Eldritch Cultist
"Great power comes with great sacrifice."
~A Eldritch Cultist of Orcus

Eldritch cultists are worshippers of ancient vile and cruel beings, whether demons, power full aberrations, elder evils, or worse. Cultists work in shadow societies and religious sects behind the scenes of society, constantly aiming to further the will of their masters and sacrificing hapless victims to empower their dark rituals. Cultists are shunned by most lawful and non-evil societies, and looked down upon as crazed fanatics and madmen.
Adventures
An Eldritch cultist might go on adventure to further their own ends or the ends of their sect or their masters. Often journeying to retrieve powerful relics or tomes of forbidden knowledge.
Characteristic
Eldritch cultists are secretive and introvert, preferring to keep their privacy for them selves. This is understandable as most societies and clerical orders hunt down and burn cultists on the stake.
Alignment
Cultists tend to be unlawful, working in areas where their worship is frowned upon. Both good and evil cultists exist, although the later is more common, while a good cultists might worship a good god or celestial being in an evil society.
Religion
Only a few cultists worship gods, the rest worship powerful demons, devils, aberrations, celestial or whatnot.
Background
Most cultists learn their craft through visions, ancient forbidden tomes or when they are introduced into a circle of other cultists. Some cultist traditions are inherited in the family, while others are recruited into a circle through promise of powers or change.
Races
Most cultists are humans, as the promise of power beyond imagination and immortality appeal more to the short-lived fortune hunting race. Other cultists are often half-orcs, or even halflings and gnomes. Only a select few elves and half-elves become cultists.
Other Classes
Cultists work well with clerics sharing their religious philosophies. They share the hunger for forbitten knowledge and strive for power many wizards do and may work well with people of this class. Evil or neutral cultists seldom get alone with paladins, as both classes share a fanatical view on the world that my very well intervene.
Role
A cultists may take the same role as a cleric or wizard, blasting spells, summoning monsters from beyond reality or sacrificing their own energy to heal or aid others.

Game Rule Information
Eldritch cultists have the following game rule statistics:
Abilities: Cultists uses intelligence to cast rituals, and therefore need high intelligence scores to empower their spells. Likewise, many cultists need constitution so they have hit points to fuel their spells and give them high concentration scores. Depending on the setting and the focus of the cultist, they may need high charisma scores or strength scores as well.
Alignment: Any non-lawful
Hit Dice: d8

Class Skills
The cultist’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Concentration (Con), Decipher Script (Int), Gather Information (Cha), Hide (Dex), Knowledge (Arcana) (Int), Knowledge (Religion) (Int), Knowledge (The planes) (Int), Knowledge (Local) (Int), Move Silently (Dex), Spellcraft (Int) and Use Magic Device (Cha). See Chapter 4: Skills for skill descriptions.
Skill Points at 1st Level: (2 + Int modifier) × 4.
Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 2 + Int modifier.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the eldritch cultist.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A cultist is proficient with all
simple weapons, plus the scimitar, scythe, sickle and whip. Cultists are proficient with light armor.
Because the cultists does not cast arcane spells, they are not subject to arcane spell failure.

