• Charm: You gain access to the spell Charm Person. What this means depends on your previous spellcasting class:
  - Cleric: You gain Charm Person as a 1st level Cleric spell.
  - Sorcerer: You gain Charm Person as a bonus 1st level spell known. If you already know Charm Person, you may use your class ability to trade out your previous Charm Person for any other 1st level spell. You cannot trade out this bonus Charm Person.
  - Wizard: You may spontaneously convert prepared 1st level spells into Charm Person.
• Infernal Familiar: You may summon a familiar, chosen from the standard list or an Imp, Spinnagon or Hell Hound. Disciple levels stack with Wizard and/or Sorcerer levels to determine the power level of your familiar. You may still only have one familiar at a time. If you choose your new familiar from the standard list, it gains the Fiendish template.
• Tyrant (Su): Any creature that is unconditionally under the Disciple's command, such as a dominated or summoned monster, gains the indicated bonus to its attack & damage rolls.
• Aura of Despair (Su): The disciple radiates a malign aura that causes enemies within 10 feet of him to take a -2 penalty on all saving throws. This effect stacks with the Blackguard's Aura of Despair.
• Willbreaker (Su): Any spell with the [Charm] or [Compulsion] descriptor cast by the disciple gains the indicated bonus to its will DC.
• Dominate: You gain access to the spell Dominate Person. What this means depends on your previous spellcasting class:
  - Cleric: You gain Dominate Person as a 5th level Cleric spell.
  - Sorcerer: You gain Dominate Person as a bonus 5th level spell known. If you already know Dominate Person, you may use your class ability to trade out your previous Dominate Person for any other 1st level spell. You cannot trade out this bonus Dominate Person.
  - Wizard: You may spontaneously convert prepared 5th level spells into Dominate Person.
• Infernal Bargain (Su): Once per week, the Disciple may call upon his Infernal Master's reputation when bargaining with devils. The Disciple may safely call a devil (using any planar binding or planar ally spell at his disposal), and assign it a task without paying any monetary or XP cost normally associated with such transactions. At 10th level, the Disciple may use this power 2/week.
• Aura of Command (Su): The Disciple generates an aura that extends 5 ft. per point of Charisma bonus (minimum 10 ft.). All allies within this aura gain a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls, and a +1 morale bonus to saves against fear. Furthermore, the aura grants the Disciple a +4 Circumstance bonus on all Intimidate checks, and Diplomacy checks when dealing with evil creatures.
• Dreadmaster: The Disciple gains +2 Int, +2 Wis and +2 Cha. Each bonus is treated as though gained by increase in level.

I have to agree that the Disciple of Memphistopheles is too much. The prior version did get a 4d6 flame ray, but the spell you are using gives him multiple rays at once.

• Sneak Attack (Ex): As the Rogue class ability.
• Liar (Su): You gain SR equal to your ranks in Bluff against all spells and spell-like abilities that attempt to detect lies or determine truth.
• Flyswarm (Sp): Once per day per Diciple level, the Disciple may cast a special version of the Summon Swarm spell (caster level 10 + Disciple level), except that he may only summon biting flies.
• Cloak of Vermin (Ex): The Disciple will never be attacked by a swarm of vermin, his own or someone else's, and may pass through such swarms at full speed. He need never make concentration checks within such swarms. Furthermore, any swarming vermin in the Disciple's square provide him with partial concealment (20% miss chance).
• Charisma: This bonus is treated as though gained by increase in level.
• Direct Swarm (Su): As a move-equivalent action, the Disciple may direct the action of a single swarm that he has summoned.
• Quicken Flyswarm: 3/day, as though the Disciple had the Quicken Spell-Like Ability Feat. This only applies to normal fly swarms, not infernal black fly swarms.
• Suggestion (Sp or Special): The Disciple either gains Suggestion as a spell-like ability usable 1/day, or gains Suggestion as a bonus Bard spell known. The Disciple may change which version of this ability he will receive for the next day at midnight.
• Fly Eyes (Su): The Disciple can see glimpses from the thousands of eyes in a fly swarm. He is not considered flanked if he or one of his flankers is within a fly swarm.
• Black Files of Hell: When using his Flyswarm ability, the Disciple may summon an Infernal Black Fly Swarm instead. Even though the Infernal Black Flies are Fine Magical Beasts, they are treated as Vermin for the Disciple's Cloak of Vermin ability.
• Glibness (Sp or Special): As Suggestion above, the Disciple either receives Glibness 1/day as a spell-like ability, or as a bonus spell known.
• Discorporate (Su): When reduced to 0 or less HP, the Disciple's body bursts into ten thousand normal flies (one swarm of flies), and attempts to escape as a swarm. If the swarm escapes with at least 1 hp and finds a dark, damp place where it can remain undisturbed for at least one hour, it will re-corporate as the Disciple.

Its final modifications, counting the cost of the Spider Ritual, are: Str +4, Dex +2, Con +4, Int +4, Wis +4, Cha +4, AC -1, Attack -1, Natural Armor +6. Despite being Large, the Drider still only has 5 ft. natural reach.

No offense Nifft, this is good stuff. But isn't Lolth considered by D&D cannon/d20 to be a goddess now? I mean I'm sure it could be different else-where, but in Greyhawk and in the Realms, she's a goddess. Just pointing that out. Otherwise, nice class.
