== Ravaged By Orcus ==

Orcus, being a being of both undeath and hatred, generally creates ravaged to serve his purposes and command his undead, as well as to ensure that his ascent to godhood will happen without incident. Recently, the number of his ravaged has exceeded almost every other lord of the Abyss.

===Making a Ravaged By Orcus===

Ravaged by Orcus are capable commanders of the undead, as well as having significant necromantic capabilites.

'''Abilities:''' Charisma is an important ability score for this class, as many of its abilities depend on it. A high Dexterity and Constitution aren't amiss either.

'''Races:''' Only outsiders can become ravaged by Orcus.

'''Alignment:''' Only chaotic evil creatures can become ravaged by Orcus.

====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the ravaged by Orcus.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Ravaged by Orcus gain no additional proficiencies.

'''{{Anchor|Spellcasting or Bonus Feat}}:''' When a ravaged by Orcus gains their first class level, they can choose to either advance spellcasting or not to. If they choose to advance spellcasting, gaining a level in ravaged by Orcus counts as gaining a level in their previous class for the purposes of spells known and spells per day. If they had multiple classes capable of casting spells, they choose which one is advanced in this manner.

If they choose not to advance spellcasting, they gain a bonus feat at each level of ravaged by Orcus. They must meet all the prerequisites for a feat to take it. Once this choice is made, it cannot be changed, and remains constant no matter how many levels of ravaged by Orcus are taken.

'''{{Anchor|Abyssal Power}} {{Su}}:''' The mighty power of the Abyss flows through a ravaged by Orcus. If they have any spell-like abilities or spells, their caster level always equals their character level (or CR), and any DCs for these spells or spell-like abilities is worked out as if it were a supernatural ability (10 + 1/2 the ravaged by Orcus's character level or CR + the appropriate ability score modifier).

'''{{Anchor|Scion of Undeath}}:''' A ravaged by Orcus gains a close connection to the powers of undeath. This has different effects depending on whether the ravaged by Orcus is a spellcaster or not.

If the ravaged by Orcus is not a spellcaster, they gain the following spell-like abilities at the designated character level (or CR), each useable once per day. If their character level or CR exceeds the minimum character level or CR of the spell-like ability by 2 or 3, then they may use that ability 3/day instead, and if it exceeds the minimum character level or CR of the spell-like ability by 4 or more, they may use it at-will. These abilities have Charisma-based DCs and a caster level equal to the ravaged by Orcus's character level (or CR).

'''{{Anchor|Wake the Dead}} ([[Su]]):''' Any creature able to become a zombie or skeleton that is slain by a ravaged by Orcus' attacks, spells or spell-like abilities instantly becomes a [[SRD:Zombie|zombie]] or [[SRD:Skeleton|skeleton]] on their next turn. Although they aare able to choose which of the two forms is assumed, the ravaged by Orcus does not immediately control the newly created undead. If the ravaged by Orcus has another means of controlling undead, however, those created by this ability are still vulnerable to such effects.

'''{{Anchor|Deathly Hallows}} ([[Su]]):''' A 2nd level ravaged by Orcus has such a strong connection to the dead that it bolsters undead creatures around it, emanating a ''[[SRD:Desecrate|desecrate]]'' effect out to a 10-ft. radius around itself. This effect is permanent and cannot be dispelled (although the ravaged by Orcus may suppress it if necessary).

|}

If the ravaged by Orcus is a spellcaster, they add all of the above spells to their class list, and learn them when they reach the marked character level (or CR). They cast them as they would normally cast spells from their class. If the ravaged by Orcus had multiple spellcasting classes, apply this to all of them.



'''{{Anchor|Ravage Form}} ([[Sp]]):''' As a full-round action, a 2nd level ravaged by Orcus may bestow Orcus' ravage on a creature eligible to gain a level. That creature gains its first level in the ravaged by Orcus racial paragon class. If the ravaged by Orcus attempts to ravage an unwilling creature, it receives a Will save to resist (Charisma-based DC).

====Ex-Ravaged By Orcus====

Orcus' hatred for traitors knows no bounds. However, before their imminent destructon, ex-ravaged by Orcus lose access to any spells, spell-like abilities and supernatural abilities from this class, and cannot continue to advance in it. They may [[SRD:Atonement|atone]] if they want to continue advancing and get their powers back (although forgiveness is a foreign concept to Orcus).
