Class Features
All the following are class features of the Blighter class.
  • Weapon and Armour Proficiency: Blighter are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, and light, medium and heavy armour, as well as shields.
  • Spells: A Blighter gains the ability to cast a number of divine spells, which are drawn from the Blighter spell list. A Blighter must choose and prepare his spells in advance. To prepare or cast a spell, a Blighter must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a Blighter’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the Blighter’s Wisdom modifier. Like other spellcasters, a Blighter can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Blighter. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Wisdom score. The Blighter does not have access to any domain spells or granted powers, as a cleric does. A Blighter prepares and casts spells the way a cleric does, though he cannot lose a prepared spell to cast a cure spell in its place. A Blighter may prepare and cast any spell on the Blighter spell list, provided that he can cast spells of that level, but he must choose which spells to prepare during his daily meditation. A Blighter can channel stored spell energy into summoning spells that she hasn’t prepared ahead of time. She can "lose" a prepared spell in order to cast any Summon Nature's Ally spell of the same level or lower. See Undying Fauna for details.
  • Defiling: The Blighter is a defiler, and cannot cast spells without defiling.
  • Undying Fauna: Starting at 1st level, whenever a Blighter castes a Summon Nature's Ally spell, the summoned creature has the corpse creature template (BoVD 185) applied to it.
  • Tainted Aura (Su): The blighter is so tainted by his destructive ways that it is noticeable. People feel uncomfortable and wary when you are present and animals whimper when you approach. You suffer a –1 circumstance penalty to Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, and Handle Animal checks for every even level of Blighter you have. Likewise, you receive a +1 circumstance bonus to Intimidate checks for every odd level of Blighter gained. The tainted aura has a range of 5 feet per Blighter level.
  • Razing Bonus Feat: At every even level you gain a bonus feat from the list of Razing feats. You must still meet all the prequisites of the feat in question.
  • Sustenance (Ex): At 2nd level and higher, a blighter no longer needs food or water to survive.
  • Blightfire: Starting at 2nd level, as a standard action, a Blighter can unleash a scorching blast of blightfire. This effect deals 1d4 points of negative energy damage and 1d4 points of fire damage to all creatures in a 10 foot burst (Reflex half; save DC is 10 + 1/2 class level + Wis modifier). Range is 10 feet per class level, and the damage increases by 1d4 points of negative energy damage and 1d4 points of fire damage at every even level to a max of 10d4 at 20th level. Creatures that fail the save catch fire.
  • Contagious Touch (Su): At 3rd level and higher, a blighter can produce an effect like that of a contagious touch spell once per day. She gains one use per day of this ability for every two additional blighter levels she acquires.
  • Speak with Dead Animal (Sp): Starting at 4th level, a blighter can converse with dead animals. This ability functions like a speak with dead spell cast by a cleric of a level equal to the blighter's class levels, except that it affects only corpses of animal creatures. It is usable at will.
  • Undead Wild Shape (Su): At 5th level, the Blighter gains a version of the wild shape ability. Undead wild shape functions like the druid’s wild shape ability, except that the Blighter adds a version of the corpse creature template to the forms he chooses to transform into. The Blighter’ form is altered as follows:
    — Type changes to undead.
    — Natural armor bonus is increased based on size: Tiny or smaller +0, Small +1, Medium-size +2, Large +3, Huge +4, Gargantuan +6, Colossal +11
    — +4 Strength, -2 Dexterity, no Constitution score.
    — Winged shapes retain the ability to fly. However, maneuverability becomes clumsy.
    — Darkvision (Ex): The Blighter gains darkvision out to 60 feet when wildshaped.
    — Immunity to Cold (Ex): Undead wild shape grants the blighter immunity to cold damage.
    — Damage reduction 5/bludgeoning.

    Unlike a normal corpse creature, Undead Wild Shape does not grant a slam attack.

    At 7th level, the Blighter gains the ability to change into a large animal. At 10th, a tiny animal. At 12th, plants. At 15th, huge animals. At 17th, small, medium, and large elementals. At 20th, huge elementals. When the Blighter gains the ability to Wild Shape into Plants or Elementals, he applies the undead changes detailed above to those creatures as well. At 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels he gains two uses of his undead Wild Shape, with each use lasting for one hour. Treat this ability as Wild Shape for all prerequisites.
  • Animate Dead Animal (Sp): This ability, gained at 6th level, functions like an animate dead spell, except that it affects only corpses of animal creatures and requires no material component. It is usable once per day.
  • Plague (Su): At 8th level and higher, a blighter can spread disease over a large area. This ability functions like the contagious touch ability, except that no attack roll is required and it affects all targets the blighter designates within a 20-foot radius. This abilities uses the same pool of uses per day as contagious touch.
  • Burning Disease (Su): On reaching 9th level, your Blightfire attack takes on a hideous disease. Opponents who fail the save against your blightfire are struck by a contagion spell cast at your caster level (choose the disease randomly). The creature does not get an initial save against the disease. In addition, any spell you cast that deals fire damage also inflicts contagion.
  • Undying Horde (Ex): All undead animals created by a Blighter gain a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity and 2 additional hit points per Hit Die. In addition, when a Blighter uses the animate dead animal ability to create undead, she can control 4 + her Charisma bonus HD worth of undead animals per class level (rather than the 4 HD per level normally granted by the ability).
  • (Ex):
  • (Ex):
  • Permanent Dustbowl (Ex): You are surrounded by a continual effect equivalent to a Dustbowl spell, although you can suppress or activate the effect as a full-round action.
