:Black Sage [Druid]s tend to use, corrupt, and abuse nature. For this reason
they're feared and reviled by non-Black Sage druids.
However, Black Sage [Druid]s are still as much a part of nature as non-Black Sage
druids, they simply represent a darker, and often
more parasitic, aspect of nature.
Your training has included basic magical theory as well as the usual psionic training.
Benefit: You add Spellcraft to your class skill list, which allows you to attempt to
convert an arcane spell into a power you can add to your repertoire. You treat the
spell as a discipline power for the basis of learning it, and you must first succeed on
a Spellcraft check (DC 15 + the spell's level) and then a Spellcraft check as per the
normal rules of learning a discipline power (see page 154 of Complete Psionic).
Each spell costs a certain number of power points to manifest. The higher the level
of the spell, the more power points it costs. The table below describes each spell's
cost.
Note:If this system intrigues you, you can see a spell point variant system starting
on page 153 of Unearthed Arcana.
* 0-level spells cost no power points to manifest. Instead you may manifest a
number of 0-level spells each day equal to three + the number of power points
gained by that class at 1st level.
The erudite uses her manifester level for determining the effects of the spell being
manifested, with one significant exception. Spells that deal a number of dice of
damage based on caster level (such as magic missile,searing light, or lightning bolt)
deal damage as if cast by a character of the minimum level of the class capable of
casting the spell. Spells whose damage is partially based on caster level, but that
don't deal a number of dice of damage based on caster level (such as produce
flame or an inflict spell) use the erudite's normal manifester level to determine
damage. Use the erudite's normal manifester level for all other effects, including
range and duration.
An erudite can pay additional power points to augment the dice of damage dealt by
a spell. Every 1 extra power point spent at the time of manifesting increases the
spell's effective caster level by 1 for purposes of dealing damage. The damage-
dealing spell's caster level cannot be increased above the erudite's manifester level,
or above the normal maximum allowed by the spell.
For example, even at 7th level, our erudite's lightning bolts deal only 5d6 points of
damage (just like a 5th-level wizard) unless she spends extra power points. If she
spends 1 extra power point (making the lightning boltcost 6 points rather than 5),
the spell deals 6d6 points of damage. A second extra power point would increase
the damage to 7d6 points, but she can't spend more points than this, since her
manifester level is only 7th. Were she 10th level or higher, she could spend a
maximum of 5 extra power points on this spell, raising the damage up to 10d6, the
maximum allowed for a lightning bolt spell.
Similarly, her magic missile spell shoots only one missile unless she spends extra
power points. An extra 2 power points increases the caster level from 1st to 3rd,
granting her one additional missile. She can spend a maximum of 6 additional
power points in this manner, increasing her effective caster level to 7th for damage
purposes and granting her a total of four missiles. If she were 9th level or higher,
she could spend a maximum of 8 extra power points, granting her five missiles
(just like a 9th-level caster).
Because the spells are now effectively psionic powers, they are no longer affected
by metamagic feats. However, metapsionic feats can affect them as they would a
psionic power.
As with casting a spell, manifesting a spell may require certain components (see
page 174 of the Player's Handbook). Some of the components remain unchanged,
such as verbal, somatic, and XP cost. Spells with expensive material components
(non-negligible) require you to spend an additional 2 power points when
manifesting the spell in lieu of the material components. If you happen to have the
material components, no additional power point cost is assessed. Spells with a
focus are treated the same as those with a material component. If the spell has an
expensive material component and a focus, the additional power point cost would
be 4.

