Alpha Strike (Ex) An incarnation of death almost always gains initiative in any fight and is never flat-footed. When rolling initiative, an incarnation of death rolls twice and takes the better result.
Certain Blow (Ex) The blows of an incarnation of death always strike the very soul of their assigned foe. In addition to the benefits of its smite ability, the attacks of an incarnation of death are considered to be touch attacks against its assigned foe.
Death Sense (Su) An incarnation of death can automatically sense the exact level of health of any living being it sees, effectively knowing its total hit dice, hit point maximums, and current hit point level. The incarnation can also discern any unusual status conditions, including wounded, disabled, staggered, unconscious, dying, nauseated, panicked, stunned, poisoned, diseased, and the like.
Magic Immunity (Ex) A lesser incarnation of death is immune to all spells and spell-like abilities of 3rd level or less. The incarnation may voluntarily lower this immunity as a standard action and may raise it again as a free action. In addition, incarnations of death are immune to all death effects.
Permanent Slaying (Ex) Those killed by a lesser incarnation of death may only be brought back via a true resurrection, miracle or wish spell; those slain by a greater incarnation of death can only be brought back by the direct intervention of a deity.
Replication (Ex) When an incarnation of death has an assigned foe, and another creature interferes, a second incarnation of death of the same type immediately appears to do battle with the interfering party, with the offending party as its assigned foe. Only one incarnation of death appears at a time to engage an interfering party, even if that party continues to interfere. However, if several people interfere, each ends up facing its own incarnation of death. Should one of these other incarnations be slain, that person again becomes subject to this ability should they turn their attention to assisting another face an incarnation of death. Assistance can take the form of attacking an incarnation, healing the assigned foe’s wounds, or even positioning oneself so as to give the assigned foe a flanking
A robed, hooded figure wielding a large scythe appears and attacks.
An incarnation of Death is the very personification of Death with skeletal features, hooded robe, and scythe. It usually strikes first in any fight and its blows seem to always strike true. It can automatically sense the exact level of health of any living being it sees and those killed may only be brought back to life by the most powerful magic or the intervention of deities. If an incarnation of death has an assigned foe, and another creature interferes, a second incarnation of death of the same type immediately appears to do battle with the interfering party, with the offending party as its assigned foe.
Only one incarnation of death appears at a time to engage an interfering foe, even if that foe continues to interfere. However, if several people interfere, each ends up facing its own incarnation of death. If the incarnation has no foes assigned—for example, if it was summoned to simply wreak havoc and slay all who cross its path—it cannot use its replication ability.
The incarnation can communicate telepathically with any sentient creature, to a distance equal to the range of its darkvision. However, incarnations very seldom choose to do so. Once destroyed, the incarnation disappears along with its magical scythe.

Sven is a descendent of the noble Silvermane family. Famous for their battles against the lycanthropes of the Blackwood forest, they have a proud tradition of raising priests and warriors that worship the goddess of the sun, Sarenrae. Sven was kitted early with family heirlooms and sent out to conquer the darkness and heal the infirm. After several adventures he wound up in the grande temple of Jing, ultimately falling the Blindeye Caverns.
