Bonus Feat: Vlazis received a bonus feat at level one. Silver Tongued: Vlazis is adept at subtle manipulation and putting even sworn foes at ease. He gains a +2 bonus on Diplomacy and Bluff checks. In addition, when Vlazis uses Diplomacy to shift a creature’s attitude, he can shift up to three steps up rather than just two. Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Vlazis is proficient with all simple weapons and light armor. Aura (Ex): Vlazis gives off a moderate aura of Evil and Law. Variant Channel Energy (Rulership) (Su) - DC 20 9/day: Vlazis channels negative energy and can choose to deal damage to living creatures or to heal undead creatures. Channeling energy causes a burst that affects all creatures of one type (either undead or living) in a 30-foot radius centered on Vlazis. The amount of damage dealt or healed is 3d6 points of damage. Living creatures take half damage from the channeled energy and must pass a Will save or be dazed for one round (they take half damage regardless). The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 Vlazis's level + his Charisma modifier. Vlazis may channel energy a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier. This is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. Vlazis can choose whether or not to include himself in this effect. He must be able to present his holy symbol to use this ability. Leadership Domain: Vlazis's focus on Dispater's Laws of Leadership grants the following abilities and spells: Inspiring Command (Su): As a standard action, Vlazis can issue an inspiring command to his allies. The inspiring command affects one ally plus one additional ally for every three cleric levels he possesses (2), who must all be within 30 feet of you. Affected allies gain a +2 insight bonus on attack rolls, AC, combat maneuver defense, and skill checks for 1 round. This is a language-dependant mind-affecting effect. 1st Level: Bless
Call Heralds (Su): Vlazis can channel stored spell energy into summoning spells that he hasn’t prepared ahead of time. He can lose a prepared spell in order to cast any summon monster spell of the same level or lower. He gains a +2 bonus on concentration checks to cast a summon monster spell defensively. This bonus increases to +2 at 5th level, and increases by 1 every 5 cleric levels thereafter. Chaotic and Good Spells: Vlazis can't cast spells of the alignments that are opposed to Dispater. Divine Heralds (Su): A herald caller can use summon monster spells only to summon creatures whose alignment matches at least one aspect of Dispater’s alignment. When summoning a creature that is normally summoned with the celestial or fiendish template Vlazis can instead summon it with the resolute template. Because of these summoned monsters’ strong ties to Dispater, Vlazis also gains specific benefits with creatures he summons. Vlazis and his summoned monsters can understand each other’s spoken words as if they shared a common language (though this doesn’t give summoned monsters the ability to speak if they normally lack it). Whenever Vlazis channels energy to deal damage, he can exclude any of his summoned monsters that would normally be affected. Spells:
Orisons:
Create Water Detect Magic Enhanced Diplomacy Light Level 1: 4/day+1 domain
Level 2: 3/day+1 domain
Level 3: 2 +Domain
Feats:
Improved Channel: Vlazis's channeled energy is harder to resist. Add 2 to the DC of saving throws made to resist the effects of his channel energy ability.
Selective Channeling: When Vlazis channels energy, he can choose a number of targets in the area up to his Charisma modifier (5). These targets are not affected by his channeled energy. Sacred Summoning: The minions of Dispater stand ready to answer Vlazis's call. When using summon monster to summon creatures whose alignment subtype or subtypes exactly match your aura (LE), Vlazis may cast the spell as a standard action instead of with a casting time of 1 round. Augment Summoning (Bonus): Vlazis's summoned creatures are more powerful and robust. Each creature he conjures with any summon spell gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength and Constitution. Quick Channel: Vlazis's divine energies flash with dazzling speed. He may channel energy as a move action by spending two uses of the ability. Traits:
Flames of Hell: Vlazis's bond with Dispater strengthens his ability to channel powers of the divine. Add 1 to the DC of saving throws made to resist the effects of his channel energy ability.
