Name: Repose

Granted Power: You may use death touch once per day. To deliver a death touch, you must succeed on a melee touch attack against a living creature. When you touch, roll 1d6 per cleric level you possess. If the result equals or exceeds the creature's current hit points, it dies (no save). Death touch is a supernatural ability and a death effect.

Full Description
Hide from Undead
Abjuration [Ectomancy] 1 standard action SRD
Will negates (harmless); see text - Yes APeace 1, Arc 1, Clr 1, HotD 1, Life 1, Repose 1 V, S, DF
10 min./level (D) Touch 4 hours
Targets: One touched creature/level

Undead can't perceive one subject/level.

Undead cannot see, hear, or smell the warded creatures. Even extraordinary or supernatural sensory capabilities, such as blindsense, blindsight, scent, and tremorsense, cannot detect or locate warded creatures. Nonintelligent undead creatures are automatically affected and act as though the warded creatures are not there. An intelligent undead creature gets a single Will saving throw. If it fails, the subject can't see any of the warded creatures. However, if it has reason to believe unseen opponents are present, it can attempt to find or strike them. If a warded creature attempts to turn or command undead, touches an undead creature, or attacks any creature (even with a spell), the spell ends for all recipients.

Gentle Repose (M)
Necromancy 1 standard action SRD
Will negates (object) - Yes (object) Arc 2, Clr 2, Hlr 2, Repose 2, Slayer of Domiel 2, Sor/Wiz 3, Time 2 V, S, M/DF
1 day/level Touch General
Target: Corpse touched
Materials: A: A pinch of salt, and a copper piece for each eye the corpse has (or had).

Preserves one corpse.

You preserve the remains of a dead creature so that they do not decay. Doing so effectively extends the time limit on raising that creature from the dead (see raise dead). Days spent under the influence of this spell don't count against the time limit. Additionally, this spell makes transporting a fallen comrade more pleasant.

The spell also works on severed body parts and the like.

Speak with Dead
Necromancy [Language-Dependent] 10 minutes SRD
Will negates; see text - No Arc 3, Clr 3, HotD 3, Pact 3, Repose 3, Retribution 3, Slayer of Domiel 3, Wuj 6 V, S, DF
1 min./level 10 ft. 30 minutes
Target: One dead creature

Corpse answers one question/two levels.

You grant the semblance of life and intellect to a corpse, allowing it to answer several questions that you put to it. You may ask one question per two caster levels. Unasked questions are wasted if the duration expires. The corpses knowledge is limited to what the creature knew during life, including the languages it spoke (if any). Answers are usually brief, cryptic, or repetitive. If the creatures alignment was different from yours, the corpse gets a Will save to resist the spell as if it were alive.

If the corpse has been subject to speak with dead within the past week, the new spell fails. You can cast this spell on a corpse that has been deceased for any amount of time, but the body must be mostly intact to be able to respond. A damaged corpse may be able to give partial answers or partially correct answers, but it must at least have a mouth in order to speak at all.

This spell does not let you actually speak to the person (whose soul has departed). It instead draws on the imprinted knowledge stored in the corpse. The partially animated body retains the imprint of the soul that once inhabited it, and thus it can speak with all the knowledge that the creature had while alive. The corpse, however, cannot learn new information.

Indeed, it can't even remember being questioned.

This spell does not affect a corpse that has been turned into an undead creature.

Death Ward
Necromancy [Ectomancy] 1 standard action SRD
Will negates (harmless) - Yes (harmless) APeace 4, Arc 4, Blg 4, ChamGwyn 4, Clr 4, Death 4, Drd 5, Hlr 4, HotD 4, Life 4, Pal 4, Repose 4, Shu 4, Slayer of Domiel 4, Undeath 4 V, S, DF
1 min./level Touch 5 minutes
Target: Living creature touched

Grants immunity to death spells and negative energy effects.

The subject is immune to all death spells, magical death effects, energy drain, and any negative energy effects.

This spell doesn't remove negative levels that the subject has already gained, nor does it affect the saving throw necessary 24 hours after gaining a negative level.

Death ward does not protect against other sorts of attacks even if those attacks might be lethal.

Slay Living
Necromancy [Death] [Ectomancy] 1 standard action SRD
Fortitude partial - Yes Arc 5, Clr 5, Death 5, DrgBlw 5, Repose 5 V, S
Instant Touch General
Target: Living creature touched

Touch attack kills subject.

You can slay any one living creature. You must succeed on a melee touch attack to touch the subject, and it can avoid death with a successful Fortitude save. If it succeeds, it instead takes 3d6 points of damage +1 point per caster level.

Undeath to Death (M)
Necromancy 1 standard action SRD
Will negates - Yes Arc 6, Clr 6, Repose 6, Sor/Wiz 6 V, S, M/DF
Instant Medium General
Area: Several undead creatures within a 40-ft.-radius burst
Materials: The powder of a crushed diamond worth at least 500 gp.

Destroys 1d4 HD/level undead (max 20d4).

A circle of death snuffs out the life force of undead creatures, destroying them instantly.

The spell destroys 1d4 HD worth of undead creatures per caster level (maximum 20d4). Creatures with the fewest HD are affected first; among creatures with equal HD, those who are closest to the bursts point of origin are affected first. No creature of 9 or more HD can be affected, and Hit Dice that are not sufficient to affect a creature are wasted.

Destruction (F)
Necromancy [Death] 1 standard action SRD
Fortitude partial - Yes Arc 7, Clr 7, Death 7, Repose 7, Slime 7 V, S, F
Instant Close General
Target: One creature
Focus: A special holy (or unholy) symbol of silver marked with verses of anathema (cost 500 gp).

Kills subject and destroys remains.

This spell instantly slays the subject and consumes its remains (but not its equipment and possessions) utterly. If the target's Fortitude saving throw succeeds, it instead takes 10d6 points of damage. The only way to restore life to a character who has failed to save against this spell is to use true resurrection, a carefully worded wish spell followed by resurrection, or miracle.

Surelife
Abjuration 1 round SRD
- Repose 8 V, S, M
1 min./level Personal 30 minutes
Target: You

Protects you from one kind of certain death.

This spell protects you against some condition--such as being immersed in boiling oil or being buried under an avalanche--that would ordinarily cause certain death. You can protect yourself only against natural occurrence or nonmagical condition, not against a spell or the direct attack of a creature (such as the breath of a dragon or the swords of a group of bandits). At the time of casting, you must specify the condition against which you wish to protect yourself. Should you be subjected to that condition during the duration of the spell, you feel no discomfort and take no damage from the condition, though the spell does not protect any items carried on your person. If you are still subject to the condition at the end of the spell's duration, you suffer its full normal effects.

Wail of the Banshee
Necromancy [Sonic] [Death] [Ectomancy] 1 standard action SRD
Fortitude negates - Yes Death 9, Deathbound 9, Hatred 9, Repose 9, Sor/Wiz 9, Wmg 9 V
Instant Close General
Area: One living creature/level within a 40-ft.-radius spread

Kills one creature/level.

You emit a terrible scream that kills creatures that hear it (except for yourself). Creatures closest to the point of origin are affected first.
