Martial Flurry (Ex): At 3rd level, a Shou disciple gains the
ability to use any light melee weapon for his flurry of blows,

Power Attack, Spring Attack, Weapon Finesse, and Weapon

Talontar
Blightlord
Corrupt priests who revel in decay, the blightlords of Talona
are feared and reviled throughout the Unapproachable East.
Their plagues have transformed the western reaches of the
Rawlinswood into a foul green hell of diseased monsters and
deadly poisons. Worse yet, the blightlords seek to infect the
healthy forests and lands nearby with the same sickness.
Under the tutelage of the horrible Rotting Man, the Talontar
blightlords marshal the Rawlinswood’s black horde, leading
their infected minions forth to scourge the nearby lands.
(For more on the Rotting Man and his minions, see Chapter
9: The Great Dale.)
Most of the blightlords are drawn from evil clerics, druids,
or rangers who venerate Talona, the Mother of All Plagues.
A handful of fighters, barbarians, and sorcerers have become
captains of the Rotting Man’s armies, but since the prospective
blightlord must have access to divine spells, any such can-
The Talontar blightlord gains access to the Blightbringer
prestige domain. A prestige domain functions just like a
normal cleric domain—the character gains a granted power
associated with the domain and access to a special spell list. A
character with cleric spellcasting ability may choose to prepare
a spell from the Blightbringer prestige domain as her
domain spell at any given level when she prepares spells.
Characters with druid or ranger spellcasting ability who
acquire a prestige domain gain an extra domain spell per day
at each spell level. In effect, they are like clerics with only
one domain. The character only gains an additional domain
spell for each spell level she can cast normally—so a ranger,
whose spell capability reaches its maximum at 4th-level
spells, does not gain domain spells for 5th through 9th level.
