Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Warriors of dark blood gain no additional proficiencies with either weapons or armor.
Hunter of Dark Magic (Ex): The warrior of the dark blood gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks when using them against astiraxes or legates. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon damage rolls against such creatures.
These bonuses increase by +2 at every other level to a maximum of +8 at 10th level.
Detect Astirax (Su): At will, a warrior of dark blood of 2nd level or higher can detect dark magic. This ability functions just like the detect magic spell, except that it only reveals the presence of the divine magic of Izrador. In other words, the ability will detect the magic aura of a spell cast by a legate, but not one cast by an orc channeler.
Resist Izrador's Will (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, the warrior of dark blood gains spell resistance equal to 10 + his class level against the divine magic of Izrador's legates.
Faithless Stare (Su): Once per day starting at 5th level, a warrior of dark blood can stare down a legate and make him question his faith. The legate must succeed on a Will save (10 + warrior of dark blood's class level + Wisdom modifier) or lose a number of prepared spells equal to the warrior of dark blood's Wisdom modifier, starting with the highest-level spells.
The warrior of dark blood may use this ability an additional time at 10th level.
This ability angers and confuses Izrador, and he is on verge of ordering a pogrom against the dworgs in order to root out and destroy the warriors of dark blood.
Spirit Hunter (Su): Beginning at 6th level, the warrior of dark blood gains the ability to see the shadowy form of an astirax no matter what its current form is. If the astirax is possesing an animal, the character can see a faint outline around the animal, and if the astirax is in its natural form, the character can see it despite its natural invisibility. Additionally, all melee attacks the warrior of dark blood makes against an astirax, whether with weapons or unarmed, are considered to have the ghost touch special ability.
Locate Dark Servant (Su): Starting at 8th level, the warrior of dark blood can detect dark servants at will. This ability functions like the locate creature spell, except that it only reveals the presence of astiraxes and legates. The ability allows the warrior of dark blood to know which creatures it is detecting are astiraxes and which are legates, but he cannot locate specific indivuals.
Cleave Spells (Su): Starting at 9th level, whenever a warrior of dark blood makes a successful melee attack against a creature under the effect of a legate's spell (whether negative or beneficial), he may make a dispel check (1d20 + your class level) against the highest level spell to end the effect. Each melee attack may only dispel a single spell effect, and no such spell effect may be dispelled if a higher-level legate spell is still in place.
