Steal Heart: At level 1, the Raven Mocker has already acquired the power to bring death. Once a day, he may make an unarmed attack against a single humanoid target during which he attempts to tear the target's heart from their chest. If the attack hits, the target must succeed on a fortitude save (10 + 1/2 the Raven Mocker's level + Cha Modifier) or they die instantly.
Humanoid creatures, such as undead, that do not need hearts to function or do not have them are unaffected by this ability. The Raven Mocker gains additional uses of this ability at levels 5, 10, 15, and 20.
Talons: At level 1, the Raven Mocker's nails have become like claws. He gains +1 piercing damage on all unarmed attacks. The added damage increases by +1 at levels 5, 10, 15, and 20.
Improved Unarmed Strike: At level one, the Raven Mocker gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. He receives the benefits of the feat while unarmed or while wearing gauntlets.
Raven's Cry: At level 2, the Raven Mocker can cry like a raven to fill his enemies with fear. Once a day, as a full-round action, the Raven Mocker can let out a raven's cry that listeners will be able to tell is somehow unnatural. All creatures within a 50-ft radius of him must succeed on a will save (10 + 1/2 Raven Mocker's level + Cha Modifier) or become frightened. Creatures that are immune to fear are unaffected by this ability. The Raven Mocker gains additional uses of this ability at levels 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20.
Fiery Flight: At level 3, the Raven Mocker can fly through the air, wreathed in fire and and trailing sparks. Once a day, the Raven Mocker may fly at a speed of 60ft (good) for a number of rounds equal to his level. The fire that follows him is illusionary and harmless. He gains additional uses of this ability at levels 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18.
Shadow Form: At level 3, the Raven Mocker may cover himself in shadows to become invisible. Once a day, he may turn invisible for a number of rounds equal to his level. The invisibility effect is not dispelled by attacking. He gains additional uses of this ability at levels 10, 15, and 20.
Devour Heart: At level 10, the Raven Mocker can eat the hearts he steals to gain greater power. As a full round action, the Raven Mocker may ingest a heart he has acquired using his Steal Heart ability. He gains a bonus of 1d4+1 to his Str and Con.
Immune Poison/Disease: At level 15, the Raven Mocker gains supernatural fortitude. He becomes immune to all poisons and diseases.
Immortal: At level 20, the Raven Mocker need no longer fear death from old age. He no longer takes penalties from aging, though his appearence will grow older.
I based this class on the legend of the witch by the same name from the Cherokee. I was thinking of a fiendish raven familiar, but ruled that out. Are abilities too powerful, too weak? The Immortality was just because that's what they are meant to do, but it isn't neccessary for anything. I was originally going to make sShadow Form a concealment instead of invis, was the duration too short. Duration too sort for Firey Flight? Info please. Typing bad cause I have to go. oh, should Devour be based on HD of creatures haert cam from?
