Vindice, God Jailer

Obly99

Hero
Happy Sunday everyone, today I bring you something juicy. In a universe with all Sidereals sealed, who makes sure the gods follow their oaths? As incomprehensible as it is, the society of the gods has a very rigid structure with strict rules to prevent a second Cosmic War from breaking out and putting the multiverse at risk. Anyone who violates them is ruthlessly hunted by the Vindices, Entities leftovers of couplings of Sidereals with the portfolio of revenge.

A Vindice looks like a smartly dressed human. The Vindices covers their body with bandages. They also wear black top hats and cravats. Otherwise, they also wear subtly different black cloaks and some kind of accessory. Beneath their cloaks, noone knows how they really are.

Divine Abilities
• Apocrypha (Ex): +50 to save against divination.
• Perfect Initiative (Su): Always First.
• Telelocation (Su): You automatically know the location of any unshielded thing.
• True Seeing (Su): True Seeing constant.

Cosmic Abilities
• Capture the Betrayer (Su): See below.
• Chains of Damnation (Su): See below.
• Chains for Mortal (Su): See below. Feat
• Chains for the Immortals (Su): See below.
• Chains for the Prideful (Su): See below.


Alter Reality (Su)
Once per round as a free action a Vindice can duplicate any spell of a level equal to 38 with a caster level of 248th. This ability can also duplicate any epic spells of a DC equal to 291. Other use of this ability are GM’s discretion.

Capture the Betrayer (Cosmic Ability) (Su)
A Vindice, when hit a creature with a divine rank between 1 and 16 (include 1 and 16) (even, and mostly with its chain) ignore freedom of movement or similar effects that prevent grapple and gain a bonus on grapple check equal to the victim size bonus to CMD. A Vindice never gains the grappled condition if it is in control of the grapple. A Vindice can grapple creature of any size.

Chains of Damnation (Cosmic Ability) (Su)
A Vindice, when in control of a grapple started with its chains, prevents the use of powers by its victim. This work like the Dead Zone Transcendental Ability with the difference that work only on the creature grappled with its chain and if the victim has less than 17 divine ranks (but not against a creature without a divine rank). This allow the Vindice to use supernatural ability and spell on the creature (mainly Transportation, see below) without that the victim can use hers for counterattack.

Chains for Mortal (Cosmic Ability) (Su)
A Vindice, when in control of a grapple started with its chains, prevents the use of feats abilities by its victim. This work like the Nullification Cosmic Ability with the difference that work only on the creature grappled with its chain and if the victim has less than 17 divine ranks (but not against a creature without a divine rank).

Chains for the Immortals (Cosmic Ability) (Su)
A Vindice, when in control of a grapple started with its chains, prevents the use of Divine abilities by its victim. This work like the Divine Nullification Transcendental Ability with the difference that work only on the creature grappled with its chain and if the victim has less than 17 divine ranks (but not against a creature without a divine rank).

Chains for the Prideful (Cosmic Ability) (Su)
A Vindice, when in control of a grapple started with its chains, prevents the use of Cosmic abilities by its victim. This work like the Cosmic Nullification Omnific Ability with the difference that work only on the creature grappled with its chain and if the victim has less than 17 divine ranks (but not against a creature without a divine rank).

Cosmic Might (Ex)
A Vindice deals d20's for base damage dice of all melee, natural weapon, and unarmed attacks with virtual size categories, and its damage dice cannot go below this dice but this cannot increase to more dice than its HD.

Cosmic String (Ex)
A Vindice can only be permanently destroyed by a being of equal or better divine status. If a Vindice is destroyed by a being of a lower divine status it simply rejuvenates within 1d10 minutes in Axis.

Divine Traits (Ex)
As an Entity (Old One), a Vindice gains a +32 divine bonus to: armor class; attack rolls; checks (ability checks, caster level checks, skill checks, etc.); difficulty class (for any special abilities, spell-like abilities, spells); initiative; saving throws and spell resistance. A Vindice natural attacks or any weapons he wields, are treated as epic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. An Entity does not age, requires no air to breathe, no food or drink to sustain itself, nor sleep.

Knowledge (Ex)
A Vindice add its Intelligence modifier as an insight bonus to AC and saving throws. It count all knowledge skills as class skills.

Magnetar (Ex)
Once a Vindice has identified a target for capture, the two beings are inextricably linked, and the Vindice can follow the target anywhere. Treat this as an infinite-range Spell Stowaway attuned to any magical methods of movement.

Mystical Chains (Su)
A Vindice’s chains function as the damnation weapon (see below). These chains become mundane non-magical iron chains if a Vindice does not carry or wield them, and if a chain is disarmed or destroyed, a Vindice can create a new set of chains as a move action. The chains react almost as a living extension of the Vindice’s will and have the grab ability. A Vindice has a range of 1.000 ft. with its chains.

Mythic (Ex)
A Vindice has Mythic Power (32/day, Surge +20d6) and counts as a 32th-rank Mythic creature. A Vindice can use any of his Alter Reality effects as the Mythic versions of those spells (if a Mythic version of that spell exists), expending Mythic Power as normal. It can also expend Mythic Power to use the augmented versions of these spells.

Sense the Betrayal (Su)
A Vindice automatically know if in the plane where it is currently, a deity violates the cosmic contract. The Vindice automatically know the name and position of the deity and can teleport in his position as a swift action.

Transportation (Su)
When the Vindice maintaining with success a grapple started with its chains as a move action (with its Greater Grapple feat), as a standard action it can force the victim to make a Will save DC 179 or be transported with the Vindice at the Immortal Prison under the Vindices jurisdiction. Usually when a creature is transported to the prison for the deities is never see again. If the victim succeed the saving throw, the effect is negated and the Vindice must wait another round to try again transportation (or lesser if it can maintain the grapple with a move action and immediately after use a standard for use Transportation). The save is Charisma-based.


Damnation
Damantion is a +57 axiomatic power axiomatic scion divine dread everdancing ghost touch spiked chain of speed. The divine dread is its unique ability obtained while held by a Vindice, obtainig the Dread weapon ability against any creature with a divine rank lower than 17 (but not against a creature without a divine rank). (115 total bonus)

might want to change the 17 to a 23, the max rank of a Greater god is not 17 but 23 i believe(24 onwards is an elder one).
If I'm not mistaken, a Greater Deity rank is 13-16, 17-24 is an Elder One. As I understand it those marked in IH are the maximum rank.
1 Disciple
2 Prophet
3 Hero Deity
4 Quasi Deity
5-6 Demi-Deity
7-8 Lesser Deity
9-12 Intermediate Deity
13-16 Greater Deity
17-24 Elder One
25-32 Old One
33-48 First One

I see. I've never read it so: how similar is this version to the original?
Little or nothing, in the manga they are human skilled fighters but within the limit of levels 7-16. Their appearance and name was a tribute because when I read them many years ago, their design impressed me enormously.
 

i dont think so even the normal dnd allows for greater deities up to divine rank 20
Intermediate Deity 12 10,000,000-99,999,999 Horus
Greater Deity 16 100,000,000-999,999,999 Dagda
Elder One 24 1,000,000,000-9,999,999,999 Surtur

What is written on IH is the maximum rank allowed (the IH use a different progression), but I will ask Upper_Krust for confirmation

This is correct. However, Deities within a certain status always have the same rank (all greater deities are 16, for example), unlike the official Deities and Demigods book.
