Spellcasting: Each time a new Face of God level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in whatever divine spellcasting class he belonged to before he added the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. This essentially means that he adds the level of Face of God to the level of whatever other divine spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly.
If a character had more than one divine spellcasting class before he became a Face of God, he must decide to which class he adds each level of Face of God for the purpose of determining spells per day.
Exemplar of Faith [Ex]: Face of Gods have fully developed their connection with their deity and have earned the blessing of their deity. At first level the Face of God gains access to all of the domains of their deity.
Lesser Mantle of Divinity (Su): Spoilered for Size At first level, a Face of God gains one lesser mantle of divinity (see below). Depending on the alignment of the character's deity he takes on a different form. A Face of God gains this ability by permanently eliminating one existing spell slot of fifth level or higher.
At second level the Face of God may sacrifice another spell slot of fifth level or higher to gain another mantle of divinity. In addition to the power granted by the mantle, the Face of God gains the ability to take on the aspect of one of his deity's favored creatures; the creature chosen is determined by the deity's alignment, as listed below. He may assume this aspect as a standard action and remain in the form for a total of 1 round per class level each day. This ability is not a polymorph effect and grants only the benefits listed below. His size and type do not change, only his visual appearance.
Lawful Good
Aspect of the Couatl: While in this form, the Face of God gains a +4 sacred bonus to his Strength and Charisma scores. In addition, he gains a Bite attack that he may use at the end of a full attack action (at a -5 penalty) or as a single standard action attack (at no penalty). The bite deals 1d3 damage (plus 1½ Strength Modifier) for a medium creature, and injects the victim with a weakening poison. The Fortitude DC to resist this poison is equal to (14 + the Face of God's Constitution modifier). The initial effect deals 2d4 Strength damage, and the secondary effect deals another 4d4 Str damage.
Chaotic Good
Aspect of the Eladrin: While in this form, the Face of God gains a +4 sacred bonus to his Strength and Charisma scores. He is also wreathed in flame which causes all of his melee attacks to deal an additional 1d6 damage, and gains a fiery gaze attack which he can wield as a standard action. This gaze is a supernatural ability that causes the affected creature to burst into flame, taking 2d6 points of fire damage (no save.) The creature must make a Fortitude saving throw of DC (14 + the Face of God's Charisma modifier) or be blinded as per blindness/deafness spell.
Neutral Good
Aspect of the Hollyphant: While in this form, the Face of God gains a +6 sacred bonus to his Strength scores. He also gains 2 Slam attacks which each deal 1d8 (plus Strength modifier) damage for a medium creature. As well, he grows a long, prehensile trunk in the place of his nose; this trunk can make a sonic blast three times a day. The sonic blast is a supernatural ability that creates a 30 ft. cone of thunderous noise. All affected creatures must make a Fortitude saving throw of DC (13 + the Face of God's Charisma modifier) or take 2d10 points of sonic damage and be stunned for 1 round. Success halves the damage and eliminates the stunning affect.
Chaotic Neutral
Aspect of the Gray Slaad: While in this form the Face of God gains a +4 sacred bonus to Str and Con. He gains a claw attack that deals 2d4 + Str damage. He also gains fast healing 5 for as long as he retains this form.
Lawful Neutral
Aspect of the Zelekhut: While in this form the Face of God gains immunity to critical hits, and all mind-affecting effects. The Face of God also gains 2 attacks with spiked chains that he may use as a full attack. These attacks each deal 2d6 + Str + 1d6 electricity damage.
Neutral
Aspect of the Storm Elemental: (MM3 48) While in this form the Face of God gains the ability to once per day as a free action deliver an electrical shock to a single opponent within 10ft. This attack does 10d4 nonlethal electricity damage. This attack allows a DC (20 + Face of God's Con modifier) for half damage. In addition the high priest gains a slam attack that deals 3d6 + Str + 2d6 electricity damage.
Lawful Evil
Aspect of the Bone Devil:While in this form the Face of God gains a +4 profane bonus to Str and Con. The Face of GOd also gains a sting attack that he may use as part of a full attack. This attack deals 3d4 + 1/2 Str damage and delivers a weakening poison. This poison can be resisted with a DC (15 + Face of God's Con modifier). The initial damage is 1d6 Str damage and the secondary damage is 2d6 Str damage.
Chaotic Evil
Aspect of the Vrock:While in this form the Face of God gains a claw attack that deals 2d6 + Str damage. The Face of God also gains the ability to release spores every 3 rounds. These spores deal 1d8 damage to all creatures adjacent to the Face of God and continue to grow dealing 1d4 damage for the next 5 rounds. A delay poison spell stops the spores' growth during for its duration. A bless, neutralize poison, or, remove disease spell kills the spores. As does sprinkling holy water on them. The Face of God in this form may once per day emit a piercing screech that causes all non-demons with 15ft. to make a DC (15 + Face of God's Con modifier) or be stunned for 1 round.
Neutral Evil
Aspect of the Nycaloth: (MM3 202)While in this form the Face of God gains a +6 profane bonus to Constitution. The Face of God gains 2 claw attacks that he can use as a full attack action. These claws deal 1d6 +1 1/2 Str damage and cause the wounded to bleed uncontrollably. These wounds continue to deal 1 damage each round (multiple hits are cumulative) until a DC 15 heal check has been made or there has been an application of healing magic. These wounds stop bleeding 5 rounds after the Face of God's transformation ends.
The DM may also rule that the Face of God can transform into a monster based on the high priest's deity. Such as a worshiper of Tiamat gaining the aspect of a young black dragon or a similar change.
Greater Mantle of Divinity:
At 3rd level the Face of God has the option to sacrifice a 7th, or higher, level spell slot to gain a greater mantle of divinity.
At 4th level a Face of God gains another greater mantle (for which he must sacrifice a spell slot 7th level or higher). The Face of God also gains the ability to take on the aspect of a more powerful creature, this ability replaces the ability gained at 2nd level.

All of the Face of God's allies within 10ft. of him gain a +2 sacred bonus to armor class, and a +2 sacred bonus to saving throws, against attacks, and spells originating from evil creatures. The Face of God gains damage reduction 5/evil and resistance to acid 5, cold 5, fire 5, and electricity 5.