New Feats
Aristeia [General]
You make slaying opponents look no more difficult than breathing.
Prerequisite:Str 15, Dex 15, BAB +8, Cleave, Combat Expertise, Dodge, Great
Cleave, Mobility, Power Attack, Spring Attack, Whirlwind Attack.
Benefit:On your action, before making attack rolls for a round, you may choose to
take a –5 penalty on all attack rolls. If any one of your attacks deals damage equal
to or greater than twice your target's maximum hit points (after all damage
reduction and similar effects are applied), you slay the target without effort, as a
free action. If you fail to either hit a target or deal damage equal to twice their
maximum hit points, then that attack counts as a regular attack action. You can
make a number of free attack actions equal to one per round per point of base
attack bonus, but these free attack actions can be spread out over multiple attacks
from having a high base attack bonus.
For example, an 8th-level fighter with Strength 17 wielding a greatsword makes
three free attack actions with a +6 attack bonus before failing to deal twice their
opponent's hit points on their 4th attack, which therefore counts as a regular attack
action. The fighter can then make the remaining five free attack actions with a +1
attack bonus using their 2nd attack as a full attack action, assuming every such
attack deals twice their opponent's maximum hit points.
Special:A fighter may select Aristeia as one of their fighter Bonus Feats (see page
38 of the Player's Handbook).
Torture -- You can use the intimidate skill to try and force a person to give you
information that they would never choose to give you of their own free will, via the
use of unbearable suffering and mind-breaking torture. To do so, you spend a time
to inflict mortal agony upon a creature (the exact time depends on the situation.
For example, it could take less than a minute, as the creature in question spits out
the information upon seeing the torture devices), and make an intimidate check to
try and force a piece of information out of them (use the tables below to determine
exact DCs). A creature who is immune to pain or fear is immune to this use of the
intimidate skill.
Cataphract [Tactical]
You are a master of defensive armament.
Prerequisites:Heavy Armor Proficiency, Shield Proficiency.
Benefit:The Cataphract feat grants you access to three special tactical maneuvers:
- Armored Expertise:Increase the armor bonus of light armor you are wearing by 1,
medium armor by 2 & heavy armor by 3.
- Blunted Blow:You gain DR ×/-, where × is half the armor bonus of your current
suit of armor. You must be wearing medium or heavy armor to gain this benefit.
- Power Defend:If a foe uses the Power Attack feat against you, the foe gains no
bonus on the damage roll but still takes the corresponding penalty to the attack
roll. You must be wearing medium or heavy armor & holding a shield to gain this
benefit.
Special: A fighter may select Cataphract as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Tech Items
Oil of Agony:This caustic substance comes in vials that can be thrown as splash
weapons. A direct hit forces any living creature struck to make a DC 14 Fortitude
save. On a failed save, a creature with 4 or fewer Hit Dice is blinded and nauseated
for 1d4 rounds, and a creature with 5 or more Hit Dice is merely blinded for 1d4
rounds. A splash blinds a creature that failed its save for 1 round, regardless of Hit
Dice.
CL 3rd; Superior Alchemy*; Price 675 gp; Weight 1/10 lb.
Oil of Animation:This greasy fluid imbues an inanimate object with motive power for
12 rounds. At the user’s option, this period of animation can be delayed for up to a
month. A delayed animation can take place at a time the user designates, or in
response to some trigger condition the user determines when first using the oil. If
the object becomes animate when the user is not present to control it, it follows
whatever simple instructions the user specified at the time the oil was applied.
Trigger conditions can be as general or as detailed as desired, although only
visual and audible triggers (or actions that are visible or audible) can be used.
Audible triggers can be keyed to general types of noises or to a specific noise or
spoken word. Visible triggers activate in response to the situation as it appears;
thus, disguises and illusions can fool them. Normal darkness doesn't defeat a visual
trigger, but magical darkness or invisibility does. Silent movement or magical
silence defeats audible triggers. The animated object cannot distinguish alignment,
level, Hit Dice, or class except by external garb.
The range limit of a trigger is 180 ft.. Regardless of range, the object can
respond only to visible or audible triggers and actions within line of sight or hearing
distance. Instructions given to the object must be simple, such as, “attack all
creatures entering an area”; “attack only certain creatures”; “sound an alarm
gong”; or the like.
A single vial covers one Small or Medium object, two Tiny objects, four
Diminutive, or eight Fine. Larger objects require more vials — two vials for a Large
object, four for a Huge one, eight for Gargantuan and at least sixteen for a Colossal
object. The object must be completely covered to get any benefit.
A dead body treated with the oil becomes an appropriately sized zombie
under the control of the character who applied it. Other objects become animated
as though affected by an animate objects spell. A single creature can control one
zombie or object animated by means of the oil per point of Charisma it possesses.
If this limit is exceeded, the oil doesn't affect new corpses and objects.
CL 5th; Superior Alchemy*; Price 4,800 gp; Weight 1/10 lb.
Oil of Preservation:When rubbed into dead organic matter, this viscous fluid
preserves it against rot and decay. The oil stains the dead flesh a repulsive
greenish-purple color, making it look as though it were covered with graveyard
mold, but the item remains sound and intact underneath as long as the coating
lasts. Food treated with the oil becomes foul-tasting but retains its nutritive value.
An object treated with the oil is preserved from natural decay for 100 years,
provided it’s otherwise left undisturbed. If it is carried around or used after
