[QUOTE="Psion, post: 1258074, member: 172"] Charnel Lord/Lady (Prestige Class) In the land of Trinalia, a variety of dark deities have servants skilled in corrupting a living soul and defying death by creating undead servants. A few, however, view necromancy as an end rather than a means. Followers of such powers must master both divine and arcane methods of creating and controlling such creatures. Hit die: D4 Requirements: To qualify to become a Charnel Lady, the character must meet the following requirements: Domains: Must have Charnel or Necromancy as domains. Skills: Knowledge (Arcana) 8 ranks, Knowledge (Religion) 8 ranks. Feats: Spell Focus (Necromancy) Class Abilities: Ability to Rebuke Undead. Spellcasting: Able to cast divine spells of 3nd level of the Charnel or Necromancy domain, and must be able to cast 2nd level arcane spells of the necromancy school. Class Skills: The Charnel Lady’s class skills are Concentration (Con), Craft(Int), Decipher Script (Int), Knowledge (Arcana)(Int), Knowledge (Religion) (Int), Profession (Wis), Scry (Int), Search (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int). Skill points at each level: 2 + int modifier. Class Features: The following are class features of the charnel lord/lady prestige class. Weapon and Armor proficiency: Charnel ladies gain no new weapon or armor proficiencies. Spells per Day: At the indicated levels, the charnel lord/lady gains a level in spellcasting capability as if she had gained a level in her previous arcane and/or divine spellcasting classes. The character does not gain any other class abilities of those classes such as additional turning undead abilities or familiar progression. Rebuke undead (Su): The charnel lord/lady’s class levels stack with those of any prior class for the purposes of rebuking undead. Visage of Undeath (Su): At 2nd level, mindless undead creatures regard the charnel lord/lady as another undead creature, and will not automatically attack her. Necropotence (Ex): Starting at third level, the charnel lord or lady learns to focus arcane and divine might into a single spell. Once per day, the character may cast any spell of the necromancy school as if her caster level was the total of her arcane and divine caster levels. Marshal Undead (Su): At 5th level, the Charnel lord/lady is permanently considered to radiate a desectrate effect at the character’s class level (not caster level). This desecrate effect can be dispelled normally, but the character can spend a rebuke attempt next turn as a standard action to restore it. Necromantic Secrets (Ex): At 7th level, the experience and closeness to her deity gives the charnel lady unprecedented insights into the creation of powerful undead. When creating undead, reduce the material component and XP costs by 25%. Also, at the GM’s option, this ability will allow the character the ability to create even more potent undead. Charnel Pact (Ex): At 10th level, the Charnel Lady may no longer be raised or resurrected. However, if slain, she automatically rises as an undead creature 1d6 nights after slain, unless extraordinary measures are taken to prevent this. The type of creature is up to the DM, though any undead template with a CR modifier of +2 or less may be applied.
