Pale Master
:: Pale Master ::
(PRESTIGE CLASS)
Necromancy is usually a poor choice for arcane spellcasters. Those who really want to master the deathless arts almost always pursue divine means. However, an alternative exists for those who desire power over undead, without losing too much of their arcane power. Enter the pale master, who draws on a font of special lore that provides a macabre power all its own.
- Hit Die: d6.
- Proficiencies: A pale master does not gain any additional weapon or armor proficiencies.
- Skill Points: 2+ Int Modifier.
REQUIREMENTS:
Alignment: Any nongood.
Lore: 8 ranks.
Feat: Skill Focus: Lore
Spells: Ability to cast arcane spells of 3rd level or higher.
CLASS FEATURES:
Level
1: Bone Skin I - Add +2 to AC. This increases by another +2 for every four levels of Pale Master.
2: Animate Dead - Once per day spell-like ability.
3: Darkvision - Gain Darkvision ability.
4: Summon Undead - Twice per day spell-like ability summons an undead creature.
5: Deathless Vigor - +3 Hit Points per level
6: Undead Graft I - Gains undead arm that twice per day can paralyze.
7: Tough as Bone - Immune to hold, paralyze, and stunning.
8: Undead Graft II - Paralyze touch can be used three times a day.
9: Summon Greater Undead - Once per day spell-like ability summons a powerful undead.
10: Deathless Mastery - Immune to critical hits.

BONUS SPELLS
At every odd level gained in the pale master class, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in a spellcasting class he belonged to before adding the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained, except for an increased effected level of spellcasting.
