Possessions +5 dark elven chain of freedom, black bow, maelat, shama, shevarash’s cloak, traitorbane, ukava
Abhorrence (unique salient divine ability) Any attack that Shevarash deals against a servant of Lolth inflicts an extra +5 points of divine damage. Any weapon he wields against a servant of Lolth doubles its critical threat range and critical damage multiplier and on a critical hit forces such creatures to succeed at a Fortitude save or die (DC 60 for melee weapons or DC 61 for ranged weapons). Shevarash can additionally apply his Banestrike salient divine ability to any salient divine ability, spell, or spell-like ability he uses against drow.
Alter Reality Shevarash is an embodiment of divine power and reality is his to alter as he sees fit. This effectively functions as the wish spell that costs him no XP and requires a standard action to implement. In effect, this allows Shevarash to duplicate any effect as long as it relates to his area of influence. For example, he can duplicate any class skill, ability or spell that relates to military crusades and vengeance, especially against the drow. He can pierce through the mundane and mystical protections of the servants of Lolth, turn the very Underdark against them, or empower the foes of the drow that their spells and weapons land true against the children of Lolth.
The Black Archer can create temporary, nonmagical objects, magic items or creatures for up to 5 hours, and can also create permanent nonmagical objects. He can also render a magical or supernatural effect permanent and reshape landscapes. The limits to these abilities are fully defined in Deities and Demigods.
Alter Size As a free action, Shevarash can assume any size from Fine to Colossal. He also can change the size of up to 500 pounds of objects he touches.
Avatar Shevarash can have up to two avatars at any given time. He appears as a tall, muscular green elf clad in elven chain mail and a shadowy cloak.
Brutal Strike (Ex) Shevarash has received instruction on drow physiology, learning the race's vital points, major arteries, and pain centers, thus allowing him to fight the drow with ruthless efficiency. On his turn, he may add +4 to either one attack roll or one damage roll, but not both. He must declare where the bonus applies at the start of his action.
Death Attack (Ex) Shevarash can make a death attack (Fort DC 33) against a drow that is denied its Dexterity bonus to AC (whether or not it actually has one). This ability functions like the assassin's death attack except that that he only needs to make a melee attack that successfully does damage, not a sneak attack.
Demon Bane (Su) Shevarash can use his bane bonuses against any type of chaotic evil outsider.
Divine Blast Shevarash can create a ray of divine power that extends for up to 5 miles, dealing up to 20d12 points of damage, as a ranged touch attack with no saving throw. Shevarash can unleash a divine blast 18 times per day, and alter the visual, auditory and sensation-based qualities of his divine blast as he desires. Shevarash’s divine blasts generally appear as bright white flame.
Divine Shield As a free action 20 times per day, Shevarash can create a shield that lasts 10 minutes and stops 220 points of damage from attacks. Once the shield stops that much damage, it collapses. Any damage Shevarash is naturally immune to does not count towards the shield’s limits.
Drow Bane (Su) Shevarash has a +3 competence bonus to attack rolls and a +3d6 bonus to damage rolls when fighting drow. This benefit has not been incorporated into the above statistics.
Drow Sign Language (Ex) Shevarash has learnt the silent language of his prey. Using these hand signals, he can communicate silently with fellow crusaders at distances of up to 120 feet as long as they can see each other.
Drowic Change (Su) Shevarash can alter his appearance to that of a drow as the spell alter self (CL 10th).
Elf Favored Enemy (Ex) Shevarash’s favored enemy ability grants him a +2 bonus on Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Spot, and Survival checks used against his favored enemies, and a +2 bonus on weapon damage rolls against such creatures. The bonuses increase to +3 against humanoid (orc) and undead enemies, and to +12 against servants of Lolth. "Servants of Lolth" includes drow, monstrous spiders of all sizes, and driders.
Elf Traits Shevarash has a +2 racial bonus on Will saves against enchantment spells or effects. He has low-light vision and is entitled to a Search check when within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door as thought actively looking for it. He is proficient with the shortbow, longbow, longsword, and rapier.
Hated Enemy Damage Reduction (Ex) Sheverash has DR 11/- against drow.
