Though Ydrillia allows and encourages such ambition in her servants, despite the fact they believe they serve themselves, should any Lord of the Veil cease in carrying on at least the trappings of devotion to her then she will certainly strip him of his powers and leave him helpless amongst the drow. The prestige class of Lord of the Veil is open to any spellcasting class, but those characters who are multiclassed cleric/sorcerers or cleric/wizards will benefit most from the gifts of Ydrillia. Hit Die: d4 Requirements Feats: At least one Item Creation feat, at least one Metamagic feat, Skill Focus (Knowledge (arcana)) Race: Drow Skills: Concentration 4 ranks, Knowledge (arcana) 8 ranks, Knowledge (religion) 8 ranks, Spellcraft 8 ranks Other: Must be able to cast at least 4 th level arcane or divine spells Class Skills: The class skills of a Lord (Lady) of the Veil (and the key ability for each skill) are: Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (all, though taken individually) (Int), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int). Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int modifier Class Features All of the following are class features of the Lord (Lady) of the Veil prestige class. Weapon and Armour Proficiency: A Lord (Lady) of the Veil gains no proficiencies with weapons or armour. Spells per Day: When a new Lord (Lady) of the Veil level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in whatever arcane or divine spellcasting he belonged to before he added the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (such as improved abilities to turn or rebuke undead, bonus metamagic feats and so on). If a character had more than one spellcasting class before he became a Lord (Lady) of the Veil, he must decide to which class he adds each level of Lord (Lady) of the Veil for the purpose of determining spells per day.

Additional Innate Spell I (Sp): The new Lord of the Veil may, at 1 st level, choose a 1 st level spell available to him as a new innate ability. From this point forward, the spell is considered an innate spell-like ability, useable once per day, just as the other spell-like abilities of the drow. Channel Innate Magic (Su): At 3 rd level, the Lord of the Veil discovers how to blend his innate spells and the power that he wields together to further augment his magic. Whenever the Lord of the Veil casts a spell, he may use up the daily use of one of his innate spell-like abilities, increasing the caster level of the spell cast by the level of the spell-like ability discharged. Additional Innate Spell II (Sp): As Additional Innate Spell I, except the Lord of the Veil may choose any 2 nd level spell to which he has access as a new innate spell-like ability. Mage Hand (Sp): At 5 th level, the Lord of the Veil gains the ability to cast mage hand at will as a spell-like ability. He may not use mage hand for his channel innate magic ability. Bonus Feat (Ex): At 7 th level, the Lord of the Veil may choose a bonus feat taken from the following list: any item creation feat, any metamagic feat, Greater Spell Focus, Greater Spell Penetration, Skill Focus (Spellcraft), Spell Focus, Spell Mastery, Spell Penetration. He must meet the feat’s prerequisites in order to take it as a bonus feat. Wellspring (Su): At 9 th level, the Lord of the Veil has touched the wellspring of magic, becoming favoured of Ydrillia. He begins to understand the most fundamental aspects of magic, and how to use them to his own advantage. A Lord of the Veil with multiple spellcasting classes may use this fundamental understanding of magic so that his caster level is equal to the number of levels he has combined in any spell-casting classes. Thus a Lord of the Veil who was a 9 th level wizard and 5 th level cleric casts both arcane and divine spells at 14 th caster level. Eldritch Understanding (Ex): The Lord of the Veil’s magical understanding deepens further, making all metamagic feats he possesses easier to use. All metamagic feats in the Lord of the Veil’s repertoire now have their level penalties decreased by one. For example, a Lord of the Veil who uses the Spare Companions feat to cast a fireball into melee now casts the fireball as a 6 th level spell, not a 7 th level spell. This ability has no effect on those metamagic feats with a level modifier of one level. Pitiless Slayer The Pitiless Slayer is the quintessential warrior of the drow. He cares nothing for the rules of combat, or for the niceties of convention. His goal is the destruction of the enemy for his own glory and for that of Thraud the Pitiless Blade. The Pitiless Slayer focuses on offensive rather than defensive fighting, and generally wears light or medium 153

<strong>The</strong> Lord of the Veil works to further his own magical<br />

power, to plumb new depths of eldritch might and to reveal<br />

the greatest mysteries of magic. Though Ydrillia allows and<br />

encourages such ambition in her servants, despite the fact<br />

they believe they serve themselves, should any Lord of the<br />

to her then she will certainly strip him of his powers and<br />

leave him helpless amongst the drow.<br />

<strong>The</strong> prestige class of Lord of the Veil is open to any<br />

spellcasting class, but those characters who are multiclassed<br />

cleric/sorcerers or cleric/wizards will benefit most from the<br />
