Guardian Phantom: The phantom gains a +2 natural armor bonus when it manifests in its ectoplasmic form, and a +2 deflection bonus to AC when it manifests in its incorporeal form. At 12th level, the phantom increases its maximum hit points by twice its number of Hit Dice.

Dutiful Strike (Su): When a creature makes an attack against the phantom’s master, the phantom gains a +2 bonus on attack rolls against that target, and deals damage against that target as if the phantom were one size category larger. For the purposes of this ability, an attack includes any harmful spell targeting the spiritualist master of whose area or effect includes the spiritualist master. Dutiful strike lasts for 1 minute, until another creature attacks the phantom’s spiritualist master (at which point this effect transfers to the new attacker), or until the attacking creature is reduced to fewer than 0 hit points, whichever occurs first.

Feat Level Plan: 1 HD: Improved Iron Will 3 HD: Great Fortitude; 5 HD: Improved Great Fortitude; 7 HD: Lightning Reflexes; 9 HD: Improved Lightning Reflexes; 11 HD: ?; 13 HD: ?; 15 HD: ?

(Callistria) Guardian phantom of Dedication abilities:

Guardian: The phantom gains a +2 natural armor bonus when it manifests in its ectoplasmic form, and a +2 deflection bonus to AC when it manifests in its incorporeal form. At 12th level, the phantom increases its maximum hit points by twice its number of Hit Dice.

Dedication Phantom

Skills: The phantom gains a number of ranks in Diplomacy and Sense Motive equal to its number of Hit Dice. While confined in the spiritualist’s consciousness, the phantom grants the spiritualist Skill Focus in each of these skills.

Good Saves: Reflex and Will.

Iron Will: The phantom gains Iron Will as a bonus feat. Furthermore, when the phantom is within its master’s consciousness, it grants the benefits of Iron Will to its master if its master doesn’t have that feat.

Dutiful Strike (Su): When a creature makes an attack against the phantom’s master, the phantom gains a +2 bonus on attack rolls against that target, and deals damage against that target as if the phantom were one size category larger. For the purposes of this ability, an attack includes any harmful spell targeting the spiritualist master of whose area or effect includes the spiritualist master. Dutiful strike lasts for 1 minute, until another creature attacks the phantom’s spiritualist master (at which point this effect transfers to the new attacker), or until the attacking creature is reduced to fewer than 0 hit points, whichever occurs first.

Defending Aura (Su): When the spiritualist reaches 7th level, the phantom can emit a 10-foot-radius aura that grants protection to nearby allies. It can activate this aura at will as a swift action. Allies within the aura gain a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 bonus to CMD and on all saving throws. Deactivating the aura is a free action.

Devoted Servant (Su): When the spiritualist reaches 12th level and is caught unawares by an attack (such as an attack made in a surprise round or while the spiritualist is asleep or an attack by a creature using Stealth), if the phantom is not fully manifested, it automatically fully manifests from the spiritualist’s consciousness to protect its master. The phantom stays manifested as long as the spiritualist is unaware and in danger. This ability requires no action from the spiritualist.

Steadfast Devotion (Su): When the spiritualist reaches 17th level, the phantom becomes immune to detrimental mind-affecting effects and all forms of possession, such as magic jar and possession (see page 181). Furthermore, the phantom is immune to banishment, dismissal, and similar effects.

Callistra Tactics:

Preacherelius manifests Callistria in ectoplasmic form.

1st round: moves and attacks a foe that damaged Preacherelius in the last minute (so she benefits from Dutiful Strike), otherwise she moves to flank a foe with an ally. At 7th level, she also activates her Defending Aura (swift action).

2nd round: Continues to fight the same foe or, if the foe she was flanking is no longer a threat, moves to be in melee with another foe who became the target of Dutiful Strike.

Advanced Tactics: She flanks a foe with an ally.

Flavor:

Phantoms' abilities they had in life:

To match up the abilities each phantom gains from the Priest of the Fallen archetype, I am creating what their levels/abilities would have been in life so that they match up with the abilities they gain as being a phantom for a priest of the fallen spiritualist. In addition to matching up their in-life abilities to the same/similar abilites they regained (and are capable of regaining) as phantoms, it will help me get some ideas for personality quirks of each phantom. Not everything will necessary be filled out, such as all the spells Shimmerella had in her spell repertoires in life. For example, a hierophant phantom has the potential to use bane and bless as spell-like abilities, each 15 times a day, plus prayer and searing life, each once per day. I used that as a reference to get the minimum oracle level that would be able have enough spell slots to be able to cast the spells that many times.

Another example, is Irohmentingham had levels in (hospitaler) paladin in addtion to his (prankster) bard levels. He gained levels in paladin after he attained tier 3 mythic and took the Beyond Morality path ability so being chaotic good beforehand did not prevent him from gaining the paladin's lay on hands and mercies (which he will eventually gain as a Kindness phantom). Which is why Irohmentingham will sometimes try to lay healing hands on a wounded ally (as that is what he did in life - oh, the joy he will have when he regains the lay on hands ability).
