Requirements

Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Exorcists of the Silver Flame gain no proficiency with any weapons, armor, or shields.

Spells per Day: At 2nd level and at the higher levels indicated on the table, when a new exorcist of the Silver Flame level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a cleric or paladin level. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (improved ability to turn undead and so on). This essentially means that she adds these exorcist of the Silver Flame levels to her levels in cleric or paladin, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly.

If a character had levels in both cleric and paladin before she became an exorcist of the Silver Flame, she must decide to which class she adds each level of exorcist for the purpose of determining spells per day.

Flame of Censure (Su): An exorcist of the Silver Flame can manifest the mystical power of the Silver Flame to ward off outsiders with the evil subtype. The exorcist makes a Charisma check and consults Table 8—9: Turning Undead, page 159 of the Player's Handbook, using her character level to determine the most powerful outsider she can affect. She then rolls 2d6 + her level in this class + her Cha modifier for turning damage. Using both her character level and class level in this manner means that she is more likely to affect a single powerful outsider, but unlikely to censure more than one of them.

A censured outsider is stunned for 1 round by the power of the Silver Flame channeled through the exorcist. If the exorcist's character level is at least twice the outsider's Hit Dice, she banishes the outsider back to its home plane. An exorcist can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Cha modifier.

Weapon of the Exorcist (Su): An exorcist of the Silver Flame chooses a weapon with which she dispenses the will of the church. The chosen weapon must be a weapon that the exorcist of the Silver Flame is proficient with, and must have been in her possession for the last 24 hours. While wielding this weapon, the exorcist has a +1 sacred bonus on damage rolls, and she treats it as a magic weapon for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

An exorcist of the Silver Flame may only have one weapon of the exorcist at a time.

Weapon of Silver (Su): Starting at 2nd level, an exorcist of the Silver Flame wielding her chosen weapon treats the weapon as silver as well as magic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Darkvision (Ex): If she does not already have it, an exorcist of the Silver Flame gains darkvision out to 30 feet at 3rd level. The radius of the effect increases to 60 feet at 6th level.

Resist Possession (Su): Beginning at 3rd level, an exorcist of the Silver Flame receives a + 4 sacred bonus on saving throws against possession, including magic jar spells, ghostly malevolence, and fiendish possession. She also receives a +2 sacred bonus on saving throws against all charm and compulsion spells and effects cast by evil outsiders or undead.

Smite Evil (Su): Starting at 3rd level, once per day an exorcist of the Silver Flame can attempt to smite evil with one normal melee attack. She adds her Charisma bonus (if any) to her attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per exorcist level. If an exorcist accidentally smites a creature that is not evil, the smite has no effect but the ability is still used up for that day. An exorcist who is also a paladin and/or cleric adds her daily uses of this ability from each class together, and adds her exorcist level to her paladin level and/or cleric level to determine extra damage. For example, a 5th-level cleric/10th-level paladin/3rd-level exorcist of the Silver Flame can smite evil four times per day (3/day from her paladin levels and I/day from her exorcist levels) and deals an extra 18 points of damage on a successful smite.

At 7th level and higher, an exorcist can smite evil one additional time per day.

Detect Thoughts (Sp): Beginning at 4th level, an exorcist of the Silver Flame can use detect thoughts at will, as the spell. The save DC is 10 + exorcist's class level + exorcist's Cha modifier.

Weapon of Good (Su): Starting at 4th level, an exorcist of the Silver Flame wielding her chosen weapon treats the weapon as good-aligned, silver, and magic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Silver Exorcism (Su): At 5th level and higher, an exorcist of the Silver Flame gains a +2 bonus on Charisma checks to force possessing spirits out of the bodies they inhabit, as well as on all dispel checks and caster level checks to harm, banish, or overcome the spell resistance of evil outsiders. This includes dispel checks to dispel a summon monster spell when the summoned monster is an evil outsider. However, the bodies they inhabit take 1d6 points of sacred damage.

Weapon of Flame (Su): Starting at 6th level, an exorcist of the Silver Flame wielding her chosen weapon deals an extra 1d6 points of fire damage on a successful hit.

Weapon of Law (Su): Starting at 8th level, an exorcist of the Silver Flame wielding her chosen weapon treats the weapon as lawful-aligned, good-aligned, silver, and magic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Weapon of Sacred Flame (Su): Starting at 9th level, an exorcist of the Silver Flame wielding her chosen weapon deals an extra 1d6 points of sacred damage on a successful hit.

Warding Flame (Su): At 10th level, an exorcist of the Silver Flame can bathe herself in silver flame as a free action. As long as the warding flame covers her, she gains a +2 sacred bonus to Armor Class and saving throws. In addition, she gains spell resistance 25 against evil spells and spells cast by evil creatures.

Any evil creature that makes a successful melee attack against an exorcist of the Silver Flame while she is bathed in her warding flame must make a Fortitude save (DC 20 + exorcist's Cha modifier) or be blinded.

The warding flame also provides bright illumination up to 30 feet from the exorcist and shadowy illumination up to 60 feet. It can be dismissed at any time.
