Alter Reality Leira is an embodiment of divine power and reality is hers to alter as she sees fit. This effectively functions as the wish spell that costs her no XP and requires a standard action to implement. In effect, this allows Leira to duplicate any effect as long as it relates to her area of influence. For example, she can duplicate any class skill, ability or spell that relates to deception or illusion. She can create any illusionary effect and give life to any lie ever thought of. She can cloud the senses of the most perceptive guards, summon forth mists and clouds of any type, and call forth creatures of illusion to become reality.
The Guardian of Liars can create temporary, nonmagical objects, magic items or creatures for up to 10 hours, and can also create permanent nonmagical objects. She can also render a magical or supernatural effect permanent and reshape landscapes. The limits to these abilities are fully defined in Deities and Demigods.
Alter Size As a free action, Leira can assume any size from Fine to Colossal. She also can change the size of up to 900 pounds of objects she touches.
Arcane Reach (Su) Leira can use spells with a range of touch on a target up to 90 feet away as a ranged touch attack.
Arcane Shield (Su) As an immediate action, Leira can sacrifice a prepared spell or unused spell slot of 1st level or higher and gain an untyped bonus to AC equal to the level of the spell or spell slot she sacrificed for 9 rounds.
Avatar Leira can have up to five avatars at any given time. Her true appearance is unknown. Most senior clergy members and holy writings say she seldom looks the same way twice, but a recurring figure in accounts of her down the ages is that of a very tall, very thin woman with long smoke-hued hair and robes that exuded mists. Her eyes are said to be black, glistening, and very large – seeming to bore through any mortal and “see all” (or at least make mortals feel that she did). Leira is always a dangerous deity to cross, but her deceptions are essentially capricious, not works of malice or deliberate attempts to conceal evil. She likes to tantalize, appearing to mortals as beings who attracted them, and because of this often appears as a comely, beckoning female or heroic-looking, handsome male. Leira seems to prefer a feminine appearance whenever convenient for her purposes.
Caster Level Increase (Ex) Leira adds +2 to her caster level when casting illusion spells.
Cloak of Shadow (Su) Leira can cloak her form in shifting shadows. While her cloak of shadow is active, attacks against her have a 40% miss chance. Darkvision and low-light vision offer no help in piercing the cloak of shadow, although any creature that can see in magical darkness can ignore the miss chance, as can a creature with true seeing. Leira can dismiss or resume this effect as a free action. While her cloak of shadow is active, she can make Hide checks as if she had concealment. Cloak of shadow doesn’t function in daylight, and it is the equivalent of a 3^rd level darkness effect for the purpose of interacting with light spells.
Divine Blast Leira can create a ray of divine power that extends for up to 9 miles, dealing up to 30d12 points of damage, as a ranged touch attack with no saving throw. Leira can unleash a divine blast 24 times per day, and alter the visual, auditory and sensation-based qualities of her divine blast as she desires. Leira’s divine blasts generally appear as near-invisible lances of mist.
Divine Shield As a free action 20 times per day, Leira can create a shield that lasts 10 minutes and stops 90 points of damage from attacks. Once the shield stops that much damage, it collapses. Any damage Leira is naturally immune to does not count towards the shield’s limits.
Enhanced Shadow Conjurations (Su) Leira’s shadow conjurations have intensified in strength by 20%. Hence, shadow conjuration is 40% as strong as the real thing, and greater shadow conjuration is 80% as strong.
Enhanced Shadow Evocations (Su) Leira’s evocations have intensified in strength by 20%. Hence, shadow evocation is 40% as strong as the real thing, and greater shadow evocation is 80% as strong.
Extended Illusion (Ex) The duration of any illusion spell Leira casts or any spell-like ability from the illusion school that she uses is doubled, as if the Extend Spell feat had been applied to it. The levels and casting times of these spells and spell-like abilities don’t change, however. This ability stacks with the effect of the Extend Spell feat, which still changes the spell’s effective level.
Major School Esoterica (Ex) Leira’s knowledge of her chosen school has reached its peak. She can cast any illusion spell as a stilled and silent spell and eschew the materials (per the Still Spell, Silent Spell, and Eschew Materials feats) without an increase in caster level or casting time, three times per day.
Mastery of Counterspelling When Leira counterspells a spell, it is turned back upon the caster as if it were fully affected by a spell turning spell. If the spell cannot be affected by spell turning, it is still turned back upon the caster.
Mastery of Elements Leira can alter an arcane spell when cast so that it utilizes a different element from the one it normally uses. This ability can alter a spell with the acid, cold, fire, electricity, force or sonic descriptors as well as spells that deal negative or positive energy damage. The spell’s casting time is unaffected. She decides whether to alter the spell’s energy type and chooses the new energy type when she begins casting.
Mastery of Shaping Leira can alter area and effect spells of any shape. The minimum dimension for these spaces is a 5-foot cube. Furthermore, any shapeable spells have a minimum dimension of 5 feet instead of 10 feet.
Minor School Esoterica (Ex) Leira’s unflagging focus on her chosen school has opened her mind to new possibilities. The save DCs of her illusion spells that have a saving throw entry of “Will disbelief” increase by 2.
Mistress of Illusion (unique salient divine ability) Leira specifically governs a portion of Mystra’s Weave – that of the school of illusion. In her role as both guardian of the Weave and patron of arcane practitioners, she treats any spell not on the sorcerewizard spell list as arcane spells which she adds to her spell list. She can cast any illusion spell from any spell list, even those with alignment or feat prerequisites, without restriction as an arcane spell.
Leira is particularly skilled at the manipulation of mist and shadow in her illusions; her shadow spells benefit from a further +40% to their total effectiveness, which stacks with her existing bonuses. Her illusion spells ignore all forms of immunity to illusion spells and their effects.
Leira’s command of the school of illusion has additionally granted her a +19 bonus to any skill check involving casting, creating, developing and researching epic spells or using epic spell seeds from that school of magic. She halves the development time, resource cost and experience cost for casting epic illusion spells, and always takes only the minimal amount of backlash damage. In addition, in her role as the overseer of practitioners of illusion among Faerun’s deities of magic, Leira uses her character level to determine her effective illusionist class features and has 10 virtual bonus feats.
Leira adds her divine rank (9) as a bonus to her Illusion caster level and uses the totality of her divine rank for the bonus granted by Divine Spell Focus. The Lady of Mists has the benefits of focused specialization (granting her an extra illusion spell slot for every spell level she can cast) and does not have forbidden schools of magic.
Finally, once every round, Leira can draw power from the Weave to cast any illusion spell from any spell list at her caster level. She may do so even if her daily allotment of spells has been expended and she can modify her spells with metamagic feats up to the maximum spell level she can cast, although she is still limited to the maximum number of spells per round she can cast when applying Quicken Spell to any spell she casts in this manner.
Mistshadow (unique salient divine ability) Leira has learned how to blend her mastery of illusion with the mists she commands, and she is wreathed in an aura of deception and mystique that extends to a 450 ft. radius around her. All creatures within the area must succeed at a Will save (DC 67) or lose any form of immunity to illusionary spells and effects until they leave the radius of the effect. Creatures naturally immune to illusion spells gain a +4 bonus to the saving throw.
More impressively, the Lady of Illusion has learned to manipulate mists and illusion in such a manner that she can shift into any form she desires; for all intents and purposes, this functions as the shapechange spell with a 55 Hit Dice limit. She gains all the extraordinary, supernatural and spell-like abilities of the new form (with the exception of any innate spellcasting levels, such as a solar’s clerical spellcasting) in addition to her own innate abilities and spellcasting. Mistshadow is treated as a 10^th level shadow effect created by Leira and benefits from her bonus shadow effectiveness, increasing the damage done by its attacks, extraordinary and supernatural abilities by 170%.
However, any creature attacked by Leira as the Mistshadow is entitled to a Will save (DC 67) to disbelieve the effect. If successful, the creature takes no damage from that particular form’s attacks and abilities for the next 24 hours.
Moderate School Esoterica (Ex) Leira’s long study of her chosen school has lead to a breakthrough. Whenever she casts an Illusion spell, she gains concealment for one round per spell level.
No Delusions (Ex) Leira has such complete mastery of illusion spells that she no longer needs to interact with them to merit a saving throw. If she can see or otherwise witness the illusory effect, she can attempt a save.
