Necrosis Feats

Whisper your lamentations to the world.

Prerequisite: Death sphere.

Benefit: You gain +1 spell point. Whenever you speak, you can choose to broadcast your voice to all creatures within a medium range, allowing anyone to hear you speak as though you were adjacent to them. Attempts to muffle your voice through mundane methods (such as covering your mouth, being gagged, etc.) fail to silence you and allow you to provide verbal components through such attempts to silence you, such as those required by the Verbal Casting general drawback. Magical, supernatural, and extraordinary silencing effects still function normally.

You can add verbal components when casting any sphere effect with the curse or death descriptor or that deals negative energy damage, causing you to be clearly heard by anyone as though broadcasting your voice. If you do, creatures that can hear you broadcast your voice and fail their saving throw against the sphere effect take a -2 on attack rolls against you for a number of rounds equal to the number of necrosis feats you possess. If the effect does not have a saving throw, an affected creature attempts a Will saving throw against the sphere effect’s regular DC instead.

Four Necrosis Feats: When broadcasting your voice, you have greater control over the pitch and distance, from a minimum of 30 feet, to a maximum of long range. If you spend a spell point when adding verbal components to a sphere effect with this feat, creatures who fail their saving throw take a -2 penalty on all attack rolls, not just attack rolls against you.

You can reverse the flow of your body’s energies, changing what will heal and harm you.

Prerequisite: Death sphere.

Benefit: You gain +1 spell point. You can spend a spell point as an immediate action to reverse your reaction to positive and negative energy for 1 round per necrosis feat you possess - a living creature would now be healed by negative energy and harmed by positive energy, while an undead creature would be be healed by positive energy and harmed by negative energy. Using this ability again while it is active returns you to your normal state.

Four Necrosis Feats: As a full-round action, you can reverse your reaction to positive and negative energy for 24 hours without spending a spell point. Using this ability again while it is active still returns to your normal state.

Your blood flow slows and heartbeat grows erratic without significant harm to you, increasing your ability to survive freezing temperatures and electric shocks.

Prerequisite: Death sphere.

Benefit: You gain +1 spell point. You can spend a spell point as an immediate action to gain cold resistance 5 and electricity resistance 5 for 1 round. For each necrosis feat you possess beyond this one, the cold and electricity resistances increase by 5 and the duration increases by 1 round.

Four Necrosis Feats: You always have cold resistance 10 and electricity resistance 10, and when you spend a spell point, you gain immunity to cold and electricity for a number of rounds equal to the number of necrosis feats you possess.

Your nerves fail, increasing your pain tolerance and general resilience.

Prerequisite: Death sphere.

Benefit: You gain +1 spell point. You can spend a spell point as an immediate action to gain a +1 bonus to natural armor and DR/- for 1 round. For each necrosis feat you possess beyond this one, the natural armor bonus and damage reduction increase by 1 and the duration increases by 1 round.

Four Necrosis Feats: You gain half the normal benefit of this feat at all times (increasing to the full benefit when you spend a spell point).

Their suffering is your salvation. Break their souls across the iron that is your will.

Prerequisite: Death sphere.

Benefit: You gain +1 spell point. You can spend a spell point as an immediate action whenever another creature within close range fails a saving throw against a death or negative energy effect to infuse yourself with their shredded life force, gaining a number of temporary hit points equal to 1/2 your character level plus 1d6 per necrosis feat you possess. These temporary hit points last for 1 minute per necrosis feat you possess. You cannot use this feat if the affected creature has fewer Hit Dice than half your character level.

Four Necrosis Feats: You no longer need to spend a spell point when using this feat to gain temporary hit points. You may spend a spell point as a free action to dismiss the temporary hit points from this feat, healing for that same amount. Treat this healing as a negative energy effect, healing normally even if you could not heal from negative energy.

Prerequisite: Death sphere.

Benefit: You gain +1 spell point. You gain blindsense 15 feet against bleeding creatures. If you pay 1 spell point as a swift action, you can afflict such creatures directly through their blood with ghost strikes for 1 round regardless of line of sight or effect. For each necrosis feat you possess beyond this one, increase the range of your blindsense against bleeding creatures by 15 feet and the duration when you spend a spell point by 1 round.

