====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the Adversarialist. 

''The DCs of any of the Adversarialist's ability is  10 + 1/2 HD + the Adversarialist's [[Charisma]] modifier.''

'''{{Anchor|Spellcasting}}:''' At each level beside the first, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a Adversarialist, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

If an Adversarialist do not possess spellcasting, she may instead gain a bonus feat at 2nd, 4th and 8th levels.  

'''{{Anchor|Partial Class Advancement}}:''' The Adversarialist gives advancement to pre-existing class features, such as sneak attack, bardic songs per day (but not bardic music known), caster level (but not spells known), and initiator level (but not new maneuvers) to the class which she previously belonged to. It does not grant new class features, nor does it grant spells per day, spells known, or similar abilities (except through it actual spellcasting advancement).

'''{{Anchor|Divine Renegade}} {{Ex}}:''' The Adversarialist isn't a friend of the Gods and it servant, she gain a +1 bonus to attack roll and +2 bonus on damage roll against creatures with divine spellcasting, deities, godblooded creature or outsider servant of deities. 

If an Adversarialist is a divine caster she no longer need am holy or unholy symbol to cast spells and she no longer need to attempt saving throws against her own spell (as per her Apostate<Sup>[[Publication:Elder Evils|ElE]]</sup>) feat. If she has domains, she may trade one of her domain for the [[Atheism (3.5e Cleric Domain)|Atheism]] id she does not have it. She no longer is at risk from losing her powers by changing alignment or offending her God, although she must follow any other code of conduct of her class.

'''{{Anchor|Insidious Tongue}} {{Ex}} and {{Su}}:''' A Adversarialist train herself to charm, deceive and provoke. Being able to stir disorder with words alone, or quell meaningless fights is a prime skill for her goals. An Adversarialist gain 1 + half her class level as a bonus on [[SRD:Bluff Skill|Bluff]], [[SRD:Diplomacy Skill|Diplomacy]] and [[SRD:Intimidate Skill|Intimidate]].

She take a -10 penalty to her [[SRD:Bluff Skill|Bluff]] modifier while doing so, as she must use half-truth and similar technique to navigate the questions. 

At 5th level, the Adversarialist may replicate the effect of [[SRD:Charm Monster|''charm monster'']] to any creature who can understand her. This require 1 minute of uninterrupted conversation. If a creature succeed on the [[Will]] save they are immune to any further attempt for 24 hours. This is a supernatural ability. 

At 7th level, the Adversarialist can instill a [[SRD:Suggestion|''suggestion'']] as a standard action, after the suggestion is completed the creature  must make another save or be unable to remember performing the suggestion.

If she is made [[SRD:Fightened|Frighted]] or [[SRD:Panicked|Panicked]] she is only [[SRD:Shaken|Shaken]] instead. 

'''{{Anchor|Sunder Divinity}} {{Ex}}:''' A 6th level Adversarialist is able to smite the Gods, or at least their servants. As a standard action, she may make an attack at her highest attack bonus and charge it with anti-divine energy. If she successfully strike a creature with divine spellcasting she may deal an additional 2 point of damage per character level and force a [[Will]] save or lose spells as if they took a negative level. If the creature is a God, is God-Blooded or an oustider who is the servant of a deity it take the extra damage even if it does not possess divine spellcasting and as vile damage.
