Note: All of Nameless's stats have a +4 Enhancement Bonus (Int and Con has a +6), from what is effectively a slotless, inherent item. He has however suffered a -2 to con as a result of Mordain Fleshweaver's "modifications". The same modifications provide a +5 to saves, +6 Deflection Bonus to AC and a +5 Natural Armor Bonus. For 20th lv we were all given max HP per die.

–– CLASS ABILITIES ––
• Conjurer: You are specialized in the school of Conjuration. You can prepare one additional Conjuration spell per spell level each per day. You gain a +2 bonus to Spellcraft checks to learn spells from this school. Illusion and Necromancy spells are prohibited to you.
• Rapid Summoning: You can cast a summon spell as a Standard action rather than a Full Round action. This is the option from UA, which you get by giving up a familiar.
• Summon Alien: Summon ""pseudonatural"" versions of creatures when you cast any summon monster spell.
• Alien Blessing(Ex): You gain a +1 insight bonus on saving throws, but you permanently lose 2 points of Wisdom.
• Mad Certainty(Ex): You gain the feat Improved Toughness, but suffer penalties to Bluff, Diplomacy and Handle Animal checks made to influence nonpseudonatural creatures.
• USURP AUTHORITY : You may seize control of another caster's summoned creatures. When the spell is being cast, you may make an opposed caster level check as an immediate action. If you win, the summoned creatures treat you as the caster when they appear. If you choose to wait until your turn and use a full-round action, you get a +4 on the opposed check (you do not have this option if you have already tried and failed the opposed check as an immediate action). In order to use this ability, you must be able to detect that a summon spell is being cast, whether through sight and a Spellcraft check, or in some other manner.
• Additional Summoning Slot : You gain an extra spell slot at your highest spell level, that can only be used for summoning spells. As you gain higher level spells it migrates up to your highest spell level. This has been changed to what Nameless uses to summon the Horror.
• Enhanced Summoning: Nameless summons 2 creatures rather than one creature from the same level list and 1d4+1 of creatures from a lower level list. This replaces the second Toughness that an Alienist normally receives, he still takes the -10 penalties to Bluff, Diplomacy and Handle Animals checks.
• Timeless Body(Ex): You no longer suffer ability penalties for aging and cannot be magically aged.
• Alien Transcendence(Su): Your type is now outsider. You have penalties to Disguise and gain DR 10/magic and acid and electricity resistance 10. You gain bonuses on interactions in some situations.
• Spin Fate(Ex): As a free action, you can use up to a total of 4 points of spin per
day to increase the save DC of a spell.
• Fickle Finger of Fate(Ex): 1/day as an immediate action, you can force any other creature to which you have line of sight to reroll a roll it has just made.
• Spin Destiny(Ex): You can now add spin to any skill check, attack roll, or saving throw that you attempt on a point-for-point basis. You must apply the spin before making the roll.
• Deny Fate(Ex): 1/day, on the first occasion when you must make a check to become stable when dying, the check automatically succeeds.
• Resist Fate(Ex): 1/day, you can reroll one roll that you have just made.

–– FEATS ––
• Imp Augment Summoning +6 Str/+6 Con for Summoned Creatures
• Spell Focus (Conjuration)
• Widen Spell
• Extend Spell
• Quicken Spell
• Transdimensional Spell
• Maximize Spell
• Scribe Scroll
• Improved Toughness
• Improved Initiative
• Aberrant Dragonmark - Aspect of Cyäegha : Nameless takes more fully on the appearance and characteristics of his Patron.

Gaining SR 25, +4 Caster Level boost, Resist Fire and Cold 10, Immunity to Disease, +4 save vs Poison, DR 5/Byeshk and cannot be flanked.

Move action to manifest the Aspect lasts 1 rnd/lvl and can be invoked 1/day. This is modeled loosely on the Aspect of the Diety spell. Shil doesn't like stat buffs so Nameless gets a caster level boost instead.

