The Hellfire Lord
Background: Hellfire Lords are a varied and diverse group of warriors. Some wear light armor and through blasts of flame at opponents from a distance while others wear plate and wade into the thicket of combat. The one trait that almost all Hellfire Lords share is excessive cruelty and a love of power. A neutral aligned Hellfire Lord is nigh non existent but is technically a possibility.
Goals: I wanted to create a tier two gish class that is very durable. I also was inspired by preview of some of the World of Warcraft Warlock talents as anyone who knows those can probably see.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Hellfire Lord.
Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: See focus class feature.
Strikes: Strikes are martial maneuvers that the Hellfire Lord imbues with his fel power. Despite their somewhat magical nature all Strikes are extraordinary unless noted otherwise. Once a Hellfire Lord gets 11 bab he can make a standard melee attack at his full base attack bonus after using a standard action strike. Some strikes require a two handed weapon, a one handed weapon wielded in two hands does not qualify for this requirement nor do weapons that can be wielded in one hand (bastard sword). Any Strike that has a DC has a Dc equal to 10 + 1/2 class level + the Hellfire Lord's charisma modifier. The Hellfire Lord can use a number of strikes per encounter equal to his charisma modifier.
Hell Chants: Hell Chants are similar to invocations but don't incur arcane spell failure or provoke attack of opportunities. They are presented in this format in the below list. (Use Active/Passive, Action to Use, Cooldown). If a Hell Chant is passive it does not count against the number of Hell Chants useable per round when it is triggered and won't activate again until its cooldown is finished. Some Hell Chants require one free arm to use. If you are wielding a two handed weapon or a one handed weapon and any type of shield you can't use those those Hell Chants. Any Hell Chant that has a DC has a Dc equal to 10 + 1/2 class level + the Hellfire Lord's charisma modifier. You can use a number of Hell Chants per round equal to your charisma modifier.
Focus: At first level the Hellfire Lord choose a focus that determines abilities gained at later levels and determine strengths and weaknesses. There are three focuses, Blood, Destruction, Demonology. All focuses determine the Hellfire Lord's weapon and armor proficiencies, give the Hellfire Lord a special strike, Hell Chant, and passive ability at level one.
Blood

This strike deals an additional 1d6 + 3 damage per class level if the strike hits the target with a -5 penalty. This strike requires a two handed weapon.
Hell Chant: Rune Tap: (Active, Swift, 3) The Hellfire Lord temporarily increases his own natural regeneration by an incredible amount. The Hellfire Lord heals 1d6 + 1 per class level.
Passive: Strength and Constitution increase by 2.
At level 10 this bonus increases to 4.
At level 15 this bonus increases to 6.
Focus Abilities
Level 3: Vengeance
Whenever the Hellfire Lord is attacked he gains a number of revenge points equal to 1/10 of the damage dealt to him.

After one melee attack or use of the full attack action these revenge points disappear.

Level 12: Howl Of Terror
The Hellfire Lord can use intimidate to demoralize all within 30 feet of him as a standard action. This is usable once every 3 rounds and the demoralization lasts for the entire encounter. If they fail by more than 15 on the check they are frightened for 3 rounds instead. This ability can't be used with imperious command and the demoralization does not stack with itself.
Level 15: Blood Parasites
Whenever the Hellfire Lord uses Heart Strike he has a 50% chance to infest the target with blood parasites. These parasites can only be killed with a heal or restoration spell. Heart strike summons 1d4 parasites and they each deal 1 damage per 3 class levels each round for 10 rounds to the target. The Hellfire Lord is healed by this amount. No target can have more than five parasites infesting them at a time.
Level 18: Dancing Weapon
The Hellfire Lord can summon a weapon formed of his own blood. This weapon floats around him and duplicates the same attacks as him but weaker effectively making the Hellfire Lord deal 25% more damage. The blade also parries incoming attacks and gives the Hellfire Lord a 25% miss chance. Unlike normal miss chance this is not bypassed by trueseeing or similar ways of bypassing miss chance and also it stacks with all other miss chances.

This madness lasts 5 rounds and during it the DC for resisting the black blood does not increase. After the madness ends the DC to resist is reduced by 3. Anyone affected can cancel the black blood infesting them by making a will save of the same DC at the end of their turn. Failure means that the dc is increased as if they had spent an additional round being affected. After being going berserk the target is exhausted for 8 hours and can't be infected with the black blood for 8 hours.
At level 13 the DR increases to class level + charisma modifier. The DC to resist is now 10 + 5 * number of rounds affected by the black blood during the day.

The Hellfire Lord
Background: Hellfire Lords are a varied and diverse group of warriors. Some wear light armor and through blasts of flame at opponents from a distance while others wear plate and wade into the thicket of combat. The one trait that almost all Hellfire Lords share is excessive cruelty and a love of power. A neutral aligned Hellfire Lord is nigh non existent but is technically a possibility.
Goals: I wanted to create a tier two gish class that is very durable. I also was inspired by preview of some of the World of Warcraft Warlock talents as anyone who knows those can probably see.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Hellfire Lord.
Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: See focus class feature.
Strikes: Strikes are martial maneuvers that the Hellfire Lord imbues with his fel power. Despite their somewhat magical nature all Strikes are extraordinary unless noted otherwise. Once a Hellfire Lord gets 11 bab he can make a standard melee attack at his full base attack bonus after using a standard action strike. Some strikes require a two handed weapon, a one handed weapon wielded in two hands does not qualify for this requirement nor do weapons that can be wielded in one hand (bastard sword). Any Strike that has a DC has a Dc equal to 10 + 1/2 class level + the Hellfire Lord's charisma modifier. The Hellfire Lord can use a number of strikes per encounter equal to his charisma modifier.
Hell Chants: Hell Chants are similar to invocations but don't incur arcane spell failure or provoke attack of opportunities. They are presented in this format in the below list. (Use Active/Passive, Action to Use, Cooldown). If a Hell Chant is passive it does not count against the number of Hell Chants useable per round when it is triggered and won't activate again until its cooldown is finished. Some Hell Chants require one free arm to use. If you are wielding a two handed weapon or a one handed weapon and any type of shield you can't use those those Hell Chants. Any Hell Chant that has a DC has a Dc equal to 10 + 1/2 class level + the Hellfire Lord's charisma modifier. You can use a number of Hell Chants per round equal to your charisma modifier.
Focus: At first level the Hellfire Lord choose a focus that determines abilities gained at later levels and determine strengths and weaknesses. There are three focuses, Blood, Destruction, Demonology. All focuses determine the Hellfire Lord's weapon and armor proficiencies, give the Hellfire Lord a special strike, Hell Chant, and passive ability at level one.

Anyone affected can cancel the black blood infesting them by making a will save of the same DC at the end of their turn. Failure means that the dc is increased as if they had spent an additional round being affected. After being going berserk the target is exhausted for 8 hours and can't be infected with the black blood for 8 hours.
At level 13 the DR increases to class level + charisma modifier. The DC to resist is now 10 + 5 * number of rounds affected by the black blood during the day.