Powerful Shadow Magic (Su) The strength of the effects created by Leira’s shadow conjuration, shadow evocation, greater shadow conjuration, greater shadow evocation, and shades spells increases by 20%. That is, these spells are an additional 20% likely to affect disbelieving creatures and deal 20% more damage.
This bonus also applies to figment spells transformed into shadow spells via the shadow illusion power (see below).
Resistance to Illusions (Ex) Leira has a +2 bonus on saving throws against all illusion spells and effects.
School Mastery (Illusion) Whenever Leira casts an illusion (shadow) spell that creates a partially real effect (such as shadow conjuration or shadow evocation), the effect is 10% more real than normal. She has traded away her ability to summon her familiar for this benefit.
Shadow Illusion (Su) Leira is able to infuse some of her figments (see the list below) with material from the Plane of Shadow, making them partially real. The subschool of these spells changes from figment to shadow. She can use the altered spell to mimic any sorcerer or wizard conjuration (summoning), conjuration (creation), or evocation spell at least one level lower than the illusion spell. The altered spell functions identically to the shadow conjuration or shadow evocation spell, except that the spell’s strength equals 10% per level of the figment spell used.
For example, when she uses silent image to create an acid splash, it would deal 10% of the normal damage to a creature that succeeds on its Will save to disbelieve the shadow. If she uses programmed image to mimic summon monster V, the creature would have 60% of the hit points of a normal creature of its kind, and its damage would be 60% normal against a creature that succeeds on its Will save to disbelieve.
Leira can apply shadow illusion to any of the following figment spells: silent image, minor image, major image, persistent image, and programmed image.
Shadow Mien (Su) Leira has a +2 bonus on Disguise and Hide checks.
Shadow Self (Ex) Leira has so attuned herself to shadows and illusions that she actually becomes a magical creature. She is forevermore a native outsider. Additionally, she gains damage reduction 10/magic. This ability is superseded by her innate divinity.
Shadow Spell Penetration (Ex) Leira has a +4 bonus on caster level checks for all of her illusion (shadow) spells.
Silent Illusion (Ex) All spells from the illusion school that Leira casts no longer require a verbal component, as if the Silent Spell feat had been applied to them. If she casts illusion spells that can’t be affected by the Silent Spell feat, this ability has no effect on those spells.
Possessions Leira wears the robe of mists, an elegant smoky-gray robe that constantly exudes mists around her in a 40 ft. radius. The robe bestows a +10 shield bonus to armor class and a +10 resistance bonus to saving throws that similarly stacks with any other resistance bonus. In addition, the robes grant Leira a +5 bonus to her arcane caster level and Illusion spell DC. The mists surrounding the robe are thick and cloying, reducing all physical damage she takes by one-half and additionally granting Leira the benefits of total concealment that also blocks darkvision and low-light vision.
The Lady of Mists seldom carries weapons, though she sometimes employs the blade of mists, a +5 defending and shadowstrike dagger of morphing with the powers of a greater staff of shadows. It ignores bonuses to AC provided by deflection and force effects, deals 2 points of Strength damage on a confirmed critical hit and causes creatures struck by it to suffer a -4 penalty to saving throws against Illusion spells. The weapon’s charges renew every dusk.
Other Divine Powers As a lesser power, Leira may take 10 on any check. Leira treats a 1 on an attack roll or saving throw normally and not as an automatic failure. She is immortal. Senses Leira can see (using normal vision or darkvision), hear, touch, and smell at a distance of nine miles. As a standard action, she can perceive anything within nine miles of her worshippers, holy sites, objects, or any location where one of her titles or name was spoken in the last hour. She can extend her senses to up to five locations at once. She can block the sensing power of deities of her rank or lower at up to two remote locations at once for nine hours. Portfolio Sense Leira senses any lie, act of deception or illusion as long as the event in question affects at least five hundred people. She is similarly aware of any illusion spell acting on such a scale. Automatic Actions Leira can use any skill associated with her portfolio as a free action whether or not she has ranks in it, as long as the DC for the task is 20 or lower, or 29 or lower for Bluff, Disguise and Spellcraft. Leira cannot do anything as a free action if the task would be a move action or part of a move action. She can perform up to five such free actions each round. Create Magic Items Leira can create any kind of magic item that affects or involves deception or illusion as long as the item’s market price does not exceed 30,000 gp.
NEW FEATS
ARCANE FOCUS [GENERAL] [Dragon #351] Through concentration and preparation your mind can hold special magical energy. Prerequisite: Ability to cast 1st-level arcane spells. Benefit: As long as you have at least one arcane spell slot available (either a prepared arcane spell or the ability to cast an arcane spell spontaneously), you may make a DC 20 Concentration check to gain arcane focus. This use of Concentration requires a full-round action that provokes an attack of opportunity. Once you acquire arcane focus, you remain focused until you expend it, become unconscious, fall asleep, or cast all available arcane spells. When you have arcane focus, you may expend your focus as a swift action on any single Concentration check you make thereafter. If you expend your focus for this purpose, treat your Concentration check as if you rolled a 15 (similar to taking 10). You may expend your arcane focus in this way even if you could not normally take 10 on a skill check, such as during combat. You may instead expend your arcane focus to activate an arcane feat you possess and gain one of the benefits of that feat. Special: A wizard may select Arcane Focus as a wizard bonus feat.
ENHANCED SHADOW REALITY [GENERAL] [DRAGON #325] Your shadow-based spells are more real. Prerequisite: Spell Focus (illusion), illusionist level 1st. Benefit: Your illusion (shadow) spells deal one-fifth (20%) more real damage if disbelieved. For example, a creature summoned with a shadow conjuration spell deals two-fifths (40%) of the damage a real creature of the same kind would deal if the target of the spell disbelieves it, instead of only one-fifth (20%).
FOCUSED SPECIALIST [ARCANE] [Dragon #351] Your intense concentration allows you to enhance a spell you cast from your school of specialization. Prerequisite: Arcane Focus, specialist wizard level 1st. Benefit: When you expend your arcane focus, you may select one of the following three benefits. Spell Boost: The next spell you cast from the school you specialize in in the next round is cast at your spellcaster level +1. Spell Endowment: The next spell you cast from the school you specialize in in the next round has its saving throw DC increased by +1. This bonus stacks with those from the Spell Focus and Improved Spell Focus feats. Spell Intensity: The next spell you cast from the school you specialize in in the next round gains a +2 bonus on any level check made to overcome spell resistance. Special: A wizard may select Focused Specialist as a wizard bonus feat.
IRRESISTIBLE SPELL [Kingdoms of Kalamar Player’s Handbook/Player’s Guide to the Sovereign Lands (3.5e update)] Nobody can resist your spells. Prerequisite: Spellcaster level 7^th, Fortify Spell/Envelope the Wall, Maximize Spell. Benefit: Spells you cast that normally allow a saving throw add +10 to the DC. An irresistible spell uses up a spell slot four levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

(“LIFT” or the “Company“) (CSE: LIFT) (OTCQX: LIFFF) (Frankfurt: WS0) is a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of lithium pegmatite projects located in Canada. Pegmatite is a coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock formed from crystallized magma below the Earth’s crust. Pegmatite lithium deposits, also known as hard-rock lithium deposits, can contain extractable amounts of several elements, including lithium, tin, tantalum, and niobium. Corporate Presentation Today, we’ll look at the Company’s flagship project, the Yellowknife Lithium Project, located in the Northwest Territories.

Accelerated Firing (Ex) Valkur can urge his weapons crews to exceed ordinary performance. A ballista or catapult can be reloaded or re-aimed in a round by one less crew member than normal. If the weapon is fully crewed, it can be reloaded or reaimed as a standard action instead of a full-round action. In addition, his crews gain a +2 morale bonus on Profession (siege engineer) checks.
Acrobatic Charge (Ex) Valkur can charge in situations where others cannot. He may charge over difficult terrain that normally slows movement or allies blocking his path. This ability enables him to run down steep stairs, leap down from a balcony, or to tumble over tables to get to his target. Depending on the circumstance, he may still need to make appropriate checks (Jump or Tumble checks, in particular) to successfully move over the terrain.
