Rebuke Undead: The character can rebuke or command undead as a cleric of a level equal to his horned harbinger class level. If the character could already rebuke undead, these levels stack with that ability.

The harbinger rolls 1d6 x Harbinger Levels multiplied by 2. If this is greater than the target's hit points, the creature dies instantly with no save. Anything that protects against death effects protects against this ability. At level 5 the harbinger can use this twice a day, and at level 10 three times.

Death Watch: The horned harbinger becomes aware of all death and dying around him at will. When used, this ability will tell you whether there are creatures who are near to death, undead, or neither alive or dead within a 30 yard radius about you and their direction. This ability will also detect invisible or hiding creatures under those effects.
