The Necromantic Codex

I realized I had a lot of assorted undead and necromancy related homebrew lying around from my campaigns so I figured I should merge them with the incanter base classes I was working on into a compendium where I store my massive amount of necromancy related homebrew. I shall now pour all my necromancy related homebrew into this thread for easy access for myself and others.

Races

Hesir

Spoiler

Show

Hesir are a race of giants who typically live in the colder mountainous regions of the world. They are less primitive than other giants and tend to use technology to enhance their forges and other metalworking skills. They usually form small villages or tribes located around a large fortress where the leaders and the warriors of the clan stay. They often live in a honor and warrior based society. The often lawful Hesir find themselves having a skilled affinity with necromancy and often use undead to preform manual labor, a task they find demeaning. Hesirs tend to be rash in judgement and stubborn once they make a decision. Clans of Hesir have been destroyed by their leaders refusing to surrender or change their plans in the face of certain defeat. Not that a death in battle is a bad thing in Hesir culture.

Hesir Posses the following racial traits

Incantation Base Classes:

Incantations and Soul Power
The following three base classes are incanters use Incantations and Soul Power to fight their foes. Incanters carve intricate tattoos on their body and power them with the essence and power from their soul and lifeforce. These tattoos act as a battery and when an Incanter wishes to activate them they call out an intricate chant called an Incantation depending on what ability they want to activate. However, once a given Incantation is used the incanter needs to recharge them. If they wish to do so quickly then each class has a different way to recharge them. Death Knights recharge their incantations with life force of slain foes, Plague Witches harvest creature's life force that their diseases consume and Black Blood Vanguards siphon away creature's very sanity to help power their incantations. Incantations are supernatural abilities that require verbal components and the actual tattoos present and intact in order to be used. These tattoos can vary from full body markings to intricate patterns covering a single hand. If destroyed or ruined an incanter can reform them with 8 hours worth of effort via magical means as their form is linked to the incanter's soul and not only their body (If the body part that the tattoos were on were destroyed they can move the tattoos to another part of the body). When an incanter calls out an incantation they can also retain some of it's remaining power as "Soul Power '' which can be spent to further augment their other incantations and abilities.

Each of the following incanters has a number of Incantations that they know and these Incantations can be drawn from certain schools of incantations depending on the class. At the start of an encounter the following incanter base classes have access to all of their known incantations. After an incanter uses an incantation than he is unable to use that incantation again until he refreshes it. All of the following classes have a different method of refreshing incantations in combat. Out of combat an incantation can be refreshed with a minute of concentration. Many incantations reference an incanter level. That number is equal to the number of class levels in an incanter base class plus any prestige classes that progress incantations. For the purpose of magic item creation feats Incanter level can be substituted for caster level and any incantation that duplicates a spell can be used in place of that spell for prerequisite purposes. Incanters gain access to new levels of incantations at the same speed as a wizard gains access to new spells, 1st at 1st level, 2nd at 3rd level, 3rd at 5th level, etc. They can swap out any of their Incantations for another that they qualify for at every even level of an incantation base class or every third level of a prestige class that advances incantations. If they wish they can replace a lower level incantation for a higher level one if after they swap out the old incantation for the new one the incanter still qualifies for all of their incantations. Incantations have saving throw dc's equal to 10 + the level of the incantation + the incanting ability of the base class (Charisma for Death Knights, Intelligence for Corpse Crafters and Wisdom for Plague Witches)

Soul Power is another resource for incanters, they can harvest either leftover energy from their incantations or lifeforce from other creatures depending on their class abilities. Every time an incanter uses an incantation with a standard action or full round activation time he gains 10 Soul Power. When he uses an Incantation with a swift or move action activation time the incanter gains 5 Soul Power. In addition every time an incanter kills a creature with an incantation he gains 10 soul power. An incanter can only gain up to 30 soul power each round. An incanter can have a maximum amount of Soul Power depending on which incanter base class he is. Soul Power can be used to augment certain incantations to allow them to accomplish more powerful and varied effects. Certain incantations can be augmented by spending Soul Power. Each augmentation can only be selected once per use of the incantation. Soul power regenerates out of combat at a rate of 10 for every minute not spent actively engaged with an opponent.

Death Knight

"My patience has ended! Let battle be joined!

Info: The Death Knights are necromantic warriors who usually have a great love for battle. They wade into the thicket of melee combat and use their necromantic and self healing abilities to maintain their health while simultaneously killing their foes.

Characteristics: This class focuses on self healing and debuffing opponents. Taking damage should not be as much of a worry for them since they can heal easily when facing multiple opponents. With its incantations it can almost be an entire party by itself.

Races: Most races tend to despise Death Knights so most races do not have any inclination towards becoming a Death Knight.

Alignment: Death Knights tend to have different goals and reasons for following those goals. Most Death Knights are lawful and there are more evil death knights than good aligned ones. However, most Death Knights are neutral and see the debate between Good and Evil to be a pointless argument at best.

Other Classes: Death Knight's love to travel with Dread Necromancers, Crusaders, and other lawful classes. Paladins tend to despise Death Knights for obvious reasons, seeing them as ruthless swords for hire.

Role: The main role a Death Knight plays is that of a frontline melee combatant. With his undead minions and self healing he should be able to wade in the thicket of combat and emerge relatively unscathed. His incantations let him deal with any foe he can't quickly kill with his blade.

GAME RULE INFORMATION
Death Knights have the following game statistics.
Abilities: Strength is the most important ability for Death Knights since it modifies their melee attack rolls and damage rolls as well as modifying several of their Incantation abilities. Constitution is also important as it modifies their hit points and several class abilities. Charisma is also important as it modifies the Death Knight's incantation's save dc's.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Death Knight.

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: Death Knight are proficient with all simple weapons and martial weapons and with all types of armor and shields.

Incantations The Death Knight is an incanter with access to four schools of incantations, Boreal, Pain, Undeath and Vampiric. He begins the game with 2 incantations and gains incantations as he levels as shown on the table above.

He refreshes a number of his incantations equal to his charisma modifier whenever he kills or knocks a creature that would give him experience points to 0 hit points or below. The Death Knight can refresh his incantations after killing a summoned creature despite the fact that summoned creatures normally do not give experience points.

The Death Knight can have a maximum of 50 soul power at a time. The Death Knight uses charisma to determine the DC of his incantations.

Rebuke Undead The Death Knight can rebuke undead as if he was a cleric with equal levels as his class level. He may do this 3 times per day plus his charisma modifier.

The Unliving: (Ex) The Death Knight begins to take some traits commonly associated with undead during his training.
Least: The Death Knight needs half as much sleep, food and water as normal creatures of his race. In addition he gains a + 2 bonus on saves against negative energy effects, diseases, and poisons.

Lesser: The Death Knight gains Tomb Tainted Soul as a bonus feat. In addition his bonus to saves increases to + 4 and he becomes immune to negative levels.

Greater: When a critical hit or sneak attack is scored on the Death Knight, there is a 50% chance that the critical hit or sneak attack is negated and damage is instead rolled normally. This stacks with any other sources of fortification or similar abilities the Death Knight may have. In addition, when they use their rebuke undead ability they treat undead's turn resistance as 4 lower than normal (minimum 0).

Dark: The Death Knight becomes immune to ability damage, ability drain, disease and poisons. In addition, effects that force a fortitude saving throw without affecting objects have a 50% chance to fail when used on the Death Knight unless the effect has a particular effect against undead.

Persistence: The Death Knight gains endurance as a bonus feat. At 9th level he gains Steadfast Determination as a bonus feat.

Culling Strike: (Ex) After killing an enemy that would refresh his incantations the Death Knight can make one free attack against an enemy within reach. If this attack hits the Death Knight heals 2d8 damage + 1 per class level and gains 10 soul power. At 10th level the hp healed is increased to 4d8 + 2 per class level, at 18th level it increases to 6d8+ 3 per class level. This ability can be used once per round and once per encounter for every 3rd level past 3.

Spectral Mount: (Sp) As an at-will full round action the Death Knight can conjure a spectral horse to serve as his mount. This mount functions similarly to an unseen servant except it has the form of a ghostly armored horse and can function as a mount for the Death Knight and has hit points equal to half of the Death Knight and it has a 60ft movement speed. It is treated as if it has a strength score of 18 for the purpose of carrying and moving objects, but the Death Knight's equipment does not count against the Mount's carrying capacity. Only the Death Knight can ride this mount and he can only have one summoned at a time, summoning another one dismisses the first.

Bonus Feat: At fifth level and every five levels after the Death Knight may select a Fighter Bonus Feat or a Leech Feat.

Faithful Lieutenant: (Su) The Death Knight gains the services of a Doom Knight (See Monster's Below) to serve them in their travels. This Doom Knight is always 1 HD below the Death Knight's HD. The Death Knight shares a strong bond with the Doom Knight if the Doom Knight is destroyed the Death Knight can restore him to 1 hp with a five minute ritual that costs 500 gp of onyx and requires the Doom Knight's corpse. The corpse must be mostly intact in order to be usable to revive the Doom Knight. If the Doom Knight dies and the Death Knight is unable to retrieve the corpse or the corpse is utterly destroyed he can perform a ritual that forms a new Doom Knight takes 24 hours to complete, 200gp worth of material costs per HD and a fresh medium sized humanoid corpse (The humanoid must have died within the past day). The Death Knight must use this ritual to gain his first Doom Knight. The Death Knight can select any feats or skills the Doom Knight gains or any other decisions appropriate for the Doom Knight upon gaining more HD. (The Doom Knight's class skills are the same as the Death Knight).

Their Lieutenant can also form a spectral mount the same as the Death Knight. Their mount improves at the same rate as the Death Knight.

Spectral Steed: The Death Knight's Spectral Mount doubles its movement speed.

Spectral Dragon: The Spectral Steed turns into a spectral dragon. The mount's strength score is now 28, has a 150 ft fly speed with perfect maneuverability and can now carry an additional two medium sized creatures (Or one large creature) instead of just the Death Knight. If the Death Knight wishes they can have the mount appear as a winged horse instead but this does not affect its statistics in any way.

Faithful Commander: (Su) The Death Knight's Doom Knight is increased to a Doom Knight Commander (See Monsters Below). The Doom Knight Commander still is 1 hd below the Death Knight.

Unholy Squadron: (Su) The Death Knight can now maintain undead animated via Undeath Incantations indefinitely. He can as a move action choose to permanently maintain up to 4 undead animated via 7th level incantations at a time. He can choose to treat undead animated by 8th level incantations as 2 undead and undead animated by 9th level incantations as 4 undead. If the Death Knight wants to swap undead he can simply select a new undead to maintain as a move action. If this causes him to go over his cap then he can choose which undead to stop maintaining and if they have already exceeded their normal duration then they are destroyed as normal.

True Death: (Su) Now anytime the Death Knight kills a creature it becomes almost impossible to be resurrected. In order to resurrect someone slain by the Death Knight they must make a caster level check against a dc of 15 + the Death Knight's incanter level. If the caster fails then the regents for the spell are still wasted. In addition, the Death Knight prevents any self resurrection abilities such as contingent resurrection, a lich's phylactery or a ghost's rejuvenation ability or similar abilities. Such abilities simply fail to work if the Death Knight deals the killing blow on such an opponent.