treatment, the oil’s effects wear off in a week.
A single vial covers one Small or Medium creature or object, or else two
Tiny, four Diminutive, or eight Fine. Larger subjects require more vials — two for
Large, four for Huge, eight for Gargantuan and at least sixteen for Colossal. The
creature or object must be completely covered to get any benefit.
If subjected to a magical attack, an object treated with the oil gains a +3
resistance bonus on any saving throw it makes as an object. An unattended
nonmagical object is not normally entitled to saving throws, but it gets one (with no
bonus) if treated with the oil. A creature wearing an object treated with the oil
gains no benefits.
An unliving creature, such as a golem or corporeal undead creature, gains
+3 hit points and a +3 resistance bonus on Fortitude and Reflex saves if treated
with the oil. The oil lasts a maximum of 1 day when applied to a creature.
CL 1st; Superior Alchemy*; Price 225 gp; Weight 1/10 lb.
Power Source:These items can provide power to items produced with the Create
Device feat. A power source usually resembles some kind of leather or metal
container with any manner of studs, wires, tubes and electrodes sticking out of it,
plus several mysterious openings or slots. It may hum quietly, give off a whiff of
ozone, leak strange fluids, or any combination of these effects.
To power a device, the power source must first be connected to the device.
Doing so requires a Knowledge (arcana) check (DC 15 + the device’s caster level).
Once attached, a power source supplies power to the device until detached again (a
standard action, no check required) or until it runs out of charges, at which point it
must be detached so that a new one can be connected.
Connecting a power source requires 1 minute per point of the required check
DC. If the check result exceeds the DC by 5 points or more, the effort takes only
half that time. If the check fails by 4 or less, the character tinkers with the device
for the allotted time and achieves nothing, but can try again. If the check fails by 5
or more, the power source overloads and explodes, dealing 1d6 points of damage
to everything within a 15-ft. radius. The type of damage depends on the power
source, as shown below. A Reflex save (DC 13, +1 per charge) halves the damage.
Thus, a power source holding 4 charges deals 1d6 points of damage (Reflex DC 17
half).
No matter how many power sources are available, a charged device burns
out after it has been used a number of times equal to the number of charges a
similar magic item would have held. For example, a wand of fireballs made with the
Create Device (Wands)* feat functions only 50 times before burning out, no matter
how many batteries are available.
Unless noted otherwise, a power source cannot be recharged once it has
been drained.
Cyber-/Techo-Druid [General]
You're aware metal and tech are still a part of nature. Not apart from nature.
Prerequisites:Int 12, Wis 15.
Benefit:You can gain druid levels and freely use metal armor, metal shields,
and technologies. They don't cause you to lose any druid spells or abilities.
NB:Most Cyber-Druids are Cyborgs (Aleerins (Mechalus), etc.), etc.
Deify [Mythic]
You can turn your cult of personality into a full-blown religion.
Prerequisite: 3rd Mythic Tier, Divine Source Mythic Path Ability.
Benefit: In addition to the domains and sub-domains selected with the Divine
Source Mythic Path Ability, choose one additional domain and three sub-domains.
These domains and sub-domains apply to your collection of spell-like abilities from
the Divine Source Mythic Path Ability as well as normal selections available to your
followers. No domain chosen may have more than two related sub-domains,
regardless of whether they are gained though this feat or taking the Divine Source
Mythic Path Ability multiple times.
Your followers are no longer restricted by your mythic tier for the level of spells that
you grant through through their worship. You also choose one weapon that you are
proficient to be the favored weapon of your religion. This favored weapon applies to
any divine casters that venerate you as their deity as normal.
Special: In order to qualify for this feat, you must not worship any other deity,
faith, church or cult. You must also have a clearly defined philosophy and your
choices of domains and sub-domains must be in align with this philosophy.
Entropomancy:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
Devour [General]
Prerequisites:Shard of Entropy (7d6, consuming).
Benefit:Your shard of entropy's bonus on “bull rush” attempts is equal to your own.
Normal:Your shard of entropy's bonus on “bull rush” attempts is +11.
NB:An entropomancer's shard of entropy bypasses all damage reduction and
hardness.
An entropomancer's shard of entropy pulls in unattended objects, as well as
creatures.
10th level entropomancers are immune to their own shard of entropy.
This feat can be deadly for lesser entropomancers to possess.
E.P.B. [Epic]
Your pumpkin bomb is killer.
Prerequisites:Cha 25, Pumpkin Bomb class feature.
Benefit:Your pumpkin bomb counts as a thrown missile weapon and can inflict
1d6 base B damage (or base B damage equal to your unarmed strike damage
(+1 d.c.), whichever is greater) to one target in addition to its normal effects.
Font of Ki [Ki]
Prerequisites:Wis 21, Perfect Self class feature.
Benefit:Your ki pool increases by an amount equal to your Wisdom modifier.
If your Wisdom increases, this bonus is increased retroactively.
Special:You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.
Ghost-Face [Vile]
You wear a symbolic mask of death and fear.
Prerequisites:Ninja level 8th.
Benefit:As a free action, that doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity, you can
expend 1 ki point to manifest a mask.
This mask cannot be removed; exists until destroyed or dismissed (nonaction); and
has 1 hardness point (and 2 hit points)
per character level. When wearing this mask, your face is concealed and you are
immune to identification (even vs.
divination, forensics, scent, x-ray vision, etc.); can freely suppress any/all of your
auras (if any; doesn't count
as an action); and gain a +1 bonus per 8 character levels on Bluff, Disguise, and
Intimidate checks.

