Weapon and Armour Proficiency: A Tormentor gains no<br />

proficiency with weapons or armour.<br />

Spells per Day: When a new Tormentor level is gained, the<br />

character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a<br />

level in whatever divine spellcasting he belonged to before<br />

he added the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any<br />

other benefit a character of that class would have gained<br />

(such as improved abilities to turn or rebuke undead,<br />

favoured enemy progression and so on). If a character<br />

had more than one spellcasting class before he became a<br />

Tormentor, he must decide to which class he adds each<br />

level of Tormentor for the purpose of determining spells<br />

per day.<br />

Pain Immunity (Ex): <strong>The</strong> Tormentor no longer suffers any<br />

debilitating effects from any form of pain, including spells<br />

such as symbol of pain. He has suffered far greater agony<br />

born from the fertile imagination of the clergy of the Dark<br />

Lady of Agony than anything mere magic can conjure.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Tormentor still feels any pain he is caused, but through<br />

long experience and an amazing tolerance, he is able to act<br />

normally even when he is in agony.<br />

Touch of Anguish (Su): <strong>The</strong> Tormentor carries his goddess’<br />

gift of pain in his very fingertips. By making a successful<br />

melee touch attack on a foe, the Tormentor may inflict<br />

1d6 points of nonlethal damage to his enemy. This may<br />

not be used in conjunction with a weapon strike, nor may<br />

it be used through any means of delivering touch spells<br />

from a distance (such as through the spectral hand spell).<br />

However, it may be used in conjunction with a sneak attack,<br />

with an unarmed strike or with a touch-delivered spell (such<br />

as cause light wounds or shocking grasp). <strong>The</strong> Tormentor<br />

may add his Strength modifier to damage. This ability may<br />

be used any time the Tormentor is in physical contact with<br />

an enemy, for example if the Tormentor is grappled.<br />

Remove Pain (Sp): Sometimes, Polshoath’s<br />

gift of pain must be removed. Using his<br />

mastery over pain, the Tormentor is able to<br />

remove all physically and magically caused<br />

pain with a touch. If, for example, a Tormentor<br />

is travelling with a group of companions<br />

when they encounter a hostile wizard who<br />

incapacitates all but the Tormentor with a<br />

symbol of pain spell, the Tormentor may use<br />

this ability to remove the effects of the spell<br />

from one of his companions. <strong>The</strong> ability also<br />

heals 1d6 nonlethal damage per class level of<br />

the Tormentor. <strong>The</strong> Tormentor may use this<br />

ability once per class level per day.<br />

Draw Out the Pain (Ex): At 4 th level, the<br />

Tormentor is so familiar with pain that he<br />

can extend the duration of any pain spell<br />

he casts, doubling the length of time the<br />

targets of the spell will be under its effects.<br />

Note that this only affects spells which<br />

specifically cause pain (such as symbol of<br />

pain), not spells whose primary function is<br />

to inflict hit point damage with pain as an<br />

unavoidable side effect.<br />

Fear’s Dominance (Ex): <strong>The</strong> Tormentor<br />

knows that sometimes the threat of pain<br />

can be as persuasive as pain itself. With<br />

this ability, the Tormentor is entitled to a<br />

+5 circumstance bonus to any Intimidate<br />

skill checks made against a foe that has felt<br />

the pain of one of the Tormentor’s special<br />

attacks. Tormentors commonly use this<br />

ability on torture victims.<br />