Plague Witch

"Everything returns to the grave eventually. I just speed up the process"

Info: Plague Witches are necromantic casters who hurl devastating curses at their foes to hamper and weaken opponents. They focus on corrupting and destroying large amounts of enemies at once. They still can focus and inflict great pain to singular strong opponents that stand in their path though.

Characteristics: Plague Witches tend to be aloof and outcast from society. Hiding in swamps and being at one with nature they develop toxins and other plans to either gather lost lore or to further their own power and prestige in the world.

Races: No singular race tends to be Plague Witches more than any other.

Alignment: Plague Witches tend to be neutral and many of them are neutral evil. A good aligned Plague Witch is not unheard of but it is a rare thing. Good aligned Plague Witches study toxins and diseases and learn how to prevent them in others and work to create cures for ravaging illness. Evil ones tend to not just rampantly spread plagues everywhere but won't hesitate to if they feel it will further their goals.

Other Classes: Plague Witches tend to travel alone and if they do travel with others it tends to be with other necromancers, rogues and shady characters. Most Plague Witches have problems dealing with paladins and clerics of healing gods, simply due to many Plague Witches' callous attitude towards life. Plague Witches can sometimes get along with druids, especially if the druid is a "Survival of the fittest" type of druid.

Role: This class focuses on debuffing and damaging a large group of enemies. They can use their incantations to survive long battles and even flee if necessary. Out of combat Plague Witches can use incantations to solve problems, command prisoners and a plethora of other uses.

GAME RULE INFORMATION
Plague Witches have the following game statistics.
Abilities: Wisdom is the most important ability score for the Plague Witch as it affects her incantation DC's and how high of a level incantation she can activate. Her charisma is also important as it modifies several of her class features including how many plagues she can have active at a time. Constitution is always important as it determines how many hit points she gains per level.

Alignment: Any
Hit Die: d6
Starting Age: As a druid.
Starting Gold: As druid

Class Skills
The Plague Witch's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Disguise (Cha), Listen (Wis), Heal (Wis) Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (Religion), Knowledge Arcane, (Int), Knowledge The Planes (Int), Knowledge (Nature) (Int), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Sleight of Hand (Dex), Spot (Wis), Use Magic Device (Cha)

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Plague Witch

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: Plague Witches are proficient with all simple weapons and light armor.

Incantations The Plague Witch is an incanter with access to four schools of incantations, Terror, Enervation, Corruption, Vampiric . She begins the game with 2 incantations and gains incantations as he levels as shown on the table above. (See More Details on Incanters above and a list of incantations below)

Whenever an enemy fails a save against the Plague Witch's lethal plagues (See Below) and is actually harmed by it, the Plague Witch gains one plague token. As a free action usable once per round a Plague Witch can regain an incantation if she has a number of plague tokens equal to the level of the incantation. Recovering an incantation this way sacrifices the plague tokens. A Plague Witch can gain a number of plague tokens per round equal to the 1 plus the Plague Witch's charisma modifier. Plague tokens deteriorate out of combat at a rate of 1 token per minute.

The Plague Witch can have a maximum of 100 soul power at a time. The Plague Witch uses wisdom to determine the DC of her incantations.

Plague: (Sp) The Plague Witch has numerous diseases and plagues hidden and coursing through within her body that don't harm her. This ability grants Plague Witches immunity to regular and magical diseases. The Plague Witch can inflict one of these diseases upon an opponent within 60 ft as a move action. This plague can take several forms (See below) as the Plague Witch has numerous toxins to inflict upon opponents. The Plague Witch starts with 1 plague from the lethal list and 1 plague from the utility list. The Plague Witch gains a new plague type from both lists and one additional plague from either the lethal or utility lists every 3 levels.

All lethal plagues function mostly the same way, each round at the beginning of the subject's turn they must make a saving throw or be affected by the plague form's effects. If a subject succeeds on two saving throws in a row then the subject shakes off the plague form.

Utility forms are slightly different, the opponent must fail an initial save to be affected and then must fail an additional save every hour rather than round unless otherwise noted. Utility forms don't deal damage to the subject but also don't grant plague tokens to the Plague Witch.

Regardless if the plagues are of a utility or a lethal form a Plague Witch can have a maximum number of plagues active equal to her charisma modifier +2 (minimum 1). Any casting of plague beyond this number cancels a previously cast plague and stops its effects. A Plague Witch can end a plague at any time.

Lethal plague forms are meant for use in combat and tend to cause intense pain, immobilization, weakening or damage to the subjects. Utility plague forms are for out of combat use and tend to focus around unique applications of toxins, such as confusing opponents making them susceptible to enchantments, or a plague that stops targets from lying if they fail a save. The saving throw for all plague abilities are equal to 10+1/2 incanter level + wisdom modifier. The format for plagues is Name: (Level Requirement, Type of Save (Reflex,Fort,Will)) Plagues are diseases and immunity to diseases grants immunity to plagues though stronger Plague Witches ignore this (see Infecting the Immortal below). Dispelling a plague functions the same as the subject succeeding on two saves to end the plague.

Plague counts as a single ability for feats and other effects such as Ability Focus or Empower Spell Like Ability. In the case of empower SLA or similar feats treat a particular plague as being a spell level equal to the maximum spell level a wizard would be able to select at the minimum level required to select the plague (So 2nd for a plague requiring 3rd, 5th level spell for a plague requiring 9th level, 9th level spell for a plague requiring 18th level).

Lethal Plagues

Spoiler

Show

Mental Plague: (1,Will) Whenever a subject fails a save against this plague they take two points of wisdom damage. Every 5th incanter level increases this by 1 (So 3 wisdom damage at 5th level 4 at 10th etc)

Enfeebling Malady: (1,Fort) Whenever a subject fails a save against this plague they take two points of strength damage. Every 5th incanter level increases this by 1 (So 3 strength damage at 5th level 4 at 10th etc)

Airborne Affliction: (1,Fort) This easily contagious plague has a range of long range (400ft + 40ft/Incanter Level) and if the Plague Witch is level 3 or higher its area of effect is increased by 5ft (See Burst Infection).

Draining Plague: (3,Will) Whenever a subject fails a save against this plague they take a stacking penalty to saving throws as this plague saps their ability to resist effects. While under the effects of this plague they suffer a -1 penalty on saving throws. For every save they fail against this ability the penalty increases by 1. This penalty lasts until the plague ends and for one minute after. The penalty increases by 2 for every failed save at 10th level.

Fearful Plague: (3,Will) This plague causes sweats and hallucinations of horrific images. Whenever a subject fails a save against this plague they become shaken which lasts until the plague ends. If they are already shaken they take a -1 penalty on attack rolls for every failed save until they are no longer shaken, frightened, panicked or cowering in fear. This is a mind affecting plague.

Black Flame: (6,Reflex) This disease causes black sores to appear on the creature's skin which spark and crackle, if the subject isn't fast enough at extinguishing these flames the sores burst into an open bonfire. Whenever a subject fails a save against this plague they combust in black flame. This black flame deals 1d12 profane damage per three class levels and burns the subject each round. Multiple failed saves don't increase this damage. These flames persist until the plague ends.

Siphoning Infection: (6,Fort) Whenever a subject fails a save against this plague the Plague Witch gains twice as many plague tokens as normal. These plague tokens don't count against your limit you can gain in a round.

Matter Consumption: (6,Fort) This plague can be used on objects, undead and constructs and the bacteria just devours the metal, bone or other material rapidly. The damage from this plague is reduced by the creature's hardness and is treated as magical slashing damage reduction for the purpose of damage reduction on creatures. This plague does not heal the Plague Witch or generate soul power but it still generates plague tokens.

Hemorrhaging Wounds: (9,Fort) Whenever a subject fails a save against this plague a wound starts bleeding from their form, this wound causes 1 point of damage each round until removed. These wounds stack for each failed saving throw. Unlike normal effects the wounds are not automatically cured when the plague ends, the subject must experience magical healing or have fast healing for the wounds to end.

Pestilence: (9,Fort) While under the effects of this plague the target starts to spread whatever germs and infections they have to others around them. Each round at the start of their turn the Plague Witch chooses one disease currently affecting the target. Every enemy within 20 ft of the target must make a fortitude save or contract that disease. Pestilence can not be spread by this effect.

Nauseating Illness: (9,Fort) Just by being affected by this plague the target creature is sickened while the plague lasts and for one round afterwards. Whenever a subject fails a save against this plague they are nauseated until the start of their next turn. This plague has a -4 penalty to its DC compared to other plagues.

Enervating Plague: (12,Reflex) Whenever a subject fails a save against this plague their effective HD is reduced by two for the purpose of level-dependent effects. This does not influence their actual HD for things like HP, Saves or Base Attack Bonus. This affects a target's Caster Level, Manifester Level and similar statistics. However, beyond that this effect is purely for things like sleep and negative levels which check if you are affected/die by how many HD you have. If they are reduced to 0 effective HD they fall into a coma for 1d6+2 days even if the plague ends. The HD reduction effect only lasts until the plague ends and for one hour afterwards.

Festering Plague: (12,Fort) This disease causes other plagues to infest into the target's soul making them devastatingly hard to remove and resist. Whenever a subject fails a save against this plague, select another plague they are affected by. That plague now needs three consecutive saving throws to end, has its DC increased by 3 and can not be removed by magical healing unless the effect is cast by a caster with a caster level 5 levels above the Plague Witch's incanter level. Unlike most plagues this effect does not end when Festering Plague ends.

Rampaging Fury: (12,Will) This disease is a modified festering anger and if the subject fails a will save against this effect they suffer the effect of the spell rage until the start of their next turn. This functions as the spell except as noted here. This plague is not a mind affecting effect as it works by biological manipulation, the target takes a -2 penalty on will saves and this applies on their next save against this plague. Once this plague ends the target is fatigued for one hour.

Siphoning Infection, Greater: (15,Fort) Whenever a subject fails a save against this plague the Plague Witch gains three times the normal amount of plague tokens. In addition, even on a successful saving throw the Plague Witch gains a single plague token regardless of the saving throw result. Plague Tokens gained via this ability do not count against the maximum gained in a round.

Blistering Death: (15,Reflex) Similar to the Black Flame plague, whenever a subject fails a save against this plague they combust in supernaturally powerful black flames. This black flame deals 1d10 profane damage per two class levels and burns the subject each round for the same damage. If a target is suffering from both this and the Black Flame the damage increases by 1 per dice for each plague. Multiple failed saves don't increase this damage. These flames persist until the plague ends.

Soul Devourer: (15, Fortitude) This plague deals twice as much damage as normal and inflicts two negative levels whenever the target fails their save. In addition, positive energy effects heal the subject one half of what they normally do.

Pestilence, Greater: (18,Fort) This works like pestilence except this plague can itself as well.

Black Death: (18,Fort) Whenever a subject fails two consecutive saving throws against this plague their body withers and dies. The saving throw for this ability is two less than normal for plagues.

Pandemic: (18,Fort) This functions as the spell contagion except each round the subject fails a saving throw they are infected with a new disease of the Plague Witch’s choice. Diseases caused by this plague deal twice as much ability damage as they normally would. The Plague witch can also spread any magical disease they have encountered before in addition to the standard options (Lethal And Utility Plagues can not be copied with this plague). These diseases have their DC set to this plague’s DC. This Plague’s DC is increased by 4.

