Ravaged By Dagon[edit]

Those who are ravaged by Dagon are his eyes and his ears, going to places Dagon cannot to find more secrets and learn more forbidden knowledge, before disappearing into half-sane myths and shadows where none can find them.

Making a Ravaged By Dagon[edit]

Ravaged by Dagon are spies, loremasters and warriors in equal measure.

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 Dagon.

Alignment: Only chaotic evil creatures can become ravaged by Dagon.

Class Features[edit]

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

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Ravaged by Dagon become proficient in whips, and can always deal lethal damage with them. They gain no additional armour or shield proficiencies.

Spellcasting or Bonus Feat: When a ravaged by Dagon 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 Dagon 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 Dagon. 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 Dagon are taken.

Abyssal Power (Su): The mighty power of the Abyss flows through a ravaged by Dagon. 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 Dagon's character level or CR + the appropriate ability score modifier).

Scion of Knowledge: A ravaged by Dagon gains a close connection to the powers of destruction. This has different effects depending on whether the ravaged by Dagon is a spellcaster or not.

If the ravaged by Dagon 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 Dagon's character level (or CR).

Spell-Like Abilities Gained By Ravaged By Dagon
Minimum Character Level Spell-Like Ability Gained Equivalent Spell Level
1 Clairaudience/clairvoyance 1st
3 Detect thoughts 2nd
5 True strike (useable as a swift action) 3rd
7 Scrying 4th
9 True seeing 5th
11 Find the path 6th
13 Greater scrying 7th
15 Brain spider 8th
17 Foresight 9th

If the ravaged by Dagon 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 Dagon had multiple spellcasting classes, apply this to all of them.

Many Minds, One Mind (Su): Thanks to their improved connection to Dagon, a ravaged by Dagon can communicate with Dagon and other ravaged by Dagon telepathically, across any distance and even across planar boundaries.

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

Dagon's Knowledge (Sp): 2nd level ravaged by Dagon get frequent flashes of insight that can give them answers to questions they couldn't have possibly known, but aren't always right (or sane). They can use augury as an at-will spell-like ability, except that it only requires a swift action.

Ex-Ravaged By Dagon[edit]

As a master of secrets, Dagon rarely misses treachery, and the outcome for the traitor is best left uncontemplated. However, before this occurs, they lose access to any spells, spell-like abilities and supernatural abilities from this class, and cannot continue to advance in it. They may atone if they want to continue advancing and get their powers back (however, after Dagon's done with them, they'll probably wish for death instead).
