There are laws that govern the lives of ordinary folk,so it stands to reason that there are laws that govern other aspects of reality. This is the principle behind the cosmic judge. Their powers come from diligent study of the law,and its affect on reality.

Law (Ex): In their studies of the law,cosmic judges come across special laws that govern different aspects of the Cosmos. At 1st,3rd,5th,and 7th level, the judge can choose a law from the table below. She cannot choose the same law twice.
{table=head]Law|Benefit|
Law of the Arcane| +2 bonus on all saves against arcane spells|
Law of the Divine| +2 bonus on all saves against divine spells|
Law of the Planes| +1 on all hit rolls against elementals and outsiders,+2 on Survival checks made on other planes
Law of Battle| +1 bonus to attack rolls and AC
Law of Shaping| +2 bonus on all Craft checks
Law of the Beasts| +1 on attack rolls made against animals
Law of the Land| +2 on Knowledge(geography) and Survival checks[/table]
Lawful Strike (Ex): All attacks made by the cosmic judge are considered to have the Lawful descriptor for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.
Mechanus Domain: A fourth level cosmic judge gains access to the Mechanus cleric domain for free. If the player does not have access to the Mechanus domain,he recieves the law domain instead.
Judge's Intuition(Ex): A 6th level cosmic judge is adept at separating fact from fiction. She gains a competence bonus on Sense Motive checks made to disbelieve a Bluff qual to 2+one half her level. Against a Chaotic aligned creature the bonus increases by one.
Undying Justice(Su): Even in death,a cosmic judge can still sentence the unjust. A cosmic judge who is terribly wronged in death (DM's discretion) may call down a curse upon her killer.
The total number of the judge's HD determines the affect of the curse. A judge who bestows such a curse can not be raised other than by a true ressurection spell. If a judge is raised in such a manner,the curse is immeadiatley lifted.
{table=head]HD or Level|Effect|
1-4| Nothing
5-8| As bestow curse
9-12| As up to four bestow curses
13-16| As limited wish,or up to ten bestow curses
17-20| As wish,or up to four limited wishes,or up to 25 bestow curses
21+| DM's discretion[/table]
Judge's Wrath(Ex): A judge can be greatly angered by an unlawful creature. Once per day,while fighting a nonlawful creature,she may rage as a barbarian as one fourth her cosmic judge level,rounded up.
Power of Law(Su): At 10th level,a cosmic judge is filled with the power of the law. She gains damage reduction 5 against chaotic aligned creatures and a +2 bonus on hit rolls or saving throws made against chaotic creatures or effects. She casts all spells with the lawful descriptor at +1 caster level.
