Rogue Djinn
"Oh, I'm sorry! Did you think it was as simple as rubbing a lamp or trapping me in a cage? Well, let me tell you something, mortal! The only one whose wishes will be granted today is me!"
The Rogue Djinn is a powerful noble djinn who has grown tired of constantly granting the inane desires of others whenever he is captured while visiting the Material Plane. By signing a contract with the the Lords of the Nine, his wish-granting powers twist themselves into something much darker.
By signing this pact, the rogue djinn agrees to take all 10 levels of this class as soon as possible. He may not return to taking racial HD or multiclass until he has reached the end of this class. (The ritual physically prevents him from escaping it)

Alignment: Must be Lawful Evil
Special: Must be able to cast wish as a spell-like ability at least once per day, must have made peaceful contact with a devil and performed a special ritual that forcibly changes your home plane to the Nine Hells.
HD: d8
Class Skills: The rogue djinn's class skills are Bluff, Concentration, Craft, Diplomacy, Disguise, Intimidate, Knowledge (The Planes), Listen, Move Silently, Sense Motive, Spellcraft, Spot

Class Features:
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The rogue djinn gains no proficiency with weapons or armor.
Pledge to the Nine (Ex, Su, Sp): The djinn has made a promise to the Lords of the Nine Hells in exchange for power. His home plane becomes the Nine Hells, and he is able to use his plane shift racial spell-like ability, if he has one, to go to the Nine Hells without fail. Additionally, the djinn gains the See in Darkness ability of the devils, as well as the Lawful and Evil subtypes. (He retains all other subtypes).
Finally, the djinn gains the ability to attempt to summon a single horned, bearded or ice devil that will appear beside him and obey his commands (if he gives none, it will instead attempt to defend his life first and foremost, and if his life is not in immediate danger, attack his enemies instead). The devil that is summoned is chosen at random, and the djinn only has a 10% success rate per class level of successfully using the ability. It is the equivalent of a conjuration (calling) effect with a spell level equal to one-half the djinn's HD, and the djinn may only use it once per day as a full-round action that provokes an attack of opportunity.
You'll Have to Kill Me (Ex): The rogue djinn has had enough of being captured, tortured, and threatened. At 2nd level, the rogue djinn permanently loses its ability to cast wish as a spell-like ability, and it becomes relatively obvious. The change is so apparent that it can be noticed with a DC 15 Knowledge (The Planes) check, or if the djinn tells the truth to someone, they will believe him as long as they pass a DC 15 Sense Motive check. Most adventurers will simply allow a rogue djinn to walk away unharmed when they realize he is unable to grant them their wish (unless they are on a crusade to vanquish all evil or the rogue djinn has wronged them in some way, blah blah. But the djinn is safe from being hunted specifically because of his power)
Twisted Wish (Sp): The rogue djinn may not be able to grant mortals their heart's desires anymore, but why should he let all that phenomenal cosmic power go to waste? Starting at level 3, the rogue djinn gains the ability to cast wish once per day, allowing him to grant his own heart's desire. The rogue djinn may not use this wish for any selfless purposes unless they further his pact with the Nine, and also may not grant himself any inherent bonuses to his ability scores.
The rogue djinn gains an additional daily use of Twisted Wish at 6th and 9th level. The first time a rogue djinn uses his Twisted Wish ability each day, it is free. The second time he uses it in one day, he must pay 2500 XP, and the third time he uses it in one day, he must pay the full 5000 XP. No matter which daily use he is using, the rogue djinn must pay the additional XP costs for duplicating XP component spells and crafting magic items as if he were a wizard casting the spell.
Form of the Nine Hells (Sp): While a rogue djinn is already distinguishable from his former self, he has new allegiances, and sometimes it's better to blend in with your friends than stand out as a traitor to your own kind. Starting at 4th level, a rogue djinn gains the ability to cast the polymorph spell as a spell-like ability 3 times per day, with a caster level equal to his HD. The rogue djinn may only assume the form of an outsider who is native to the Nine Hells.
Should Have Read The Fine Print (Sp): Starting at level 5, a rogue djinn can offer his services to mortals once more. After a fashion. Once per week, the rogue djinn can use one of his twisted wishes to provide the normal benefits of a wish to a mortal who does not realize its true nature.
This use of the spell-like ability works like normal, but for a few exceptions. If the ability provides a magic item, it carries a curse appropriate to the item and level (as bestow curse or a separate curse enchantment). If the ability mimics a spell, the rogue djinn can change the target of the spell at his leisure. Finally, if all else fails the rogue djinn can remove a single word from the wish to better suit his purposes (ie. the mortal's imminent demise or damnation)
Strength of Hell (Ex): Even though the rogue djinn has turned his back on the Plane of Fire, he is still a genie deep down. When the rogue djinn reaches 6th level, he advances a Size category, as an efreet who has reached 16 HD. He receives the normal benefits and penalties for an increase in Size as normal.
Your Greatest Desires...(Su): A 7th level rogue djinn is able to tempt mortals in ways that a devil would kill for. As a standard action, a rogue djinn may target one creature within 60 feet. That creature is trapped inside of an illusion, an illusion that extends in all directions in a 50' radius surrounding the creature, and shows the creature all of its hearts' deepest wishes, even the ones the creature would never admit or even never really understood that it wanted. This is a mind-affecting supernatural ability, not a true illusion, and cannot be ignored by a creature who normally ignores illusions or possesses true seeing or some other ability. The rogue djinn receives a +8 circumstance bonus to all Diplomacy and Bluff checks made against a creature who is trapped inside this illusion, as long as those checks are related to enticing it to accept the djinn's power to grant wishes.
The illusion is automatically disbelieved if interacted with, and there is no saving throw, attack roll, spell resistance, or any other defense allowed against the creation of this illusion (except for being immune to mind-affecting abilities). The duration of this illusion is one minute. The illusion stays centered on the creature that it was created around for that duration, so even if the creature tries to leave the area, the illusion moves with it.
Improved Form of the Nine Hells (Su): By 8th level, a rogue djinn has been around devils, studied them, and learned of their powers. When an 8th level rogue djinn uses one of his daily polymorph spell-like abilities, he may choose to cast shapechange instead, with a caster level equal to his HD. He may only assume forms of outsiders native to the Nine Hells.
As You Wish, Master (Ex): The rogue djinn has given himself over to the Nine Hells completely by 10th level, and his power finally becomes all-encompassing. The rogue djinn loses the effects of the You'll Have to Kill Me class feature, and gains his ability to grant wishes again. However, now, whenever the rogue djinn grants a wish to a mortal, that mortal signs his soul over to Asmodeus, as if he was agreeing to a Pact (See the Fiend Codex II). The rogue djinn need not inform the mortal or get his permission, the mortal's greed is so pure that the djinn is able to sign souls over for the mortal.
This was the rogue djinn's original pledge, when he signed the deal with the Lords of the Nine Hells. He must do everything in his power to capture at least 100 souls per year. Failing to do so causes him to lose his extraordinary and supernatural abilities for 30 days, and then the rogue djinn is given 30 days to make up the difference. If he fails to do so, he surrenders his soul as punishment and the Lords of the Nine transform him into an imp permanently.
