Tender Carcass: Once per day your touch can give yourself or a touched person a second save against a poison or disease effect. If used within an hour of infection/poisoning and the save is successful, it counts as though you passed the initial save and the target is no longer affected.
Pale Road (Su) (Corpse Mage)
The spirits each death mage can hear all share a set of similar secrets, based on some aspect of death, dying, and the reactions the living have to the dead. The set of secrets known to each is called their pale road, and each death mage must select one pale road at 1st level. Once made, this selection cannot be changed. As the death mage travels down this pale road at the constant instruction of her spirit guides, she masters a special set of powers becoming a lord or lady of one aspect of death.
Corpse Mage
Corpse mages are the death mages most likely to be mistaken for necromancers, for the spirits they hear all follow the pale road of the undead, each coming from a destroyed undead creature seeking to regain its physical form. At first corpse mages can only command undead creatures as they encounter them, but in time they command armies of loyal, unliving minions.
Dirge of Command (Sp): You may attempt to control undead creatures you encounter. This functions as the command undead spell, except it only functions on undead with no more hit dice than you have death mage levels. You may use this power a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier.
