Deific Censure, Faith Rewarded

(5th)

Class Skills (6 + Int modifier): Balance, Climb, Concentration, Craft, Decipher

Script, Diplomacy, Disable Device, Disguise, Escape Artist, Gather Information,
Hide, Intimidate, Jump, Knowledge (history, local, religion, planes), Listen, Move
Silently, Open Lock, Perform, Profession, Search, Sense Motive, Spot, Swim,
Tumble, and Use Rope.
Proficiencies: All simple and martial weapons, as well as one exotic weapon.
Avengers are proficient with light armor.
Trapfinding: As Rogue.
Divine Censure (Su): Avengers are the deliverers of divine punishment and as
such are experts in the instruments of war most closely associated with their deity.
All Avengers gain the Weapon Proficiency feat for their deity's favored weapon (if
they don't have it already). If they are already proficient in that weapon they gain
the Weapon Focus feat for it instead.
Furthermore, as a swift action, an Avenger may designate a single foe as the target
of their divine wrath. Doing so fills them with powerful divine energy causing their
attacks to deal an extra 1d6 damage to the designated foe, and dealing any other
foes that damage them with attacks 1d6 damage. This effect lasts until the end of
the encounter or until the designated foe is reduced to 0 or fewer hit points. This
effect only applies to one attack per round.
Every two levels after 1st the extra damage added by Divine Censure increases by
1d6. This extra damage is divine damage and not subject to damage reduction or
energy resistance of any kind. It is not precision damage and therefore damages
creatures immune to critical hits normally.
Armored Stealth (Su): Starting at 2nd level, granted guidance from their deity,
Avengers ignore armor check penalties to Hide and Move Silently, as well as gaining
a sacred bonus to those skills equal to 1/2 his class level.
Aura of Anonymity (Su): At 2nd level an Avenger is able to conceal his alignment
to effects that might detect it. The Avenger is considered True Neutral for all effects
that would detect alignment and has Spell Resistance 13+Class Level, but only
against Divination spells and effects. If a Divination effect fails to penetrate the
Avenger's SR it is automatically redirected via divine power to another suitable
creature within 60ft (if there is such a creature; this new creature gets a saving
throw as normal).
Trap Sense (Ex): As Rogue.

Faith Rewarded (Sp): At 4th level, an Avenger begins to wield divine spell power
in his crusade. After 8 hours of rest choose a number of spells from the Cleric spell
list equal to your Wisdom modifier. At 4th level you may only choose 1st level
spells, but every four levels thereafter you may choose spells one level higher. You
are able to cast these spells during the day as spell-like abilities each usable 1/day.
You may choose the same spell more than once each day gaining additional uses of
that particular spell-like ability.
Armored Evasion (Su): Starting at 4th level an Avenger is able to avoid unusual
attacks with ease. This ability functions as a Rogue's Evasion. Against the effects
this ability applies to the Avenger gets a sacred bonus to his Reflex saves equal to
1/2 the combined total of his armor bonus + his shield bonus (enhancements
included).
Blessed Cover (Su): Starting at 6th level, an Avenger can use the Hide skill
without the need of cover or concealment. Unlike Camouflage, this ability functions
in any sort of terrain or structure.
Slippery Mind (Ex): Starting at 10th level. As Rogue (special ability).
Stricken From the Records (Su): Beginning at 14th level, an Avenger is so
prized by his divine patron that he has become impossible to locate even with the
most powerful divination effects. Any effect attempting to detect the Avengers
alignment, thoughts, or location is automatically redirected to the nearest creature
within 1 mile. Likewise, supernatural senses such as Lifesight and Mindsight
automatically fail to detect the Avenger.
Objects created through divination effects, such as scrying sensors or Prying Eyes,
are automatically suppressed within 1 mile of the Avenger.
Finally, attempts to gain information on the Avenger through supernatural or spelllike means, such as via a Commune or Contact Other Plane effect, always result in
non-specific, puzzling, and often untrue responses.
Divine Concealment (Su): An Avenger of 17th level or higher can use the Hide
skill even while being observed. Unlike Hide in Plain Sight, this ability functions in
any sort of terrain or structure.
Deific Censure (Su): A 20th level Avenger is a terrifying instrument of their
deity's wrath. Anytime a foe you've designated via Divine Censure willingly moves
out of one of your threatened squares that foe must succeed on a Will save (DC

12+1/2 Avenger level+Wisdom modifier) or be Immobilized for 1 minute. Anytime a

foe other than a foe designated via Divine Censure damages you with an attack
that foe must succeed on a Will save (DC 12+1/2 Avenger level+Wisdom modifier)
be Frightened for 1 minute. During that time, at the beginning of your turns, that
foe is dealt 5d6 divine damage (not subject to DR or Energy Resistance).