Acrobatic Skill Mastery (Ex) Valkur is so certain in the use of his acrobatic skills that he can use them reliably even under adverse conditions. When making a Jump or Tumble check, he may take 10 even if stress and distractions would normally prevent him from doing so.
Alter Reality Valkur is an embodiment of divine power and reality is his to alter as he sees fit. This effectively functions as the wish spell that costs him no XP and requires a standard action to implement. In effect, this allows Valkur to duplicate any effect as long as it relates to his area of influence. For example, he can duplicate any class skill, ability or spell that relates to favorable winds, naval combat and sailing. He can create any water-based effect, initiate awe-inspiring feats of derring-do and summon celestial aquatic creatures to aid him. He can shield sailors from lightning and water and grant them aquatic prowess, and draw forth sunken ships from beneath the seas and quell the harshest storms.
The Mighty can create temporary, nonmagical objects, magic items or creatures for up to 4 hours, and can also create permanent nonmagical objects. He can also render a magical or supernatural effect permanent and reshape landscapes. The limits to these abilities are fully defined in Deities and Demigods.
Alter Size As a free action, Valkur can assume any size from Fine to Colossal. He also can change the size of up to 500 pounds of objects he touches.
Avatar Valkur can have up to two avatars at any given time. The Mighty’s avatar appears as a giant of a man of broad girth with a full black beard. He wears the garb of a fantastic ship’s captain – a full blue frock coat decorated with gold braid trim and brass buttons over a colorful brocade vest and white shirt with a ruffled collar and cuffs, knee-length trousers, hose, shoes with silver buckles, and a blue tricone hat trimmed in gold braid and featuring a large white plume. Though he might be pummeled by a thousand storms, he always looks dapper and his brown eyes sparkle with derring-do.
Back-to-Back (Ex) Valkur is trained in fighting alongside his shipmates in cramped and crowded conditions, especially against superior numbers. Whenever he is adjacent to an ally and using the fighting defensively or total defense combat options or the Combat Expertise feat, he gains a +5 dodge bonus to his AC. He loses this bonus if he is denied his Dexterity bonus to AC or if he or his ally moves more than 5 ft. away.
Captain of the Waves (unique salient divine ability) Valkur is the Captain of the Seas, and even the winds and waves obey his command. As a standard action, he can create or quell winds and storms within a 1-mile radius to produce anything from still air to tornado force winds and thunderstorms. These effects are under Valkur’s absolute control unless countered by a higher-ranking deity, and he can choose to shape these effects in any way he desires, whether to spare certain places or only affect certain vessels.
In addition, by chopping his hand on a surface of water, Valkur can raise and quell tidal waves, whirlpools and maelstroms of similar dimensions within a 1-mile radius under his absolute control. He can seize control of any effect that control or manipulates water with a duration greater than instantaneous within 1-mile of him and shape them as he wills. Valkur additionally can walk on water and breathe underwater freely with no impediment. He has a swim speed equal to his land speed.
Finally, Valkur commands unmatched nautical prowess and martial skill. He applies his weapon-based feats and salient divine abilities to cutlasses, harpoons and tridents. Any vessel he stands on will never sink or flounder, no matter the weather conditions. Valkur and any vessel he stands on can never be harmed by elemental creatures of any type with the water subtype, and he can confer these benefits to anyone he touches. He increases the Armor class and seaworthiness of any vessel he boards by +5 and reduces the shiphandling modifier by -5. The speed, hardness and hit points of any vessel he boards gains a base multiplier of x5 and he adds his divine rank (5) to the base ram damage dice of his ships.
Dirty Strike (Ex) Valkur is adept at maneuvers such as hitting below the belt, head butts, sucker punches, and other opportunistic tricks. He may choose to make a single melee attack on his turn as a full round action that deals an additional +5d4 points of damage. This ability has no effect on creatures without a discernable anatomy or that are immune to critical hits, such as constructs, oozes, plants, or undead. Additional damage from a dirty strike is not multiplied if he scores a successful critical hit.
Divine Blast Valkur can create a ray of divine power that extends for up to 5 miles, dealing up to 23d12 points of damage, as a ranged touch attack with no saving throw. Valkur can unleash a divine blast 21 times per day, and alter the visual, auditory and sensation-based qualities of his divine blast as he desires. Valkur’s divine blasts generally take the form of booming blasts of cannon fire.
Divine Shield As a free action 21 times per day, Valkur can create a shield that lasts 10 minutes and stops 50 points of damage from attacks. Once the shield stops that much damage, it collapses. Any damage Valkur is naturally immune to does not count towards the shield’s limits.
Dodge Bonus (Ex) Valkur is trained at focusing his defenses on a single opponent in melee. During his action, he may designate an opponent and receive a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against melee attacks from that opponent. He loses this bonus when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load. He need not designate the same target for this ability as for the Dodge feat. (If he designates the same target, the bonuses stack.)
Fleet Admiral (Ex) Valkur’s phenomenal leadership skills allow him to assist the crews of allies’ ships as well as his own. He can use the aid another action to confer a +2 morale bonus on checks made by the crews of a 18 additional ships) within signaling distance (1 mile in clear conditions). He grants a +4 morale bonus on allied captains’ Profession (sailor) checks to gain the advantage in combat, and they gain the same benefits he confers. In addition, when aiding the actions of his own crew, he confers a +4 bonus instead of +2 on a successful check.
Grace (Ex) Valkur has a +3 competence bonus on Reflex saves.
Improved Flanking (Ex) Valkur gains a +4 bonus on attacks instead of a +2 bonus on attacks when flanking an opponent.
Insightful Strike (Ex) Valkur is able to place his finesse attacks where they deal greater damage. He applies his Intelligence bonus (+18) as a bonus on damage rolls with any light weapon, as well as any other weapon that can be used with Weapon Finesse, such as a rapier, whip, or spiked chain. Targets immune to sneak attacks or critical hits are immune to his insightful strike. He cannot use this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.
Leadership Valkur has a +10 bonus to his effective character level for purposes of the Leadership feat to attract followers.
Legendary Helm (Ex) Valkur grants an additional +2 dodge bonus to the Armor Class of any vessel he steers or command. In addition, he can attempt saving throws using his save bonuses against spells or effects targeting his vessel. For example, if a dragon uses its breath weapon against a ship Valkur is steering or commanding, he can make a Reflex save on behalf of the ship to halve the damage. (Normally, vessels are considered unattended objects and fail all saving throws.)
Luck of the Wind (Su) Valkur is able to cheat fate on occasion. Twice per day he can reroll a failed attack roll, saving throw, skill check, or ability check.
Lucky (Ex) Once per day, Valkur may reroll any failed attack roll, skill check, ability check, or saving throw. He must take the result of the reroll, even if it’s worse than the original roll.
Misdirect (Ex) Valkur can trick an enemy captain into underestimating the capabilities of his ship and crew. This includes disguising his vessel, lurking at the edge of fog, holding off on firing his weapons, and other such stratagems. The enemy captain must have line of sight to Valkur’s vessel, and he must make a Bluff or Profession (sailor) check, whichever modifier is higher, with a +5 bonus. This is opposed by the Sense Motive check of the enemy captain. If his check succeeds, the enemy captain and crew take a —2 penalty on attacks, saves, and skill checks for the length of the engagement, and the enemy vessel takes a —2 penalty to Armor Class.
Rake (Ex) Valkur has increased his ability to handle a ship and maintain an advantage in naval combat. As long as he has the advantage, attacks against enemy vessels with his shipboard siege engines deal an additional die of damage on a successful attack. This die is of the same kind as the weapon normally deals: For example, a light catapult (normal damage 4d6) deals an extra 1d6 points of damage, while a ballista (normal damage 3d8) deals an extra 1d8 points.
Sailor Lore (Ex) Valkur has picked up a lot of knowledge by listening to local gossip in various ports of call or from the sea stories of shipmates. He may make a special sailor lore check with a +38 bonus to see whether he knows some relevant information about local people or history, faraway places, or strange superstitions. This check will not necessarily reveal true information, as much of the time he heard it from someone who heard it from a friend, who heard it from a guy, etc. He may not take 10 or 20 on this check; this sort of knowledge is essentially random.
Seamanship (Ex) Valkur has a +5 competence bonus to all Balance, Climb, and Profession (sailor) checks.
