Class Features
All the following are Class Features of the acolyte prestige class.
Spells and Caster Level: Levels in the Acfolyte prestige class, even though they do not advance spell progression in the character’s base class, still stack with the character’s base spellcasting levels to determine caster level.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Acolytes gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor.
Amulet of the Devourer: Acolytes craft a chain necklace attached to a socket which can hold a gem from a successful use of either trap the soul or soul bind. It costs 1,000 GP to make. Placing a soul gem in the amulet, or removing one, is a standard action that provokes an Attack of Opportunity. The Soul Gem cannot be targeted when inside the amulet; a Soul Gem can be removed from the amulet on a successful disarm attempt. The Amulet’s powers are drawn from the acolyte herself, it does not grant any powers to any creature wearing the amulet other than the Acolyte.
Soul Pool: At the first level, An Acolyte of the Devourer can choose to expend a charge from her amulet's gem instead of a spell slot when casting the following spells: Confusion, Control Undead, Ghoul Touch, Lesser Planar Ally, Ray of Enfeeblement, Spectral Hand, Suggestion, and True Seeing. The Acolyte must be able to cast these spells normally in order to use this ability.
An amulet has a number of charges equal to 5 times the hit dice of a captured soul; every 5 charges used causes the captured soul to take one negative level. If the creature dies due to these negative levels, it is destroyed and the gem holding it shatters.
Target Hostage: At the second level, when the acolyte is wearing an amulet with a gem with at least one charge left she is granted immunity to chaos hammer, crushing despair, dominate person, fear, geas/quest, holy word*, hypnosis, magic jar, maze, suggestion, energy drain, magical based ability loss/damage and all forms of Charms or Compulsions, as long as the amulet has at least 1 charge.
*If the wearer is ever targeted by banishment, dispel evil, imprisonment, or trap the soul, they are unaffected, but the amulet loses all charges. If the wearer has the (extraplanar) subtype, and would be removed from the plane he is currently on due to a holy word spell, instead, the amulet loses all charges. If the amulet had no charges when these spells were cast, the wearer is affected normally.
*If the wearer is targeted by a magic jar effect, the caster is instead trapped in the soul gem powering the amulet, and the captured soul is shifted to their "jar". (though they may return to their jar with a standard action, returning the captured soul to the amulet) If the amulet has no charges, the wearer is affected normally.
Interrogate Hostage: At the third level, provided the gem in the amulet has at least one charge left, and the Acolyte has the ability to cast the spell detect thoughts the Acolyte has access to all the knowledge of the creature trapped within the gem. The Acolyte can merely think of a question and the creature in the amulet will provide the answer if they know it. The creature cannot lie, however if they are misinformed they will produce incorrect information. Using this ability is instantaneous, just as if you were accessing your own memories and does not require the actual casting of detect thoughts. You can also use this ability to force the creature trapped inside to make a knowledge check or something similar, but normally you don't otherwise benefit from the trapped creature's skills.
Emulate Hostage: At the third level, provided the gem in the amulet has at least one charge left, and the Acolyte has the ability to cast any spell which would allow her to take the form of the creature trapped in the gem, than she can do so flawlessly. She succeeds any disguise check to emulate the creature within the gem. This does not change the parameters of the spell, for example: If the creature in the gem in the amulet is an angel, and you try to emulate it via a disguise self spell, you do not gain the ability to fly.
Ex Acolytes: An acolyte who ceases to be evil looses all his powers as an acolyte until he returns to evil.
