Possessions none
Aligned Spellcaster Jergal has traded away his ability to summon a familiar to imbue his every spell with the power of his conviction. He casts all spells (except those with the chaos descriptor) as law spells. Spells he casts that target chaotic creatures are cast at +1 caster level (+2 if they have the chaotic subtype). Area of effect and other spells that affect such creatures without targeting them do not gain this bonus.
Alter Reality Jergal is an embodiment of divine power and reality is his to alter as he sees fit. This effectively functions as the wish spell that costs him no XP and requires a standard action to implement. In effect, this allows Jergal to duplicate any effect as long as it relates to his area of influence. For example, he can duplicate any class skill, ability or spell that relates to protection of the dead. He can create any negative energy-based effect and summon guardians to protect and defend the sanctity of death.
The Lord of the End of Everything can create temporary, nonmagical objects, magic items or creatures for up to 4 hours, and can also create permanent nonmagical objects. He can also render a magical or supernatural effect permanent and reshape landscapes. The limits to these abilities are fully defined in Deities and Demigods.
Alter Size As a free action, Jergal can assume any size from Fine to Colossal. He also can change the size of up to 400 pounds of objects he touches.
Altering the Course (Su) Once per day, Jergal can add a +20 bonus on any single attack roll, skill check, or ability check he makes. He cannot transfer this bonus to another character by any means. This supernatural ability requires no action and lasts only the duration of the single check.
Avatar Jergal can have up to two avatars at any given time. The Lord of the End of Everything appears as a wizened and insubstantial mummy of some ancient alien race. His skin is gray and drawn tightly across his frame. His bulbous, yellow, lifeless eyes and insectoid mandibles resemble a cross between a humanoid and a praying mantis. His nose and ears are barely distinguishable from his elongated skull. Most of his body is covered with an utterly lightless cloak that seems to absorb the very atmosphere that envelops it. His white gloves cover elongated, claw-like hands and forearms. He always clutches a thick scroll covered in an intricate and incomprehensible script and a freshly inked quill in his hands.
The Pitiless One can also take on the form of a mortal man with a great white beard, bent with extreme age yet holding intelligence and a driving energy within his sunken eyes.
Divine Blast Jergal can create a ray of divine power that extends for up to 4 miles, dealing up to 20d12 points of damage, as a ranged touch attack with no saving throw. Jergal can unleash a divine blast 18 times per day, and alter the visual, auditory and sensation-based qualities of his divine blast as he desires. Jergal’s divine blasts usually manifest as the ominous sound of a heavy book being closed.
Divine Shield As a free action 17 times per day, Jergal can create a shield that lasts 10 minutes and stops 180 points of damage from attacks. Once the shield stops that much damage, it collapses. Any damage Jergal is naturally immune to does not count towards the shield’s limits.
Lord of the End of Everything (unique salient divine ability) Jergal embodies the inevitable end of all things, and the entropic energies of the Negative Material Plane infuse his divine essence. The touch of Jergal’s white gloved hand is similarly infused with these necrotic energies and thus carries an energy drain effect, inflicting 1d8 negative levels with each strike, which is doubled on a critical hit. His Void Strike ability is similarly enhanced and deals the same number of negative levels as his touch.
Jergal’s own body is a gateway to entropy itself. As a standard action, he can sweep his cloak around him and extend its dimensions to a radius of 40 feet centered on him, forcing all creatures within range to make a Reflex save (DC 64) or be engulfed and suffer 4 negative levels. Any creature engulfed by Jergal’s cloak must also succeed at a Will save (DC 64) or be banished to the Negative Energy Plane to die there.
Finally, Jergal’s ability to channel the necrotic energies of the Negative Material Plane is so potent that he can also assume the forms of creatures similarly attuned to that plane. As a standard action, the Lord of the End of Everything can take on the form of any non-divine undead creature as per a shapechange spell limited only by Jergal’s own Hit Dice, gaining all its special abilities and defenses, for as long as he desires.
Moment of Clarity (Su) Jergal can grant an ally the temporary ability to perform any skill or feat (with the exception of ancestor feats) 4 times per day. He must use a standard action to touch the target. The target gains either one feat or a number of ranks in one skill equal to his relevant ability modifier for that skill. For example, a character with Dexterity 14 could gain 2 ranks in Ride, for a total skill modifier of +4. The effect lasts for 13 rounds.