Slippery Mind (Ex) Valkur’s mind is more difficult to control. If he fails his save against an enchantment spell or effect, he can attempt the save again 1 round later at the same DC. He gets only this one extra chance to succeed at a certain saving throw.
Splice the Main Brace (Su) Valkur can hearten his crew with his personal strength. (“Splice the main brace” is nautical jargon for hoisting a mug of grog, originally at the end of a hard day’s work.) Once per day he can produce a mass cure light wounds effect to heal the injuries of all on board at caster level 10^th. It requires 10 minutes for the healing effect to take place, so it is not usable in the midst of combat.
Steady Stance (Ex) Valkur’s sea legs keep him stable when others have difficulty standing. He are not considered flat-footed while balancing or climbing, and he adds his class level (+10) to Balance or Climb checks to remain balancing or climbing when taking damage.
Uncanny Navigation (Su) Valkur has developed an innate sense for detecting and avoiding maritime hazards. He adds his legendary captain level as a bonus on Spot checks to notice aquatic hazards and on Profession (sailor) checks to navigate safely through them.
Weakening Critical (Ex) Valkur also deals 2 points of Strength damage to a creature when he scores a critical hit. Creatures immune to critical hits are immune to this effect.
Weather Gauge (Ex) Valkur’s superior ability in handling a ship allows him to maneuver so as to have the more advantageous wind. He gains a +4 competence bonus on Profession (sailor) checks to gain the advantage. As long as he has the advantage, his crew gains a +2 bonus on all Profession (sailor) checks and on attack rolls made with shipboard siege engines, and his ship gains a +2 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks by enemy ships.
Wind at Your Back (Ex) Valkur can use his mastery of navigation to coax additional speed from his ship by directing the most efficient placement of sails or encouraging rowers to exert themselves. A ship he captains moves 20% faster (minimum of +5 feet).
Wounding Critical (Ex) Valkur also deals 2 points of Constitution damage to a creature when he scores a critical hit. (This damage is in addition to the Strength damage dealt by the swashbuckler’s weakening critical class feature.) Creatures immune to critical hits are immune to this effect.
Possessions Valkur carries the Captain’s Cutlass, a +6 icy blast, keen and lightning blast cutlass of holy power and speed that can duplicate the effects of any arcane or divine spell with the water descriptor (CL 50^th; save DC 46 plus spell level). It also allows him to smite evil aquatic creatures six times per day (+18 atk, +50 dmg).
At Valkur’s command, the captain’s cutlass can also transform into a harpoon or trident with a range increment of 500 ft. In either form, it functions as a +6 distant shot weapon of unerring accuracy with all the cutlass’s powers. As a ranged weapon, the captain’s cutlass can harpoon a creature (Ref DC 21 plus damage dealt) and the wielder automatically succeeds on all Strength checks. The wielder cannot be knocked over or unbalanced as long as he has harpooned a creature and Valkur often uses the weapon to tow ships or sea monsters.
Valkur also wears the admiral’s greatcoat, which grants him a +8 sacred bonus to armor class and saving throws. This vestment also renders Valkur immune to all harmful spells with the water descriptor. His bicorne is a double-strength admiral’s bicorne.
Other Divine Powers As a demipower, Valkur treats a 1 on an attack roll or saving throw normally and not as an automatic failure. He is immortal and cannot die from natural causes. Senses Valkur can hear, touch, and smell at a distance of five miles. As a standard action, he can perceive anything within five miles of his worshipers, holy sites, objects, or any location where one of his titles or name was spoken in the last hour. He can extend his senses to up to two locations at once. He can block the sensing power of deities of his rank or lower at up to two remote locations at once for up to five hours. Portfolio Sense Valkur is aware of any act of naval combat as long as the event affects at least one thousand people. He is similarly aware of any event pertaining to sailing, ships and sailors as long as the event is of similar scale. Automatic Actions Valkur can use any skill related to his portfolio as a free action if the DC for the task is 15 or lower, or Profession (sailor) if the DC is 20 or lower. He can perform up to five such free actions each round. Create Magic Items Valkur can create any type of magic item related to naval combat or travel as long as the item’s market price does not exceed 4,500 gp.

2024.09.22 18:04 LordofBones89 Revised Deities (3.5e): Beshaba, Lady Doom

I will shamelessly admit that I stole so many things wholesale from Pathfinder’s Witch and Dreamscarred Press’s Malefex. Curse and ooga-booga bad juju builds just don’t have that many things going for them in 3.5.

Absorb Fear (Su) Beshaba can turn her own fear, whether natural or mystical in origin, into extra power for her spells. Any time she is exposed to a condition that could make her shaken, all her spells function at +1 caster level; if the condition could make her frightened, they function at +2 caster level; if panicked, they function at +3 caster level. These bonuses last for the duration of the fear effect, or 21 rounds, whichever is less. These bonuses are treated in all ways as though she had failed the save. In other words, if she is subject to a spell that causes panic on a failed save but only frightens those who make the save, she gains the bonus from being panicked even if she makes the save.
Beshaba can, instead of gaining these bonuses, choose to cast a single extra spell; this casting does not use up a spell slot. She must make this choice the instant she is subject to the fear effect, and once she has made her choice, she must cast the spell within 21 rounds. She can cast an additional cantrip if shaken, an additional 1st-level spell if frightened, or an additional 2nd level spell if panicked.
If she is subject to a second fear effect while still enjoying the effects of the first—either the granted benefits or holding the extra spell—she must decide whether to keep the original effect or replace it with the new one; Beshaba cannot benefit from more than one fear effect at a time.
Alter Reality Beshaba is an embodiment of divine power and reality is hers to alter as she sees fit. This effectively functions as the wish spell that costs her no XP and requires a standard action to implement. In effect, this allows Beshaba to duplicate any effect as long as it relates to her area of influence. For example, she can duplicate any class skill, ability or spell that relates to luck and misfortune. She can create curses, cause calamities and manipulate the lives and fates of mortals to fail at a critical juncture. She can turn surges of fortune into catastrophes and bring to life nightmares from the darkest dreams.
The Maiden of Misfortune can create temporary, nonmagical objects, magic items or creatures for up to 13 hours, and can also create permanent nonmagical objects. She can also render a magical or supernatural effect permanent and reshape landscapes. The limits to these abilities are fully defined in Deities and Demigods.
Alter Size As a free action, Beshaba can assume any size from Fine to Colossal. She also can change the size of up to 1,300 pounds of objects she touches.
Arcane Resistance (Su) Beshaba gains a bonus equal to her Charisma bonus (+21) on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects.
Armored Mage (Ex) Beshaba avoids arcane spell failure for her spells so long as she wears light armor, medium armor, bucklers or light shields.
Aura of Unluck (Su) Three times per day, Beshaba can create a baleful aura of misfortune. Any melee or ranged attack made against her while this aura of unluck is active has a 20% miss chance (similar to the effect of concealment). Activating the aura is a free action, and the aura lasts for 24 rounds.
Avatar Beshaba can have up to ten avatars at any given time. Beshaba rarely walks Faerûn in avatar form, but when she does appear, it is as an impossibly tall and thin, yet voluptuously graceful woman whose long, flowing, unbound hair is snow-white and whose face bears the loveliness of lost Tyche—yet her eyes, yellow and red-rimmed, blaze with madness, and her skin shifts slowly and continuously in hue from dead white to mauve and back again.
Bonus Spells (Ex) Beshaba has one extra spell slot per spell level, which can be used only to cast an illusion spell.
Dark Companion Beshaba can create a panther-like companion that shares her speed and it acts during her turn each round, spun from the darkness of the night. Any enemy adjacent to her dark companion takes a -2 penalty on its saves and to its AC. It follows her mental commands perfectly – in effect, it is merely an extension of her will. Beshaba has traded her familiar away for this ability.
The dark companion has no real substance, and thus can’t attack or otherwise affect creatures or objects. It occupies a 5-foot space. Even though any creature can enter a dark companion’s 5-foot space without restriction, it must occupy its own space in order to have any effect on enemies. It is immune to any damage or other effects that might harm creatures, though it can be dispelled or suppressed just like a spell effect. It is treated as a 5^th level spell and automatically reforms at the goddess’s side 24 hours later if dispelled.
