Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Sinister Servant of Nerull.
Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: Sinister Servant of Nerull is proficient in all simple and martial weapons and all forms of armor and shields.
Spells Per Day/ Spells Known: At every level of Sinister Servant of Nerull except first the character gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a level in divine spellcasting class she belonged to before she entered the prestige class. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. This essentially means that she adds the level of Sinister Servant of Nerull to the level of whatever other spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly.
If a character had more than one spellcasting class before she became a Sinister Servant of Nerull, she must decide to which class she adds each level of Sinister Servant of Nerull for the purpose of determining spells per day.
Sinisterness: Whenever the Sinister Servant of Nerull casts a spell that creates or animates undead the spell is cast at + 1 caster level. In addition whenever an enemy attempts to turn or rebuke undead created by the Sinister Servant of Nerull they are treated as if they have turn resistance + 2.
Rebuke Undead: A Sinister Servant of Nerull adds his Sinister Servant Levels to his cleric levels for all rebuking purposes.
Improved Rebuking: Now a Sinister Servant of Nerull can command an additional amount of HD with his rebuke undead class feature equal to his charisma modifier (This extra HD is doubled by his shadow domain ability).
Profane Corruption: (Sp) Once per day per charisma modifier the Sinister Servant can use the spell contagion as a spell like ability.
Empowered Pain: (Ex) Whenever a Sinister Servant of Nerull of second level casts an inflict wounds spell that spell is treated as if empowered.
Aura of Fatigue: (Su) Starting at third level all enemies within 10ft of the Servant take a -2 penalty on will saves.
Bonus Domain: At 5th level a Servant gains access to a new domain. He may select either the Fear, Evil, Undeath, or Deathbound domain.
Maximize Pain: (Ex) Whenever a Sinister Servant of Nerull of sixth level casts an inflict wounds spell that spell is treated as if maximized. This ability replaces Empowered Pain.
Negative Energy Burst: (Su) As a standard action a Servant of Nerull who is at least 8th level can create a negative energy burst that deals 1d6 points of negative energy damage to all enemy living creatures within 100 feet of the character. Living creatures are allowed a reflex save for half damage (DC equal to 10 + class levels of the Servant). This ability uses up two turning attempts. The Servant of Nerull can't use this ability unless he has at least two turning attempts left for the day.
Supreme Pain: (Ex) Whenever the Sinister Servant of Nerull of 10th level casts an inflict wounds spell that spell is treated as if empowered and maximized. This ability replaces Maximize and Empowered Pain.
Shadow Domain:

1: Chill Touch
2: Chill Metal
3: Ray of Exhaustion
4: Armor of Darkness
5: Crawling Darkness
