Master of Ceremonies
You understand that versatility and diligence are the
keys to successfully performing black ceremonies and
are practised in the use of all your skills.
Prerequisites: Int 13+.
Benefits: You gain a +2 competence bonus to all skill
checks when attempting a final skill check to complete
a black ceremony or when attempting any ceremony
sub-check. This bonus applies to any and all skills
used in any black ceremony, but applies only during
ceremonies.
Special: You can select this feat twice, with the second
selection increasing the bonus to a total of +4.
Nurturer and Punisher
You are especially skilled at directing the energy of
black ceremonies in ways that bolster or weaken beings,
objects and concepts.
Prerequisites: Charisma, Intelligence or Wisdom
15+.
Benefits: You gain a +2 bonus to all sub-checks and
final DC checks made to complete ceremonies which
create bolstering or weakening effects.
Special: The bonus from Nurturer and Punisher stacks
with that gained from the Master of Ceremonies feat.
Poison Focus
Poison is holy to the Dark Mother of Spiders and you
have learned to harness its destructive abilities for
your own ends, sharpening both your mind and your
spellcasting skills.
Prerequisites: Iron Will, ability to cast arcane magic.
Benefits: By intentionally subjecting yourself to the
effects of poison, you focus your will and gain a
sharper clarity. You gain a circumstance bonus to your
Intelligence score equal to one half the ability damage
inflicted as a result of the poison, to a maximum equal
to your unmodified Intelligence bonus. This feat’s
benefits do not take effect when you are affected by
a poison which damages your Intelligence score, nor
does it apply to poisons which do not inflict ability
score damage. The increase to your Intelligence score
lasts for one full day from the time of initial damage,
with bonuses gained as a result of suffering permanent
ability score damage still fading after one day. Poison
focus applies only to the first poison damage received
each day.
Special: The bonus to Intelligence received as a result of
poison inflicted ability score damage ends immediately

if the character’s ability score damage is healed by
magical or non-magical healing of any sort.
Poison Mark
Your familiar bears the mark and favour of the Dark
Mother of Spiders, allowing it to transmit poison with
a melee attack.
Prerequisites: Must be bonded to a familiar, or have
ability to attract a familiar as a class ability.
Benefits: Three times a day, your familiar can deliver
a powerful poison with a success melee attack. The
poison deals 1d4 points of initial Constitution damage,
with another 1d4 points of secondary Constitution
damage one minute later. A Fortitude save is allowed
to resist the effect; the DC of the save is equal to 10
+ one half your caster level. If your familiar already
possesses a poison attack, then the save DC of the attack
is increased by +4.
Power of Blood
The Dark Mother of Spiders thrives on violence and
the shedding of blood and looks with favour upon those
who wield spell and blade with equal skill.
Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +2, ability to cast
arcane spells.
Benefits: You do not need to perform the somatic or
verbal components of a spell in any round immediately
following one in which you successfully struck and
damaged a living creature in melee combat. Successful
attacks against undead and constructs are not considered
for the purposes of this feat, only attacks against living
creatures.
Sharp Fangs
Your spells are like the sharpest of spider fangs,
piercing through spiritual flesh with ease.
Prerequisites: Power of Blood.
Benefits: When casting a spell against an opponent
you have successfully struck and damaged in melee
combat in the previous round, you gain a +2 bonus to
pierce their spell resistance. The benefits of this feat
stack with those gained from the Spell Penetration feat
and other, similar feats.
Special: This feat can be selected a second time.
The second time it is selected, the ability to pierce
spell resistance applies for two rounds after you have
successfully struck the target in melee combat.