A dark companion can’t create flanking situations, nor does it provoke attacks of opportunity from movement, because enemies automatically recognize it as an illusion. If it is more than 120 feet from Beshaba at the start of her turn, or if she ever loses line of effect to it, it instantly reappears adjacent to her.
Deadly Nightmare (Su) Three times per day, Beshaba can create a mind-affecting fear death effect that can make a living creature literally drop dead. She can target one living creature within 30 feet of her, which must succeed on a Will save (DC 38) or literally die of fright. Even if the save succeeds, the subject is panicked for 1 round. Any creature who exceeds 120 Hit Dice is unaffected by this power.
Delay Fear (Su) Beshaba can choose to delay the onset of any fear effect she imposes on someone else, such as by casting a cause fear spell. She can delay the onset up to 21 minutes. She must determine the onset time when casting the spell, and she cannot later change your mind.
Similarly, twice per day, she can delay fear effects affecting her. If she fails her save against a fear effect, she can delay its onset for 21 rounds. She still gains the advantages granted by the absorb fear class feature, even though she is delaying the negative effects.
Deny Fate (Ex) Beshaba has a better chance of beating the odds should she ever be rendered unconscious and dying. Once per day, on the first occasion when she must make a check to become stable when dying, the check automatically succeeds. Other such checks called for later in the same 24-hour period are made normally.
Dire Hexblade’s Curse (Su) Beshaba can unleash a curse upon a foe as a swift action at will. The target must be visible and within 60 feet. Her target takes a -7 penalty on attacks, saves, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls for 13 days thereafter. A successful Will save (DC 74) halves the effect. Any effect that removes or dispels a curse eliminates the effect of this curse.
Divine Blast Beshaba can create a ray of divine power that extends for up to 13 miles, dealing up to 34d12 points of damage, as a ranged touch attack with no saving throw. Beshaba can unleash a divine blast 24 times per day, and alter the visual, auditory and sensation-based qualities of her divine blast as she desires. Beshaba’s divine blasts generally take the form of shadowy bolts tinged red or yellow accompanied by faint, far-off laughter.
Divine Shield As a free action 22 times per day, Beshaba can create a shield that lasts 10 minutes and stops 130 points of damage from attacks. Once the shield stops that much damage, it collapses. Any damage Beshaba is naturally immune to does not count towards the shield’s limits.
Evil Eye (unique salient divine ability) Beshaba’s eyes, yellow and red-rimmed, blaze with madness. Beings that meet her gaze, regardless of distance, take a –6 luck penalty on one of the following (her choice): AC, ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, or skill checks for up to 60 rounds.
More insidiously, however, is how the Evil Eye renders its victims vulnerable to Beshaba’s mental manipulations. Whenever she desires, she can force any creature under the effect of Evil Eye to succeed at a Will save (DC 74). If the victim is male and fails its saving throw, it is charmed (as charm monster). If she targets a female victim, however, then the creature is driven into an indiscriminate rage and attacks the closest friend or foe as though affected by a rage spell. In lieu of either effect, Beshaba can also choose to drive her victims to permanent insanity (as insanity).
A successful saving throw renders the victim immune to the effects of Evil Eye for 24 hours.
Fearful Empowerment (Su) Twice per day, Beshaba can add the fear descriptor to any spell she casts that has some sort of visual manifestation. Creatures targeted by a spell modified by fearful empowerment must make a Will save (DC 38) or become shaken for 1d4 rounds; this is in addition to any other effects the spell might have.
Fickle Finger of Fate (Ex) Beshaba can affect the luck of others. Once per day, she may reroll one roll that another creature — friend or enemy — has just made. That creature must take the reroll, even if it is worse than the original roll. Fickle finger of fate takes place outside the normal initiative order, but Beshaba cannot use it if she is caught flat-footed. She must be able to see the recipient to use this ability.
Greater Master of Terror (Ex) The increased difficulty of all save DCs against all spells Beshaba casts with the fear descriptor increases from +1 to +2. In addition, her fear spells are now so potent that they can even affect individuals normally immune to fear, such as paladins, although the subject still gains a saving throw to resist the spell’s effect. Only a target of 51 Hit Dice or more is immune to her mastery of terror.
Horrific Aura (Su) Beshaba radiates an aura of terror. Creatures with 6 or fewer HD must succeed in a Will save (DC 36) or remain shaken as long as they are within 10 feet of her. A creature who successfully saves is immune to her horrific aura for 24 hours. Creatures of greater than 6 HD are unaffected.
21 times per day, Black Bess can channel this aura into a potent touch attack. Creatures struck by this horrific touch attack who fail their Will save (DC 36) are panicked for 1d4+1 rounds; creatures who succeed on their save are shaken for 1 round. This touch attack, unlike the standard aura, functions against creatures of any HD and can even affect individuals normally immune to fear.
Inspire Fear (Su) As a standard action 24 times per day, Beshaba can create a mind-affecting fear effect that makes a living creature within 30 feet ill at ease. The target becomes shaken for 5 rounds; a successful Will save (DC 36) halves this duration. Multiple uses of this ability on the same creature don’t stack.
Luck Infusion (Ex) Beshaba’s understanding of the intricacies of fate is so strong that she can twist luck and fate to give her certain abilities. Each morning while preparing spells, she chooses one of the following abilities, which lasts 24 hours, or until she next prepares spells:
· +1 luck bonus on melee attack rolls · +1 luck bonus on ranged attack rolls · +4 luck bonus on initiative · +2 luck bonus on Fortitude save · +2 luck bonus on Reflex save · +2 luck bonus on Will save · +2 luck bonus on save DCs of spells · +2 luck bonus to AC · +2 luck bonus on skill checks
Luck of the Gods (Ex) Beshaba can automatically succeed at one saving throw per day, regardless of the associated difficulty class. The automatic success must be declared before the given save is rolled, obviating the need to roll any save at all.
Lucky Blow (Ex) Once per day as a free action, Beshaba may call upon her connection to the forces of luck to grant herself one extraordinarily lucky attack roll. The decision must be made before the die is rolled. The attack gains +30 luck bonus.
Maleficarum (unique salient divine ability) Beshaba is the patroness of warlocks and witches and her power is expressed through curses and hexes. These maledictions are usable 13 times per day, target up to 13 creatures per day within long range or within her line of sight and require her to be able to verbalize her curse. Unless specifically mentioned, Lady Doom’s curses last indefinitely as long as she is able to perceive her victims, and a victim that is able to evade her attention for up to 13 days from the initial onset of her curse is then free of it unless Beshaba curses him again. Each curse requires a Will save (DC 74) to negate the effect unless specified otherwise and Beshaba can lift these curses at any time she desires.
Befouled Fortune: Beshaba can warp a victim’s luck, preventing it from benefiting luck bonuses or effects that grant it the ability to roll multiple times and take the higher result. The victim also can’t choose a die result, such as taking 10 or 20 in lieu of rolling.
Cursed Treasure: Beshaba can touch a piece of treasure or container filled with treasure and place a terrible curse upon it, choosing from any option available with bestow curse, greater bestow curse or souls’ treasure lost. The next creature (except for those Beshaba wishes to spare) to take the treasure or remove items from the container is affected by the curse, unless it succeeds at a Will save.
Exile: Beshaba can curse a creature and make it inimical to both animals and creatures of its kind. All animals and beings of the same race as the victim have an initial attitude of hostile toward the target. Familiars, being magical beasts, are not affected by this spell, but animal companions are. The target also takes a –10 penalty on Survival skill checks as the weather and environment themselves seem to conspire to cause trouble.
Fire, Water, Earth, Air: Upon invoking this curse, Beshaba must choose an energy type (acid, cold, electricity, fire, negative energy, positive energy, or sonic). If her target fails their save, they become vulnerable (+50% damage) to the chosen energy type. In addition, they lose all energy resistance they possess, and their energy immunities (from any source) are downgraded to resistance 30 against that energy type.
Out to Get Me: Beshaba can ravage her victim with paranoia and suspicion. Her target does not count as an ally to any creature for the purposes of flanking and targeting abilities, as well as determining the effects of abilities with an area of effect (no save). In addition, if the victim fails their save they may not waive their saving throws against other effects (this means, amongst other things, that they always roll a saving throw against harmless effects).
