Class Features
Base Attack Bonus Progression: Medium
Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int modifier
Hit Dice: D8
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The Dreadmaster gains no new proficiencies with weapons or armor.
Spells per Day/Spells Known: When a new Dreadmaster level is gained the character gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as though he had gained a level in whatever divine spellcasting class gave him access to 3rd-level divine spells. If the character has more than one applicable divine spellcasting class, he must pick one to improve.
Dominating Aura: At 1st level, a Dreadmaster emanates a persistent aura. This has two effects. First, the Dreadmaster becomes immune to fear. The aura itself extends 20ft and affects all enemies that enter it with a -4 penalty to save vs fear. At levels 3, 5, 7 and 9 the reach of this aura extends by 10ft.
Insidious Insight: At 2nd level, the Dreadmaster is experienced in dealing with others. He gains a +2 circumstance bonus to diplomacy and gather information.
Summon Cohort: At 3rd level, the Dreadmaster can summon his followers to him. The summoning lasts for 1 hour per Dreadmaster level plus 1 hour per 3 non-Dreadmaster level. As the Dreadmaster gains levels, his summoned followers improve. At 6th and 8th level, the Dreadmaster can summon an additional type of creature to his side.
Rodcraft: At 4th level, the Dreadmaster becomes more attuned to symbols of power as tools of dominance and subjugation. He gains Craft Wand as a bonus feat.
Fanatical Loyalty: At 5th level, the Dreadmasters influence over his followers is so strong that he can ask them to die for him. When Fanatical Loyalty is cast on a Dreadmasters follower, the follower will take most of the damage dealt to the Dreadmaster. This effect lasts for 1 round per Dreadmaster level or until the follower dies. The Dreadmaster may use this ability once per day at 5th level, and twice per day at 7th level.
Special Cohort: At 8th level, the Dreadmaster attains a special cohort. This follower does not count toward the summon limit. As the Dreadmaster gains power, so does his cohort. At 10th level, the Dreadmaster may summon a different follower.