Utility Plagues

Spoiler

Show

Toxin of Linked Vision: (1,Fort) This plague is specifically made to target vermin, insects and other non magical small animals. Any animal with HD equal to or less than 1/4 of the Plague Witch's class level (minimum 1hd) can be targeted by this toxin. The creature's vision is now linked with the Plague Witch and she can switch between her vision and this target with a move action. This toxin gives the Plague Witch control over the animals movements but it's strength is weakened and the animal can not attack and only perform one move action per turn. If the animal fails another fort save the animal dies from the toxin.

Tracking Affliction: (1,Will) This plague is used to track opponent's locations. While this plague is active the Plague Witch automatically knows the location of the target. Only one successful save is needed to remove this plague.

Sleeping Flu: (1,Will) This plague is causes exhaustion and eventually causes the target to fall asleep. The target must make a saving throw every 10 minutes. Failing the first one causes them to become fatigued for 8 hours, failing the next save causes them to fall asleep.

Lycanthrope Plague (Rat): (3, Fort) This is a plague that can infect someone to give them the power of a lycanthrope. If the target fails the initial save (He can do so willingly) he gains a +2 profane bonus to dexterity and a plus 1 profane bonus to natural armor. Every minute the plague is active the character must make another fort save. A failure causes the creature to take a -1 penalty to will saves while this plague is active. Two successful saves in a row are needed to end this effect.

White Blood Cell Injection: (3, Fort) This is a plague that can infects a target with a batch of microbes which spread throughout the target's body and help resist infection and injuries. This plague grants the subject a bonus on fortitude saves equal to the Plague Witch's wisdom modifier. This plague lasts until the target makes a 3 fortitude saves. If the target is suffering from any diseases when they are infected they can immediately make a fortitude save against that disease's save DC. If successful the diseases immediately ends. Saves against diseases do not count against the maximum number of saves this disease can protect against.

Lycanthrope Plague (Wolf): (3, Fort) This is a plague that can infect someone to give them the power of a lycanthrope. If the target fails the initial save (He can do so willingly) he gains a +2 profane bonus to strength and a plus 2 profane bonus to natural armor. Every minute the plague is active the character must make another fort save. A failure causes the creature to take a -1 penalty to will saves while this plague is active. Two successful saves in a row are needed to end this effect.

Truth Serum: (6,Will) This plague infects the brain and forces enemies to only be able to tell the truth. If the target fails a will save then he can only speak the truth for 10 minutes. After which he can simply be reinfected. However, using Truth Serum on the same target multiple times can be dangerous. Every time the subject fails a save after the first he takes 1 point of wisdom burn per previous attempt. Thus the second attempt deals 2 points, the third attempt deals 3, etc.

Lycanthrope Plague (Boar): (6, Fort) This is a plague that can infect someone to give them the power of a lycanthrope. If the target fails the initial save (He can do so willingly) he gains a +2 profane bonus to strength and con and a plus 4 profane bonus to natural armor. Every minute the plague is active the character must make another fort save. A failure causes the creature to take a -2 penalty to fort saves while this plague is active. Two successful saves in a row are needed to end this effect.

Contagion: (6, Fort) This plague functions as the spell contagion except as follows. This plague has an onset of one hour and if the subject fails they catch one of the diseases that can be spread via contagion (Set by the Plague Witch at the time of casting). Every time they fail the saving throw the disease reaches out and all creatures within 10ft of the creature have to make a save or contract the same disease (Regardless of how it normally is spread). After the subject fails a saving throw the disease has a normal incubation period method of propagation. If she wishes to, she can spread a disease she currently has stored via her carrier class feature (This does not consume the disease).

She can also infect an object or area but if she does so it takes an hour for the target to become contagious. If she chooses an area she covers a 30ft area and any creature walking through has to make a save at the disease's normal DC or become infected. For either an area or an object this plague lasts for 8 hours. The disease spreads in its normal method so if the disease is spread by ingestion then an infected object needs to be eaten for the victim to be infected. A Plague Witch can only infect an area with an Inhaled or Contact disease.

Produce Drug: (9, Varies (See Text)) The Plague Witch can infect a target with a particular drug (See BoVD). The Plague Witch can select to infect a target with Liquid Pain, Baccarn, Devil Weed, Sannaish, Mushroom Powder, or Vodare. Infecting a subject with a drug allows the subject to resist with a saving throw as normal for a drug (Such as a DC 14 fort save versus baccaran). The drug can not be used for any other purpose other than the initial, secondary and side effects of the drug (No using liquid agony for xp). In addition, this plague can not cause overdose. If it would, the plague instead has no effect.

Lycanthrope Plague (Bear): (9, Fort) This is a plague that can infect someone to give them the power of a lycanthrope. If the target fails the initial save (He can do so willingly) he gains a +4 profane bonus to strength and con and a plus 4 profane bonus to natural armor. Every minute the plague is active the character must make another fort save. A failure causes the creature to take a -3 penalty to fort saves while this plague is active. Four successful saves in a row are needed to end this effect.

Greater Tracking Affliction: (9,Will) This plague allows the Plague Witch to always know the target creature's location as well as being able to see 60ft around the subject at all times. This is not a divination effect. The target gets a saving throw only once every 24 hours instead of every hour.

Magic Eating Plague: (12, Will) The target of this plague must be either a willing or helpless creature, an ongoing magical effect, or an object. After a minute of infection every round the subject must make a will save (Ongoing Spells make a save equal to the caster's will save) . A failure means one ongoing magical effect is dispelled as by greater dispel magic. The effect dispelled is random. This plague can not dispel effects cast by a caster with a caster level 5 higher than the Plague Witch's incanter level.

Discerning Disease: (12, Fort) This plague is a bunch of divination infused microbes which scan and analyze the creature's biology. When this disease is first used the Plague Witch learns one racial supernatural or extraordinary ability of the target at random. Each minute afterwards the Plague Witch learns another ability. This plague requires 3 consecutive saves in order to remove. This plague is a divination effect.

Mutating Malady: (12, Fort) This plague rapidly mutates the target in a variety of ways chosen when cast. These mutations occur over the course of an hour and are permanent except for the ones marked with an *. Options marked with a * rot and decay to uselessness within 1d4 hours of this plague ending. While this plague is active the target suffers a -2 penalty to saving throws and for each option chosen the target takes 2 points of constitution damage from its effects.

Mutate Form: The target shifts form acting as a potent disguise acting as disguise self except the effect isn't illusionary and doesn't affect their clothes.
Grow Limb*: The target gains a single natural weapon or pair of natural weapons (a tentacle or two claws, etc) appropriate for their size or they can gain a flight speed with poor maneuverability or burrow speed equal to their base land speed
Harden Skin*: Improves the target's NA to a maximum of +5.
Regenerate: Regrow any lost limb or recover any scars or similar disfigurement

Lycanthrope Plague (Tiger): (15, Fort) This is a plague that can infect someone to give them the power of a lycanthrope. If the target fails the initial save (He can do so willingly) he gains a +6 profane bonus to strength and dex, a +4 profane bonus to con and a plus 6 profane bonus to natural armor. Every minute the plague is active the character must make another fort save. A failure causes the creature take 3d8 profane damage and to take a -3 penalty to fort saves while this plague is active. Four successful saves in a row are needed to end this effect.

Magic Devouring Plague: (15, Will) As Magic Eating Plague except that each round a subject must make a Will save or they lose one prepared spell or spell slot available to them. Psions lose a number of power points equal to half their HD.

Antimagic Plague: (15, Will) The target of this plague gains negates the first spell of 6th level or lower that targets them each round and gains spell resistance equal to 12 plus the Plague Witch's incanter level. If the target resists any spells they heal 5 HP per spell level of the spell resisted. However, this plague is taxing on a target's soul and each round they have this disease active they suffer 2d8 profane damage. They have to make a saving throw versus this disease every minute.

Temporal Disruption Plague: (18, Will) When this virus infects a target they must make a will save or have their temporal status thrown into disarray. Effectively this causes them to be affected as if by a time stop for 2 rounds. However upon returning the target is dazed (Even if the target is immune to daze) for one round with no saving throw to resist. The subject is not aware of what is going on unless they succeed on a DC 25 Knowledge (Arcana) or (Planes) check to figure out they are in a time stop effect. They do not know the duration of the effect either. While under the effect of this plague this effect repeats every hour and if the target tries to accelerate their personal time frame such as via time stop or similar effect they are dazed for one round when the effect ends as above.

Limit Breaker Infection: (18, Fort) This fast acting plague requires a saving throw every minute and only a single successful saving throw is required to end its effects. A creature under its effects gains an additional standard and move action they can use each round. These actions can only be used on mundane actions, attacking with a manufactured or natural weapon, using an extraordinary ability, etc and they can't be used on Spells, Spell Like or Supernatural abilities. Every round a subject is under this's Plague's effects they suffer 3d8 points of profane damage and a point of constitution burn that can't be blocked or reduced in anyway (If some epic level effect blocks it the plague simply fails to function).

Toxin Removal: (Su) As a standard action 3 times per day a Plague Witch of second level can remove a non magical disease or poison from a subject by touching them and absorbing the disease or poison into her form. The Plague Witch can use the absorbed toxin or disease to increase the dc of her next plague ability used within the next minute by 2. This ability only works on non magical poisons and diseases.

Corrosive Plagues: (Ex) Now the Plague Witch's lethal plagues deal 1d4 points of profane damage per 2 incanter levels each round. If the creature passes on their save for that round the damage is halved. The Plague Witch is healed the same amount of damage this ability deals as the plague as she siphons the life lost to the disease. If she is at maximum HP she instead gains 5 Soul Power if the creature fails their saving throw.

Burst Infection: (Su) At third level the Plague Witch can spread her diseases over a small area infecting multiple people at once. Now when using the plague ability the Plague Witch targets a 5ft square within range and all creatures within 5ft of that square are infected with one plague that the Plague Witch chooses. The plague must be the same for all the subjects in the area. The radius increases to 10 ft at 11th level and 15ft at 17th level. Using burst infection only counts as a single active plague, though the plague counts as active until all creatures infected by burst infection have ended their plague.

Terrifying Doctor: At 4th level the Plague Witch gains great skill in both frightening opponents and curing toxins. She gains a +2 competence bonus in both intimidate and heal checks. This bonus increases to +6 at 8th level and +10 at 16th level.

Carrier: (Ex) Diseases really don't harm the Plague Witch. Once per day when targeted with a disease the Plague Witch may absorb it and later to inflict the disease with a touch. This requires a melee touch attack and has the same dc as the disease originally had. This removes the disease from herself. The Plague Witch may only have one disease stored at a time. At 11th this increases to 2 and at 17th it increases to 3 diseases at a time. Only one disease can be released with a single touch at a time though. Releasing the disease is a free action. This ability allows a Plague Witch to carry a disease even if normally that would be impossible such as with undead Plague Witches.When the Plague Witch first contracts the disease she can choose to spread the disease as it normally is spread, if she chooses to do so with a contact disease she can not inflict it twice with a touch.

Bonus Feat At 6th, 12th and 18th level the Plague Witch can select one bonus feat from the following list, Imperious Command, Skill Focus (Intimidate), Skill Focus (Heal), Extra Incantation, Empower Incantation, Maximize Incantation, Fell Curse Incantation, Improved Soul Storage.

