Warpriest
(PRESTIGE CLASS)
Warpriests are fierce, earthy clerics who pray for peace but prepare for war. Their strong wills, powerful personalities, and devotion to their deities make them fearsome combatants. Clerics make good warpriests; members of other classes need levels as a cleric before they can qualify as warpriests because of the domain requirements.

Rally
Type of Feat: Class
Prerequisite: Level 1 Warpriest
Specifics: A warpriest who currently is not suffering from a fear effect can use this ability as a standard action. Allies within 60 feet who are suffering from any fear effect are allowed an immediate Will saving throw at the DC of the fear effect, with a +1 morale bonus per warpriest level.
Inflame
Type of Feat: Class
Prerequisite: Level 2 Warpriest
Specifics: By giving a stirring speech the warpriest provides those who listen a morale bonus on saving throws against any mind influencing effect. The bonus begins at +2 for a 2nd level warpriest and increases by +2 each even numbered level thereafter (+4 at 4th level, etc). This effect lasts 5 minutes, plus 1 minute per level of the warpriest. The warpriest also gains the bonus.
Healing Circle
Type of Feat: Class
Prerequisite: Level 3 Warpriest
Specifics: All friendly creatures within the area of effect are healed for 1d8 Hit Points, +1 points per caster level up to a maximum of +20. Healing spells have a reverse effect when used on undead, harming instead of healing them.
Fear Aura
Type of Feat: Class
Prerequisite: Level 6 Warpriest
Specifics: Once per day the warpriest can project a fear aura to a radius of 20 meters for 1 round per warpriest level. Foes must make a Will save (DC 10+ Warpriest level + Cha bonus) or be affected as if by a fear spell.
Mass Haste
Type of Feat: Class
Prerequisite: Level 7 Warpriest
Specifics: All allies within the area of effect gain 1 extra action per round (allowing an additional attack or spell casting) and have their movement speed increased by 50%.
Mass Heal
Type of Feat: Class
Prerequisite: Level 9 Warpriest
Specifics: All allies within the area of effect are restored to full Hit Points. Healing spells have a reverse effect on undead, harming instead of healing them (undead are reduced to 1d4 Hit Points with this spell).
Fear Aura
Type of Feat: Class
Prerequisite: Level 9 Warpriest
Specifics: Twice per day the warpriest can project a fear aura to a radius of 20 meters for 1 round per warpriest level. Foes must make a Will save (DC 10+ Warpriest level + Cha bonus) or be affected as if by a fear spell.
Implacable Foe
Type of Feat: Class
Prerequisite: Level 10 Warpriest
Specifics: At 10th level, the warpriest can channel enough positive energy to allies within a 100 meters radius that they will continue to fight even after suffering mortal wounds. Using this ability is a move equivalent action and requires concentration. While in use, allies within the radius who take enough damage to become disabled or dying ignore the effects of that damage and continue fighting. Death occurs instantly at -20 hit points. When the ability ends, either because the warpriest stops concentrating, fails a Concentration check, or becomes disabled or worse, then the full effects of all damage take effect immediately.