Since hitting the Big Leagues (AKA caster lv > 20) while manifesting the Aspect, Nameless also gains access to a single unique Epic Level Spell

Armor Of Xoriat

Armor of Xoriat grants a +4 Untyped Bonus to both AC and Saves. In addition when struck by a spell or in combat it has an additional random protective effect
(1d8)
1 – 20 points of fire damage (Ref half); vs. a spell, reduces numerical effects (damage, duration, etc) by 10%
2 – 40 points of acid damage (Ref half); vs. a spell, reduces numerical effects (damage, duration, etc) by 25%
3 – 80 points of electricity damage (Ref half); vs. a spell, reduces numerical effects (damage, duration, etc) by 50%
4 – Poison. Die instantly or take 1d6 Con damage on a Fort save; vs. a spell, reduces numerical effects (damage, duration, etc) by 75%
5 – Turned to stone (Fort negates); vs. a spell, changes its target randomly to someone else within fifty feet
6 – Become insane as insanity spell (Will negates); vs. a spell, causes it to target caster in addition to Nameless
7 – Creature sent to another plane (Will negates); vs. a spell, negates its effects completely
8 – Impacts two layers. Roll twice on the list above, rerolling if another “8” occurs

The DC for the saves is 20 + Int (DC 31). The layers are not affected by area effect spells, and if the melee or natural attack is by a creature of 8HD or less, it is automatically blinded for 2d4 rounds (besides being affected in any other way by the layer it impacts).

It's essentially "Prismatic Mage Armor", the visual effect is similar to that of the Shields in the David Lynch "Dune" movie, only Nameless is covered in shifting planes of Xoriat. Some of his 9th lv spells have been "re-skinned" with similar flavor text (Maw of Chaos, Reality Maelstrom, Sphere of Ultimate Annihilation).

Some Explanatory Notes:

Shilsen has changed the Phantom Library to include all PHB Spells + 2 Spell Compendium Spells per caster level (ie. 4 extra spells per Level of Spells).

Shilsen changed the benefit from Mad Certainty from Toughness to Imp Toughness.

Usurp Authority is another addition by Shil, since Nameless lacks a Familiar which would ordinarily gain the Pseudonatural Template at this level.

Nameless actually dates back to the campaign that predated Shilsen's current campaing. Though there is nominally no connection between the two characters. He originally had a 3 charisma, but Shil wouldn't permit that or initially for the character to be "nameless". So in partial revenge I created "Edgar" a black rock of undetermined type which he talks to and more or less treating as a familiar. Note: It does not detect as magic. A common and well known feature of artifacts. It also doesn't register as evil, when detect evil is performed. No matter HOW many times you do it Gareth.

In Shil's campaign the character came stumbling out of the mists of the Mournland several days after the Day of Mourning. Though some of the characters believed he might be someone they'd seen briefly before, he insisted that he was nameless. Which became his name or as he's told several NPCs "It is really a description, rather than a Name. But it sounds like a name in any language, except one."

We recently swapped out a level of Wizard, for another Alienist. So he's hit lv 10 (Transcendence) a level earlier than otherwise would have been the case. Not actually, the optimal choice, but it fit well the moment in the campaign. Nameless is apparently the first person to ever have hit Transcendence (Alienist 10) in Eberron (in his campaign).

Since finishing up Alienist, I had him take levels of Fate Spinner in a vain attempt to do something about mine and Korm's generally horrible rolls. It has of course proved vain and fruitless, but oh well...

Special abilities from Mordain: (1) In wildshape form, is always one size larger than form’s normal size. Has +4 size bonus to Str, +2 size bonus to Con, +4 size bonus to natural armor, but -4 size penalty to Dex and half speed of normal form (one poorer maneuverability category if flying). (2) In wildshape form, if she takes ability damage, heals 1 pt per minute. (3) Possesses darkvision in all wildshape forms. (4) Tentacle-worm translates words to Common while in wildshape (5) Tongue doesn't store spells any more, but is instead designed for casting touch spells. When Luna casts a touch spell, she can deliver it with the tongue, which has two benefits. It gives a +2 bonus on the touch attack, and also is extensible, so it reaches 5 ft beyond her current reach.

