Rebuke Undead 7/day (Su) 4th-level cleric [3 class + 4 from Extra Turning feat]

Spontaneous Casting (Sp) Can convert any prepared spell to an inflict wounds spell of the same level

Domains (Sp) Cleric Domains (the Undeath domain comes from Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, spell list below) Death -- Death touch 1/day; If she makes a successful melee touch attack against a living creature, she rolls 2d6. If the total is greater than the opponent's current hit points, the opponent dies. Undeath -- free Extra Turning feat (included below)

The day Claravda was born, her house started planning the downfall of its chief rival in the drow city where she grew up. As she matured, she could follow the ways of Urgathoa rather than Lolth, so that she could learn the necromantic arts that priests of Lolth cannot access. When she was grown, the battle between the two houses began, and Claravda proved key to the victory of her house. It was a pyrrhic victory, however, as most of her own house was destroyed along with the rival house. Left without a power base, Claravda took control of the remaining drow and led them into the Underdark to recruit their strength. They strike from there to this day, growing in power and waiting for the day when they will return to their home.

Undead always accompany Claravda, even at her lowest level. As soon as she could animate the dead, she began using skeletons, then stronger undead, as her guards. She hardly needs a guard, as she is fierce in combat and loves the smell of blood and gore. At higher levels, she also has drow or other lackeys. She fights to use her powers over the dead to her best advantage, and she proves quite deadly. One of her favorite tactics: animating the bodies of dead adventurers in the middle of a battle, then turning them on their one-time friends. That maneuver is usually good for a -2 circumstance bonus for at least one round.

Claravda and her allies need not be used in the Underdark, though that is where they feel most at home. They could be found in a city at night, engaged in some evil that furthers her long-range plans.

Formed in the unholy union between a newly ordained drow high priestess and a powerful demon, a Draegloth is a half-fiend terror that stalks the Underdark.

While half-fiends of all varieties are not as rare as one might hope, draegloths are perhaps the only variety that is regularly, intentionally, even ritually created by a mortal race. The look like 8-foot-tall drow elves, with inky black skin and a knotted mane of yellowish-white hair. Their hides are thick and covered with a fine coat of white hair, and their bodies are powerfully muscled. Two of their four arms end in powerful claws; the other two, much smaller, end in normal hands that some of these creatures can use for spellcasting. Their faces have a bestial cast, slightly elongated to resemble a dog's muzzle, and their mouths are full of vicious, sharp teeth. Draegloths have darkvision with a range of 60 feet. They speak Abyssal and Undercommon.

Drageloths delight in carnage and wade into battle without fear. Though reasonably intelligent, they are no geniuses, and are impatient in matters of strategy. They disdain weapons, for they love the feeling of tearing opponents apart with their claws and teeth. Their favored class is cleric.