Exalted of the Society: The vaults of the Grand Lodge in Absalom contain many secrets of the divine powers of the gods, and Vlazis has studied his deity extensively. He may channel energy one additional time per day. Fast-Talker: Vlazis had a knack for getting himself into trouble as a child, and as a result developed a silver tongue at an early age. Vlazis gains a +1 trait bonus on Bluff checks, and Bluff is always a class skill for him. Equipment:

Boons: Enduring Scholar: Vlazis's exposure to dangerous magic has conditioned him to resist spells. Once per adventure before rolling a saving throw against a spell, he can apply a bonus equal to 1 plus half the number of goals he has completed (+3). Archivist: Vlazis often has just the right tome on hand. Once per adventure, he may apply a bonus on any Knowledge or Linguistics check equal to 1/2 the goals he has completed (+2). He also has learned Draconic. Confirmed Field Agent: Having successfully completed and documented his Confirmation, one of the Three Masters has formally recognized Vlazis as a field agent and given him a Wayfinder engraved with her name and the date of her graduation. I may acquire the Wayfinder by spending 1 Prestige Point and reduce the PP cost of any wayfinder enhancement vanities I purchase to modify it by 1 (minimum 1) Caravan: Vlazis owns a controlling share in a caravan that makes regular trips through the Inner Sea region. He isn't required to maintain a presence in the caravan, and thus does not need to accompany the caravan as it makes its journeys, but he does shoulder some of the responsibility of ownership. For the most part, this means handling things like representing the caravan's interests to important merchants, politicians, and aristocrats. Vlazis represents the caravan as an upstanding citizen and above-the-board merchant, allowing him to use Diplomacy to make Day Job rolls. Explore, Report, Cooperate (x2): Vlazis has an excellent sense of what makes an exemplary Pathfinder. As a free or immediate action, he may consider whether a particular action he names would help realize the goals of the Pathfinder Society. The GM then informs him whether the action's impact would be positive, negative, or negligible as it pertains to the secondary success condition(s) of the current scenario. This boon may only be used once. Friend of Janira Gavix: The field agent who oversaw her Confirmation is appreciative of Vlazis's bravery and camaraderie in the face of danger. She helps him perform research, granting him a +1 bonus on Knowledge checks attempted while he is at the Grand Lodge. Prized Find (Used): Vlazis was instrumental in uncovering a cache of lost records the the Pathfinder Society can use to explore hitherto unknown sites. If he would fail to earn a Prestige Point at the end of an adventure due to failing a success condition, he may once remind his superiors of his past breakthroughs and earn the 1 Prestige Point as if he had successfully fulfilled the condition. The Chelish Embassy of Absalom has recognized Vlazis for his outstanding service to the Empire. He has been granted one free use of the divination spell from a Cleric of Asmodeus that he can use while within Egorian. The Andoren Embassy of Absalom regards Vlazis as an upstanding free citizen of the Republic. Inside Connection: Vlazis is familiar with the cult of Razmir and receives a +2 bonus on all Charisma-based skill checks against the faithful of Razmir. Stolen Deeds: Vlazis has recovered several stolen deeds from the Razmiran stronghold. He did what he could to return them to their proper owners, developing a reputation as being a good neighbor. Purchasing property in Absalom costs 1 less PP than normal. Contraband Dividends: Vlazis ensured that a valuable shipment of contraband antiquities were able to enter Absalom through the sewers without kobolds causing any problems. As a result, Vlazis received a scroll of Delay Poison from among the non-relic bits of the cargo. Koboldfriend: Vlazis negotiated a truce between the Pathfinder Society and Yiddlepode of the Sewer Dragon tribe. As part of the bargain, she gave him a token of kobold. When worn about his neck it grants him a +2 bonus on all Diplomacy checks with humanoids of the reptilian subtype. Student of the Void: Vlazis's studies of the beacon and the copper gate have connected his mind to a mysterious presence that promises him power. He may three times cast one of the following as a spell-like ability with a caster level equal to his character level. Instead of a material component cost, each spell-like ability comes with an alternative price. Ask other players for their permission before activating these abilities on them.
Defender of Absalom: Vlazis aided Absalom in its hour of need, breaking the siege of demon-flesh monstrosities, undead saboteurs, and ghastly ships. The people of Absalom witnessed his triumphs and will remember his courage for several deeds in particular:
Coiled Companion: Vlazis has recovered a rare serpent's egg, reared the reptile and trained it as a guardian. Jiraku's Respect: Vlazis has helped the dosojin kami Jiraku restore her faith in her stewardship of the Pilgrim's Path. She gifted him with a portion of her power as a blessing. Vlazis may once use one of the following SLA's using his level as the CL: Invisibility, longstrider, stone shape, or wind wall. Kami Reunited: Even if their ward is forever broken in two, Vlazis has brought the two kami wardens together once more and received their blessing. This has noeffect until he acquires Tanbaru's Respect. Grace of Minatan Heroes (1/1): Vlazis has earned the attention of powerful Minatan spirits, who now watch over his travels. Once he may gain the effects of greater magic fang or greater magic weapon for 1 minute/level (CL = Char Level). Inahiyi's Gratitude (2/2): By participating in the ritual of Inahiyi, Vlazis has become intertwined in the wayang's connection to the Shadow Plane. He may twice as an immediate action treat positive and negative energy effects as though he were an undead creature for 1 mintue. Chronicles::
