As long as you chant, you bring special favor upon your allies and bring disfavor to your enemies. You and your allies gain a +1 luck bonus on all attack rolls, saves, and skill checks while your foes suffer a –1 penalty on such rolls. You must chant in a clear voice. Any interruption in your chanting, such as a failed concentration check, a silence spell, or your speaking or casting another spell, ends the effect. As an exception to the general rule, the effects of this spell stack with those of a prayer spell if cast by a cleric of the same deity and alignment during your chanting

Condemned
School necromancy Level Cleric 4
Casting Time 1 round
Components V, S, M (powdered skull, graveyard mold, and a dead man’s blood)
Range touch
Targets one living creature
Duration permanent
Saving Throw Fortitude negates
Spell Resistance yes
A victim struck by this touch attack that fails its save cannot benefit from the healing effects of positive energy (cure spells, channel positive energy, etc.) until the condition is removed by a dispel magic or remove curse. Natural healing still works normally. It does not, however, prevent the damaging effects of such spells and abilities to undead creatures.
Dead Man's Eyes
School divination Level Bard 2, Cleric 2, Sorcerer/Wizard 2
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (50 gp gem placed over each eye of the corpse)
Range touch
Targets one dead creature
Duration 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw none
Spell Resistance no
By peering into a dead creature’s eyes, you may see 1 minute/level preceding the corpse’s death as seen by the dead creature (for example, if the creature died in its sleep there is likely little to see). You see these events in compressed time, 1 round for every minute of the corpse’s past. A successful DC 15 concentration check gives near-perfect recall of the events; failure indicates fuzzy recall and partial details. A roll of a natural 1 indicates a mangled, inaccurate version of events.
You may dismiss the spell at any point, but if you witness the creature’s fi nal moment and it was a violent death, you immediately suffer 2d6 points of nonlethal damage from the empathic resonance of the death.
Grim Feast
School necromancy [evil] Level Cleric 1
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, DF
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft. level)
Targets up to one fresh corpse/level
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw none
Spell Resistance no
You can cure yourself of 1d4 lost hit points per affected corpse by casting this spell on the bodies of size Small or larger, formerly living, creatures that died within the last hour. Dead bodies used in this way shrivel up and become unusable for anything else, including animation.
Unholy Channel
School necromancy [evil] Level Cleric/Oracle 4
Casting Time 1 round
Components V, S, DF
Range touch
Targets one undead creature
Duration 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance yes
With this spell you may establish a link with an undead creature that you command. Through this link you may cast any single-target inflict spells to heal the undead creature as long as it is within long range (400 ft. + 40 ft./level). If you are also undead, any cure spell cast upon you has a 50% chance to harm either you or the undead recipient of your unholy channel, regardless of who was the original target of the spell. If the cure spell requires a Will or Reflex save, then the targeted creature must make the saving throw to determine the effects of the spell. If the spell allows a Fortitude save, then the creature affected must make the saving throw. You can only have one unholy channel in effect at any given time. An unholy channel cannot be established with a living creature.

Available in shirt or full suit, this chainmail has black silk strands painstakingly circling every link of chain, concealing the metal and muffling the clinking of the armor. The silk reduces the armor check penalty to Stealth checks by 4, though the full penalty still applies to all other skills. Cost: 500 gp plus armor cost.