Hated Enemy Spell Resistance (Ex) Shevarash can avoid the effects of spells and spell-like abilities that would directly affect him, as long as they originate from drow. Against such effects, Shevarash gains a +25 bonus to his Spell Resistance.
Overcome Drow Spell Resistance (Su) Shevarash has a +2 bonus to overcome the spell resistance of drow and driders.
Poison Resistance (Su) Shevarash has a +10 resistance to saves against poison from spiders or poison manufactured by the drow.
Rage (Ex) Shevarash can fly into a rage twice per day for 22 rounds, gaining phenomenal strength and durability but becoming reckless and less able to defend himself. He temporarily gains a +4 bonus to Strength and Constitution, and a +2 morale bonus on Will saves, but suffers a -2 penalty to AC.
Rancor (Su) Shevarash can deliver a powerful blow to drow. Once per round, on his action, he can designate one of his attacks against a drow as a rancor attack before the attack roll is made. A successful rancor attack deals +5d6 points of extra damage. This extra damage is not multiplied on a critical hit. The extra damage from a rancor attack applies even if that hated enemy is immune to critical hits.
Resist Poison (Ex) Shevarash has a +4 bonus on Fortitude saving throws against poison.
See the Light (Sp) Shevarash can cast sunbeam three times per day (DC 27; CL 10th).
Solitary Hunting Shevarash has traded away his ability to summon an animal companion to become more self-reliant. His favored enemy bonus also applies to his attack rolls.
Spider Bane (Su) Shevarash uses his drow bane bonuses against any type of spider, as well as aranea, driders, retrievers, and bebiliths.
Strongheart Slayer (Ex) Shevarash has a +4 morale bonus on Will saves against the spells and spell-like abilities of drow and driders, and a +4 morale bonus on Fortitude saves against the poison of monstrous spiders.
Underground Tracking (Ex) Shevarash can track underground with no penalty for poor visibility. Furthermore, hard surfaces (like the solid stone most tunnels are made of) are treated as firm surfaces for the purpose of making tracking attempts.
Webwalking (Su) Shevarash can ignore web spells and spider webbing as if affected by a freedom of movement spell. He can walk along webs as if on solid ground (no Balance check is required).
Possessions
Shevarash’s favored weapon is the Black Bow, a +7 keen composite longbow of exit wound and splitting that turns any arrow it fires at a drow or any other servant of the Dark Seldarine into a greater arrow of slaying (Fort DC 61 for 25d6 damage). The black bow’s composite property always matches Sheverash’s current Strength score. He also carries traitorbane, a +6 keen vicious longsword that resolves all melee attack rolls made with it against drow as touch attacks.
When Shevarash appears as Elikarashe to the Yuir, he wields three principal weapons: shama, a +4 spear of anarchic and holy power; maelat, a +4 club that deals 1d20 points of divine damage per round to anyone that wields it for any reason other than defending Yuir or the Yuirwood; and ukava, a +4 sling that reloads as a free action and creates its own bullets made of pure force.
The Night Hunter also wears +5 dark elven chain with no maximum Dexterity bonus. When Shevarash so desires, his green cloak of resistance +10 functions as a girdle of hate against all his favored enemies; this bonus has not been incorporated into the above statistics.
Other Divine Powers
As a demipower, Shevarash treats a 1 on an attack roll or saving throw normally and not as an automatic failure. He is immortal and cannot die from natural causes.
Senses Shevarash can hear, touch, and smell at a distance of five miles. As a standard action, he can perceive anything within five miles of his worshipers, holy sites, objects, or any location where one of his titles or name was spoken in the last hour. He can extend his senses to up to two locations at once. He can block the sensing power of deities of his rank or lower at up to two remote locations at once for up to five hours.
Portfolio Sense Shevarash is aware of any military act against the drow as long as the event affects at least one thousand people. He is similarly aware of any act of retribution or any oath of vengeance against the drow as long as the event is of similar scale.
Automatic Actions Shevarash can use any skill related to his portfolio as a free action if the DC for the task is 15 or lower. He can perform up to five such free actions each round.
Create Magic Items Shevarash can create any type of magic item that harms or debilitates the Dark Seldarine and their servants as long as the item’s market price does not exceed 4,500 gp.
