blightlords no longer need abide by their weapon and armor
restrictions, as the blightlords turn their backs on the conventional
druidic traditions.
Spells Per Day: At every Talontar blightlord level
(except 6th and 10th), the character gains new divine spells
per day as if she had also gained a level in a divine spellcasting
class to which she belonged before adding the prestige
class level. She does not,
however, gain any other benefit
a character of that class
would have gained (improved
chance of turning or destroying
undead, metamagic
or item creation feats, and so on).
This essentially means that she
adds the level of Talontar blightlord
to the level of whatever spellcasting
class the character has, then determines
spells per day and caster level
accordingly.
If the character had more than
one divine spellcasting class before
becoming a Talontar blightlord,
the player must decide to which
class to add each Talontar blightlord
level for the purpose of determining
spells per day.
Blightbringer Prestige Domain:
At 1st level, a Talontar blightlord
gains access to the Blightbringer
prestige domain, described in the
sidebar. The domain must be assigned
to the character’s spell progression
in an existing divine
spellcasting class.
Blightblood (Ex): A Talontar blightlord
is completely immune to all disease,
magical or otherwise. Blightspawned creatures
(see Chapter 6: Monsters of the East) do not attack
her unless she attacks them, although they may attack other
creatures in her company.
PRESTIGE CLASSES
Talontar Blightlord
35
Illmaster: Any animal companions a blightlord possesses
gain the blightspawned template (see Chapter 6: Monsters of
the East). This does not affect the number of animal companions
she may have at any given time.
Blight Touch (Su): Starting at 3rd level, once per day as a
standard action, a Talontar blightlord may attempt a melee
touch attack to infect a victim with Talona’s blight.
Talona’s Blight: Supernatural disease—by spell, Fortitude
save (DC 10 + Talontar blightlord class level +
Talontar blightlord’s Wisdom modifier), incubation
period 1d6 days; damage 1d4 Constitution
and 1d4 Charisma. Unlike normal diseases,
Talona’s blight continues until the victim
reaches Constitution 0 (and dies), Charisma
0 (possibly becoming a blightspawned creature,
if it is a valid type), or receives a
remove disease spell or similar magic.
At 5th, 7th, and 9th level, the Talontar
blightlord gains one more use of this
power per day.
Blightmind (Su): On reaching 4th
level, once per day as a standard action,
a Talontar blightlord may establish a
mental link with and dominate (as dominate
monster) a single blightspawned
creature within 60 feet. The mental
link lasts for up to 1 minute per
blightlord level and has a range of up
to one mile. While the link is in
effect, the blightlord may concentrate
to receive sensory input from the
linked creature or issue it instructions.
(The creature obeys any orders to the
best of its ability and need not be continuously
directed in its assigned tasks.)
The blightspawned creature receives a
Will saving throw (DC 10 + Talontar blightlord’s
class level + Talontar blightlord’s Wisdom
modifier) to negate the effect.
Black Glaive (Su): Starting at 6th level, any glaive wielded
by a Talontar blightlord gains the icy burst ability, dealing
