Hunefer Template
Hunefers are the mummies of demigods whose power has not utterly departed to astral realms.
Hunefers are withered and desiccated. Their features are hidden beneath ages-old funerary windings. They move with unbelievable celerity, quickly and efficiently defending their resting places. Most hunefers are inscribed with the symbols and pictured idols that were once important to the demigod mummy.
Hunefers seek always to recapture their godly essence, though the separation of flesh (the hunefer) and spirit (isles in the astral realm) is remarkably difficult to bridge—the hunefer effectively an altogether different being, who is driven by the corpse memories of its body of past power, though destined to never possess it. Should a dead god rise from its grave in the Astral Plane, the cast-off flesh of a hunefer is likely forgotten, and no better (or worse) off than before, except for its undying rage at being left behind.
“Hunefer” is a template that can be added to any character that has been a Demi-God or higher and who subsequently died.

Hunefer rot is both a curse and disease, and can be cured only by first removing the curse and then curing the disease. Even after the curse element of hunefer rot is lifted, a creature suffering from it cannot recover naturally over time. Anyone casting a conjuration (healing) spell on the afflicted creature must succeed at a caster level check (DC = 11 + the Hunefer’s HD), or the spell is wasted and the healing has no effect. An afflicted creature that dies shrivels away into sand unless both remove disease and raise dead (or better) are cast on the remains within 2 rounds. If the remains are not so treated, on the third round the dust swirls and reform the dead character with the dread mummy template (Advanced Bestiary) under the hunefer's command.

Sandstorm Wrath (Su)
A number of time per day equal to its former divine rank, as a standard action, a Hunefer can exhale a blast of superheated sand in a 120-foot cone. The blast deals 4d8 points of fire and slashing damage for every 3 Hit Dice a Hunefer possesses. A successful Reflex save halves this damage.
Creatures that fail this save are also blinded.
Undead Empire (Su)
As a standard action, a Hunefer can attempt to bend any undead creature within 50 feet to its will. The targeted undead must succeed at a Will save or fall under the Hunefer’s control (the save DC is Charisma-based).
An undead with an Intelligence score is allowed an additional save every day to break free of the Hunefer’s control; for undead without an Intelligence score, the control is permanent. A creature that succeeds at its Will save cannot be affected again by the same Hunefer’s undead mastery for 24 hours. A Hunefer can control 12 Hit Dice of undead creatures for every Hit Die it has.
If the Hunefer exceeds this limit, any excess undead from earlier uses of this ability become uncontrolled, as per animate dead. If another creature is currently controlling an undead that fails its save against undead mastery, the Hunefer must roll an opposed Charisma check against the current controller. If the Hunefer succeeds, it wrests away control of the undead. Otherwise, the Hunefer’s undead mastery attempt has no effect.

It can also expend Mythic Power to use the augmented versions of these spell and spell-like abilities. If the hunefer is already mythic (like wizard 60/archmage 8), this pool of mythic power is apart and cannot be used for activate mythic path abilities (like the wild arcana path ability) and the hunefer is considered 10th-rank or his other rank/tier, whichever of the two is higher. If his other rank/tier is higher, this pool improved: this pool can be used a number of time per day equal to his rank/tier and the surge increase as appropriate for the rank/tier.
Only Flesh (Ex)
A Hunefer is generated when the spirit of an immortal and his body separate. Having no soul, a Hunefer is immune to all effects targeting a soul such as trap the soul, soul bind, etc., or the Spiritsense sense of Psychopomps.
