The Diabolist's Handbook
$4.99
Imbued with a fragment of a god, archfiend, or otherpowerful planar force, aspect hosts draw upon different elements of their alien patron to spread their influence across the planes directly.
This archetype requires champion medium.
Channeled Patron (Su)
Rather than channeling a variety of different spirits, the aspect host always channels a single entity known as their patron. This patron may be a god, demigod, or other powerful force at GM discretion. The patron may be channeled from any location (not just favored locations) and may take the form of any legend. The patron always possesses the same taboo and influence penalty regardless of what spirit is channeled (this means that they cannot select multiple taboos for the patron). This taboo and influence penalty is chosen when the character gains their first aspect host level (for example, an aspect host of a specific patron may always be required to follow a paladin code regardless of the spirit they are channeling and may always suffer the champion’s influence penalty).
This alters spirit but counts as spirit for the purpose of other medium class abilities and for meeting prerequisites.
Sanctified Aura (Su)
At 3rd level, the aspect host gains a single 3rd-level aura ability from one of the avowed pledges of an avowed paladin (from Archetypes of Power 2), using the aspect host’s medium level as their effective paladin level. At 7th level, the aspect host gains the 8th-level aura ability from that avowed pledge.
This replaces haunt channeler and connection channel.
More Than Mortal (Ex)
At 5th level, the aspect host learns to draw sustenance from their patron. They no longer need to eat, drink, or sleep. At 13th level, the aspect host becomes immune to disease and poison and does not need to breathe.
This replaces location channel and ask the spirits.
Planar Presence (Su)
At 14th level, for every point of influence the aspect host’s patron has over them, the radius of the aspect host’s sanctified auras increases by 10 feet. As a free action which can be taken outside their turn, the aspect host may allow their patron to gain 1 point of influence over them to cause one creature they perceive to be affected by the aspect host’s sanctified aura regardless of its location for 1 round per level.
This replaces astral journey.
Difficult to Replace (Su)
At 18th level, once per week when the aspect host would be killed, they are automatically resurrected as per the Greater Resurrection talent from the Life sphere.
This replaces spacious soul.
