SPECIAL ABILITIES


Adaptation (Ex) 

The Divine Emissary of Light is always wrapped in a shell of fresh air, making him immune to all harmful vapors and gases (such as cloudkill and stinking clouds effects, as well as inhaled poisons) and allowing him to breathe, even underwater or in a vacuum.


Anathema (Su)

The Divine Emissary of Light can add the effects of any one anathema of his choice from the divine emissary multiclass archetype to his smite evil attacks. Only one anathema can be applied to an individual smite and the decision must be made before the attack roll is made. If an anathema allows a saving throw, the DC is equal to 10 + 1/2 his Hit Dice + his Charisma modifier. Any anathema effects used against a creature of nonevil alignment is wasted. Anathema effects are not cumulative, and once chosen, they cannot be changed for the duration of the encounter. 


Channeled Casting (Su) 

The Divine Emissary of Light can channel allied spells to increase the effective level of his own. For each allied spellcaster that has the same spell prepared (or known with a slot available if they are spontaneous spellcasters) that is adjacent to him, the effective spell level of his spell increases by 1 (up to a maximum of 9th level) as the Heightened Spell metamagic feat. All effects dependent on spell level (such as saving throw DCs and ability to penetrate a lesser globe of invulnerability) are calculated according to the spells new effective level. Despite the effects, the channeled spell expends the same spell slot as the Emissary of Light’s original spell. He can use this ability once per day. 


Detect Evil (Sp) 

The Divine Emissary of Light ’s detect evil requires only 1 round to determine the number of evil auras and the power and location of each aura. 


Divine Armor (Ex) 

The Divine Emissary of Light is never hindered by his +7 full plate, and is considered to be not wearing armor for the purposes of his maximum Dexterity bonus to Armor Class, his armor check penalty, and his speed.


Divine Benevolence (Su) 

The Divine Emissary of Light radiates an aura of divine power in a 10-foot radius. This aura increases the variables and numeric effects of any healing spell or channel positive energy ability used by an ally (or himself) while within the aura’s radius by half, including bonuses to those dice rolls. A creature cannot be the recipient of a spell or ability affected by his divine benevolence aura more than once in a 24-hour period. 


Divine Eminence (Ex)

The Divine Emissary of Light emanates a divine eminence aura that makes his very presence unsettling to foes. This ability is exactly like the frightful presence special ability (see Frightful Presence in the Bestiary). 


Emissary of Light (Su)

The Divine Emissary of Light serves as the Emissary of Light and is called upon by Seker, the God of Light to gather and marshal his heavenly forces into battle when the need arises. 


Greater Smite (Su) 

The Divine Emissary of Light can spend two uses of his lay on hands ability to make a greater smite, and adds a +2 bonus (plus his Charisma bonus if any) to his attack rolls, and his bonus to damage increases to 2 points of damage per level (max 20th). If the target of smite evil is an outsider with the evil subtype, an evil-aligned dragon, or an undead creature, the bonus to damage on the first successful attack increases to 3 points of damage per level. This automatically bypasses any DR the creature might possess. 


Hallowed Path (Su) 

As a standard action, the Divine Emissary of Light can create the effects of a hallowed spell in a 5-foot square. Each round, as a move action, he can step into an adjacent square, immediately subjecting that square to a hallowed spell. He can continue to move from square to square, creating his hallowed path effect for up to 20 rounds day rounds. These rounds do not need to be consecutive. The hallowed effect lasts for 24 hours. 


Lay on Hands (Su)

The Divine Emissary of Light's lay on hands works as a paladin’s and he can use this ability on himself even when a condition or effect would otherwise deny him actions on his turn. He can trade two uses of lay on hands for an additional use of smite evil as many times per day as he wishes, provided he has enough uses of lay on hands available to do so.


Lord of Dragons (Ex) 

The Divine Emissary of Light is a Dragon Sovereign, and has been granted by the gods the lifespan of a dragon (1,200 + years), and no longer takes penalties to his physical ability scores from advanced age. 


Nimbus of Light (Su)

The Divine Emissary of Light emits a 30-foot nimbus of light that acts as a daylight spell. Any undead within this radius take an amount of damage equal to his Hit Dice each round that they remain inside the nimbus. Spells and spell-like abilities with the darkness descriptor are automatically dispelled if brought inside this nimbus. This nimbus can be activated or deactivated as a free action.


Protective Aura (Su) 

The Divine Emissary of Light emanates a protective aura that protects against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures. He provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 20 feet of him. This ability otherwise functions as a magic circle against evil effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability with a caster level equal to his Hit Dice. 


Smite Evil (Su)

The Divine Emissary of Light can smite evil as a 20th-level paladin. He can trade two uses of lay on hands for an additional use of smite evil as many times per day as he wishes, provided he has enough uses of lay on hands available to do so.


Sun’s Blessing (Su) 

Whenever the Divine Emissary of Light channels positive energy to harm undead creatures, he adds his Hit Dice to the damage dealt. Undead do not add their channel resistance to their saves when he channels positive energy.


Teleport (Sp) 

The Divine Emissary of Light can use greater teleport at will, as the spell (caster level 20th), except that he can transport only himself and up to 50 pounds of carried objects.


Truespeech (Su) 

The Divine Emissary of Light can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level 20th). This ability is always active.