Benefit:You can use one of your arcane spell slots (other than a slot lost to learn
this or any other type of high arcana) to permanently prepare one of your arcane
spells as a spell-like ability that can be used twice per day. You do not use any
components when casting the spell, although a spell that costs XP to cast still does
so and a spell with a costly material component instead costs you 10 times that
amount in XP.
You can still cast the spell by paying spell slots as normal.
The spell-like ability normally uses a spell slot of the spell’s level, although you can
choose to make a spell modified by a metamagic feat into a spell-like ability at the
appropriate spell level.
You may use a available higher-level spell slot in order to use the spell-like
ability more often. Using a slot three levels higher than the chosen spell allows you
to use the spell-like ability four times per day, and a slot six levels higher lets you
use it six times per day.

You can alter spell-like abilities with the use of metamagic feats. You must pay the
appropriate amount of spell slots, and the power spent cannot exceed your
metamagic cap.
Special:You can gain this feat multiple times. If spell-like ability is selected more

ability that can be used twice per day. You do not manifest any displays when
manifesting the power, although a power that costs XP to manifest still does so.
You can still manifest the power by paying power points as normal.
The psi-like ability normally uses power points equal to the base cost of the power,
although you can choose to make a power modified by a metapsionic feat into
a psi-like ability at the appropriate power level and with the appropriate power
point cost.
You may use additional power points in order to use the psi-like ability more often.
Using six power points more than the chosen power requires allows you to use
the psi-like ability four times per day, and twelve power points more lets you use it
six times per day.
You can alter psi-like abilities with the use of metapsionic feats. You must pay the
appropriate amount of power points, and the power spent cannot exceed your
metapsionic cap.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
Construct Monster [Epic]
Prerequisites:Ability to control Monsters of CR 20.
Benefit:When you strike a Construct with a Soul Prison, the Soul Prison does
regular damage instead of subdual damage. If the Construct would be destroyed
(brought to zero hit points), it is instead captured into the Soul Prison (and suffers
no damage from the Soul Prison). From then on it is considered to be a captured
Monster. In addition, you treat all Constructs as Monsters - you can communicate
with them, evolve them, etc. A Construct which ceases being a construct gains a
one time Hard to Control modifier of +1 CR.
Multiweapon Defense [General]
Prerequisites:Dex 15+, Multiweapon Fighting
Benefit:When wielding a double weapon or two or more weapons (not including
natural weapons or unarmed strikes), the character gains a +1 shield bonus to his

Polyglot [Epic]
You can speak, read, and write all languages.
Prerequisites:Int 20+.
Benefit:You can speak all languages. If you're literate,
you can also read and write all languages (not
including magical script).
Safeguard (Ex)
One of your feats can never be separated from you.
Benefit:Upon taking this epic feat, choose one other feat that you possess. This
choice cannot be changed. Your chosen feat cannot be negated by effects that
would suppress it, such as the Abrogate cosmic ability, the Nullification cosmic
ability, or the Dead Zone transcendental ability (if it is a supernatural feat). It still
functions normally under any of these conditions. Safeguard itself cannot be
affected by any of these conditions as well.
Special:You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take Safeguard, it
applies to a different feat that you possess.
Slavelord [Vile]
Through special connections, you have been provided with slaves.
Prerequisites: Character level 6
Benefit: You gain a number of 1st level commoner slaves equal to your level + your
charisma modifier. If you wish, you can acquire a 1st level warrior, expert, or adept
for every two commoners you are willing to go without. These slaves can only be
gained at a large city or bigger community and require 1 hour to obtain. Whenever
the amount of slaves you’d possess would increase, you may go through the same
process to obtain them, although slain or lost slaves are not replaced.
Your oppressor score is equal to your character level + your charisma modifier +
any of the modifiers below. So long as the summed CRs of all slaves you control is
equal to or less than your oppressor score, you can control them all safely.
If the summed CR exceeds your oppressor score, the slaves may collectively make
a will save each week (DC= your oppressor score) using the highest will save
among them to break free. For every point by which the summed CRs exceed your
oppressor score, the slaves gain a +1 bonus on this check. In addition, for every
slave with so much as half as many levels as you, the slaves gain an additional +2
bonus on this save. If they fail this save, they continue working oppressed for
another week. If they succeed, they manage to pull off a rebellion, either attacking
you or running away in the dead of night.
You may also buy additional slaves by entering a large enough community and
spending an hour looking for the proper place. The cost for any given slave is its CR
(minimum 1) squared x 100 gp.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oppressor Score Modifiers:
Lawful Alignment +2
Chaotic Alignment -2

drow (about 2/3rds in a typical spider-oriented culture) find you strangely attractive

of your choosing as if you were a bard of a
level = your HD/L. This inc. all Bardic Music abilities acquired at subepic and epic

Slayer (Ex)
Prerequisites:Int 40.
Benefit:You attack as if you're 2 divine status higher for purposes of Portfolio
Trumping
(see Ascension - Portfolio Trumping, Pg. 47 for further information). This ability
stacks
w/Portfolio Trumping and enhances any attack reliant upon divine status (hero-
deity,
etc.) for Portfolio Trumping effectiveness (self-explanatory).
W/No Double Portfolios, etc., 2 is the maximum Portfolio Trumping improvement
w/this ability. W/1 or more Double Portfolios, etc., 3 is the maximum Portfolio
Trumping improvement w/this ability.
Special:Multiple Double Portfolio derived Portfolio Trumping improvements
do Not stack. They overlap. (i.e. having Double Darkness, Double Death,
and Double Entropy Portfolios improves your Portfolio Trumping by 1
divine status Not 5 divine status.)
Warp (Su)
Warp space to better attack/affect target (creature, etc.).
Prerequisites:Dex 40.
Benefit:You can attack/affect any/all targets you would normally be able to
attack/affect
were it not for your/their size/obstacles (inc. (your-/their-) self, etc.)/orientation
(facing,
etc.). This negates all your opponent(s) benefits from cover and their size modifier
to AC as well as all your penalties for your size modifier to Attack and CMD.

