The Amulet of DeceptionDr319 is a cheap item that gives you an alternate appearance when scryed upon (no save).

Anathema is a 9th level spell that you may only cast on a member of your own faith.

The range is "does the other guy exist and is he lower level than me?" If that holds true, and the DM doesn't say no...

The target permanently loses the ability to cast Divine spells, and to draw upon his deity's power for any sort of divine-sourced class features (including, explicitly, the ability to turn or rebuke undead.)

Members of the same faith aren't allowed to talk to, look at, or acknowledge your victim. If they die, they immediately are sent to the Wall of the Faithless in Faerun.

It may be removed by them either changing their faith (FIND A NEW GOD, HERETIC), or by receiving an atonement spell from a spellcaster of higher level than you.

To clarify: a spellcaster of higher level than you, who instinctively knows to ignore that heretic over there.

I swear, this spell is just dickish in so many ways...

EDIT: Advice is such a fun spell; it's Suggestion, except without a wordcount limit and able to force people to kill themselves.

Sure, they get a second save, but that is highly abuseable...

The Fierce Mind feat lets a shifter expend a use of shifting to negate a fear effect targeting them. It's a way to cheat the requirements of Craven.

you could try to bypass it via 'immune to mind-affecting effects' similar to how a Dread Witch cannot bypass mind-affecting immunity

I know people give Truenaming a hard time because there's a feat that makes it harder to use your class features, but I may have found one that is worse. Behold, Snatch Trophey from CoR:

(click to show/hide)

Other than doing 1d6 damage at will as a free action to a dying enemy (and yes, it has to be an enemy in the negative HP values), this feat provides literally no benefit. It serves as a prerequisite for another feat, but that one is fairly garbage (it creates a fear effect 1/round when you use the Snatch Trophy feat, and is vastly inferior to other fear effects).


Who thought this was a good idea for a feat?

snatch up ears of your enemies to show your king as proof of your deeds.

snatch up the scalps of of their head and recieve payment for killing them.

would the entire top of their head count as a small body part? or their throat? eyeballs?

Remember, you can only do 1d6 damage.  Also you can cut parts off of dead things without a feat.

I'm reading it in the ballpark of a Heighten metapsi(magic).

To clarify, the reading your advocating is that it allows you to manifest a 3rd level power?

Yes.

Other than the lack of more specific language
like the 3.0e Heighten Metapsi, we do know
the level of the spell equivalent.

1d6 damage is dealt, but they might bleed to death when you slit their throats

from Knightly Orders of Ansalon's Blood Oath Archer PrC...

Quote
Blood Oath Archery (Ex) Your skill with a bow is
enhanced by the fear you instill in those who witness it.
At 1st level, your training and focus provide you with a +1
insight bonus to attack rolls with any longbow or shortbow
(including composite bows). This bonus increases to +2 at
3rd level and +3 at 5th level.
In addition, you may attempt to demoralize an
opponent (see the Intimidate skill description in the
Player’s Handbook) as part of any full attack made with
a longbow or shortbow. You add the Blood Oath archery
bonus to your Intimidate check when attempting to
demoralize. This check takes place after you have made
your full attack and affects only the target of your attack.

[w Imperious Command] oops i made you cower in fear before i shoot you at a much lower AC ;)

Intimidating Charge feat in the book gives this ability to demoralize as part of a mounted charge.

That's DM Fiat, and anyways they are already bleeding to death because they have to be in negative hp for you to use the feat on them.

well of course, because it depends on what the DM considers a 'small body part'

Regardless of what your DM says you can cut off, mechanically it deals 1d6 damage. You DM might say you can take their throat as a trophy, but it doesn't kill them - it deals 1d6 damage.

of course by RAW yeah, but it would make sense that they would bleed out depending on where you cut. but that's of course up to the DM

I kinda want to argue that if you reduce someone to negative HP, you can use the feat on them from then on even if they recover or are healed.
...
But that would be dumb.
