Asorč Inherit

---
The Asorč are a proud and noble warrior race. They exist on a plane coined Tempest by travelers, it is in a constant state of turmoil, with two conflicting sides. The Asorč represent the Light, what they call their home-- a sentient good-aligned plane. This plane coexists with a sentient evil-aligned plane, the Dark. No one knows how exactly it started, but a war rages between the two planes.
It is said the Asorč are the children of the plane itself, created for the purpose of destroying the Dark. They have an extreme distaste for evil, though mostly that of the most chaotic and unrestrained. Their bodies have been built for battle, and they have superhuman abilities.
Sometimes, they frequent other planes to recruit others to fight the Dark by gifting them with their inheritance. The creature gifted begin to manifest superhuman abilities and takes on the traits of the Asorč. They become interested in battle, and grow a distaste for evil.

(2 + Int modifier) per level.
Class Skills
The Asorč Inherit’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Heal (Wis), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (planes), Sense Motive (Wis), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str), and Tumble (Dex).

Aura of Brilliance (Su)
Starting at 1st level the Asorč Inherit gains an aura of sun-like light. It can only be seen by the Detect Aura spell or similar ability.
Torch of Radiance (Sp)
At 3rd level, the Asorč Inherit gains the ability to create a single orb of sunlight, as the spell Dancing Lights (caster level equal to race level), at will. The light is not suppressed by magical darkness, but it dampens the effect by halving its range.

At 5th level, the Asorč Inherit becomes immune to fear and fear effects.

Disclaimer
The Asorč are an extremely rare sight on planes outside of Tempest. DMs be wary, this race has an extremely powerful strength progression. Do not allow this race without first looking it over carefully.
Comments
This is a race template/prestige that I created for a particular campaign, turned into a tad more. There's a ton of back story I want add about the Light and Dark. The Asorč home is a truly a magnificent place, but not at all safe. The Dark is a frightening place of pure evil, and it is so terrifying that few dare venture there.
Anyway, yeah, superhuman warriors. Only half of the class. Like I said, I just built it for a specific campaign, so I really dunno. I don't feel like it's over/under powered. But meh. Probably going to get comments along the lines of, "But you're just upping numbers!" Yes and no. The Asorč are incredibly strong, they need big numbers to battle the Dark. An elder Asorč has power along the lines of destroying a mountain, so it's really like... Yeah we need big numbers.