your
Strength is insufficient for the task(s) at hand, you remain incapable of
accomplishing
said task(s). (i.e. you must have sufficient Strength to affect the target('s/s')
weight.)

by a personal silence spell. This functions continuously
(selective (Immediate nonaction)), never hindering you,

it extends to the immediate effects of your actions as
well. (i.e. if you cast fireball, your targets don't sizzle.
They just scream.)
Abrogate (Su)
You can negate your opponents greatest advantage.
Prerequisites:Divine Aura.
Benefit:Any single opponent within your divine aura has its greatest ability
negated. This can be an ability score or one of its other abilities (divine,
cosmic, etc.). A negated ability score is reduced to 10.
Special:If you have Psychometry, you can negate any ability you choose,
regardless of its power or lack thereof.
This ability can be gained multiple times. Its effects stack.

Benefit:You gain DR X / - and H (i.e. hardness.) X. X = your HD/L
+ your Con modifier (or Cha modifier, if Con - ) plus your divine

Not stack with) all other damage reduction and hardness.
Special:Pugnacious (cosmic) doubles both the DR
and H you gain from this ability.
Anomaly (Ex)
You have transcended type, subtype, and race.
Prerequisites:Cha 70, Apostasy.
Benefit:You can't be affected by any Type, subtype, or (bio/nonbio)logical
classification- (i.e. race, taxonomic rank,
etc.) based attacks or effects. For all intents and purposes you are beyond Type,
subtype, and (bio/nonbio)logical
classification; even if the Type, subtype, or (bio/nonbio)logical classification-based
attack or effect comes from a
divinity of higher divine status. (i.e. You retain all characteristics of your Type,
subtype(s), and bio/nonbiological
classification (e.g. *Undead retain their Undead traits (inc. being harmed by
positive energy (since it can harm
certain nonundead as well), etc.; yet are unaffected by attacks and effects
specifying special effectiveness vs.
Undead (inc., but not limited to bane attacks and effects, etc.).).; NB*Deathless
affected similarly.).)
Additionally, you can bypass Type, subtype, and (bio/nonbio)logical classification-
based prerequisites.
(i.e. Bob the Lich can become Bob, The Vampire-Lich, etc.; in spite of already being
undead.)
Special:You can permit (nonaction; immediate) Type, subtype, and
(bio/nonbio)logical classification-
based attacks/effects to affect you normally.

score. e.g. If you defeat an opponent...
...with more HD, your HD increase to equal its HD.
...with more Str, your Str increases to equal its Str.
You can choose any aspect you are aware of, randomly, or no aspect.
Convergent (Su)
Breach reality to attack/affect extraplanar targets (creatures, etc.).