Four Necrosis Feats: When you spend 1 spell point as a swift action to activate this feat, you can affect bleeding creatures within the blindsense range granted by this feat with any talent that requires a touch attack, Fortitude save, or Will save regardless of distance, line of sight, or line of effect.

Your destructive powers and undead ambitions feed into each other.

Prerequisites: Death sphere, Terrain Casting drawback, non-good alignment.

Benefit: For the purpose of determining how many feats of each type you have, you treat your Defiler feats as Necrosis feats and vice versa.

Four Defiler/Necrosis Feats: You gain one bonus spell point for every 2 Defiler or Necrosis feats you possess.

Your body is sustained by necromantic power.

Prerequisite: Death sphere.

Benefit: As an immediate action, you may add your Charisma modifier as a bonus to a single Fortitude saving throw. If you would already add your Charisma modifier to the saving throw, you instead gain a bonus to the saving throw equal to the number of necrosis feats you possess.

Four Necrosis Feats: You always add your Charisma modifier (or number of necrosis feats) as a bonus to Fortitude saving throws. Once per day as an immediate action, when you would be reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, you may spend a spell point to gain temporary hit points equal to your Hit Dice times your Charisma modifier. These temporary hit points last for one minute.

Your emotional and reflex responses fade, allowing you to shrug off distracting conditions.

Prerequisite: Death sphere.

Benefit: You gain +1 spell point. You can spend a spell point as an immediate action to gain a +2 bonus to saving throws against bleed, death effects, disease, energy drain, exhaustion, fatigue, mind-affecting effects, paralysis, poison, sleep effects, and stunning for 1 round. For each necrosis feat you possess beyond this one, the bonus and duration increase by 1.

Four Necrosis Feats: When you use this feat, you also gain a new saving throw against one of the above effects currently affecting you (your choice).

Prerequisites: Blood sphere and 5th caster level; or Death sphere and 5th caster level; or Duelist sphere and base attack bonus +5; or Alchemy sphere and base attack bonus +5; Death sphere (Shroud), Virulent Ailment (plague).

Benefit: You gain +1 spell point. Your diseases carry a trace of your necrotic magic. When you afflict a creature with a disease through the use of another plague feat, you may also mark that creature with necrotic energy as per the Shroud talent. Marked creatures suffering from your diseases do not count against the maximum amount of marks you may have at a time.

Four Necrosis Feats: When you reanimate a creature you marked through the use of this feat, the undead created is afflicted with a single disease made with your plague feats that it suffered from at the time of its death (if the creature suffered from multiple diseases, pick one). Whenever that undead strikes with a natural attack, the victim must succeed at a saving throw against the disease or suffer from it as normal. You may mark creatures afflicted with a disease this way, as per the Shroud talent.

Your soul begins to loosen its grip on your body, preparing itself to flee if threatened.

Prerequisite: Death sphere.

Benefit: You gain +1 spell point. By spending 8 hours creating an intense mystical connection between you and an object, you can designate it as your phylactery. When you would die/ be destroyed from hit point loss, you can spend a spell point as an immediate action to transfer your soul to your phylactery, as long as it is in close range. Your soul stays in its phylactery for 1 round. During this time, your body may be healed, as long as your phylactery remains unbroken.

If your new hit point total is greater than a negative amount equal to your Constitution score (or greater than 0, if you are undead), then you come back to life and stabilizes at your new hit point total. You otherwise remain dead. If you are brought back to life in this manner, you gain a temporary negative level. For each necrosis feat you possess beyond this one, your soul remains in its phylactery for one additional round. Your phylactery has a number of hit points and break DC equal to 5 times the number of necrosis feats you possess, and a hardness equal to triple your necrosis feats.

Four Necrosis Feats: Your soul stays in its phylactery for up to 1 minute per necrosis feat, and your phylactery functions as long as it is within long range.