Rituals
All eldrith cultists get a number of sigils at each level. All rituals require a number of sigils, often in different combinations. There exist a lot of different seals, all with special descriptors which is required to cast rituals of the same descriptor.
As long as a ritual is in effect, sigils used to cast that ritual is dormant. Dormant rituals cannot be used until the rituals duration ends.
A cultist can choose to channel a ritual for additional rounds, every round paying the sacrifice again to maintain the ritual and adding a power point to it. Channelled rituals are stronger than those cast as a standard action and may last longer because of the additional power points added to it. For each round a ritual is channelled, the cultist must pay the sacrifice. You can however not take other actions while channelling a ritual and all adjacent enemies may take an attack of opportunity each round you choose to continue channelling it.
If stricken while channelling the ritual, a cultist must succeed a concentration check or fail the casting, losing all added power points in the process. All sigils used in the ritual becomes dormant a number of rounds equal to the power points invested in the ritual. The concentration check is equal to 10 + damage dealt to the cultist.
Instead of channelling, a cultist can choose just to cast the ritual as a standard actions, this however only gives the ritual a single power point, but still losing one round worth of sacrifice. This provokes an attack of opportunity from all adjacent enemies threatening the cultist’s square. If stuck by a weapon, the cultist must succeed a Concentration check with a DC of 10 + damage dealt, or fail the ritual. If the ritual is failed, all sigils used in the ritual become dormant for the next round.
Other cultists can choose to aid in a channelled ritual by adding their own sacrifices. Each round an aiding cultist channels the ritual with the original cultist adds another power point to the ritual. A aiding cultist is forced to stop aiding a ritual once the original cultist stops channelling the ritual.
The rituals sacrifice can come from three pools; the cultist himself, a willing sacrifice, or an unwilling sacrifice. All unwilling sacrifices only gives halve power points and must be helpless for the sacrifice to have any effect. A sacrifice must be at least within 10ft. of the cultist.
To learn or cast a ritual, an eldritch cultist must have a Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level and have learned all sigils required to cast it.
The DC required to resist a ritual is equal to 10 + spell level + ½ power points added rounded down.

Sigils Three tiers of sigils exist, lesser sigils; sigils; and greater sigil. Rituals requiring sigils are more powerful than rituals requiring lesser sigils. Riturals requiring greater sigils are the most power full rituals the cultist can learn.
Every-time a cultist learns a new sigil, he must choose a sigil of appropiate tier on Sigil list (See below).

Glyphs
Cultists can inscribe objects or areas with magic glyphs (See individual below). There exist two types of glyphs, touch glyphs and visual glyphs. To trigger a touch glyph, the subject must touch it or stand on a square with a touch glyph inscribed on it. To trigger a visual glyph is triggered if a character is within 60ft. and looks directly at it (Spot 16). All glyphs can only affect one creature at time.
A cultist can inscribe a object or square with a glyph using three full round actions. This provoke attacks of opportunity, and the cultist mus succeed a concentration check with a DC of 10 + damage dealt if hit or fail the glyph and be forced to start over. A cultist can only inscribe a glyph per day per point of charisma modifier (Minimum 1).
A cultist learn one glyph at level 1, and every 4 level thereafter.

Cultist Focus: All cults worship certain creatures and entities, often with its own symbols and rituals. Depending on cultist, the cultist chooses a cultist focus fitting his alignment and belief. All cultist focuses gives the cultist access to certain glyphs and abilities related to focus. The cultist gains an ability at 2nd, 8th, 14th and 20th level.

Components: V, S
Power Points: 5 hit points/channelling
Range: Medium (100 feet + 10 feet per caster level.)
Target: A corpse
Duration: Concentration
Saving Throw: -
Spell Resistance: No

You animate and take control of a corpse as if it was a puppet and you were its puppet master. A puppeteered corpse is truly a horrid sight as the ritual does not require the corpse to be in any particulate shape, and a puppeteered corpse often will be just a floating bunch of entrails, disembodied body-parts and floating bones.

You animate a corpse as if it were a doll. The corpse acts exactly as a zombie or skeleton of appropriate size, except it is not undead but just a puppet moved by force. It reacts exactly as you see fit as if you were linked by a telepathic bond. The “zombie” has Turn Immunity and is neither healed nor damaged by both positive and negative energy. In addition it has 5 hp per power point channeled into the spell, as it, unlike an undead, does not need a consistent body to function. It also gains a fly speed (Perfect) of 10 ft. as the powers animating it can also slowly lift it off ground. The ritual ends if the “zombie” is disintegrated or otherwise utterly destroyed. A corpse brought to 0 hit points kills it and ends the ritual, but the caster can reinitiate the ritual in the next round as the ritual does not require the corpse to be in any particulate shape when animated. The ritual ends if the corpse is moved outside range or it enters a Antimagic Field or is dispelled. This ritual can only animate subjects that would be viable subjects for the skeleton and/or zombie template.

Feats

Ritualistic Nature[General]
You learn a new sigil.
Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +1
Benefit: You gain a lesser sigil of your choice which can be used to cast rituals. If you're a cultist, you add this sigil to the sigils you already have. If you're not, you can now cast rituals like a cultist using the sigil.