/all other realities (dimensions, etc.) vs. any/all targets (creatures,
etc.) within range of your divine aura. (i.e. wherever said aura
would be were you in said realities.)
You can permit specific realities/portions thereof to remain unaffected.
Special:This ability stacks w/Dimensional Reach, Panversal, etc.
You can't affect other universes (multidimensional, multiplanar
realities) in which you don't currently reside w/this ability.
Counterstrike (Ex)
Retaliate immediately.
Prerequisites:Base Attack Bonus +70, True Strike.
Benefit:As an immediate action, you can make 1 extra attack
against any opponent who successfully hits you that round.
You gain a number of extra attacks against that opponent
equal to the number of times they hit you.
Destroyer (Ex)
Prerequisites:Int 70, Slayer.
Benefit:You attack as if you're 4 divine status higher for purposes of Portfolio
Trumping
(see Ascension - Portfolio Trumping, Pg. 47 for further information). This ability
stacks
w/Portfolio Trumping and enhances any attack reliant upon divine status (hero-
deity,
etc.) for Portfolio Trumping effectiveness (self-explanatory).
W/No Double Portfolios, etc., 4 is the maximum Portfolio Trumping improvement
w/this ability. W/1 or more Double Portfolios, etc., 5 is the maximum Portfolio
Trumping improvement w/this ability.
Special:Multiple Double Portfolio derived Portfolio Trumping improvements
do Not stack. They overlap. (i.e. having Double Darkness, Double Death,
and Double Entropy Portfolios improves your Portfolio Trumping by 1
divine status Not 5 divine status.)
Evolve (Su)
You can evolve living creatures.
Prerequisites:Science portfolio or Wis 70.
Benefit:You can evolve living creatures who can themselves create evolved
creatures.
The evolving of any creature mimics the creation of outsiders, see Immortal's
Handbook:Ascension,
Pg. 17, Table 1-17. However, remember that the transfer of quintessence is only
10% effective, thus
to evolve an ECL 0 being to ECL 21 will cost 10,000 QP, not merely 1,000 QP. The
final QP cost is
determined by the ECL (+/-). You can cause said evolution to occur normally,
randomly, or in
reverse. This ability can even be used to evolve one's self. The range of this ability
= your divine
aura's range. A successful Fortitude save negates this ability. The save DC is
Charisma-based.
Special:If you are a construct, undead, etc., you can evolve constructs, undead,
etc. as well.
If you possess the Science portfolio, you gain this ability (for free) in lieu of your
ability
to create outsiders.
Existential (Ex)
Prerequisites:Wis 70.
Benefit:You retain your current HD/L, templates, etc. even if you don't have the
min. exp. for it. Add., if you don't have the min. exp. for your HD/L, templates,
etc., then you naturally regain 100 exp. per round, until you meet the min.
amount for your current HD/L, templates, etc..
Special:You can't (under (((ANY))) circumstances) use this ability to increase
your normal, healthy exp. total. Not even by giving exp. to others and draining
them of the exp. you bestowed upon them, etc.. This chains indefinitely. (i.e.
you can't use exp. that originally originated from you to increase your exp.
total no matter how far removed from you (exp.-wise) the creature is.
Five-dimensional (Ex)
You become an extradimensional creature.
Prerequisites:Non-Euclidean, Two-dimensional, and Escape Artist 70 ranks; or Two-
dimensional and Escape Artist 70 ranks.
Benefit:You gain the "extradimensional" subtype. Creatures with the
extradimensional subtype share the following traits:
- Dimension Shift (Ex):As a free action, an extradimensional creature can intersect
part of its body (and/or anything it can carry, lift, pull, or push (continuous,
unbroken physical contact required)) with the traditional four-dimensional Material
Plane. The creature can't intersect an area already occupied by a solid body or force
effect. Doing so is an extradimensional strike (see below).
As a move action, the creature can withdraw one intersecting body part (and/or
anything it is carrying, lifting, pulling, or pushing (continuous, unbroken physical
contact required)), provoking an attack of opportunity if in a threatened square.
- Extraplanar (Ex):When an extradimensional creature intersects the traditional
four-dimensional Material Plane, it gains the extraplanar subtype.
- Dimension Walk (Ex):An extradimensional creature can move in any direction
relative to our four-dimensional world (even up and down) at its normal movement
speed. If wholly in the fifth dimension, such movement occurs “above” rather than
through the intervening four-dimensional space and is invisible to any without
extradimensional sight.
- Extradimensional Sight (Ex):Treat the creature’s vision as continuous clairvoyance
except that the sensor is nonmagical, moves with the creature, and can penetrate
solid objects. The creature can never be surprised and is immune to flanking.