Fear Aura: (Su) At 7th level the Plague Witch can now spread terror into those near her. She gains an aura which she can use in two different ways. First, as a swift action she can radiate terror to all creatures within 10ft of the Plague Witch who must make a will save or be shaken for 1d4 rounds. The DC is 10+1/2 class level + charisma modifier. If a creature succeeds on the saving throw against this effect it is immune to this Plague Witch's fear aura for another 24 hours.

Secondly she can use her fear aura to intimidate an enemy into missing their strike. As an immediate action when an opponent makes a melee attack against her she may replace her AC with the results of an intimidate check for that one attack. This ability fails to function against an enemy immune to fear. If she uses her fear aura in this way she can't use any version of her fear aura for 3 rounds.

Infecting the Immortal: (Su) At 8th level the Plague Witch can now ignore immunities from diseases. Plagues and other diseases caused by the Plague Witch now work on targets immune to diseases. These subjects still need to be living and have a discernable biology, and they get a +4 on their saving throw to resist her diseases.

Improved Toxin Removal: (Su) The Plague Witch gains further skill in removing toxins from subjects. Now toxin removal can be used a number of times equal to 3+the Plague Witches wisdom modifier times per day. In addition the Plague Witch can remove magical diseases or poisons from the subject.

True Terror: (Ex) At tenth level the Plague Witch becomes an expert at terrifying opponents and can do so without needing to influence their minds. When using Terror Incantations they can bypass immunity to fear on creatures with HD less than her incanter level +1. They still can't be mindless however.

Bacterial Immortality: (Ex) At 11th level the Plague Witch's internal ecosystem of diseases are now exceptional at maintaining her body and keeping her alive granting her several benefits. She becomes immune to magical diseases, no longer ages and no longer accrues aging penalties (She still accrues aging bonuses to her mental ability scores) and in fact reverses her age to her prime age and will not die of old age. She can now reach negative hit points equal to her maximum hit points before dying as the bacteria in her body stitch together and maintain her form. She still falls unconscious when she is below -10 hit points even if she has die hard or a similar ability. She also gains fast healing 1. Finally, coup de Graces with slashing or piercing weapons have a 50% chance of failing to kill her if she fails the saving throw.

Frightened Immune System: (Su) At 13th level the Plague Witch's fear aura terrifies the opponents very immune system causing it to become vulnerable and open to infection. Whenever the Plague Witch applies the shaken condition to an enemy with her fear aura class feature she may also subject that target to any lethal plague she knows. This plague takes effect immediately but only lasts for however long the shaken condition from the fear aura lasts. If the subject succeeds on the required saving throws the effect still ends early. These plagues do not count against her maximum number of plagues she can have active.

Helpful Toxins: (Ex) At 14th level the toxins in the Plague Witch can help strengthen her fortitude. She can now add her wisdom modifier to fortitude saves.

Perfect Immune System: (Ex) At 15th level the Plague Witch becomes immune to all diseases and poisons, even magical ones. If she injects a creature with her own blood (A procedure taking a DC 20 Heal check and 10 minutes to perform) that creature is healed of any diseases similar to the spell Remove Disease. A Plague Witch's blood only remains potent for healing diseases for an hour outside of her body.

Dual Toxins: (Su) At 19th level the Plague Witch has almost perfected the process of infecting others. Now whenever she uses her plague ability she may select two plague forms. Both plague forms apply and each one can give the Plague Witch plague tokens. She can now gain twice as many plague tokens in a round and whenever she regains an incantation she can regain two in a given round.

Master of Fear and Plague: (Ex) The Plague Witch becomes an embodiment of terror and disease. She becomes immune to fear. Any terror incantation no longer has the mind affecting tag on it and creatures immune to mind affecting effects no longer get a bonus on intimidate checks. In addition, subjects immune to diseases no longer gain any bonus on saving throws against your plague ability and your plague ability's dc increases by 5. In addition, you may have twice as many plagues active at one time.

Black Blood Vanguard

"My blood is black...!
Image From: http://www.pixel77.com/wp-content/up...t_by_zeo_x.jpg

Info: Black Blood Vanguards are warriors that use a substance called black blood as their main fighting tool. This black blood courses through their veins and can be used in a variety of ways. Hardening to prevent damage, summoning waves of black blood to corrode opponents' minds and many other options. Black Blood Vanguards often work in the service of a Vector Witch whom sometimes can create Black Blood Vanguards by infusing subjects with copious amounts of various black blood compounds.

Characteristics: This class focuses control and debuffing opponents. The class itself is very mobile once it gets some black tentacles scattered around the battlefield which allow it to be pulled from one area of the battle to another almost instantly. Their black blood can make will saves incredibly difficult for enemies as the battle progresses.

Races: There isn't a race more prone to becoming a Black Blood Vanguard. Most of the time Vector Witches grab random test subjects to experiment with and those subjects can sometimes become Black Blood Vanguard. Other times individuals try to preform the experiments on themselves but no particular race is more prone to do this.

Alignment: Vanguards tend to have different goals and reasons for following those goals. Most Vanguards are chaotic though as the black blood that flows through their veins makes it difficult to maintain complete devotion to law.

Other Classes: Vanguard's love to travel with enchanters as they can control the weakened minds of those corrupted by black blood. Vanguards tend to have an issue with some lawful classes such as paladin and cleric due to their chaotic nature and the collateral damage they can sometimes cause.

Role: The main role an Vanguard plays is that of a frontline melee combatant with high mobility and survivability. He can use black tentacles and his black blood wave abilities to control the battlefield and maneuver himself and minions around. He can slowly degrade opponents minds making them more vulnerable to control and other effects.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Vanguard.

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: Vanguard are proficient with all simple weapons and martial weapons and with all types of armor and shields.

Incantations The Vanguard is an incanter with access to four schools of incantations, Corruption, Pain, Terror and Vampiric. He begins the game with 1 incantation and gains incantations as he levels as shown on the table above. (See More Details on Incanters above and a list of incantations below)

He refreshes a number of his incantations whenever he drives a creature with more than 2 intelligence insane (See Black Blood below). He refreshes a number of incantations equal to the number of black blood tokens needed to drive that creature insane.

The Vanguard can have a maximum of 60 soul power at a time. The Vanguard uses charisma to determine the DC of his incantations.

Black Blood: (Ex) The Vanguard has black blood flowing threw his veins. Black blood is an alchemical substance fused with the essence of madness which grants the Vanguard durability but at the expense of some sanity. The Vanguard gains damage reduction x/- where x is equal to 2+1/4 of his class level. The Vanguard also can generate incredible amounts of black blood and even when using abilities that generate large amounts of black blood he can still function (See Blood Tentacles, Blood Wave and similar abilities below). This defensive power also allows the Vanguard to ignore any extra damage caused by bleeding injuries as the black blood stops all bleeding wounds and the Vanguard can simply restore any lost blood.

This defensive power comes at a cost though and the Vanguard takes a -2 penalty on all wisdom based checks and skills and a -2 penalty on any saving throw against fear effects as the black blood messes with their mental stability.

The Vanguard can use black blood offensively as well, coating his weapon in it, conjuring waves of black blood or other abilities described below. Subjects being hit by these abilities occur madness tokens if they fail a will saving throw (DC: 10 + 1/2 Incanter Level + Charisma Modifier). Madness tokens grant a -2 penalty to will saves per madness token the subject has. If the subject gains a number of madness tokens equal to his HD/2 + 4 (So 4 tokens at level 1, 7 tokens at level 6, etc) he goes insane under the influence of the black blood. The subject is irrevocably insane but dies after 10 minutes of being insane. The insane subject gains damage reduction 10/- as the black blood grants some defensive properties to the subject. Insane creatures never attack other insane creatures or the Black Blood Vanguard, if they roll that they should they attack the nearest valid target instead. Madness tokens from multiple Vanguards don't stack, if one Vanguard gives a subject 4 madness tokens and Vanguard gives the same target 3, then that target is treated as if having 4 madness tokens. If the Vanguard who gave the target 3 gives another 2 madness tokens then the target is treated as if having five madness tokens. Madness tokens can only be restored by a heal spell, greater restoration or more powerful restorative magic. These spells remove all madness tokens on a subject. Without magic a subject needs to make a will save at the start of each day at the same DC as the madness token. A success means that they remove one madness token from themselves. Subjects with immunity to Mind Affecting abilities do not gain Madness Tokens. Black Blood Vanguards can not gain Madness Tokens.

Black Ichor: (Su) By spending 10 Soul Power the Vanguard can coat all of his weapons with black blood as a free action. Until the beginning of next turn any weapon attacks made by the Vanguard corrupt the subject and they must make a will save or gain a single madness token (Described in the Black Blood class feature above). A single creature can only gain a number of Madness Tokens from this ability equal to 2 plus one for every 5 class levels.

Bloody Slicer: (Su) As a standard action ranged attack a Vanguard can cut his own wrists with a blade or simply have his black blood burst out towards a target within 60ft. The Vanguard makes an attack roll with his attack bonus being his BAB + Charisma Modifier. If he hits the subject must make a will save or gain two madness tokens and the attack deals 2d6+charisma modifier slashing damage. At 7th level this ability forces the subject to make a second will save or gain another madness token, at 15th level the target must make a fourth, at 20th the target must make a fifth.

Madness Strike: (Su) Just engaging a Vanguard in combat can spread insanity to creatures. Once per round when you strike a creature with a melee attack and deal damage they automatically gain a single madness token.

Bloody Bulwark: (Su) Beginning at second level a Vanguard can further enhance his black blood for defense. As a swift action the Vanguard can gain damage reduction 5/- for the rest of the encounter or ten minutes whichever is longer. They also gain a bonus against mind affecting effects equal to half the damage reduction as their black blood protects their mental state from outside interference. This damage reduction is increased by 3 for every 6th incanter level (So DR 8/- at 8th, DR 11/- at 14th and DR 14/- at 20th). This ability can be used once per day at 2nd level and an additional time per day at 6th, 10th, and 14th level. At 18th level the ability becomes permanent and the Vanguard is treated as if always having Bloody Bulwark active.

Bonus Fighter Feats: At the levels indicated a Vanguard gains a bonus fighter feat.

Bloody Tentacles: (Su) A third level Vanguard can sacrifice his life force and some madness lingering in others to create a tentacle made of black blood. To do so the Vanguard spends a move action to sacrifice any number of hit points up to his current hit point total as well as removing a single madness token from a single creature within 100ft. Then he can summon a surge of black blood that comes gushing from his mouth, nose and even behind his eyes. This process doesn't hurt the Vanguard but it does create a bloody tentacle in an adjacent square with a number of current hit points and maximum hit points equal to double the number of hit points sacrificed by the Vanguard. Statistics for the tentacles are below. The tentacles last for one minute per incanter level. The tentacles are mindless but act as the Vanguard wishes and act on his turn. A vanguard can have a number of tentacles active equal to his charisma modifier and can not spend more hit points on active tentacles than double his maximum hit points.

Black Bond: (Su) The tentacle has a measure of strength given to it by the incanter who created it. It's strength score is equal to the incanter's charisma score +2 for each size category it is above medium. It's BAB is equal to the incanter's incanter level. And it gains fast healing and natural armor equal to the Incanter's charisma modifier +1 for every size it is above medium. Its size varies on how much hit points the incanter sacrificed to create it. Their tentacle attack deals damage equal to double their strength modifier.

