Idolater
A variant of the False Prophet class, an Idolater is actually a (usually) genuine worshiper of a "false deity". The deity may be an actual but forgotten deity, a dead god or it might simply be a blasphemous graven image with not being behind it. Unlike a Cleric the Idolater do not draw spells through faith and work, rather they take an insidious shortcut through abominable means.

Level: 1st, 10th

Benefit: An Idolater gain access to the following class features: Prerequisite Change: An Idolater ignore the special clause in order to enter the False Prophet prestige class.
Spellcasting: A Idolater cast spells spontaneously unlike a normal False Prophet, much like a Sorcerer. Her spellcasting is based on her Charisma instead of Wisdom. She do not have spell known, instead she has 'spell ingrained', which can be changed whenever she use Leech Divinity. She possess one 'spell ingrained' for each level she can cast and an additional amount of spells ingrained of any level equal to half her class level.

The source should be chosen with the DM and player's approval.

If the source is sapient is is usually capable of cutting away the idolater's power, much like a deity would.
The only requirement of the source is that it cannot grant spells to divine caster normally. This only apply when she select it, if it later become able to she keep all of her powers.
Grand Priest: A 10th level Idolater has become fully immersed in her idol. As long as the Source of the Idol exist she no longer age and may now sponsor actual Clerics and other divine caster of her idol.