Upon Your House: Beshaba can bind her curses to entire bloodlines, damning them to an eternity of misfortune. When she invokes this curse, she can add the effects of any one of her other curses (including bestow curse and greater bestow curse). If the target fails its saving throw, then it and up to 13 blood relatives it has immediately suffers the effects of the corrupt spell love’s pain. Furthermore, those same relatives must succeed at a Will save or suffer the effect of the curse Beshaba has chosen. If the primary target dies from the damage, then any subsequent saving throw to resist the effect of the curse suffers a -4 penalty.
Beshaba has access to countless other unique curses of her creation; these merely represent a few select maledictions that she enjoys using. In addition, Beshaba stacks her hexblade and sorcerer levels for the purpose of her caster level in either class. She can also wield cursed items of any type without suffering any ill effects, and any malus inflicted by such items upon the wielder are bonuses when wielded by Beshaba.
Mark of Fortune (Su) Once per day, Beshaba can “lend” some of her luck to an ally by tracing a sigil upon the back of the companion’s right hand or appendage. By doing so, she gives her ally one of the abilities of her luck infusion power. She may not give her ally the same ability that she has chosen for the day, nor may she give her ally the same ability as her permanent infusion power.
Immediately after tracing the mark, a mirror image of the sigil appears on Beshaba’s left hand or appendage, granting her a penalty that exactly mirrors the ally’s bonus. If one of the two marks of fortune is dispelled or suppressed (such as by an antimagic field), the other is disrupted in the same way. No creature may benefit from more than one mark of fortune at any one time.
Master of Terror (Ex): Beshaba’s fear spells are more potent. The save DC of any spell she casts with the fear descriptor increases by 1. This bonus stacks with Spell Focus. Furthermore, she adds the spells bane and doom to her sorcerer spell list as 2^nd-level spells.
In addition, she is adept at making people uneasy with the right word, expression, or gesture. Beshaba has a +10 bonus to all Intimidate skill checks.
Mettle (Ex) Beshaba can resist magical and unusual attacks with great willpower or fortitude. If she makes a successful Will or Fortitude save against an attack that normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save (such as any spell with a saving throw entry of Will half or Fortitude partial), she instead completely negates the effect. When unconscious or sleeping, she does not gain the benefit of mettle.
Nightmare Phantasm (Su) When Beshaba casts a figment or glamer spell, she can choose to weave a thread of nightmare phantasm into it as a free action 24 times per day. The spell gains the phantasm descriptor. Each time any enemy attempts a Will save to disbelieve the affected illusion spell, a tiny portion of the spell transforms into a phantasm effect that targets that enemy. The enemy becomes shaken for 1 round (no save). This ability has no other effect on the original spell’s duration or effectiveness. No creature can be affected by her nightmare phantasm ability more than once in a 24-hour period. This is a mind-affecting fear effect.
Permanent Infusion (Ex) Beshaba has selected the melee attack roll luck infusion effect as a permanent extraordinary aspect of her character.
Quick Cast Beshaba can cast 5 hexblade spells each day as a swift action, so long as the casting time of the spell is 1 standard action or less.
Reflective Fear (Su) Any fear effect against which Beshaba successfully saves is immediately targeted back at the source. She still gains the benefits of absorb fear. If the source of the fear effect fails its save, everyone else who might have been subject to the fear effect immediately gains a second saving throw to shake off the effects, as they observe the object of their fear itself grow terrified.
Resist Fate (Ex) Beshaba embraces her extraordinary good luck. Once per day, she can reroll one roll that she has just made. She must abide by the result of the reroll, even if it’s worse than the original roll.
Seal Fate (Su) Beshaba can meddle in success and failure, and even life and death, sealing the fate of a friend or foe. Once per day as a free action, Black Bess selects a target creature he can see within 30 feet with less than 60 Hit Dice. The creature receives either a —10 penalty or a +10 bonus on its next saving throw, as decided by her. If the selected target has more Hit Dice than Lady Doom, the ability doesn’t work but the use for the day is not wasted. This effect lasts only for 1 round, so if no spell or other effect is brought to bear on the target creature during the round, the creature’s fate is no longer sealed.
Spin Destiny (Ex) Beshaba clearly comprehends the matrix of reality and can use accumulated spin to adjust other random events. The method is identical to increasing a spell’s save DC, but she can now add spin to any skill check, attack roll, or saving throw that she attempts on a point-for-point basis. However, the spin utilized comes from the same limited reservoir of karma storage that allows her to adjust the DC of his spells. She must apply the bonus before making the roll.
Spin Fate (Ex) Beshaba understands that “chance” is not as random as many believe it to be, and she can adjust the probability of certain events by applying a force that fatespinners refer to as “spin.” Each day, Lady Doom can use 5 points of spin. As a free action, she can use stored spin to boost the save DC of a spell she casts, adding some or all her spin to the DC, on a point-for-point basis. Once she uses up his spin for the day, her ability to tinker with probability in this fashion is also exhausted for the day. Her spin is replenished whenever she successfully regains her spells for the day (whether through rest, preparation, or prayer).
Spirit Chill (Su) Creatures affected by a fear effect Beshaba causes (whether by a spell, class feature, or other effect) take nonlethal damage as well, depending on the potency of the fear created. Any creature that is shaken takes 1d6 points of nonlethal damage. A creature that becomes frightened takes 2d6 points of nonlethal damage, while a creature that becomes panicked takes 3d6 points of nonlethal damage.
Tyche’s Curse (Sp) Twice per day, Beshaba may bestow Tyche’s curse upon a single target within close range (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels). The target receives a Will save (DC 29) to negate the effects. Should he fail, he finds that the strands of good luck flee from him — he becomes clumsy, forgetful, and less effective than usual. This has the effect of a bestow curse spell, except that the duration is 10 minutes.

Advanced Learning (Ex) Cyric has added the cloak of hate, incite, maddening whispers, mindburn, and mindrape spells to his spell list, representing the result of personal study and experimentation.
Alter Ego (Sp) Cyric has three alternate identities. These alter egos have their own distinct physical characteristics, quirks, preferred clothing, and so on. At will, he can switch his form between that of his normal identity and that of his alter ego. This ability works like alter self cast at 10^th level, except that he can assume only the appearance of his alternate identity.
Armored Mage (Ex) Cyric’s specialized training allows him to avoid any chance of arcane spell failure as long as he restricts himself to light armor. This training does not extend to any other form of armor, nor does this ability apply to spells gained from other spellcasting classes.
Clever Wording (Ex) Cyric has mastered the ability to verbally transmit information to another character without others understanding it. He has to fail a Bluff check by 10 or more when delivering a secret message before false information is implied or inferred.
Cloaked Casting (Ex) Cyric’s spells are more effective when cast against an unwary foe. He gains a +2 bonus to the spell’s save DC when he cast a spell that targets any foe who would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not) and automatically overcomes the spell resistance of any affected target.
Divinity Cyric is an embodiment of ancient divine power. As such, reality is his to shape as he sees fit. Alter Reality: Cyric may alter reality within the bounds of his portfolio. This functions as a wish spell that requires no XP or material cost. The limits of this ability are fully described in Deities and Demigods. He can additionally alter his size from Fine to Colossal and may additionally alter up to 100 pounds of objects in the same manner. Avatar: Cyric can have up to twenty avatars at any given time. The Dark Sun is seldom seen on Faerûn but most often has appeared as a slim man with blazing dark eyes and chalk-white skin who speaks caustically and sarcastically and acts duplicitously but with firm purpose—save when he laughs wildly or discusses possible courses of action with himself in different voices in obvious insanity. He believes himself Master of All and often underestimates opponents because he simply cannot comprehend that they will not instantly fall before him. He was aptly described by one now-dead observer as “a babbling madman who nonetheless remains dangerously vengeful and capable.” Divine Blast: Cyric can create a ray of divine power that extends for up to 17 miles, dealing up to 432 points of damage, as a ranged touch attack with no saving throw. Cyric can unleash a divine blast 22 times per day, and alter the visual, auditory and sensation-based qualities of his divine blast as he desires. Cyrics’s divine blasts generally take the form of blasts of black or purple fire accompanied by images of whirling skulls. Divine Shield: As a free action 21 times per day, Cyric can create a shield that lasts 10 minutes and stops 170 points of damage from attacks. Once the shield stops that much damage, it collapses. Any damage Cyric is naturally immune to does not count towards the shield’s limits.