Belt of Mage Armor – When the wearer wildshapes, this belt remains active and changes to look like a dark strip of hair (or feathers, as a bird) encircling the midriff. It provides a +4 armor bonus.

Staff of Survival – If activated, the staff stands upright & expands into a 20 ft tall sapling; it creates a Leomund's Tiny Hut around the sapling and grows 2d4 berries (work as Goodberry), one apple (Vigor) and one tangerine (Remove Disease & Neutralize Poison); fruits must be eaten within 1 minute of plucking. Leomund’s Tiny Hut lasts for 10 hrs

Necklace from Mournland: Command word “Sundar”; for 1 hour, become more attractive and gain +5 circumstance bonus to Diplomacy; when worn, protects against divination spells like Nondetection does, requiring a DC 30 caster level check to succeed, and also makes it impossible to contact the person through magical communication.

Notes:

There are a few house rules I utlize that affect the above stat blocks, namely:

1) Power Attack is capped at -5 to hit and +5 to dmg (+10 with a two-handed weapon).

2) All classes and creature types get +2 skill pts per level/HD.

3) TWF feats provide a +2 shield bonus to AC that stacks with each other but not with other shield bonuses.

4) Bear's Endurance and similar spells last 10 min/lvl

The boomerang throwers above had an extra feat in exchange for dropping Track and the favored enemy ability.

Feats (7): Combat Reflexes, Dodge, Flyby Attack, Improved Initiative, Mobility, Spring Attack, Power Attack, Weapon Focus (tentacles), Improved Crit

SA/Q: Alien Mind, Darkvision 60’, DR 10/byeshk, Frightful Presence, House of Lamentation, Insane Resilience, Resistances (acid 15, electricity 15), SR 25, Tentacle Whirlwind, True Strike 1/day, Unstoppable Presence

Alien Mind (Ex): The alien mind of the pseudonatural horror makes it immune to mind-affecting effects.

Frightful Presence (Su): Anyone (except alienists and aberrations) with 24 or less HD seeing the horror attack must make a DC 27 Will save or be shaken. Anyone with 8 or less HD seeing the horror attack must make a DC 27 Will save or be frightened (and is shaken even on success). This save is Charisma-based.

House of Lamentation (Su): If the horror is able to hit a target with all four tentacles as a full attack, the target must make a DC 33 Will save or be instantly carried away to a demiplane that replicates the madness of Xoriat. Both horror and victim disappear instantly and reappear in the same space (or, if it is occupied, the nearest open space) a round later, at the end of the horror’s turn. The victim must make a DC 33 Will save or affected by a Confusion spell for 1 minute. If it fails the save by 5 points or more, it is affected with permanent Insanity (as the spell). Once a creature is affected by this ability it cannot be so again for 24 hours. Aberrations and alienists get a +4 bonus on the saves. Creatures from Xoriat are still carried away but are immune to the confusion/insanity effect. This is a mind-affecting enchantment (compulsion) effect. This save is Charisma-based and has a +4 racial bonus.

Insane Resilience (Su): The horror has a +6 deflection bonus to AC and +6 resistance bonus to saves

Tentacle Whirlwind (Ex): As a full-round action, the horror can take a normal move (which does not provoke an attack of opportunity) and engulf a target of its size or smaller within a whirlwind of tentacles. The affected creature must make a DC 32 Reflex save or be engulfed, taking 4d6+12 pts of damage each round (on the horror’s turn) that it is stuck. The creature is allowed a Reflex save each round to escape. The save DC is Strength-based.
A trapped creature cannot move except to go where the horror carries it (the horror can only take a single move or standard action each round that it has someone engulfed). It takes a -4 penalty to Dexterity and -2 to attack rolls but can otherwise act normally. It can cast spells too, but must make a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level).

