3.5 D&D Blighter
After playing around with it I felt it was too much info to squeeze into 10 levels. I made it a full 20 level class instead. You can not start this at first level but the when, why, and who are all included. Any ideas, comments, smart ass comments are welcome. I really wanna make this fun and balanced to the druid. Thanks and enjoy!!!
Blighter
Blighters bring desolation wherever they tread.
Requirements:
ability to cast divine magic
Pestilence Domain
Base Attack Bonus: +4
Knowledge Nature 5 ranks
Profession herbalist 5 ranks
Alignment: Any nongood
Hit die d8
Skill points
4 + Int
Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Blighters gain no weapon or armor proficiencies.
Spells per Day:
She must choose her spells from the blighter spell list, and druid spell list that isn't plant or animal(druid spell counts as 1 level higher in spells per day). A Blighter absorbs all divine caster levels. The Blighter loses the abiliity to cast divine spells from previous divine spell casting class, but not its abilities.
To cast a blighter spell, a blighter must have a Wisdom score of at least 10 + the spell’s level, so a blighter with a Wisdom of 10 or lower cannot cast these spells. Blighter bonus spells are based on Wisdom, and saving throws against these spells have a DC of 10 + spell level + the blighter’s Wisdom modifier. A blighter has access to any spell on the list and can freely choose which to prepare, just as a druid. A blighter prepares and casts spells just as a druid does (though a blighter cannot spontaneously cast summon spells).
The default divine focus for any spell cast by a blighter is a desiccated sprig of holly or mistletoe. Any material component for a blighter’s spell must have been dead for at least a day before use.
Deforestation (Sp):
A blighter can kill all nonsentient plant life within a radius of 20 feet per blighter level as a full-round action once per day. If a potentially affected plant is under the control of another (such as a druid’s liveoak or a dryad’s home tree), the controller can make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + blighter level + blighter’s Wis modifier) to keep it alive. Affected plants immediately cease photosynthesis, root tapping, and all other methods of sustenance. Like picked flowers, they appear vibrant for several hours, but within a day, they turn brown and wither. Except for plants selected by a controller, nothing can grow in a deforested area until it has a hallow spell cast upon it and it is reseeded.
Deforestation works in any terrain, but deforesting a sandy desert, ice flow, or other environment with only sparse vegetation does not empower the character to cast spells. Needs to consume 1 pound of living vegetation/day to cast spells. It can also locate living vegetation with 100'/caster level The blighter gains access to her daily spells through deforestation. If she goes more than 24 hours without deforesting a wooded area, she cannot cast spells until she does so.
Summon Undead (Sp):
This spell functions like summon monster I (PH 285), except that you summon an undead creature. A Blighter can use this ability 1/day per wisdom modifier

This effect deals 1d6 points of fire damage to all creatures within 10 feet (Reflex half; save DC is 10 + blighter’s class level + blighter’s Wis modifier) and ignites flammable objects it touches. Blighters delight in starting wildfires and often use this ability to do so. an extra d6 is added every 2 blighter levels. Can use 2x wisdom moodifier/day.

At 2nd level and higher, a blighter no longer needs food or water to survive.
Undead Wild Shape (Sp):
At 3rd level, the blighter gains a version of the wild shape ability.

The blighter gains one extra use per day of this ability at every even blighter level after 3rd. In addition, she gains the ability to take the shape of a Large at 5th level, Huge at 7th level, and incorporeal at 9th level. The blighter’s animal form is altered as follows:

-AC: The silveraith has a deflection bonus to its AC equal to 5 + its Charisma bonus. As an incorporeal creature, it has no natural armor bonus.
-Attacks: The silveraith can make a number of incorporeal touch attacks equal to the base creature's number of natural attacks. A silveraith applies its Dexterity modifier to its touch attack rolls.
-Spells: A silveraith can cast any spells it could cast while alive, except for healing spells or other spells utilizing positive energy.
-Immunities (Ex): Silveraiths are immune to cold, electricity, polymorph, and mind-affecting attacks.
-Incorporeal Subtype: A silveraith can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, +1 or better magic weapons, spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities.

-Challenge Rating: Same as the base creature + 2
(At 16th level)
-Damage: A silveraith's incorporeal touch attacks function as inflict serious wounds spells that deal 3d8+1 points of damage per level (maximum 3d8+10). A successful Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 caster level + Charisma modifier) reduces the damage by half.
-Magic Absorption (Su): A silveraith can ready an action to absorb spells targeted at it as if it were a rod of absorption. When it absorbs spell energy, it creates a backlash of negative energy that deals 1d6 points of damage per absorbed spell level to the caster of the spell (Will save from caster of spell DC). A negative energy protection spell negates this damage, and undead spellcasters are actually healed by this effect.
Swarm Shape (Sp):At 16th level the Blighter can undead wild shape and gain the feats, supenatural, extraordinary, spell like abilities and atacks.
undead wild shape size (Sp):Beginning at 9th level a Blighter can undead wild shape into a different size category depending on casters level.

Animate Dead Animal (Sp): This ability, gained at 6th level, functions like an animate dead spell, except that it affects only corpses of animal creatures and requires no material component. It is usable once per day.
Cardiovascular Control (Ex): only needs to breath 1/minute, and can exhale to communicate or cast spells. Each round spent talking reduces the minute by one round.
Unbond (Sp): Beginning at 8th level, a blighter can temporarily separate a bonded animal or magical beast (such as an animal companion, familiar, or mount) from its master once per day. The target creature must be within 40 feet of both its master and the blighter. If the master fails a Will save (DC 10 + blighter level + blighter’s Wis modifier), the bond terminates as if the servitor had died, though this does not cause experience loss in the case of a familiar. Normally hostile creatures attack their masters but are otherwise unaffected. The bond returns after 1 minute per blighter level, restoring all benefits. Alternatively, the master can regain the servitor through the normal methods of acquisition.
Plague (Su): At 10th level and higher, a blighter can spread disease over a large area. This ability functions like the contagious touch ability, except that no attack roll is required and it affects all targets the blighter designates within a 20-foot radius. Plague is usable once per day.