Bloody Slicer: As the ability above of the same name except the Tentacle uses it's slam attack damage plus it's strength modifier and always inflicts a single madness token if they fail a will saving throw.

Improved Grab: Whenever a Bloody Tentacle hits a target of equal to or smaller size than itself with its tentacle attack he can make a grapple attempt as a free action that does not provoke attack of opportunities. If a creature ends their turn grappled by a tentacle they have to make a will save or gain a single madness token.

Reposition: The Bloody Tentacle can reach out as a full round action and grab a willing creature one size smaller than it within its reach. It can then move that creature anywhere within it's threatened area. It can also grab an unwilling creature if it wins a grapple check against the creature (This does not provoke AOOs). If the creature is not a Black Blood Vanguard then it must make a will save or gain a madness token from being grappled or moved by the Tentacle. This movement does provoke AOO's and any AOO has a 50% chance of hitting the tentacle instead of the creature being moved. Once every minute the Tentacle can reposition itself, moving itself anywhere within it's threatened reach.

Sacrifice: (Sp) The Bloody Tentacle sacrifice's its own life force and grants a quarter of its current hit points to the Vanguard in exchange for destroying itself. The Tentacle can use this ability as an immediate action as long as the Black Blood Vanguard is within 100ft of the tentacle. This ability heals the Vanguard via the tentacle dissolving into black blood and flowing rapidly into the Vanguard so if the Vanguard can't be reached the Tentacle can't heal him.

Blood Wave: (Su) As a standard action a fourth level Vanguard can cause a torrent of black blood gushing out from his body creating a large wave of madness which corrupts and blasts those in its path. The wave is a line 15ft wide, 15ft high and 50ft long, the attack deals 2d6+charisma modifier bludgeoning damage to all those in the path, the gushing pool of blood is too sudden and erratic to be dodged normally and automatically hits all on the path (Treat as line attack with no saving throw). Damage reduction applies against this damage. In addition it bull rushes all those in the path, huge sized creatures and smaller must make a bull rush check versus a dc of (15+the Vanguard's Charisma Modifier) or be knocked back as normal for a bull rush. If they fail by 10 or more than they are knocked prone. Any creature damaged by this ability must make a will save or gain a madness token.

Talents: At 5th level and every 3rd level after (8th, 11th, etc) the Vanguard can select a talent to specialize his abilities. At each of the above levels he can only chose talents available at that level, he may not chose any talents from previous levels and he can select any of the three available talents at the given level. The three different type of talents are Tentacle Talents which modify the Black Tentacle ability, Black Blood Talents, which modify offensive and defensive black blood abilities, and Incantation Talents, which modify incantations.

Tentacle Talent: Draining Tentacles: Whenever a Bloody Tentacle hits an opponent with a tentacle or bloody slicer attack or inflicts a madness token the Vanguard heals 5 hit points
Black Blood Talent: Empowering Waves: The Vanguard's Blood Wave, Bloody Tidal Wave and Bloody Tsunami grant soul power as if they were incantations.
Incantation Talent: Maddening Terror: Whenever a subject fails a saving throw against a terror incantation he gains a single madness token. Even if the incantation requires multiple saving throws they can only gain a single madness token. At 12th level they gain 2 madness tokens instead.

Tentacle Talent: Rapid Reach: Bloody Tentacle's reposition ability only takes a standard action to use. If the tentacle readies an action to move a creature in response to an attack the attack has a 50% chance to hit. In addition, tumbling no longer prevents Tentacles from taking attacks of opportunity. They also gain a +4 bonus to attack rolls for attack of opportunities.
Black Blood Talent: Nidhogg: The Vanguard grows black draconic wings made of blood which grants a fly speed equal to twice his base land speed with good maneuverability. With a standard action you may grant this flight speed to another creature granting them a fly speed equal to double their base land speed with good maneuverability. This flight speed lasts for 24 hours. The Vanguard loses his own flight speed when he has granted it to another creature but can regain it earlier if the creature is within 30ft with a standard action. Only one creature may be granted this fly speed at a time.
Incantation Talent: Gate of Terror: Whenever a subject fails a saving throw against a Terror Incantation the Vanguard can teleport adjacent to the subject as a move action. If the creature fails a saving throw on their turn the Vanguard can teleport to the subject on their next turn. If they teleport next to a creature they can make an immediate melee attack against them.

Tentacle Talent: Durable Tentacles: All Tentacles created by this Vanguard have double their normal fast healing and damage reduction.

Incantation Talent: Vampiric Regeneration: After using a Vampiric Incantation the Vanguard recovers 3 hit points per incanter level and gains fast healing equal to his charisma modifier for a number of rounds equal to the incantation level. This fast healing stacks with other forms of fast healing.

17th Level

Spoiler

Show

Tentacle Talent: Powerful Tentacles: All Bloody Tentacles gain +8 to strength and a further +5 bonus to attack rolls and are always one size category bigger than normal.
Black Blood Talent: Eroding Madness: Whenever a subject is hit with Blood Wave, Blood Tidal Wave or Blood Tsunami the Vanguard can attempt to dispel any spell or magic item that protects against mind affecting abilities such as mindblank or a third eye of concealing. The Incanter uses his incanter level in place of caster level for the check and he also gains a +4 bonus on the dispel check. If a magic item is dispelled it is simply suppressed for 1d4 rounds.
Incantation Talent: Maddening Magic: Whenever a creature fails a saving throw against an incatation he gains a Madness Token with no saving throw to resist. Each incantation can only inflict a maximum of one Madness Token on each creature. Thus if a creature failed two will saves against Waning Willpower he would only take one Madness Token. However, if the subject passed the first and second save but failed the third he would still gain a madness token.

20th Level

Spoiler

Show

Tentacle Talent: Double Tentacle: Whenever the Vanguard summons a Bloody Tentacle another Bloody Tentacle with the same statistics is summoned Adjacent to the original.
Black Blood Talent: Bloody Blades: Black Ichor now causes all creatures who fail the save to gain 2 madness tokens instead of one. Creatures no longer have a limit on the number of madness tokens they can gain from Black Ichor.
Incantation Talent: Dual Incantation: Once per encounter the Vanguard can activate two incantations with the same activation time with the same action. These incantations are not treated as if being expended.

Blood Tidal Wave: (Su) At 7th level the Vanguard can conjure a wider and more devastating blast of black blood as a standard action. This ability functions the same as Blood Wave except the Vanguard can conjure a line of black blood 20ft wide, 20ft high and 100ft long or as a 60ft cone, the wave deals 3d6+charisma modifier damage, the bull rush check DC is (20 + Charisma modifier) and creatures need to make a will save or gain two madness tokens.

In addition, the Vanguard only needs to use a move action to activate his Blood Wave class feature.

Black Thorn Wall: (Su) At 8th level the Vanguard's blood tentacles gain the ability to create walls of black thorns made of black blood. In order to activate this ability two tentacles must spend full round actions and must sacrifice hit points equal to the distance between the two tentacles divided by 5 (Round up). Then a mass of thorns formed of black blood shoot out between the two tentacles and form a wall. Treat this wall as if it was created by a wall of thorns spell with a width of one foot and a height of 5ft if the tentacles are medium size, 10ft if the tentacles are large size and 15ft if the tentacles are huge or bigger. Also in order to move through this wall the creatures' movement is based on how much their strength check exceeds 10 instead of 20. Any creature damaged by these thorns gains one madness token with no saving throw to resist. Any creature in the path of the wall as it is being created gets a reflex save (DC: 10+1/2 incanter level+charisma modifier) to move to one side of the wall or the other.

Maddening Siphon: (Su) At ninth level the Vanguard can channel madness into his own body refreshing incantations. A number of times per day equal to his charisma modifier the Vanguard can remove two madness tokens on a creature within 60ft as a swift action and can then refresh three of his expended incantations.

Specialized Tentacles: Whenever the Vanguard creates a black tentacle he can choose one of the following specializations for the Tentacle. In addition, all tentacles now have current and maximum hit points equal to four times the hit points sacrificed by the Vanguard.

Corrupter Tentacle: If the tentacle grapples a subject for at least one round than each additional round the subject is grappled he gains an additional madness token if he fails a will save (DC 10 + 1/2 incanter level + charisma modifier). In addition, if the tentacle critically hits a subject they automatically gain a madness token.

Constrictor Tentacle: Every time the tentacle successfully starts a grapple on an opponent and at the start of the tentacles turn the grappled opponent takes 2d6+ the vanguard's charisma modifier damage. In addition the tentacle gains a +6 bonus on grapple checks.

Bulwark Tentacle: Whenever this tentacle takes damage from any source the source takes half the damage it inflicted to the tentacle. A will save halves this damage. The damage inflicted by this ability is empathic in nature and ignores immunities, regeneration, and similar abilities.

Shield Tentacles: A shield tentacle can once per round as an immediate action redirect an attack made against a creature who is adjacent to it to the tentacle itself. Treat the tentacle as the new target for all intensive purposes.

Incantation through Blood: (Su) At 11th level the Vanguard spend 10 soul power as a swift action to imbue his blood with an incantation infecting creatures he hits. If his weapons are affected by his Blood Ichor class feature than on the next successful melee attack he makes this round he may as a free action cast one incantation that has a target of a single creature on that target. It is then expended as normal but does not generate soul power. If this incantation forces a will save than if the creature fails their saving throw they gain a madness token. A creature can only gain a single madness token from this ability regardless of how many saving throws they fail.

Puppet: (Su) At 12th level the Vanguard can take control of those who have succumb to madness. At will as a standard action the Vanguard can dominate (As dominate monster) a creature who has gone insane from madness tokens. The creature gets no saving throw to resist this effect. The domination puts the subject directly under the control of the Vanguard and he can act normally. The domination also lets the subject endure the corrosive nature of the black blood and the subject dies after a day instead of after 10 minutes. The Vanguard can only have a number of subjects dominated by this ability equal to a third of his charisma modifier (Round up).

Mad Whispers: (Su) Insane whispers flood the minds of creatures who try to influence the Vanguard's mind. Any creature who uses a mind affecting ability on the Vanguard instantly gains two madness tokens (No saving throw to resist) and takes 1d4 wisdom damage. Vanguards are immune other Vanguard's use of this ability. Mind Affecting abilities have a 50% failure chance when used on the Black Blood Vanguard

Blood Tsunami: (Su) A 13th level Vanguard can flood the area around him with a torrent of black blood. As a full round action the vanguard creates a torrent of black blood hitting all creatures within 30ft of him or a 120ft cone with a wave of gushing madness. This ability functions as blood wave except it hits all within the area with 8d6 + double the Vanguard's charisma modifier damage. In addition the ability causes subject to make a will save or gain four madness tokens.

In addition, the Vanguard's Blood Wave ability only requires a swift action and the Vanguards Blood Tidal Wave ability only requires a move action.

Mad Blood: At 15th level the Vanguard can delve far deeper into the madness of the Black Blood than he could before. A number of times per day as indicated on the table above the Vanguard can become a true avatar of madness. As a free action the Vanguard can enhance his black blood into mad blood which grants him incredibly powerful abilities for one minute. While his blood is enhanced he gains the following abilities.