Unstoppable Presence (Su): Unlike other summoned creatures, the horror cannot be hedged out by a Protection from Evil or similar spell. It also cannot be dismissed by a Dispel Magic or Greater Dispel Magic spell. Only spells specifically designed for dismissing creatures (like Dismissal) can send it away.

***********************************************************
Notes:

The Horror is based off of a Elder Air Elemental. It's got a bit fewer HP and HD, but better Saves, SR and a couple of unique abilities.

The name means "Skull Topped Staff" in Hindu, which has nothing to do with it's appearence or abilities, but I thought it sounded cool. I added a bunch of single quotes to the name because that's just so Lovecraftian.

The Houses of Lamentation ability is based on the classic line from the King of the Nazgul.

"Come not between the Nazgul and his prey! Or he will not slay thee in thy turn. He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shrivelled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye."

Take out the Nazgul bit and the line fits remarkably well.

When it first appeared, I suggested to Gareth's player that he could stop it by casting "Magic Circle against Evil" since that normally hedges out summoned creatures, knowing full well it was useless against the Horror. Hehehehehehehehe...

Special Abilities/Qualities: Shifter racial abilities (shifting, low-light vision, racial bonuses), beast spirit (see below), woodland stride, wildshape (6/day, large, tiny, plant, huge; elemental 3/day, huge), venom immunity, a thousand faces, timeless body [Note: Traded out nature sense, wild empathy, trackless step, and resist nature's lure for 1 feat], Supreme Wildshape

Beast Spirit benefits: Alertness, ability bonus (+6 bonus to 1 ability), extend shifting (+2 rds), feral empathy (+4 wild empathy & Handle Animal), will of the spirit (if failing a save vs. an enchantment spell/effect, retry save 1 rd later), transfer spirit (as move action, send beast spirit into a summoned creature; druid loses beast spirit benefits, the creature gains twice the ability bonus that the druid would get, & druid can also communicate with the creature), prepare spell (prepare an extra spell of 6th lvl or lower with range touch or personal; beast spirit can cast the spell on the druid, as a swift action), rapid summons (cast summons, up to 1 less than max one can cast, as standard action)

Supreme Wildshape: When wildshaping, Luna takes on not only the offensive abilities but also all the defensive traits of the form attained. She also automatically gains all the benefits of shifting (+2 increase to Con, scent ability, natural weapons are one size larger and critical on 19-20) too, which last as long as she is wildshaped.

Special abilities from Mordain: (1) In wildshape form, is always one size larger than form’s normal size (to a maximum of huge; if taking on a huge form, she remains huge but gains all the benefits/penalties listed). Natural weapons are one size larger. Has a +4 size bonus to Str, +2 size bonus to Con, +4 size bonus to natural armor, but -4 size penalty to Dex and half speed of normal form (one poorer maneuverability category if flying). (2) In wildshape form, if she takes ability damage, heals 1 pt per minute. (3) Possesses darkvision in all wildshape forms. (4) Tentacle-worm translates words to Common while in wildshape (5) Tongue doesn't store spells any more, but is instead designed for casting touch spells. When Luna casts a touch spell, she can deliver it with the tongue, which has two benefits. It gives a +2 bonus on the touch attack, and also is extensible, so it reaches 5 ft beyond her current reach.

Belt of Mage Armor – When the wearer wildshapes, this belt remains active and changes to look like a dark strip of hair (or feathers, as a bird) encircling the midriff. It provides a +4 armor bonus.

Staff of Survival – If activated, the staff stands upright & expands into a 20 ft tall sapling; it creates a Leomund's Tiny Hut around the sapling and grows 2d4 berries (work as Goodberry), one apple (Vigor) and one tangerine (Remove Disease & Neutralize Poison); fruits must be eaten within 1 minute of plucking. Leomund’s Tiny Hut lasts for 10 hrs

Necklace from Mournland: Command word “Sundar”; for 1 hour, become more attractive and gain +5 circumstance bonus to Diplomacy; when worn, protects against divination spells like Nondetection does, requiring a DC 30 caster level check to succeed, and also makes it impossible to contact the person through magical communication.
