Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Death's chosen gain no proficiency with any weapons, armor, or shields.

Shield of the Master (Ex): Whenever the master of a death's chosen casts a spell or uses an extraordinary, supernatural, or spell-like ability, it can choose (as a free action) to exempt the death's chosen from its effects. The master must make this choice when it casts the spell or uses the ability. If the ability is always active, the master can choose to exempt its death's chosen from the effect; this immunity remains in effect until the master chooses otherwise.

For example, a mummy could (and probably would) choose to make its death's chosen immune to its despair ability. An undead spellcaster casting a fireball into a fight that included its death's chosen could choose when casting the spell to have it not affect the death's chosen.

Vigor of the Chosen (Ex): The physical needs of a death's chosen are greatly reduced. He needs to consume only one-tenth the normal amount of food and water each day—a few grubs and a mouthful of water make a full meal. He can subsist on a mere 2 hours of sleep each night without becoming fatigued (though spellcasters require the normal amount of rest to regain spells). He gains Endurance as a bonus feat (or, if he already has the feat, the bonuses granted by the feat increase to +8). He also gains a +4 bonus on Fortitude saves to resist disease.

Will of the Chosen (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a death's chosen serves his master with inhuman intensity. He gains a +2 morale bonus on Will saves as long as he is within 60 feet of his master.

Bravery of the Chosen (Ex): When within 30 feet of his master, a death's chosen who has attained 3rd level gains a +1 morale bonus on melee attack rolls and melee damage rolls. If his master has been reduced to half or less of its full normal hit points, this bonus increases to +2. The bonus disappears if his master is destroyed.

Unnatural Aura (Su): When a death's chosen reaches 3rd level, wild or domesticated animals can sense his unnatural presence out to a distance of 30 feet. The animals do not willingly approach nearer than that and become panicked if forced to do so. They remain panicked as long as they are within that distance.