Scribe of the Doomed (unique salient divine ability) Jergal can read the entire tapestry of a creature’s life and death, regardless of any magical protections or psionic defenses, and distill it to its simplest expression. Any creature that meets the Pitiless One’s gaze must succeed at a Will save (DC 64) or be paralyzed for 3d6 rounds. Hereafter, as a standard action, Jergal may write the creature’s name on his scroll, forcing it to succeed at a Will save (DC 64) or be sent to the exact moment of its demise and die instantly. On a successful saving throw, the target creature is rendered staggered and sickened from its brush with true death for the next 24 hours.
Sense Void (Su) Jergal has the ability to reach out with the mind and sense the world around, exploring the unseen layer of reality most people rarely experience. He can use his normal senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell) to perceive whatever area, person, or thing he directs his attention to. The Forgotten One must make a Spellcraft check, with the DC determined by distance, not familiarity.
Line of sight: DC 5
Up to 1 mile: DC 10
Up to 10 miles: DC 15
Up to 100 miles: DC 20
Up to 1,000 miles: DC 25
Jergal cannot sense across planar boundaries. He can also use discern lies, detect thoughts, detect magic and detect evil at will. He has a +10 bonus on Sense Motive checks.
Void Strike (Su) Jergal can make a melee touch attack to bestow 1d4 negative levels on the target. He gains 5 temporary hit points for each negative level he bestows. If the target has at least as many negative levels as Hit Dice, he dies. Each negative level gives a creature a –1 competence penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, ability checks, and effective level (for determining the power, duration, DC, and other details of spells or special abilities). Additionally, a spellcaster loses one spell or spell slot from his highest available level. Negative levels stack. Assuming the target survives, he regains lost levels after 13 hours pass. This ability relies on Jergal’s mastery of void, not negative energy, so it cannot be used to benefit undead.
Void Suppression (Su) Once per day, Jergal can make a melee touch attack to force the target to use his lowest ability score modifier in place of any one higher modifier (his choice) for 5 rounds. For example, Jergal could force an ogre to use his low Intelligence modifier in place of his high Strength modifier, severely weakening the brute’s physical blows.
Other Divine Powers
As a demipower, Jergal treats a 1 on an attack roll or saving throw normally and not as an automatic failure. He is immortal and cannot die from natural causes.
Senses Jergal can hear, touch, and smell at a distance of four miles. As a standard action, he can perceive anything within four miles of his worshipers, holy sites, objects, or any location where one of his titles or name was spoken in the last hour. He can extend his senses to up to two locations at once. He can block the sensing power of deities of his rank or lower at up to two remote locations at once for up to four hours.
Portfolio Sense Jergal is aware of any funeral and burial as long as the event affects at least one thousand people. He is similarly aware of any act of protection of the bodies and names of the dead as well as any act taken with regard to guardianship of tombs and graves as long as the event is of similar scale.
Automatic Actions Jergal can use any skill related to his portfolio as a free action if the DC for the task is 15 or lower, or Knowledge [religion] or Profession (scribe) if the DC is 19 or lower. He can perform up to four such free actions each round.
Create Magic Items Jergal can create any type of magic item related to protection of the dead and dignified death as long the item’s market price does not exceed 4,500 gp.
NEW FEATS
Aligned Theurgy [General] [Dragon #325]
You can combine different sources of power when using spells that contain the same alignment descriptions (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful)
Benefit: Choose one of your alignment-based cleric domains: Chaos, Evil, Good, or Law. You can cast spells with the related spell descriptor as if your caster level was the sum of all your spellcasting classes that grant spells with that alignment-based descriptor. The effect applies only to a single alignment descriptor chosen when the feat is taken. For example, a 3rd-level cleric/4th-level wizard with the Chaos domain and this feat can cast any spell with the chaotic descriptor as a 7th-level caster.
This does not affect your spells per day or spells known. It only increases your caster level when casting spells of the appropriate descriptor.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new alignment-based domain and spell descriptor.
Named Spell [Metamagic] [Dragon #346]
You increase the potency of your spells by interweaving them with your opponent's truename.
