Disciple of Lucifer (Prestige Class)

[Fortinbro]

This class is based on the disciples found in Book of Vile Darkness. In my setting Lucifer has replaced Asmodeus and a few other rules of the nine hells have been replaced as well. I made made the edit that all disciples must be lawful evil instead of evil (any).



A disciple of Lucifer is a charismatic leader who seeks to unite and control others through subversion.

Class Features


Dark Cardinal: A 1st level disciple of Lucifer is treated as though they are under the effect of a permanent undetectable alignment spell except they can choose to give any attempt to detect their alignment a false result of their choosing. The disciple of Lucifer is immediately made aware of such attempts and their source.


Dominate Person: Twice per day, a 2nd-level disciple of Lucifer can produce an effect identical to that of a dominate person spell cast by a 15th-level caster.


Infernal Hymn +2: At 3rd level a disciple of Lucifer can choose as a free action to cause disembodied infernal singing to permeate the air. All lawful evil allies who can hear the chanting receive a +2 morale bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, and skill checks. This ability lasts for one round per disciple of Lucifer level.


Charm Person Mass: Twice per day, a 4th-level disciple of Lucifer can produce an effect identical to that of a charm person mass spell cast by a 15th-level caster.


Lead the Blind: At 5th level a disciple of Lucifer can attract good aligned cohorts and take no leadership penalty for attracting good aligned followers so long as they do not realize the disciple is evil.


Infernal Hymn +4: At 6th level a disciple of Lucifer's Infernal hymn provides a +4 morale bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, and skill checks instead.


False Savior: At 7th level a disciple of Lucifer can cast spells with the good descriptor even though they are not good aligned.


Hold Person Mass: Twice per day, a 8th-level disciple of Lucifer can produce an effect identical to that of a hold person mass spell cast by a 15th-level caster. When held by this spell those affected bow in submission.


Summon Pit Fiend: A 9th-level disciple of Lucifer can summon 1 Pit Fiend once per day. This functions as a summon monster cast by a 15th-level caster.


Black Pope: At 10th level a disciple of Lucifer ascends to the highest rank of Lucifer's church and receives his personal protection. He is affected by a permament mind-blank effect except that they can choose to give said spells false results instead of blocking them. An attempt to determine their alignment provides the result of their choice, an attempt to scry on them reveals an alternate vision of their choice, etc. The disciple of Lucifer is immediately made aware of such attempts and their source.

The second level ability seems a little over powered. How about 2/week?
Also, Black Pope should be a little stronger considering its the last ability...how about adding a 1/year miracle or something?

first of all, this link will teach you to make tables. It makes the entire thing easier to read.

Secondly, I agree with black pope being a little underwhelming for a level 16 ability (Especially when you can get it for a fraction of your WBL). Maybe you could do something like give all of your Lawful evil allies within 100 feet of you the active benefit of your infernal hymn, and now when you activate it a number of lawful good allies equal to your charisma modifier (minimum 1) gain a +2 bonus to their willsave and beastland ferocity, effectively making them unkillable until the end of the duration.