All of his melee attacks are treated as if enhanced by his Black Ichor class ability.
He gains DR 10/- Which stacks with all other forms of DR he has.
He gains +2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution and +2 Charisma.
He gains Fast Healing 15
His Black Tentacle ability can be activated as a swift action and doesn't need to consume a madness token.
Whenever a subject fails a saving throw against gaining a madness token he must make another will save or gain another madness token. This ability can not trigger itself.
Blood Wave, Blood Tidal Wave, Blood Tsunami all have their area of effects doubled.

After the duration of this ability runs out the Vanguard becomes insane for one minute. This insanity can not be removed or prevented until the one minute duration has expired.

Madness Symphony: (Su) Once every six rounds while in Mad Blood form the Vanguard can issue a horrible scream that renders creatures insane. As a full round action the Vanguard causes all creatures within 100ft to make a will save or be confused for one round and gain a madness token. If they fail the save they must make another save or have the confusion last another round and gain another madness token. If they fail that save they must make another, etc. This effect continues until the subject makes a will save. This is a Sonic Mind Affecting Ability and the DC is 10 + 1/2 Class Level + Charisma Modifier.

Mad Blood Spear: (Su) When in Mad Blood Form the Vanguard's Bloody Slicer ability has its range extended to medium range (100ft + 10ft/incanter level). In addition, while in Mad Blood Form the Vanguard can launch one Bloody Slicer as a free action once per round at a target within range. This free Bloody Slicer only inflicts one madness token if the subject fails the saving throw.

Black Forest: (Su) A 19th level Vanguard can surround himself with a wall of black spiked vines create from the Vanguard's blood. This wall of vines travels with him in a 15ft radius and can be summoned or dismissed as a swift action. All creatures in the area must make a tumble check (DC 30) at the beginning of their turn or when they enter the area or take 10 points of piercing damage and if damaged they must make a will save or gain a madness token. This area is treated as difficult terrain and two squares of movement are required to move through it.

This wall of thorns also makes it more difficult to attack the Vangaurd and grants him a +5 deflection bonus to ac (+10 against ranged attacks and ranged touch spells).

Torrent of Madness: (Su) Once per week the Vanguard can summon a truly terrible amount of black blood from his body. This ability functions as Bloody Tsunami except as follows. The radius and damage of the ability is doubled and the DC increases by 4. In addition the wave grows when it inflicts madness upon creatures. For each creature with an intelligence score higher than 3 that fails the saving throw against this ability radius increases by 10ft, this can cause it to keep growing until it stops having enough fuel or until it reaches a maximum radius of 5 miles. This ability inflicts 10 madness tokens on all who fail their saving throw. If a creature dies from this ability it is instead animated with the madness of the black blood. After the wave has subsided those creatures slain by this ability are restored to full hit points and rendered insane as if by madness tokens. These subjects however, do not die after 10 minutes and only die after a week. This ability also eats away at magical protection against mind affecting abilities. If a creature is hit with this ability and has a spell such as mind blank which protects against mind affecting abilities the spell is dispelled, he he has an item that grants such immunity or protection the item is suppressed for 1d4 rounds. This dispelling effect occurs before the damage and save against the madness tokens.

I always hated how the Horned Harbinger was so poorly written in Faiths and Pantheons. A class that is made for spellcasters that DOESN'T progress spell casting? I hopefully made it more useful with this update. Please tell me if I went overboard with some of the class features. I ignored the fluff from the class from Faith's and Pantheons because too many DM's would look at it as campaign specific and give them another reason to refuse it. (And DM's rarely approve homebrew anyway). This new class works really well with the Dread Necromancer (HoH), the Lord of the Uttercold and really any charisma based necromancer.

This spell has a variety of purposes and they are as follows. Only one of the following effects can be chosen for each casting of the spell

Accelerate Reanimation: The caster hurries the reanimation of an undead creature. For a creature such as a vampire or a wight that needs a certain amount of time to pass before animating if the caster touches the corpse that is animating the undead creature instantly forms and no longer needs to normal wait time to animate. If cast on a creature that is rejuvenating but takes time to rejuvenate fully (Such as a lich, or a vampire resting in its coffin) the spell reduces the number of days needed to recuperate by 1 day per two caster levels to a minimum of one hour.

Casting Time: Standard
Range: Touch
Target: One medium or smaller sized corpse touched
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

This spell turns the bones or bodies of dead creatures into undead skeletons or zombies that follow your spoken commands.
The undead can follow you, or they can remain in an area and attack any creature (or just a specific kind of creature) entering the place. They remain animated until they are destroyed. (A destroyed skeleton or zombie can’t be animated again.)
Regardless of the type of undead you create with this spell, you can’t create more HD of undead than half your caster level (Max 4 HD, Min 1 HD) with a single casting of animate dead. (The desecrate spell doubles this limit)
The undead you create remain under your control indefinitely. No matter how many times you use this spell, however, you can control only 1 HD worth of undead creatures per caster level (Max 5HD). If you exceed this number, all the newly created creatures fall under your control, and any excess undead from previous castings become uncontrolled. (You choose which creatures are released.) If you are a cleric, any undead you might command by virtue of your power to command or rebuke undead do not count toward the limit.
Skeletons
A skeleton can be created only from a mostly intact corpse or skeleton. The corpse must have bones. If a skeleton is made from a corpse, the flesh falls off the bones.
Zombies
A zombie can be created only from a mostly intact corpse. The corpse must be that of a creature with a true anatomy.

Duration: 1 Round
Saving Throw: Will Negates (Harmless) (See Text)

When this incantation is activated all allied undead coordinate and prevent enemies from taking actions. Any enemy that is threatened by two or more undead provokes an attack of opportunity when they take their first action on their turn, this occurs even if the undead don't have any remaining attacks of opportunity. If both of the undead can both succeed on a melee touch attack the target must make a will save or lose the rest of their turn. You can choose which two undead make the attack. The DC increases by 1 for each additional medium sized or larger undead that is threatening the target. This attack is cloaked in negative energy and disrupts their movements and hampers their attacks from being effective. Each two undead can only select one target to disrupt, regardless of how many targets they threaten.

The incanter can animate the creature as an Entropic Reaper (Libris Mortis), a Charnel Hound (Monster Manual III), a Vitreous Drinker (Monster Manual IV), or a Doom Knight Commander (See Below). The extra mass required for animation comes from this incantation's magic such as creating a Charnel Hound from a humanoid corpse, after the undead is either destroyed or this incantation ends the corpse resumes its original form. A corpse animated by this incantation can not be animated by it or other undeath incantations again, but it can be reanimated by other necromancy spells. Undead start with all equipment on their monster entry which is formed from the bones of the corpse and the magic of the incantation. These items are destroyed when the incantation ends. This undead does not count towards the HD cap of animate dead, rebuke undead or similar abilities. An incanter can only have 3 undead animated by this incantation at a given time.

On Create Spawn Abilities

Spoiler

Show

Variant Rule: Any creature with the ability to create spawn can have a maximum number of creatures under his control equal to (the monsters HD) / 3 (Round up). Any creature that would normally be raised is no longer turned into a spawn. These spawns are unable to create spawn unless the original dies. Once the original dies the former spawn gain the ability to propagate within 24 hours.

Spoiler: On Animation

Show

Many of the following undead can be animated via create undead or similar spells with the added requirement of special requirements or sacrifices. These sacrifices can't be ignored via casting the associated necromantic spell as a spell like or supernatural ability and are in fact a requirement for the undead to be animated successfully.

In addition, the baseline assumption for most of these undead is that a medium sized humanoid corpse is used to animate them (Or a large quadruped creature for the abomination). If the size of the corpse used to animate a creature is different than the size of the undead given in the stat blocks below than the animated undead becomes the same size as the corpse used and the undead adjusts their physical stats as noted here. For each size category higher than normal the undead gains +4 strength and -2 dexterity. For every size category smaller they lose 2 strength and gain 4 dexterity. These replace the standard ability score adjustments for changing size. Thus an abomination animated with a dire bear's corpse would be a huge undead with +4 strength and -2 dexterity compared to a standard abomination.

Note for DM's

Spoiler

Show

Dark Revenant's vampiric drain ability can give them effectively any power you want and because of this is a very dangerous ability. I recommend not allowing your players to ever get their hands on a controlled one and to exercise restraint if you send this monster against them. Sure you could give one Dark Revenant the adamantine horror's disjunction at will, an efreeti's Wish SLA, manipulate form or any number of other broken abilities but it is in rather poor form. You may need to adjust the CR of this monster based on the abilities selected.

Gheists are undead created from the corpses of humanoids that have a thirst for flesh. Similar in appearance and function to ghouls Gheists are recognizable with a long 10ft rope around their neck which they can animate at will and a large singular eye in their head. Gheists can be created from a humanoid corpse with an animate dead spell cast by a caster of 7th level who also provides the 10ft of rope that the gheist uses to strangle and grab it's victims. If the creature used to animate a gheist was slain by being hung to death than that particular ghesit gains a +4 bonus to strength and dexterity.

Sakel Revenants

Spoiler

Show

Sakel Revenants are the spirits of dead divine casters imbued with numerous spirits of other undead to grant the undead spirit raised tremendous power and stability. Sakel Revenants are exceptionally powerful undead and retain a significant amount of spellcasting power and various other useful abilities to a necromancer capable of animating one. In addition, somewhat useful for necromancers who don't want to be despised by the undead they create the process of merging the dead divine caster and the various other incorporeal undead mostly wipes clean the personality traits, opinions and most if not all of the memories of the original caster. As a result Sakel Revenants are somewhat neutral in personality compared to most forms of incorporeal undead, they often take the alignment of the necromancers animating them and are quite often fairly loyal making them excellent additions to a necromancer's forces.

Sakel Revenants are created by a 24th caster level caster animating the corpse of a divine caster who could cast 7th level spells and by sacrificing a number of incorporeal undead whose total HD equals or is greater than 60. A Sakel Revenant can only be animated by a create greater undead spell cast in an area where the temperature is below freezing while providing an additional 30k gp worth of sapphires for the spell.

Leech Divinity (Ex): The Sakel Revenant doesn't cast divine spells as normal for a cleric, instead she leeches excess divine energy around her similar to a cleric who follows a cause instead of a particular deity or an ur-priest if the Sakel Revenant wishes to siphon directly from gods. This allows the Sakel Revenant cast spells equal to a 15th level cleric except that it uses her charisma to determine saving throw dc's and bonus spells per day. She has access to the Cold, Deathbound and Trickery Domains as well as being able to rebuke undead equal to a 15th level cleric. A Sakel Revenant can not however, spontaneously cast inflict spells.

Vulnerable to the Divine: (Ex) Due to its readiness to absorb nearby divine energy a Revenant has a weakness to divine magic. It takes a -6 on all saving throws against divine spells and also is only treated as a 13th hd undead for the purposes of rebuke and turn undead. As well divine spells gain a +6 sacred bonus on overcoming its spell resistance

Profane Toughness: (Ex) The Revenant gains a bonus to hit points equal to its charisma modifier times its HD. In addition, it gains a profane bonus on saving throws equal to its charisma modifier.

Mark (Su): Once per day a Revenant can mark a willing or helpless subject as a melee touch attack made as a standard action. This grants the subject +2 profane bonus to charisma and a +2 profane bonus on saving throws. This effect lasts for 24 hours and as long as the effect is in place the Revenant's name is tattooed somewhere on the subject's body. The Revenant usually doesn't place this tattoo in an easily visible location. As long as the mark is active the Revenant can monitor the subject as if the subject is affected by a status effect. The Revenant can telepathically communicate with the subject regardless of distance (even if the subject is on a different plane) and can take a standard action to observe the area around the subject.

