Ur-Priest like spellcaster?

Just wondering, are there any Pathfinder 3pp prcs that have divine spellcasting like the 3.5 Ur-Priest PrC?
Please note: I'm not asking as a player but as a DM.

As a DM I can tell you no. Ur-Priest was entirely broken and no 3pp has touched anything like it.


Well the wouldnot get the aura ability But that would be swapped out with spell resistance 5+Preist level.

They would choose either positive or negitive energy manipulation at level 1 just like a neutral preist might.

they may have an Ur domain. Couldnt tell you what the bonus spells would be (Probably Anti magic stuff) BUT here is a some good ideas for the domain powers pulled from the Ur-Preist Prc. These probably need tweaking.

Siphon Spell Power (Ex): Because they steal whatever power they can, ur-priests learn to manipulate their energy in ways that confound other casters. An ur-priest of 6th level or higher can temporarily sacrifice two (or more) lower-level spell slots and use those slots to prepare a higher-level spell. The higher-level spell must be of a level the ur-priest can cast. Only one exchange of this sort can be made each day. The levels of the lower-level slots are totaled, then reduced to three-quarters (round down) to determine the level of the extra higher-level spell slot. For example, an ur-priest who sacrifices a 3rd-level spell and a 5th-level spell can use that spell slot to prepare an additional 6th-level spell (3 + 5 = 8, and 8 × 3/4 = 6).

Steal Spell-Like Ability (Su): The most powerful ur-priests can use the same techniques that siphon off the gods’ spell power to steal the spell-like abilities of another creature. Once each day, when a creature with spell-like abilities is within 50 feet of a 10th-level ur-priest, the ur-priest can choose one of the spell-like abilities of the creature to steal for himself. The ur-priest can use the spell-like ability as often as the creature can, or three times per day, whichever is less. The ur-priest uses the ability as the creature does with regard to caster level and save DCs. This ability only lasts 24 hours. The creature with the spell-like ability does not lose the ability when the urpriest steals it. If an ur-priest tries to steal a spell-like ability that the creature doesn’t have, or tries to steal an ability that is supernatural rather than spell-like, the attempt automatically fails.


Thanks for the thoughts, Cliff.

What I liked about it was the spell-casting. Thought it worked nicely with monsters that cast spells as sorcerers (like dragons), very handy combined with mystic theurge. :)


Ur-Priests made great great villains. As a PC I would never allow them.


Ur priests were obscene because they got 9th level spells with only 10 levels. As someone commented a common tric was UR priest 2/Mystic Thurge 8 as an easy way to get 9th level spells in both arcane and divine.


We did a "Jester" class in our Rogue's Gallery book.
It was very "anti-cleric" and totally has the heart of the ur-priest beating in it's chest.

Flavorwise, I'd suggest an evil Magister (Super Genius Games). Or you could go the route suggested above and create a Usurpation domain.
