Ravaged By Obox-ob[edit]

In his desire for vengeance and the reclamation of what he truly believes is his, Obox-ob often bestows his ravage. Those he ravages tend to have a strong propensity towards vengeance and poison, and quite frequently both.

Making a Ravaged By Obox-ob[edit]

Wielding the power of their patron, ravaged by Obox-ob are ready to take revenge on those that have wronged them - whether truly or not - and often do so by poisoning their bodies or minds.

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 Obox-ob.

Alignment: Only chaotic evil creatures can become ravaged by Obox-ob.

Class Features[edit]

All of the following are class features of the ravaged by Obox-ob.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Ravaged by Obox-ob become proficient in rapiers. They gain no additional armour or shield proficiencies.

Spellcasting or Bonus Feat: When a ravaged by Obox-ob 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 Obox-ob 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 Obox-ob. 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 Obox-ob are taken.

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

Scion of Vengeance: A ravaged by Obox-ob gains a close connection to the powers of vengeance. This has different effects depending on whether the ravaged by Obox-ob is a spellcaster or not.

If the ravaged by Obox-ob 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 Obox-ob's character level (or CR).

Spell-Like Abilities Gained By Ravaged By Obox-ob
Minimum Character Level Spell-Like Ability Gained Equivalent Spell Level
1 Greater dispel magic 1st
3 Shatter 2nd
5 Hijack spell 3rd
7 Bestow curse 4th
9 Lesser planar binding (demons only) 5th
11 Contingency 6th
13 Power word kill 7th
15 Discern location 8th
17 Shadows of the mage-lords 9th

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

Touch of Venom (Ex): A ravaged by Obox-ob's desire for vengeance is so great that is physically seeps out as a poison that ruins the body and mind. If the ravaged by Obox-ob has natural attacks, one of these becomes a carrier for this poison. If they lack any natural attacks (or only possess an unarmed strike) they gain a slam attack, dealing 1d6 damage for a Medium creature.

The poison has a Con-based DC, and deals 2 Constitution and 2 Wisdom damage as both initial and secondary damage. The poison is so potent that it can even affect those who are immune, but undead and constructs are still immune to it.

Greater Touch of Venom (Ex): From 2nd level, ravaged by Obox-ob become even more potent poisoners. Their poison now deals 4 Constitution and 4 Wisdom damage as both initial and secondary damage instead.

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

Ex-Ravaged By Obox-ob[edit]

Those who cease being chaotic and evil while being ravaged by Obox-ob quickly learn why betraying the Lord of Vengeance is a bad idea. However, before they are repaid twenty-fold for their treachery, 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 (although Obox-ob doesn't take this kind of thing kindly).
