Legend
The Vampire. I was pretty free and easy with DvR0 at this point - most powerful immortals posessed it, even if their immortality came from a different source. Sibud was a nightmare to figure out; I'm sure there are still errors in his stat block.
I was never sure about the remote annihilation spell - mechanically, it's based on soul dominion, but it might be too much. Oh well.

Finally, it grants a +30 competence bonus to all Spellcraft and Knowledge (arcana) checks involving the necromancy school.
Epic Spells:
Penetrating Death (Spellcraft DC 84): [Slay (+25), Ward (+14); 1 action (+20), nullify death ward (+6), +10 spell penetration (+20), +12 Save DC (+24). 10d6 backlash, 1500 XP.]
• Necromancy [Death]. Target creature of up to 80HD within 300 ft. must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 50) or die. Death ward is ineffective against penetrating death. If the target possesses SR, Sibud gains a +10 bonus on his caster level check to overcome it.
Inevitable Charisma Buff (Spellcraft DC 54): [Fortify (+17); increase bonus by +19 (+38), burn 100XP]
• Sibud's enhancement bonus to Charisma increases to +20, Add +7 to all Charisma-based skill checks and the DCs of all sorcerer spells, spell-like abilities, and Charisma-based supernatural abilities. 1 minute casting time, 20-hr. duration.

• Necromancy effect. Sibud designates a 20-mile radius area which can be at any range, but must be on the same plane. The storm of blood begins as an eerie breeze, and takes 10 minutes to manifest. Thereafter, each round for 20 minutes, all living creatures within the area must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 38) or suffer 1 point of Constitution damage as their tissues burst and their blood is carried away by the wind. Control weather is ineffective against countering the effects of the storm. 1 minute casting time. Cabal (-90; 6 x 8th-level slots).
Messages of the Bhitis (Spellcraft DC 54): [Foresee (+23); quickened (+28), still (+2), silent (+2), questions posed as free actions with no Concentration check (ad hoc +10), guaranteed veracity (ad hoc +20); 6d6 backlash per round (-6), burn 2500 XP (-25)]
• Once per round for 10 rounds, as a free action on his turn, Sibud may pose a question as if using contact other plane. Doing so requires no concentration, and the chthonic deities whom Sibud contacts always respond with 100% veracity. Sibud can use this spell only once every five weeks.

The targeted creature must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 48) or die instantly at the conclusion of the spell, its remains destroyed as if disintegrated; if the save is successful, the target instead suffers 13d6+20 points of damage. Sibud makes his caster level check to overcome a target's SR with a +10 bonus.
Protection from Evil, nondetection and mind blank do not halt the successful targeting of the remote annihilation, nor does death ward prevent it; targets otherwise immune to death effects are unaffected by it. Epic spells developed with the conceal seed, or developed with the ward seed keyed to destroy or slay may be entitled to an opposed caster level. Cabal (-40; 1 x 8th-level, 5 x 3rd-level slots).
50-point build; +5 inherent to all stats. Modified vampire + 3x evolved undead + quasi-deity.

i'm guessing it has the some connotation as ur-priest
IE an ur-human is an apostate human, now the antithesis of what a human is? of course, i remember reading that this nasty is from a previous reality, so it could be similar to a melnibonian, as far as its relation to humanity.

Holy smokes at some of those critters, if Mostin has the ability to gate or summon some of those Pseudonaturals, even if it's the survitor types, armageddon loses all of its christianity attached prefix.