Sigil-Bound Strike[General]
You can imbue your weapon with the power of a elemental sigil.
Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +2, Greater Infernal Sigil; Greater Cryonic sigil; or Greater Kevaric Sigil
Benefit: Once a day you can imbue a strike with a weapon with the power of a sigil. You can use a sigil to make a weapon strike deals +2d4 elemental damage, if the used sigil is a Greater Infernal Sigil, the damage is of the fire type; if the used sigil is a Greater Cryonic sigil, the strike's damage is of the cold type; and if the sigil used is a Greater Kevaric Sigil, the damage dealt is of the electricity type. The used sigil becomes dormant for 10 minutes.

Persistent Rituals[General]
Your spells become more potent and harder to resist.
Prerequisites: Cultist or able to cast and channel rituals
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on caster level checks (1d20 + caster
level) made to overcome a creature’s spell resistance.



Magic Items

Creating Magic Items:

Cultists, like other spell casters, can create magic items. To calculate a spells level for magic item creation, use the following:
{table=head] |
Spell Level | Take the lowest level that the number of sigils required to cast the ritual, add; +2 for each sigil of the same type of highest tier sigil; +1 for each sigil of same type that is not highest tier sigil needed for the ritual; +1 for each additional sigil of same level, +1 for each 2 sigil of lower tier rounded down of same tier level. Take the highest level spell available to a wizard of that level and use that to determine spell level.|
[/table]
Example 1:
Horns of Ibex: 2 Greater Mutation Sigils, 1 Greater Infernal Sigil ,
2 Greater sigils + 1 sigil: 14th level cultist.
+2 levels because there is two greater sigils of the same type, +1 because there is 2 greater sigils, and +½ rounded down (+0) for the Greater Infernal Sigil = Level 17 cultist. A wizard of 17th level is able to cast level 9 spells. Therefore Horns of Ibex counts as a ninth level spell when it comes to crafting.

Example 2:
Cthathugar’s Mark: 2 Infernal Sigils, 2 Cryonic Sigils or 2 Keravic sigils
A level 1 cultist is able to cast 2 lesser sigils, so therefore we start with level 1 cultist. Then we add +2 levels because two of the sigils share a type no matter what; thats level 3. Then we add +1 because there is two sigils (yes this stacks); that gives us a 4th level cultist. A 4th level wizard's highest level spell is 2. So Cthathugar’s Mark counts as a 2nd level spell for item creation.

Templates

Warped Creature
Warped creatures are creatures changed through foul rituals and or creatures imprisoned on many of the planes which the far realm leaks into.

"Warped" is an inherited template that can be added to any corporeal animal, monstrous humanoid, magical beast, plant, or vermin (referred to hereafter as the base creature).
A warped creature uses all the base creature's statistics and abilities except as noted here.
Size and Type: The creature's type changes to aberration. Do not recalculate the creature's Hit Dice, base attack bonus, saves, or skill points. The creature gains the augmented subtype if necessary. Size is unchanged.
Natural armor bonus improves by 2 (this stacks with any natural armor bonus the base creature has).
Special Qualities: A warped creature has all the special qualities of the base creature, plus the following special qualities.
Spell Resistance (Ex): A warped creature gains spell resistance equal to 5 + its Hit Dice. If the creature already has spell resistance, use the greater of the two values.
Resistance: The warped creature gains resistance to one energy type based on HD. (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic).
Damage Reduction (Ex): Warped creatures have damage reduction based on HD.

{table=head] HD | Resistance | Damage Reduction
1-3 | 5 | - |
4-7 | 5 | 5/magic |
8-11 | 10 | 5/magic |
12+ | 10 | 10/magic |
[/table]

Abilities: Increase from the base creature as follows: Str +2, Con +2, Wis -2, Cha -2.
Challenge Rating: HD 3 or less, as base creature; HD 4 to 7, as base creature +1; HD 8 or more, as base creature +2.
Alignment: Usually chaotic (any). Warped creatures are often chaotic and unpredictable.
Level Adjustment: +2.