Greater Paralyzing Attack (Ex) The DC to resist Cyric’s death attack increases by +5 when he chooses to paralyze his victim rather than kill her outright.
Improved Inconspicuous Disguise (Ex) Contact with people who know the specific individual Cyric is replacing does not automatically provoke an opposed check. In addition, the Spot check bonus for such a viewer decreases by -4.
Inconspicuous Disguise (Ex) Suspicious observers do not get automatic Spot checks to note any disguise worn by Cyric. He is too good at applying the disguise and adopting the mannerisms of his new persona to arouse suspicion in any but the most interested parties.
Lord of Illusion (unique salient divine ability) Cyric is the god of illusion, having consumed the divine essence of Leira after murdering her. As such, he commands great power over the magic of lies and deceit.
Cyric adds all illusion spells, whether arcane or divine, to his beguiler spell list. He uses the totality of his Hit Dice to determine his caster level for his Illusion spells and adds one-half his divine rank (+8) as a bonus to the saving throw DCs for his illusion spells; this bonus stacks with his existing bonuses.
The Dark Sun has Epic Spellcasting as a bonus feat; however, he can only cast Illusion spells and utilize Illusion spell seeds. He adds +17 to his Spellcraft skill for the purpose of casting epic spells from the school of illusion.
Finally, the Prince of Lies’ illusion spells are as potent as Leira’s and ignore any form of immunity to illusion effects. Creatures immune to illusion effects instead gain a +8 bonus to the saving throw made to resist the effect.
Lively Discourse (Ex) Cyric has the ability to relay detailed messages, especially those that require specific locations, people and times. The DC is 30 to relay intricate messages with a Bluff check.
Penetrating Strike Whenever Cyric flanks a creature that is immune to extra damage from sneak attacks, he still deals +9d6 extra damage. This benefit does not apply against creatures that cannot be flanked, nor against foes that are otherwise denied their Dexterity bonus to AC or flat-footed but not flanked. This replaces his trap sense ability.
Piqued Hearing (Ex) Cyric is so attuned to conversations with secret messages that noticing them becomes effortless. If he is within 30 feet of a conversation containing a secret message, he is entitled to a Sense Motive check to intercept the transmitted message as if actively listening for it. He must first be able to hear the conversation with a Listen check.
Prince of Lies (unique salient divine ability) Such is Cyric’s skill at deceit that he can warp the worldview or even shatter the minds of anyone that falls for his lies. Whenever a creature fails its Sense Motive check against Cyric’s Bluff check, it becomes convinced of Cyric’s actions and cause. Such creatures must succeed at a Will save (DC 74) with a -17 penalty to the save or be affected as though by charm monster and regard Cyric as its trusted friend and ally. This extends to even suicidal or harmful orders, as the creature believes Cyric is working in its best interests and that any harm done to it is in service of Cyric’s cause.
Cyric can additionally choose to instead weaken or shatter a creature’s mind, making it question everything it knows or driving it mad. He can choose to inflict feeblemind or insanity with his Bluff check, with the same stipulations.
Cyric’s caster level for this effect is 77^th, and he can affect up to 17 creatures per day.
Sideslip (Su) Cyric is supernaturally elusive. Four times per day as an immediate action, he can transfer himself from his current space to another up to 20 feet away. This ability otherwise works like the dimension door spell, except that he cannot transport other creatures with him.
Sudden Escape (Sp) Cyric can expend two daily uses of his sideslip ability as a swift action to use dimension door, as the spell, as a 60^th level caster.
Surprise Casting (Ex) When Cyric successfully uses the Bluff skill to feint in combat, his target is denied its Dexterity bonus (if it has one) to AC for the next melee attack he makes against it or the next spell he casts. He must remain in melee with the target, and the attack must be made or the spell cast on or before his next turn. The target is not considered flat-footed and therefore can make attacks of opportunity against him if you do not cast defensively. In addition, Cyric can feint in combat as a move action instead of a standard action.
Tongue of the Devil (Ex) Cyric’s cunning misdirection leaves others at his mercy. He adds his Intelligence bonus (+19) to Bluff checks.
Undetectable Alignment (Su) Cyric’s alignment cannot be detected by any means, as the undetectable alignment spell. He can activate or deactivate this ability at will as a free action.
Possessions Cyric carries Razor’s Edge, a +8 keen sonic blast speed vorpal longsword of anarchic and unholy power with the combined powers of an assassin’s dagger, backstabber and mace of ruin. Razor’s edge is uncannily light and well-balanced and counts as a light weapon for the purpose of Weapon Finesse. Wounds inflicted by razor’s edge are fine and discreet as the blade silently carves through skin and sinew alike, inflicting 2 points of Dexterity drain. In addition, razor’s edge can cut through any force effect, magical or non-magical wall or barrier (such as a wall of force or prismatic wall) by succeeding at an attack roll against the effect’s caster level. (CL 60^th)
Other Divine Powers As a greater power, Cyric automatically receives the best possible result on any die roll he makes (including attack rolls, damage, checks, and saves). He treats a 1 on an attack roll or saving throw normally and not as an automatic failure. He is immortal. Senses Cyric can see (using normal vision or darkvision), hear, touch, and smell at a distance of 17 miles. As a standard action, he can perceive anything within 17 miles of his worshippers, holy sites, objects, or any location where one of his titles or name was spoken in the last hour. He can extend his senses to up to 20 locations at once. He can block the sensing power of deities of his rank or lower at up to two remote locations at once for 17 hours. Portfolio Sense Cyric is aware of any act of strife, deceit or murder, or the casting of any illusion spell, regardless of the number of people involved up to 17 weeks in the past and 17 weeks in the future. Automatic Actions Cyric can use any skill related to his portfolio as a free action if the DC for the task is 30 or lower, or up to DC 47 for Bluff and Disguise. He can perform up to twenty such free actions each round. Create Magic Items Cyric can craft any magical item associated with deceit, lies, strife or murder, or any item that utilizes the illusion school, including artifacts.

Angry Spell (Ex) When Talos casts a spell of the abjuration, conjuration, evocation, necromancy, or transmutation school while raging, the save DC for the spell increases by +4.
Call Storm (Sp) Talos only feels fully at home within the confines of a storm. He has the ability to use a control weather effect once per week but can only create a windstorm, thunderstorm, or hurricane-force winds (see page 214 of the Player’s Handbook and pages 94—95 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide). He is treated as a druid when using this ability (or when casting control weather through his own spellcasting power) for the purpose of duration and area of the spell.
Dashing Step Talos has mastered the technique of rushing into combat. He does not take a -2 penalty to Armor Class when charging. Furthermore, he adds one-third of his barbarian level (+8) to his AC against attacks of opportunity when charging. This replaces his trap sense ability.
Divinity Talos is an embodiment of ancient divine power. As such, reality is his to shape as he sees fit. Alter Reality: Talos may alter reality within the bounds of his portfolio. This functions as a wish spell that requires no XP or material cost. The limits of this ability are fully described in Deities and Demigods. He can additionally alter his size from Fine to Colossal and may additionally alter up to 100 pounds of objects in the same manner. Avatar: Talos can have up to twenty avatars at any given time. When Talos is seen, which is seldom, he appears as a broad-shouldered, bearded young man with a single good eye, the other covered by a dark patch. Some sages say the empty eye socket is filled with whirling stars. He dresses in a half-suit of field plate armor (sans helm) worn over smooth black leather armor and black leather gloves. When he appears as Bhaelros in Calimshan, he often manifests in the form of a turbaned genie with dusky skin rising out of a sandstorm. Divine Blast: Talos can create a ray of divine power that extends for up to 16 miles, dealing up to 432 points of damage, as a ranged touch attack with no saving throw. Talos can unleash a divine blast 23 times per day, and alter the visual, auditory and sensation-based qualities of his divine blast as he desires. Talos’s divine blasts generally take the form of red or blue-white lightning bolts accompanied by booming thunder. Divine Shield: As a free action 23 times per day, Talos can create a shield that lasts 10 minutes and stops 160 points of damage from attacks. Once the shield stops that much damage, it collapses. Any damage Talos is naturally immune to does not count towards the shield’s limits.
