Princes of the Green Sun [3.5 Epic Destinies]

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Defiler Prince



Defiler Princes serve She Who Lives In Her Name, graced with great mental force to destroy those in their path. Defilers use the very power of the minds to crush the minds and bodies of enemies, and use an identical force to provide protection for themselves. Empowered with the mental force of their patron creature of vileness, these mad arcanists, called Arrows of Hell or Glass Spiders, claim the greatest crushing power of mind over matter.

Note: Some of this epic destiny’s features apply only to spells. If a character capable of using psionic powers, artificer infusions, or similar abilities takes this destiny, they should modify such features to apply to whatever form of supernatural ability they use.

Cosmic Transcendence of Good and Evil (Ex): She Who Lives In Her Name is above and beyond the concepts of morality or ethics, and so are those who follow in her footsteps. Defilers no longer have an alignment to speak of. It is not as simple as being of true neutral alignment, but of simply having none to speak of. Additionally, any attacks they make with weapons or attacks made through Mind-Hand Manipulation(see below) gain a +2 to attack rolls and +2d6 to damage rolls with only one neutral alignment component, and a +4 bonus to attack rolls and +4d6 damage to creatures of an extreme alignment. Any spell you cast that would effect only a single alignment, such as unholy blight, now affects everyone to full effect(with the exception of other Defiler Princes). Lastly, restrictions of alignment associated with things such as classes, magic items or anything similar no longer have any meaning, becoming trivial and cannot stop you from advancing in a class or using such a magic item.

Mind-Hand Manipulation (Su): The spinning orbs of She Who Lives In Her Name have no hands with which to grapple and impose order on the world. They are not so crude. This ability grants the Defiler the ability to use telekinesis at will as a supernatural ability with a caster level equal to their character level. However, unlike the normal telekinesis spell, the Defiler need not concentrate to maintain the effect and can manipulate 100 lb. per caster level instead of the normal 25 lb. Additionally, they can use this ability to create a weapon of pure mental force. This acts as the spiritual weapon spell, and the Defiler may only have a number of weapons created through this ability active equal to their Int or Cha modifier(whichever is higher).

Will-Crushing Onslaught (Su): To a Defiler Prince, there is no difference between physical and mental force, and the crushing of opposition must be absolute. At 24th level, whenever you deal any damage to a foe through any ability of your Mind-Hand Manipulation destiny feature you automatically deal an additional 20 points of damage to them, which cannot be overcome by damage reduction.

Counter-Conceptual Interposition (Su): Faced with any physical attack, the Principle of Hierarchy may reshape reality to produce a phenomenon or event capable of neutralizing the attack. At 27th level you may ignore an attack through force of will. You add a profane bonus to your armor class equal to your base Will save modifier. A number of times per day equal to your Int or Cha modifier(whichever is higher) you can reduce the damage done from any source by half.

Constructive Convergence of Principles (Su): The Multiverse is said to have been forged when in ultimate chaos, ultimate law spontaneously occurred and forged the gods and the great wheel. At 30th level, you gain the ability to manipulate this chaos-forged law to shape the world as though you were a god. All planes you are on except the Material plane count as being highly morphic. Additionally, at the cost of 10,000 XP, you may create a single living creature with an effective level of 20th or lower over the course of 24 hours. This creature is not controlled by you, but is considered loyal to you. In the face of any situation though, it may choose for itself. You may create more creatures beyond the first, but they each have the same XP cost as the first.

Immortality: Ego-Infused Pattern Primacy
Throughout your life, you used little more than force of will to accomplish your goals. This mental force will eventually become so powerful that it will survive, even when you do not. The psychic force will remain physical for eons, but will eventually become an abstract entity, not simply a force of a dead mind but the force of all minds acting as a single profane entity that exists in no place but the ego.
