====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the ravaged by Baphomet.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Ravaged by Baphomet become proficient in the [[Spiked Hammer (3.5e Equipment)|spiked hammer]]. They gain no additional armour or shield proficiencies.

'''{{Anchor|Spellcasting or Bonus Feat}}:''' When a ravaged by Baphomet gains their first class level, they can choose to either advance spellcasting or not to. If they choose to advance spellcasting, gaining a level in ravaged by Baphomet counts as gaining a level in their previous class for the purposes of spells known and spells per day. If they had multiple classes capable of casting spells, they choose which one is advanced in this manner.

If they choose not to advance spellcasting, they gain a bonus feat at each level of ravaged by Baphomet. They must meet all the prerequisites for a feat to take it. Once this choice is made, it cannot be changed, and remains constant no matter how many levels of ravaged by Baphomet are taken.

'''{{Anchor|Abyssal Power}} {{Su}}:''' The mighty power of the Abyss flows through a ravaged by Baphomet. If they have any spell-like abilities or spells, their caster level always equals their character level (or CR), and any DCs for these spells or spell-like abilities is worked out as if it were a supernatural ability (10 + 1/2 the ravaged by Baphomet's character level or CR + the appropriate ability score modifier).

'''{{Anchor|Scion of Strength}}:''' A ravaged by Baphomet gains a close connection to the powers of strength. This has different effects depending on whether the ravaged by Baphomet is a spellcaster or not.

If the ravaged by Baphomet is not a spellcaster, they gain the following spell-like abilities at the designated character level (or CR), each useable once per day. If their character level or CR exceeds the minimum character level or CR of the spell-like ability by 2 or 3, then they may use that ability 3/day instead, and if it exceeds the minimum character level or CR of the spell-like ability by 4 or more, they may use it at-will. These abilities have Charisma-based DCs and a caster level equal to the ravaged by Baphomet's character level (or CR).

|-

|}

If the ravaged by Baphomet is a spellcaster, they add all of the above spells to their class list, and learn them when they reach the marked character level (or CR). They cast them as they would normally cast spells from their class. If the ravaged by Baphomet had multiple spellcasting classes, apply this to all of them.

'''{{Anchor|Brute Force}} {{Ex}}:''' A ravaged by Baphomet can channel an unnatural surge of physical might, declaring a successful melee attack he has just made to be an automatically confirmed critical hit. Even creatures normally immune to critical hits take half of the increased damage result. A ravaged by Baphomet can use this ability three times per day. At 2nd level, this ability can be used 5/day.

'''{{Anchor|Ravage Form}} ([[Sp]]):''' As a full-round action, a 2nd level ravaged by Baphomet may bestow Baphomet's ravage on a creature eligible to gain a level. That creature gains its first level in the ravaged by Baphomet racial paragon class. If the ravaged by Baphomet attempts to ravage an unwilling creature, it receives a Will save to resist (Charisma-based DC).

====Ex-Ravaged By Baphomet====

As the prince of strength, Baphomet chooses his ravaged carefully; as the prince of tyranny, he ensures their continued loyalty. However, if for some unfathomable reason they choose to forsake his gifts and risk his ire, they lose access to any spells, spell-like abilities and supernatural abilities from this class, and cannot continue to advance in it. They may [[SRD:Atonement|atone]] if they want to continue advancing and get their powers back, but such flip-flopping is not considered a sign of strength and is not likely to be appreciated by the Crown Bull.