Possession (Su): Once per round, a Revenant can merge its body with a creature on the Material Plane. This ability is similar to a magic jar spell (caster level 10th or the Revenant's Hit Dice, whichever is higher), except that it does not require a receptacle. To use this ability, the Revenant must try move into the target’s space; moving into the target’s space to use the malevolence ability does not provoke attacks of opportunity. The target can resist the attack with a successful Will save (DC 29). A creature that successfully saves is immune to that same Revenant's malevolence for 24 hours, and the Revenant cannot enter the target’s space. If the save fails, the Revenant vanishes into the target’s body taking complete control as if he had used magic jar.

Telekinesis (Su): A Revenant can use telekinesis as a free action (CL 16) at will once per round. Once he uses this ability he must wait 1d4 rounds before using it again.

Frightful Shield (Su): A Revenant can create an incorporeal shield only they can used filled with necromantic energy. This shield grants the Revenant a +6 shield bonus to armor class and can emit a frightful moan as a standard action. All living enemies within a 90-foot spread must succeed on a Will save or become panicked for 2d4 rounds. This is a sonic necromantic mind-affecting fear effect. A creature that successfully saves against the shield's moan cannot be affected by the same Revenant's moan for 24 hours regardless if the Revenant summons a new shield or not. The Save DC is 29 and is Charisma based. A Revenant can unsummon or summon this shield as a free action.

Uttercold Mace (Su): A Revenant can create a +3 ghost touch frost warhammer that only they can use to make melee touch attacks with. Any creature struck by this mace takes a -4 penalty on saving throws for one minute and take additional damage equal to the Revenant's charisma modifier. When wielding this mace the Revenant can cause any cold damage they deal to deal half of its damage as negative energy damage, ignore any cold resistance and deal half damage to creatures with cold immunity and deal one negative level the first time the effect deals damage to a creature. The Revenant can summon or unsummon this mace as a free action.

Skills: A Revenant has a +8 racial bonus on Bluff, Diplomacy, Sense Motive and Hide checks.

Swiftly moving around incorporeally passing through doors and unlocking chests and disarming traps they are fierce opponents. Spectral Swindler don't have much will power of their own and often rely on their masters for orders. Spectral Swindlers don't particularly look incorporeal and it requires a dc 20 spot check to notice that they are. Often times when their commanding necromancer dies Spectral Swindlers go through towns and attempt to steal items from the town folk to try to fulfill their life purpose. Others go into dungeons trying to disarm all traps located inside the dungeon. Spectral Swindlers are created by a 14th level caster animating a body with create undead that in life could sneak attack for 4d6 damage or had at least 10 ranks in Sleight of Hand, Open Lock, Move Silently and Hide.

Agile Telekinesis: (Su) The Spectral Swindler can use telekinesis as the spell at will as a standard action at caster level 8 using dexterity as the casting ability score. However, maintaining concentration only takes a move action for the Spectral Swindler and also the Spectral Swindler can use the following skills at range with his telekinesis: Sleight of Hand, Disable Device, Open Lock, Use Rope.

After using the Violent Thrust option they must wait 1d4+1 rounds before using their telekinesis again.

Spectral Theft: (Su) The Spectral Swindler has an extra dimensional storage space where it can store items it steals. The Spectral Swindler can hold any number of items as long as the total weight of all items is less than 50 pounds. It can store any item it is holding with its telekinesis as a free action (Including items it snatches while using sleight of hand with its Agile Telekinesis). It can then produce an item from its storage as a move action, which then usually falls to the ground until the Spectral Swindler picks it up or the Spectral Swindler can summon it into the willing hands of a creature within 20ft. If the Spectral Swindler dies the items in its stash fall to the ground in the space he was located.

Sneak Attack: As a 9th level rogue.

Expert Thief: (Ex) The Spectral Swindler is quite adept at what it does and gains a +3 insight bonus to all of the following skills: Sleight of Hand, Hide, Move Silently, Tumble, Use Rope, Open Lock, Disable Device, Search.

They also gain the Uncanny Dodge and Trapfinding class features as a rogue of 9th level.

Invisibility: (Su) As a swift action the Spectral Swindler can turn itself invisible as the spell invisibility. Using it's agile telekinesis ability does not end this invisibility however. The Spectral Swindler can use this ability at will but their invisibility ends if they take any damage and if it is broken for any reason they can't activate it until 5 minutes has passed.

Spectral Presence: (Su) The Spectral Swindler has an unnatural aura that many experts of undead don't quite understand. Any time the Spectral Swindler moves through a locked door or a locked chest it can as a free action attempt to unlock it as if using the open lock skill (It can not take 20 on this check). This ability can actually unlock doors locked by arcane lock or improved arcane lock or similar effects. These additional effects do increase the DC to unlock such an item by 10 though.

Oh thats a largely good point. I should let players access them as well (Except for the dark revenants). I was making them with the DM in mind to send against the players. I shall add some way of making the undead, I was thinking animate dead for the Ghiests, create undead for the doom knight and abominations and create undead greater for the doom knight commanders. Any suggestion on the best way for the uttercold archon? They seem to be too strong create greater undead. Maybe a separate ritual that costs a lot of extra onyx?

For the image issue, I noticed that a lot of my original images were taken down (I was working on this awhile ago) so I did a rush to find images and I didn't think of spoilering them.

Edit: Also for Morphbark I am not familiar with Tolken's universe, I was mostly inspired for the Valar from warcraft's Vrykul. Should I change the name? I wasn't particularly attached to it and I don't want people to assume they are something else.

Leech is an absolute killer against glass-canon type targets. It needs some way of defending against it. As-is it doesn't even require a ranged touch attack. Just... damages them. I suggest a fortitude save.

Also, did you mean for it to work on constructs and undead?

I was thinking about adding a fort save as well but I wasn't sure what to make the DC based off of. If I did it based on Charisma then a lot of classes would be unable to use it. Then again it already is better to have a high charisma for it since it can give extra uses of the leech feet.

Charisma goes with Turning, yes. So yeah, Charisma based would work... or maybe make it "casting stat for class that grants turning based, or charisma if that is ambiguous"

Good solution, I will also add a clause for incantation classes (Once I get them all up each one will be a different mental attribute and I would prefer all three get to use them at least a bit).

Basically, the term "Valar" has only ever seen use in Tolkien's works, where they are the fourteen/fifteen highest beings, basically gods, one step above Sauron and Gandalf.

Since you took inspiration from the Vrykul, but probably wouldn't want to use that name since it's too obvious, you could take a different one from WoW that applies to some of them that is more tied to old Norse mythology: Ymirjar. In WoW they are frost vrykul loyal to the Lich King, whereas Ymir was the first frost giant in Norse mythology from whose body the world was made, IIRC.

Also, shouldn't they be Giants rather than Monstrous Humanoids? I kinda wonder.

Hm, I mostly just made the name from playing around with the world valor. Seeing as they are a nordic culture based around honor and fighting (Still need to finalize the fluff for them). I will probably change out the name to prevent confusion though.

Also for the monstrous humanoids versus giant type, I was never really clear what counted as a giant versus a monstrous humanoid. It seemed that the giants were always the 10+ HD monsters with tremendous strength while the monstrous humanoids like the ogre were the monsters with less HD and less strength (Still quite a big deal of it). Since they start with 2 HD I figured monstrous humanoid was more appropriate. Was I mistaken?

Well, if you're interested, one thing I would recommend is a ritual following themes like in the Tome of Necromancy. Alternatively, I recommend something like create greater undead used by a caster with Lord of the Uttercold and some high number of K(Religion) or K(Planes) ranks, like maybe 21 (so a level 18 player could pull it off).

And you could make it cost lots of money and maybe the body of an angel or something. A level 18 character will have lots of resources to burn anyhow.

I still am hesitant to let them animate it with an easily spammable ritual, maybe I should make it so that they have to sacrifice an arcane caster of above 15th level, a powerful good outsider and a lot of onyx or something along those lines. Or maybe I should make it it's own 9th level spell, animate uttercold archon.

I changed the name of the Valar to Hesir to prevent confusion with LoTR and also I finished the undeath incantation school. Any comments on balance would be much appreciated. Otherwise, I will have to get all the balance quirks out when I send some against my players

I think they might prefer to have the incantations and other spells balanced before they have to fight them.

**Silva Stormrage** · 2013-01-14, 10:23 PM (ISO 8601)

Finished the Vampiric Incantation School! The Death Knight is now fully playable. I would love to get some feedback on it.

**Road_Runner** · 2013-01-16, 12:01 AM (ISO 8601)

Hesir

Seems like a good really strong race, perfectly suited for the lord of uttercold class. Animate Dead as an SLA is obviously a really good ability, but doesn’t seem so strong it needs nerf right off the bat.

Death Knight

The Unliving: Becoming immune to mental ability damage seems too powerful and unnecessary since that’s not even an undead immunity. It would make more sense if it was just immune to physical ability score damage, and maybe you could add immunity to nonlethal damage to compensate.

Victory Rush: I like this ability, it fits the theme of the class. The healing is a lot and the bonus could be changed to 1/2/3 per level or the HD of the target killed, whichever is lower, to avoid being so strong against a bunch of weak targets (I know they have to give XP, but still). But eh, it’s fine as it is.

Faithful Lieutenant: Is there any reason the lieutenant is based on HD, not class level? I’m assuming synergy with your race, so the racial HD doesn’t slow it down?

Lord of the Uttercold

Well, already commented on this one, but I forgot what I and I’m not sure if it’s been changed so here goes.

Overall a really great class, really like the flavor and not much to say except for these two abilities:

Guardian Wings: This is still completely ridiculous. At the least needs to take an immediate action to use, but probably should also have some sort of cooldown and/or limit of times per day. And no, “it’s only a second level spell” is not a valid justification.

Demonic Ice Mirrors: Not even going to bother commenting on balance. I think it needs clarification on how fusing with a mirror works. I’m assuming AC of mirrors is 10, like any other objects? Do they have any hardness?

All leadership abilities: Well, it’s leadership. No balance commentary necessary.

(Skipping over feats/PRCs)

Incantations:

Boreal: I like these, good unique frost-themed abilities. Commenting on a few:

Frost Strike: This ability is good, I was just curious how you would even get close to the maximum 1d6/level? Since your spirit points max is 50, it seems like you could at maximum augment it 3d6.

Frost Bolt: Very strong as is, basically adding your level to damage with any cold attacks against the average target who probably has no cold resistance. Mechanically its pretty weird, (A level 1 wizard’s 1d3 ray of frost is now a significant blow?) and I feel like it could be easily abused, especially with a bunch of followers shooting volleys of arrows with the frost property. I just don’t think negative resistance makes sense...

Frozen Circle: Typo fix: inlace ⇒ in place. This ability is really cool.

Freezing Wind: What does checked mean? They can’t move at all in that direction? I feel like this is too strong especially with no save. Maybe fort saves allows them to move at half speed against the direction of the wind. Also 1 round/level is a long time?

Deep Freeze: Not sure how I feel about a no save 2 round no movement.

