Initiate of Bhaal (3.5e Feat)

Initiate of Bhaal [Initiate]

3e Summary::You have been initiated into the murderous doctrine of Bhaal's fallen clergy.

Prerequisite: Cleric level 1st, Servant of the Fallen, patron deity Bhaal.

Benefit: You continue advancing in divine spellcasting ability for every class level that advances any precision damage, including a rogue's sneak attack, a ninja's sudden strike, or a scout's skirmish damage, unless the class level would already do so. Thus, when you gain a class level that advances precision damage, you gain new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) and a spellcaster level as if you had also gained a level in whatever divine spellcasting class you belonged to before you gained this feat. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a chararacter of that class would have gained.

For example, if Jorgen, a 10th-level cleric, gains a level of rogue (sneak attack +1d6), he gains new spells as if he had risen to 11th-level cleric, but uses other rogue aspects of level progression such as base attack bonus and save bonuses. If he next gains a level as a cleric, making him a 11th-level cleric/1st-level rogue, he gains spells as if he had risen to 12th level as a cleric. This feat applies retroactively, if applicable to levels previously gained, but can never add more advances in spellcasting ability than half your total character levels.

In addition, you can spontaneously cast any of the following spells, adding them to your spell list at the corresponding levels: (0) Deathwatch, (1) Hunter's Eye, (2) Boiling Blood, (3) Speak with Dead, (4) Bleed, (5) Cloudkill, (6) Drown, (7) Avasculate, (8) Flensing, (9) Soul Bind. This ability works like spontaneously casting cure spells does.

Special: In a campaign taking place prior to 1358 DR, the prerequisite feat Servant of the Fallen does not apply.