- Extradimensional Strike (Ex):While wholly in the fifth dimension, an
extradimensional creature can directly attack a four-dimensional target’s internal
organs. Treat this as an incorporeal touch attack with a wounding weapon. Targets
surrounded by fields of force such as those granted by mage armor and bracers of
armor are immune to this attack. If the attack misses, a part of the
extradimensional creature momentarily enters then withdraws from a square
adjacent to the defender, which provokes an attack of opportunity.
- Unassailable (Ex):A normal creature cannot target an extradimensional creature
that is not penetrating our four-dimensional realm.
NB:References to The Fifth Dimension refer to a higher reality "above" the
traditional dimensions. This is not the same as the Nth dimension or the higher
traditional dimensions as it is "above" even the Nth dimension and the higher
traditional dimensions. This is also different from The Aethyrs (Secrets) as the
higher of The Aethyrs are parallel/above the traditional dimensions and The Fifth
Dimension. (i.e. a five-dimensional creature can still ascend The Aethyrs in respect
to The Fifth Dimension, etc. while on its perspective dimension. Thereby making
itself even more inaccessible.)
Gestalt (Ex)
You gain gestalt levels.
Benefit:You gain gestalt class lvls (integrated, etc.) equal to your initial (i.e. the
# of class lvls (int., etc.) you possessed before gaining this ability) class lvls.
Special:You can gain this ability multiple times. Its effects stack and it
stacks w/the Greater Integration cosmic ability.
Gestalt (Ex)
You gain gestalt class(-ed/-less) levels.
Benefit:You gain gestalt class(-ed/-less) lvls (integrated, etc.) equal to your initial
(i.e. the # of c.(-ed/-less) lvls (int., etc.)
you possessed before gaining this ability) c.(-ed/-less) lvls. If you have classed lvls
and gain classless lvls, you gain all
classless features, etc. as "classed" features. (i.e. base (nonprestige) lvl
progression, etc. overlaps base classed (non-
class) lvl progression, etc. (i.e. your feat progression becomes 6 (*+1 per HD/L; +1
per 2 (Pathfinder; rather than 3 (v3.5))
HD/L), etc.; +1 BD20C Fan Service feat.; etc.)) and, if you have a Con mod. of +2 or
greater, you're considered to have
Blooded (x1 or greater.) (BD20C) for any/all purposes. Base [Racial] feats (Alive,
Bount, etc.) are feats for BD20C pu-
rposes only. Prestige path feats still count as feats for BD20C purposes. The
remainder of BD20C classless feats (6 (+
1 per HD/L) and BD20C Fan Service) are considered class features and feats for
any/all purposes. If you have R.HD,
you don't gain, for them, the per lvl DR, per 4 lvls A.S. inc., or per 10 lvls A.S. inc.
for your R.HD.
NB:*These feats typically go to your prestige paths. The remainder are racial, etc.
feats.
Your Base Attack Bonus is your effective Combat Skill rank for all Combat Skills.
[BW] still increases w/your effective
Combat Skill rank (1d6 [BW] (or [BW], if greater) (+1d6 [BW]/+5 effective Combat
Skill ranks)), etc. (i.e. a shuriken inf-
licts 1d6 [BW], a katana inflicts 1d8 [BW], etc. (+1d6 [BW] at effective Combat Skill
rank 6, +2d6 [BW] at effective Com-
bat Skill rank 11, etc.).) Use I.H.:E.B. rules for initial [BW] damage in lieu of BD20C
rules for initial [BW] damage (see
previous). Convert Base Skills of Protection, Initiative, and Defense to Pathfinder rule
equivalents. Ignore the classle-
ss system's Special Damage, Weapon Damage Multiplier, Save DCs, Kido Saves, and
Additives and Multiplier rules.
Finally, if your lvls are BD20C, etc. and BD20C:TCC&C lvls, you gain 1/2 SPs for all
HD/L. If your lvls are all BD20C:
TCC&C lvls, you gain full SPs for all lvls.; NB:When adjudicating rules, etc.,
extrapolate.
(i.e. BD20C rules, etc. overlap (do Not replace/supercede) Pathfinder rules, etc.)
Exception:You can gain BD20C feats w/3.5/Pathfinder originals. However, you must
first acquire said 3.5/Pathfinder
originals as certain BD20C variants are more powerful and, consequently, should cost
more for the sake of balance.
NB:Regarding EPIC CHARACTERS ATTACKING MULTIPLE WEAKER OPPONENTS, even
if you are "low-level"
(i.e. "Mook" (as per BD20C:TCH).), you can never be autokilled (i.e. "Mooked" (as
per BD20C:TCH).) and never a-
cquire "low-level" (i.e. "Mook" (as per BD20C:TCH).) status. However, you can
autokill "low-level" (i.e. "Mook" (as
per BD20C:TCH).) and standard "Mook" (as per BD20C) NPCs normally. Regarding
V.S.C.s, you do Not gain V.S.
C.s for releases, etc. as they do not give core (permanent) bonuses (and are more
akin to enhancement (tempora-
ry) bonuses). You Do, however, gain V.S.C.s normally.
Special:You can gain this ability multiple times. Its effects stack and it stacks
w/Greater Integration.
NB:This ability is on par w/Extra Portfolio in terms of power and utilizes BD20C as
an additive,
effectively and fluidly (or potentially) gestalting two different, but similar, var. D20
games.