Frozen Circle(4), Freezing Ray(6): Both of these are basically save or die. Frozen circle isn’t bad because it requires multiple saves (although it forces multiple saves, so I guess it evens out). A save or die as a ranged touch attack at 6th level is pretty strong, especially when compared other spells/SLAs at that level (disintegrate, slay living, etc). I suggest when the target is frozen it should be reversable by stone to flesh. However, maybe the target melts in a non-freezing environment, taking 5 damage every 10 minutes. The ice status could have fire vulnerability but cold immunity, and healing up to the last 5 damage taken for every point of cold damage.

Freeze Magic: I feel like this is too strong if it affects items also with no save (or was it not intended to?)

Uttercold Tempest: 15d6 healing per round is really good, in addition to blocking vision and hurting everything else.

Pain: Nice, good thematic abilities overall.

Persistent Wound: As written, a cure light wounds SLA doesn’t stop the bleeding.

Ruin Strike: This is kind of OP, especially if you build a tank.

Pain Disruption: This one is cool.

Undead: Good thematically, but a lot of the abilites are broken...

Shadow Leech: Seems like a lot of strength for a second level ability...

Fortify Undead: +4 AC and DR is a lot for a 3rd level ability as a swift action 1 round/level. Maybe one or the other.

Undead Tactics, Formation: This should have a maximum of +8, or somewhere around there (surrounding yourself with 8 undead can give you +32 AC for 3 rounds, in addition to buffing them).

Unliving Bomb: Needs to be limited to 1 undead enchanted at a time, and I think the maximum number of d8s should be limited by HD (still a very strong invocation).

Undead Tactics, Suicidal: Needs a Cap on attack bonus. Still really good...

Shadow Fortification: What.

Unholy Toughness: What.

Soul Link: I feel like a maximum of 50% of damage taken should be put in place.

Soul Link Augmentation: No.

Not Permitted to Fail: So you give yourself a free instantaneous true ressurection?

Undead Tactics, Lockdown: …

Undead Summoney Stuff: Can’t really comment on because I don’t know how strong they are.

Overall this is really cool, and seems like a great homebrew for people who like undead.

The Unliving: Becoming immune to mental ability damage seems too powerful and unnecessary since that’s not even an undead immunity. It would make more sense if it was just immune to physical ability score damage, and maybe you could add immunity to nonlethal damage to compensate.

Victory Rush: I like this ability, it fits the theme of the class. The healing is a lot and the bonus could be changed to 1/2/3 per level or the HD of the target killed, whichever is lower, to avoid being so strong against a bunch of weak targets (I know they have to give XP, but still). But eh, it’s fine as it is.

Faithful Lieutenant: Is there any reason the lieutenant is based on HD, not class level? I’m assuming synergy with your race, so the racial HD doesn’t slow it down?

Lord of the Uttercold

Well, already commented on this one, but I forgot what I and I’m not sure if it’s been changed so here goes.

Overall a really great class, really like the flavor and not much to say except for these two abilities:

Guardian Wings: This is still completely ridiculous. At the least needs to take an immediate action to use, but probably should also have some sort of cooldown and/or limit of times per day. And no, “it’s only a second level spell” is not a valid justification.

Demonic Ice Mirrors: Not even going to bother commenting on balance. I think it needs clarification on how fusing with a mirror works. I’m assuming AC of mirrors is 10, like any other objects? Do they have any hardness?

Undead Summoney Stuff: Can’t really comment on because I don’t know how strong they are.

Thank you for posting, let me just go down the list.

Death Knight

The Unliving, I honestly feel this is fine. Its based on the progression that the bone knight prestige class gives. And honestly undead are immune to ability damage for all practical purposes. There are VERY few non mind affecting ways to inflict mental ability damage.

Victory Rush. Its actually intended to work on small weak enemies in particular. I wanted the Death Knight to be a class that wanted to rack up as large of a body count as possible, both for incantations and self healing. Though you do have a point on the amount of healing. 81 HP for dropping an enemy at level 18 is a bit much. I will reduce it so that it only increases to 4d8+2/Class Level and will increase the level at which it scales to 13th level

Faithful Lieutenant is meant to be based of HD to prevent the Death Knight from getting a ludicrously easily raised cohort with class levels. Class levels are infinitely stronger than HD in all situations. The doom knight is NOT meant to be a cohort, more of an ally that provides support like an animal companion.

Lord of the Uttercold

Guardian Wings: Still think your over reacting on this one. While this ability is active (It lasts for 10 rounds and is 1/encounter) the 14th level Lord of the Uttercold can block targeted spells and gain an ac bonus against area effect abilities. So the opponent has many options to stop this ability, one they could simply run or hide for 10 rounds. Lets assume spell caster in this situation, invisibility, rope trick, time hop, there are numerous ways a caster can simply run and stop the Lord of the Uttercold from hurting him. Two use any other spells that work or target other people, rays, area affect abilities, anti magic, spreads, resilient sphere/forcecage, all of them still work. 3: Target other people. 4: Use any kind of melee or ranged attack. It gives the Lord total cover for 1 attack, thats not even significant at 14th level as Mirror Image, Greater has been available for 7 levels. So in conclusion, its still fine. Also changing it to immediate action doesn't really do anything but limit mobility which I dislike since a Lord of the Uttercold is supposed to be very mobile. Abrubt Jaunt is STILL better than this ability and its a 1st level class feature for trading out a familiar…

Incantations:
Boreal:
Frost Strike: Left over line from a previous version. The cap is removed

Frost Bolt: I didn't think of ray of frost spammers. It was supposed to be a large buff to frost damage but I was thinking it in terms of using Frost Bolt again and other high damage abilities, not abilities like creeping cold and ray of frost. It can no longer reduce resistance below 0.

Frozen Circle: Typo fixed.

Freezing Winds: Checked means that they can't move in one direction. So if they are checked from the east they can move any direction except east. Its better in closed quarters but I don't think its that strong. Also its supposed to be 1 round/2 Levels Fixed. Made the fort save apply to the checked penalty though.

Frozen Circle: It requires the target to fail 5 fort saves in at most 7 rounds at level 4. If the enemy simply moves away from the incanter then the ability doesn't function (It checks the enemy's position at the beginning of the incanter's turn) Its strong in closed quarters, but also note it still hits allies. One thing I failed to add was a duration for the movement speed slowing effects (3 rounds refreshed on a failed save).

Freezing Ray is effectively a 6th level Flesh to Ice (Frost Burn) with a ranged touch attack required if the subject is affected by ice to flesh they are fine. I think though since this is at will a bonus on the save is applicable.

Freeze Magic. Magic Items are mostly not affected (If its say a scroll of bless it will be suppressed. Or a ring of invisibility as the ring lets you cast invisibility otherwise magic items are not affected at all)

Uttercold Tempest. Yes it is supposed to be very strong in small areas. However, this is also the level where everyone should have freedom of movement or something similar. The radius is 15ft, enemies can simply move out of the area.

Pain
Persistiant wound. Actually SLAs are treated as spells for that kind of thing. Its odd but it still applies.

Ruin Strike. I was thinking about this actually. I was thinking of increasing the incantation time to a full round action and then halving the damage for both it and Pain. I will put those in and see if anything goes wrong with that.

Undeath: The main thing I think you are having trouble understanding is that you are looking at the caps and thinking that the incanter can spam it easily. First point of recognition, how does the Death Knight create undead? Undeath Incantations and his doom knight and rebuke undead. While he might be able to UMD or spell stich regular animate dead if he tries to get a lot of minor (Human skeletons for example) undead those undead will just get blown apart in any encounter and he has to rebuild his army. Necromancers in my experience anyway do not get ANYWHERE near the cap they can reach.

Shadow Strength Leech: Its a buff that takes a standard action, I preferred making it a large buff rather than a swift action smaller buff. A second level character will not be able to have 10 undead under his control unless the DM is just giving him hordes and the hordes somehow not die.

Fortify Undead. Its a 5th level ability not 3rd, And at that level Dread Necromancers already have DR 4. DR in order for it to matter at all needs to be at least equal to the level of the characters. The ac bonus is a bit much though as its effectively a quickened shield. Reducing it to +2 and reducing the bonus to DR to +3.

Unliving Bomb… Odd I thought I had those actually. (Actually as it was written it just dealt 1d8 damage not 1d8 per level…)

Suicidal Tactics: Added a cap equal to their BAB on the + to hit.

Shadow Fortification. Originally I was confused by this point, then I realize when I edited it the first time I slightly messed up what bonuses it gives. It is only supposed to AC and DR. And even then it will rarely get above + 8 to either.

Unholy Toughness. This I am actually confused on though. Its pretty much standard for undead to be able to get their charisma to their HP. I guess if you had two incanters you could use it on yourself but even that doesn't seem that strong. Vigor + Share Pain for psions nets a much more reliable and effective way for Temporary Hitpoints. Though I am honestly not thinking about these buffs out of combat. I might need to mention that the Death Knight can't refresh incantations out of combat with a full round action and it takes a five minutes to refresh.

Soul Link: No I don't like the idea of making it 50%. I will reduce it to three undead selected instead of 5 though

Augmentation: Okay I agree, I removed the clause about removing things like daze and stun. Otherwise I feel thats fine for a use of 50 soul power.

Not Permited to fall. No? Its not true resurrection at all. Its a slightly altered Fortunate Fate a 7th level cleric spell that has a much much longer duration and is better frankly. In exchange for automatically healing the damage instead of fortunate fate's flat heal spell (150hp + removal of a whole slew of debuffs) it has to be cast in combat eating a standard action and it only lasts 1 round per level. Its certainly GOOD. But its no better than fortunate fate which is better. For living creatures it will probably heal less than Heal (most characters don't have 300+ HP) but in exchange it works better on Undead (Which there are less PC's as)

Undead Tactics Lockdown. I forgot a clause about two undead can only disrupt one target at a time. But other than that it seems fine to me. A chained flesh shiver does the same thing + damage and takes a standard action, affects more targets, and potentially inflicts an extra 2-6 rounds of nauseation. Crusaders get a martial maneuver that automatically inflicts daze as well. Sacrificing your whole turn plus the majority of your strong army's turn isn't something thats ludicrously overpowered.

Yeah, actually that seems totally fine looking back on it. I just thought it seemed like a weird immunity, but it is very in line with their immunity to mind affecting.

Ah ok, I see.

Ok maybe I'm really confused about this ability. You mention using rays, or any kind of melee/ranged attack to get around wings of cover? Wings of cover states that it works against melee or ranged attacks, so I don't see why it wouldn't work against a ray or eldritch blast or charge attack. Also rereading the spell, I realize that targeted spells can be redirected to allies if I'm reading correctly. I guess considering that, it's significantly less powerful, although still a very powerful ability.

Oh ok. I was thinking of this as out of combat, and using it one yourself.

Hmmm, I feel like I totally missed the whole 1 round duration. Seems fine then.

EDIT: Ok, did not realize how many oks I said upon originally posting.

Ya, honestly after a few test matches I think I do notice a problem. Magic items... There are way too many immediate action magic items that let a lord of the uttercold just jump around to easily. I am going to switch the ability to an immediate action and make it so while uttercold dragon is active flash step is a free action that can be activated once per round.

I am currently working on the next incanter class the Plague Witch but I think I may have gone tunnel vision when designing the incantations. Does anyone have any good out of combat or utility incatations? Boreal has a few with their dispels and the ability to freeze liquid easily but out of combat incanters may be slightly subpar.
