About Alastor Henderthane

Clad in plate mail inscribed with the five-fingered claw insignia of the Order of the God Claw on the breastplate, there is no mistaking this individual for anything other than a Hellknight. With a broadsword on his hip, a flail looped into his belt, and a polearm in his right hand, the brown-haired warrior is the perfect image of a holy zealot of the order. Most disquieting of all is the blank, eyeless mask that covers all but the warrior’s mouth, revealing him to be a signifer, one of the order’s dreaded warrior-priests.

TACTICS
-------------------------------
Before Combat Alastor casts magic vestment on both his armor and shield every day. He casts magic weapon, greater on his mace. If alerted to impending battle, he will cast quickened divine favor and righteous might.
During Combat Alastor leads combat with quickened divine favor if it is not already cast followed by blessing of fervor. On subsequent rounds he engages enemies in melee combat. He will, if possible, remain adjacent to his allies to provide them protection with his Bodyguard and In Harm’s Way feats. Against very powerful opponents, he will cast frightful aspect.
Morale Brave and sometimes foolish, Alastor will not suggest surrender or retreat. If presented with a clearly unwinnable situation Alastor will consider a retreat suggested by his allies.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
-------------------------------
Aura of Law (Ex) Alastor radiates an aura of law as an outsider of his hit dice.
Assiduous Gaze Alastor possesses an Assiduous Gaze that can be used through his Signifer mask. He may use each assiduous gaze ability he possesses for up to 4 rounds per day. These rounds need not be consecutive. He can activate an assiduous gaze ability as a swift action to examine a single creature, object, or 5-foot square within 30 feet. Alastor must be wearing his signifer mask to use these abilities, and his caster level while using them is equal to his character level.
Catechesis (Ex) Alastor’s Hellknight Signifer levels stack with levels in divine spellcasting classes for determining the effects of those classes’ domain powers, inquisitions, and mysteries. He treats his Hellknight Signifer levels as cleric levels when channeling using the Alignment Channel feat.
Combat Healer (Su) Twice per day when Alastor casts a cure spell, he can cast it as a swift action, as if using the Quicken Spell feat, by expending two spell slots. This does not increase the level of the spell.
Discern Lies (Sp) Alastor can use discern lies as a spell-like ability 10 times per day.
Elucidation By using his Assiduous Gaze ability Alastor can discern each active spell affecting a target, including the spell’s effect and caster level.
Misfortune (Ex) As an immediate action, Alastor can force a creature within 30 feet to reroll one d20 roll that it has just made before the results of the roll are revealed. The creature must take the result of the reroll, even if it's worse than the original roll. Once a creature has suffered from Alastor’s misfortune, it cannot be the target of this revelation again for 1 day.
Mystery Alastor has selected the mystery of Battle. Through this mystery, he has received the revelations Battlefield Clarity, Combat Healer, Misfortune, and War Sight. He has used his Lesser Ring of Revelation to add the Channel revelation from the Life mystery, emulating that class feature with his Use Magic Device skill.
Oracle’s Curse (Ex) Alastor is cursed with lameness, but this curse comes with a benefit as well as a hindrance. One of his legs is permanently wounded, reducing his base land speed by 10 feet. His speed is never reduced due to encumbrance. He is also immune to the Fatigued condition. As a dual-cursed oracle he is also cursed to be legalistic and becomes sickened if he violates his spoken word. This curse does not provide any benefits.
Scion of Humanity Alastor's heavenly ancestry is extremely distant. He counts as an outsider (native) and a humanoid (human) for any effect related to race, including feat prerequisites and spells that affect humanoids. He can pass for human without using the Disguise skill.
Signifer Mask (Su) Alastor’s mask, devoid of eyeholes or other personal features, doesn't obscure his vision and while wearing it he gains a +2 competence bonus on Sense Motive checks and on saving throws against spells and abilities that rely on visual effects.
Skill at Arms (Ex) Alastor is proficient with all martial weapons and heavy armor.
Truespeaker Some aasimars’ language transcends all boundaries. Alastor gain a +2 bonus on Linguistics and Sense Motive checks, and learns two languages each time he gain a rank in Linguistics.
Veracity (Sp) By spending a round of Assiduous Gaze, Alastor can see his target as if under the effects of a true seeing spell.
War Sight (Su) Alastor rolls three times and chooses the result when he rolls for initiative. He always acts in the surprise round.
