Fel-Sworn

The servants of the Burning Legion are a myriad of darkly motivated men and women, servants of some demonic will. Most of those who have become slaves to the Burning Legion have done so by following mystical paths that are not only perilous for one's body, but also for one's soul. Fel-Sworns are those who have begun to transform due to their exposure to the energies of the Burning Legion. Their bodies have warped and twisted to take on a new shape as their souls become more and more evil. While they might start out resembling normal members of their race, their demonic features develop until they are terrifying beings, half humanoid and half demon.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Fel-Sworns do not gain any additional weapon or armor proficiencies.

Fel Corruption (Su): For every level of fel-sworn the character has, his alignment takes one step toward an evil alignment in line with his current alignment (lawful, neutral or chaotic). For instance, if Barg-gol the orcish warrior/Fel-Sworn is chaotic good at 1st level, at 2nd level his alignment will shift to chaotic neutral, and at 3rd level his alignment will shift to chaotic evil. Fel Boon: At each level, a fel-sworn gains the opportunity to select a special trait from among those described below. T reat fel natural weapons as magical weapons for the purposes of striking creatures with damage resistance.

Fel Breath (Ex): The fel-sworn can actually breathe a burst of fel fire from his lungs. This cone-shaped burst of green flame deals 1d4 points of fel fire damage per level of Fel-Sworn. A successful Reflex saving throw (DC of 10 + the fel-sworn's level + the fel-sworn's Charisma modifier) results in half damage.

Fel Fangs (Ex): The fel-sworn grows a pair of fangs. These natural weapons inflict 1d4 + Strength modifier points of fel piercing damage.

Fel Talons (Ex): The fel-sworn grows a pair of long black talons. These natural weapons inflict 1d6 + Strength modifier points of fel slashing damage.

Fel Wings (Ex): Wings sprout from the back of the fel- sworn. While at first these wings are relatively useless, for every level that the fel-sworn chooses to take this power, the wings grow in effectiveness. The wings begin with a maneuverability of clumsy and a flight speed of 20 feet (4 squares). Each time the fel-sworn takes fel wings, he may increase either the maneuverability by one class (for instance from clumsy to poor) or the speed by +10 feet.

Hellish Growth (Ex): The fel-sworn grows in size to the next size category. The fel-sworn's space and reach change as appropriate for his new size category (see Table 12-4: Creature Size and Scale). In addition to the standard changes for size, the fel-sworn gains +4 Strength, +2 Stamina and -2 Spirit.

Horns (Ex): T wisted horns grow from the fel-sworn's brow. These horns are natural weapons that inflict 1d6 + Strength modifier points of fel bludgeoning damage.

Scabrous Hide (Ex): The fel-sworn's hide grows scaly and thick. He gains a +3 enhancement bonus to natural armor. He also suffers a -3 penalty on Charisma- based skill checks, except for Intimidate.

Spiny Tail (Ex): The spiny tail of the fel-sworn aids in balance and grants him a +2 bonus on Balance checks. The tail also sports sharp spines. This natural weapon deals 1d6 points of piercing damage (+ Strength modifier) in addition to looking pretty cool.

Darkvision (Ex): The fel-sworn gains darkvision out to 60 feet.