Special:You can't (under (((ANY))) circumstances) use this ability to increase
your normal, healthy qui. total. Not even by giving qui. to others and draining
them of the qui. you bestowed upon them, etc.. This chains indefinitely. (i.e.

New Weapons
Bloodrazor [Exotic]
Statistics:2d8; 18-20/x2; 126.5 lb.; P or S or B, P, and S; deadly.
Benefit:By activating a special mechanism on the weapon, you can switch between
a heavy (+2 damage categories), reinforced (x2 hardness), Medium (6 ft. (4 ft. 4
in. blade (x2 width and x2 thickness); 1 ft. 8 in. handle (x1.5 width and x1.5
thickness))) katana and a heavy (+2 damage categories), reinforced (x2 hardness),
Medium (15 ft.) spiked chain-whip [whip] form as a move action.
Bloodrazors are a variety of whipsword. If you are proficient in katana [bastard
sword] or spiked chain-whip [whip], you can use the bloodrazor proficiently when it
is in the appropriate form and take Whipsword Shift w/o proficiency in longsword.
Regardless of what form the weapon is
in, it deals damage as a heavy (+2 damage categories), reinforced (x2 hardness),
Medium (6 ft.(4 ft. 4 in. blade; 1 ft. 8 in. handle)) katana.
By activating a series of special mechanisms on the weapon, you can replicate
Whirlwind Attack (15 ft. r.; affects all in range (creatures (friend(s), foe(s), etc.)
and objects (unattended only)).), Storm of Throws (16-30 ft. r.; affects all in range
(creatures (friend(s), foe(s),
etc.) and objects (unattended only); up to 18 targets).), Piercing Shot (31-70 ft. (8
sq.); affects all in range (creatures (friend(s),
foe(s), etc.) and objects (unattended only)).), and Impaling Shot (31-75 ft.; final
1-18 targets only.) as a full round action.
This disassembles the bloodrazor.
A Perception check (DC 10) is required to find each component of the weapon and a
Craft (weaponsmithing) check (DC 20) is required for reassembly.
NB:As a bloodrazor possesses 18 blades, bloodrazor wielders are loath to use this
feature w/o the "returning" weapon special quality.
Special:< 17 Str can wield 2-handed w/-4 penalty, 17 Str can wield 2-handed w/-2
penalty, 23 Str can wield w/o penalty.
Lighten Weapon reduces the penalty by -2 and Improved Lighten Weapon
eliminates the penalty. Powerful Build reduces the penalty by
-2. The combination of all 3 eliminates the penalty and renders a bloodrazor a light
weapon.
Eclectic Defense to use a bloodrazor as a large steel shield.
Exotic Weapon Proficiency (katana [bastard sword]) to wield 1-handed.
Wield Oversized Weapon to wield an even larger bloodrazor.
Nullium [Material]
Description:Nullium is a jet-black, antimetal otherwise known as antineutronium.
Properties:Treat as neutronium, except nullifies all powers, spells, psychic skills,
psi-like abilities, spell-like abilities, and supernatural
abilities of creatures/objects in physical (or spiritual, if incorporeal) contact (treat
as null magic zone, rather than antimagic or dead
magic zone; renders Cosmic Font (cosmic) useless); massless (weapons still inflict
improved damage and armor or shields still
bestow improved armor and shield bonus due to nullium's entropic properties); and
self-repairing (treat as FH:1000/R).
Special:Nullium can only be created (by slaying a void dragon in the molten heart
of a neutron star, etc.), found, or stolen. It can't be
enhanced or purchased (NB:Myzari (a race of deicidal, psionic (nonmagical),
spacefaring (PL10), LE drow) use nullium nanotech
to imprison esp. powerful deities they can't kill. Myzari have metallic gold eyes,
hair, and nails. Myzari (all Telepaths) of less
than 20th level are never encountered (weaker myzari remain on one of their many
colonized worlds), nor are they ever
encountered w/o their life-like, metallic gold, powered armor (treat each
encountered myzari as a Myzari/Orichalcum
Guardian fusion). High ranking myzari carry psionically enhanced, metallic gold,
orichalcum spears.).
Akashic entities (see Akashic Entity (transcendental)) occasionally use Nullium as
well.
New Spell
NB:Demi-liches, etc. need not incorporate their soul gems (or equivalent
(phylacteric ribs, etc.))
into their physical form and can use their Soul Trap/related abilities in conjunction
with any/all
soul gem(s) (or equivalent (phylacteric ribs, etc.)) regardless of any/all barriers (be
they
chronal, etc.).
This spell causes three Infernals to crash down from the sky, using their Meteoric
Impact ability, landing anywhere the caster designates within 150 ft. of him. The
Infernals will serve the caster utterly for six minutes, before returning to the
Twisting Nether. Being constructs that exist solely to serve greater Demons, the
Infernals will always voluntarily fail their Will saves, and lower their Magic Immunity
so that the spell may effect them. The caster takes 4d6 backlast damage, and
burns 400 XP per casting (both of which are trivial to one such as Archimonde). It is
known that the Defiler has taught this spell to other Demon Lords, including
Tichondrius and Balnazzar; these lesser spellcasters either include additional
mitigating factors, or rely on magic items to achieve the required Spellcraft check.
This spell calls forth a sphere of pure entropy, and unleashes it upon the material
world. The caster hurls the sphere at any point within 12,000 ft., and it explodes in
a wave of darkness, dealing 35d8 damage to all creatures and solid objects within
100 ft., often leaving a perfectly hemispherical crater.
A bolt of unholy crimson lightning leaps from the caster's finger to one creature
within range, and if the creature is both living and has no more than 80 hit dice, it
must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 29 + stat mod) or die instantly. Even on a
successful save, it takes 28d6+20 damage, which may be reduced to 13d6+20 by a
second successful save. Constructs, undead, objects, or creatures with more than
80 hit dice simply take 20d6 damage, with a Fortitude save for half. The body of a
creature killed by this spell, either outright or by damage, is destroyed, as if by
disintegrate. This spell can also be used to destroy ten square ft. of nonliving
matter.
This devastating spell creates a raging thunderstorm, formed of clouds that glow an
angry red. These clouds pour down fire instead of raindrops, dealing 1d4 fire
damage to everything within ten miles of the caster each round. A successful Reflex
save negates the damage, but must be repeated every round a creature remains
within the unnatural storm. The storm is stationary, and persists even if the caster
leaves.
Everdread:A weapon with this ability functions as a dread weapon against all
creature types.
Overwhelming conjuration; CL 75th; Craft Epic Arms and Armor, summon monster
IX; Price +25 bonus.
Lesser Dark Nexus:This weapon is a minor gateway to the Negative Energy Plane.
It deal an additional 25d6 negative energy damage to any creature struck by one of
their blows, even if the creature is normally unharmed by negative energy (e.g.
constructs, undead, etc). Creatures normally vulnerable to negative energy (e.g.
living creatures, deathless, etc.) suffer double this amount of damage.
Overwhelming conjuration and universal; CL 54th; Craft Epic Arms &
Armor, gate, wish; Price:+18 bonus.
Timeless: Armor or a shield with this enchantment is always well oiled and free of
corrosion (if metal) or cracks and wear (if leather or wood). The armor is
completely immune to acid and rust attacks and any effect that corrodes an item.
The armor or shield is also unharmed by the passage of time. Such an item can still
be sundered, disintegrated, or destroyed in another manner. The wearer gains acid
resistance 5.
