Alingment: Any evil (You munch souls for power for Pete's sake!)
Spells: Any four necromancy spells. At least one must be level 4 or higher.

Class Abilities

Essence Strength (Supernatural ability)
Th soulpower disciplle feeds on the souls of the people he kills
A Soulpower Disciple may try to draw power from any soul whose living shell he killed. The soul may attempt a will save against this ability (DC 10+Soulpower Disciple Level+Cha Mod). If the save fails the Soulpower Disciple gains the indicated bonus to caster levels and spell DC:s of necromancy spells for 1 round. Also, if the character whose soul was drained by a succesful use of the Soulpower Disciple's Essence Strength ability takes 1 negative if she is ever raised due to the drain the Soulpower disciple has visited upon the soul.

Wound Spirits
The Soupower Disciples extensive knowledge of spirits allows him to combat them more effectively
All spells cast by the Soulpower Disciple are enhanced by the Transdimensional spell metamagic for free


Negative Soul Power (Supernatural Ability)
The Soulpower Disciple draws power from anything that has a soul
The Soulpower Disciple may now use Essence Strength on undead that have souls

Greater Spell Focus: Necromancy
The Soulpower Disciple gains Greater Spell Focus: Necromancy as a bonus feat

Soul Bind (Spell-Like Ability)
The Soulpower Disciple may use the Soul bind spell 3/day.

Consume the Soul (Supernatural Ability)
Soulpower Disciples may eat the souls they imprison
You may consume and utterly destroy any soul you have in a soul bind gem as a full round gaining the Essence Strenght benefits and 1 positive level (as energy charge) for every +2 points of Essence Strength for 10 minutes

Rip The Soul (Spell-Like Ability)
Soulpower Disciples can rip out the souls from the shells and feast on them
Once per day, as a full-round action the Soupower Disciple may pinpoint any being which has a soul within 100 ft and try to rip out it's soul and eat it wholly. Ripping out the soul allows a will save which if succesful negates the ability completely. If not the creature dies instantly as it's soul is ripped from it's shell and eaten. If the ability is succesful the Soulpower Disciple gains the Benefits of Consume the Soul. The DC for this ability is 10+Soulpower Disciple level+Cha Mod


Another spellcaster PRC, this time focusing on necromancy and munching souls. What do you think?

I'm not an expert on caster prc's or necromancy but I know one thing: you continuously misspel the word "strength".

Other than that, I assume all abilities are supernatural or spell-like. You should write that down explicitly.

Oh, and what would it mean for one's afterlife if his soul has been eaten? How does it affect ressurection?

The Essence Strength doesn't prevent resurrection or afterlife since it merely weakens the soul. Consume the Soul and Rip the Soul however make resurrection and afterlife impossible since the soul is as much the soul of the person as much as the digested pork you ate for dinner is still a pig. The soul doesn't effectively exist anymore in those circumstances so no resurrection or afterlife for you. Not even by deities. Compare Sphere of Annihilation.

E: Strength typos fixed.