Eye of the Storm (Ex) Even in a storm, the winds whipping around Talos leave him unaffected. He ignores the penalties associated with ranged attack rolls and Listen checks due to high winds and can share this protection with any number of allies within 30 feet. Granting (or removing) this benefit from any number of allies is a free action.
Fearsome Gaze Talos’s merest glance can break a man’s will to fight. He gains a +4 bonus on Intimidate checks and uses Strength instead of Charisma as his key ability for Intimidate. He and his target must be within 60 feet and must be able to see one another. This replaces his indomitable will ability.
Lord of Destruction (unique salient divine ability) Talos is the darkest and most destructive aspect of nature at its most primal. Even by divine standards, he commands near-unrivalled power over all forms of destruction and elemental ruin.
Talos adds his barbarian level to his arcane caster level for the purposes of casting spells from the schools that benefit from his Angry Spell class ability and all his rages are Spell Rages. All evocation spells cast by the Destroyer are automatically intensified. Furthermore, Talos’s damaging evocation spells and energy-based effects ignore energy resistance, deal half-damage to creatures normally immune to such effects, and deal double damage to creatures vulnerable to such effects. The Stormlord treats all evocation spells and all spells with an elemental or energy descriptor as part of the arcane spell list.
Talos is instantaneously aware of any spell with an energy descriptor or weather-based effect cast within range of his divine senses or within his divine realm. He can seize control of such effects and use them as he sees fit unless an opposing caster level check against CL 81^st is made. Talos is immune to all weather-based effects unless derived from his Primordial Destroyer salient divine ability.
The Stormlord’s primal nature is such that all his salient divine abilities that deal a specific type of elemental damage are instead modified so that Talos can choose the type of damage he wishes to deal. The destructive power of nature within Talos’s being affects even his magic and rage, and thus the Stormlord treats Energy Admixture and Energy Substitution in all elements, Instantaneous Rage, Ruinous Rage and Terrifying Rage as bonus feats.
Finally, Talos possesses great power over storms and winds. He can surround himself with a double-strength towering thunderhead effect for as long as he desires. He can fly at will at a speed of 160 feet with perfect maneuverability.
Lord of the Storm (Su) Talos’s mastery of the power of the storm is complete. He has resistance to electricity 30 and resistance to sonic 30. He is immune to being blown away, knocked down, or checked by high winds (whether natural or magical) and has a +2 competence bonus on saves against spells with the air or water descriptor.
Primordial Destroyer (unique salient divine ability) The primordial energies of destruction writhe within Talos’s body, held in check only by the most mundane of seals. He can unleash these destructive energies, at will, in the following manners:
Eyepatch: Behind Talos’s eyepatch is a field of whirling stars. When he lifts his eyepatch, a bolt of lightning forks out at a target of his choice within 16 miles and deals 192 points of electricity damage and 192 points of divine damage unless a Reflex save (DC 78 half) is made, and arcs to up to 65 targets, each of which can be no more than 16 miles apart. The secondary targets must also attempt Reflex saves to resist the effect. Any creature that takes damage is also stunned for 1d10 rounds. Due to the storm within him, Talos is immune to electricity damage.
Right Glove: Bone-chilling frost seethes within Talos’s hollow right arm. If he removes his right glove (and the hand along with it), an immense cone of frost mixed with hailstones, shards and icicles, up to 1,600 feet in length, roars out and deals 384 points of damage, half of which is cold and half of which is either bludgeoning, piercing or slashing damage. Talos can unleash his right glove in place of a full attack action, in which case he creates a number of cones of frost equal to the number of attacks he would make. The cold within Talos is greater than any frost and grants him immunity to cold.
Staff of Iron: Within Talos’s left arm resides three staves, one of which is made from the first iron smelted in the Realms and commands absolute power over wind. This functions as control winds, but Talos can always shift the category of wind up or down as an immediate action and can stabilize it as he wishes without spending time to concentrate. Tales can also simultaneously form a combined wind wall and greater whirlwind around himself of incredible strength, capable of affecting even the largest projectiles.
Staff of Silver: The second staff within Talos’s left arm is made from the first silver smelted in Faerûn and can call up deadly waves, waterspouts, whirlpools, or part water with such power as to lay bare the bottom of a river, lake, or harbor. He can create maelstroms and tsunamis (as the spells of the same name and are otherwise intensified as per the metamagic feat) and can affect a radius of up to 16 miles in diameter.
Staff of Wood: The third staff within Talos’s left arm is carved from the first tree felled in Faerûn (said to be a shadowtop), and it can move earth swiftly and over a large enough area to open great rifts in the land or can cause earthquakes. This move earth ability is as the arcane spell, but Talos can affect whatever terrain he wishes up to 16 miles square in length and width and until bedrock is struck in depth and completes all casting and movement in no more than five rounds. The earthquake ability functions as the spell, is intensified, and otherwise affects an area of up to 16 miles.
Talos can use any of the staves as weapons in place of his lightning – as melee weapons, the iron staff is a +10 lightning blast quarterstaff, the silver staff is a +10 icy blast quarterstaff and the wood staff is a +10 acidic blast quarterstaff. The staves benefit from the existing bonuses of his Weapon Focus and similar feats.
If Talos takes damage from his own staves and their powers, his right glove’s powers or the lightning of his eyepatch, it bypasses his immunities and resistances and banishes him to the Towers of Ruin for 4d10 days, during which he does not grant spells or manifest in Faerun.
Shield of Winds (Sp) Talos can call up high winds to cast aside the arrows of his foes 3 times per day. As an immediate action he can surround his space with an effect equal to a wind wall for 1 round.
Spell Fury (Sp) Talos can quicken one spell of 4th level or lower (as if he had used the Quicken Spell feat), but without adjusting the spell’s level or casting time. He may use this ability once during each rage.
Spell Rage (Ex) Talos can cast spells while in a rage, as long as the spell’s casting time is no more than 1 full round. When he casts a spell of the abjuration, conjuration, evocation, necromancy, or transmutation school while in a rage, he uses his character level (65) as his caster level.
Storm Spell Power (Ex) Talos is truly skilled in the use of spells that wield the power of the stormy seas. Any spell he casts that has the air, electricity, sonic, or water descriptor is cast at +2 caster level.
Thunderbolt (Ex) Talos uses his knowledge of the storm to add the power of thunder to his lightning-based spells. Any spell he casts that deals electricity damage also deals an extra 1 point of sonic damage per spell level and stuns any creature damaged by the spell for 1 round (Fortitude save negates; DC equals the save DC of the spell, even if the spell wouldn’t normally allow a save).
Thunderclap (Su) Talos can channel stored spell energy into pure sonic energy. He can lose any prepared spell or spell slot in order to generate a 30-foot-radius burst of sonic energy. The burst deals 1d4 points of sonic damage per level of the spell slot to all targets in the area; any creature damaged by this effect is stunned for 1 round. A Fortitude save halves this damage and negates the stun effect. He is immune to his own thunderclap power. This otherwise functions like the cleric’s spontaneous casting class feature.
Warrior Cry (Sp) Talos may scream out a cry once per day as a free action on his turn and gain the benefit of the Tenser’s transformation spell, with one exception: he does not lose his spellcasting ability for the duration of this effect. Talos’s caster level for the purpose of this effect is equal to his character level (65).
Possessions
Talos preferred method of combat is with explosive lightning bolts that he can create at will. Each bolt of lightning is a crackling spear of writhing, barely restrained electricity that functions as a +10 fiery, lightning and sonic blast longspear of chaotic and unholy power that can assume any size from halfspear to longspear or more. Talos can wield his lightning as ranged weapons without penalty; as ranged weapons, his lightning gains the distant shot, triple-throw and unerring accuracy abilities. In either form, on a critical hit, a sonic-admixtured chain lightning arcs out from the point of origin and deals both weapon damage in addition to the spell damage. (CL 65^th).
The Stormlord also wears +10 half-plate of great reflection (as the shield epic property) with no armor or Dexterity penalty or spell failure chance. His armor is treated as studded leather armor for the purpose of his barbarian class abilities. (CL 65^th).
Other Divine Powers As a greater power, Talos automatically receives the best possible result on any die roll he makes (including attack rolls, damage, checks, and saves).
