Scalykind Domain

You seek power in the divinity of reptiles, and probably speak with a soft hiss to your words to be more like them.

Granted Powers

Venomous Stare (Sp): You are a true lord of reptiles, able to induce pain, panic, and confusion with a mere glance, and your mesmerizing eyes can even drive weak creatures into unconsciousness. As a standard action, you can activate a gaze attack with a 30-foot range. This is an active gaze attack that can target a single creature within range. The target must make a Will save (DC = 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier). Those who fail take 1d6 points of nonlethal damage + 1 point for every two cleric levels you possess and are fascinated until the beginning of your next turn. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier. This is a mind-affecting effect.

Serpent Companion (Ex): At 4th level, you gain the service of an animal companion. Your effective druid level for this animal companion is equal to your cleric level –3. You may only choose non-dinosaur reptiles as companions (such as frilled lizards and reef snakes).

Domain Spells: 1st—magic fang, 2nd—animal trance, 3rd—magic fang (greater), 4th—poison, 5th—animal growth (snakes and lizards only), 6th—eyebite, 7th—creeping doom (takes the form of Diminutive-sized snakes), 8th—animal shapes (snakes and lizards only), 9th—shapechange.

Subdomains

Subdomains replace certain elements of their parent domain. You may choose one subdomain when selecting a given domain.

Dragon

Replacement Power: The following granted power replaces the serpent companion ability of the Scalykind domain.

Dragonbreath (Su): At 4th level, you may use a breath weapon once per day as a standard action. When you gain this ability, choose acid, cold, fire, or electricity—this determines what kind of damage your breath weapon deals. Once you make this choice, you cannot change it later. Your breath weapon fills a 15-foot cone, and deals 3d6 points of damage—this damage increases by 1d6 points for every 2 cleric levels beyond 4th. A creature hit by your dragonbreath attack can attempt a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier) to take half damage. You can use this ability one additional time per day for every 4 cleric levels beyond 4th, but you must wait 1d4 rounds between uses.

Replacement Domain Spells: 3rd—draconic reservoir, 4th—dragon’s breath, 7th—form of the dragon II.

Venom

Replacement Power: The following granted power replace the venomous stare power of the Scalykind domain.

Venomous Saliva (Su): As a swift action, you can spit a gout of life-stealing venom onto a weapon you are wielding. The poison lasts for 1 minute or until you make an attack that injures a foe with that weapon.

Life-Stealing Venom: Injury; save Fort DC 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier; frequency 1/round for 3 rounds; effect 1 Con damage; cure 1 save.

You can use the venomous saliva ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

Replacement Domain Spells: 2nd—pernicious poison, 4th—miasmatic form, 6th—cloudkill.
