Kud'seya, the Heretic's Vengence
Vestige level 4th, Binding DC 25
Made of a thousand hateful souls, Kud'seya grants binders the power to weather divine power and strike with great skill, as well as howl blasphemies.
Legend: It is said(sometimes even by the vestige itself) that Kud'seya formed itself out of the souls of those who have died with their blood on the hands of the Order of Seropaenes, a curse on their lips, and hate for all gods in their heart. What is undeniably true is that it's name, sign, seal, and powers are a recent discovery that has brought out a few of the more retributive elements in some pact magic practicing organizations.
Special Requirements: Kud'seya, paradoxically, requires that a binder have studied the gods and understand what it means to fight them. It's seal can only be drawn by somebody with 5 ranks or more in Knowledge(religion).
Manifestation: a thousand white wisps with faces come out of the seal, moaning. They settle into one large red-eyed humanoid figure, which is rather eloquent in it's speach.
Sign: Your irises become a deep crimson. If suppressed, this sign can be unsuppressed as an immediate action.
Influence: Kud'seya's binders become cynical and paranoid about all religious matters and quite a few non-religious matters. They must also attempt a saving throw against divine spells when possible.
Granted Powers: Kud'seya grants defenses and attacks against the gods' servants.
Hostile Soul: You gain spell resistance equal to 10+your effective binder level. This resistance is only effective against divine spells. Lowering this resistance is considered going against Kud'seya's influence. If a spell fails to penetrate your spell resistance, you may for the caster to make a will save or take 1d6 per effective binder level damage. You may also make an opposed Charisma check against the caster; if you win you destroy their divine focus and gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Intimidate checks against them until they get a new divine focus. This ability is only functional while you are showing Kud'seya's sign.
Frightening Gaze: You gain a +4 enhancement bonus to Intimidate checks. This bonus improves to +8 if you show Kud'seya's sign.
Sacreligious Power: Your base attack bonus may be equal to your effective binder level for one round. After using this ability, you must wait 5 rounds before using it again.
Right and Wrong, Not Good and Evil: You become immune to effects that ignore a particular alignment(such as unholy blight or dictum), as well as to Vile damage and divine damage(such as the nonfire damage from flame strike).
True Blasphemy: As a standard action, you may deal 1d6 sonic damage per 2 effective binder levels to all divine casters within 5 feet per effective binder level who do not have a divine focus with them. This is a language-dependant effect.