Prerequisite: Truespeak 6 ranks.
Benefit: You can make a Truespeak check to say a creature's personal truename. Until the end of your next turn, the DC of any spell you cast increases by 2 for that creature and you gain a +2 bonus on caster level checks to overcome that creature's spell resistance. The level of the spell does not increase. This bonus stacks with other bonuses on spell DCs and caster level checks, including the ones from Spell Focus and Spell Penetration.
Special: You cannot apply this feat to spells that have area effects or more than one target.
Named Spell, Greater [Metamagic] [Dragon #346]
You speak your foe's truename to make him susceptible to your spells.
Prerequisite: Truespeak 9 ranks, Named Spell.
Benefit: You can make a Truespeak check to say a creature's personal truename. Until the end of your next turn, the DC of any spell you cast increases by +2 for that creature and you gain a +2 bonus on caster level checks to overcome that creature's spell resistance. The level of the spell does not increase. This bonus stacks with other bonuses on spell DCs and caster level checks, including the ones from Named Spell, Spell Focus, and Spell Penetration.
Special: You cannot apply this feat to spells that have area effects or more than one target.
NEW SPELLS
Bonemelt [Wyrms of the North: Daurgothoth]
Necromancy
Level: Sorcerer/Wizard 7
Components: V
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect: Special
Duration: 1 day/level (D)
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial
Spell Resistance: Yes
You transform the bones of a living, vertebrate creature to jelly. This spell has no effect on constructs, undead, plants, oozes, vermin, elemental, or aberrations. If the target makes a successful Fortitude save, only one limb is affected (determine randomly, not including the head or tail, if any). The limb becomes a dangling, jelly-like mass lacking the strength to hold or carry things. If the limb is used for locomotion (for example, a leg), the target's speed drops by three-quarters and Dexterity suffers a -8 circumstance penalty. If the limb is used for manipulation (for example, an arm), the target's Dexterity suffers a -8 circumstance penalty and all spellcasting requires a Concentration check (minimum DC 15). Held items are dropped, but worn items are not dropped. If the target fails his Fortitude save, the victim collapses (at the end of his next action) into a helpless, amoeba-like slithering blob. Breathing and movement by creeping (speed 10 feet) is possible, but climbing, flying, wielding items, and the like becomes impossible. Death won't directly occur from this alteration but it often results from the lack of swift mobility the spell causes. After failing his initial saving throw, the target of this spell can make an additional Fortitude save every 24 hours. If he succeeds, his form changes to the same state as if he had saved against the spell originally.
Channel the Void [Dragon Magazine 304 36]
Necromancy
Level: Cleric 5, Sorcerer/Wizard 5
Components: V, S, M/DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
Opening yourself to the debilitating power of the Negative Energy Plane, you empower your energy-draining attacks. If you have an attack that bestows negative levels, the number of negative levels bestowed is increased by 1. If you have an attack that drains ability scores, the number of points drained is increased by half the normal amount.

Area: One tomb, no more than 18,00 cubic feet
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell enables you to invoke a curse to protect a tomb from defilers. You invoke a triggered curse to protect a tomb. To cast tomb ward, you must walk through every passageway and chamber of the tomb, marking the walls, floors, and ceilings with signs of the curse and your deity. You can select an exact trigger, which may be as broad as “any creature entering this tomb” or as specific as “any mortal disturbing the pharaoh’s body, taking or damaging any of his treasures or defacing his sarcophagus.” You can also choose the exact effects of the curse, which may be of any severity.
If you wish, you can also entomb one or more living humanoids within the tomb, though their combined HD cannot exceed your caster level. If you choose to entomb any creatures, the tomb ward animates them as 1st-rank ancient dead if the curse is triggered, using them as guardians.
It is customary to inscribe the specific effect of the tomb ward on the entrance of the tomb as a warning, though this is not necessary to the casting of the spell.
In Ravenloft, casting this spell requires a powers check, plus a powers check for each humanoid buried alive.

The creature contracts mummy rot (dealing 1d6 points of Constitution and Charisma damage), which strikes immediately (no incubation period). The creature cannot be healed normally. Any attempt to be healed by a conjuration (healing) spell requires a caster level check (DC 20).
