The Dark Harbinger

            This week is Cleric Week so I thought I would make a paragon path for the often-overlooked evil-aligned clerics out there.

Dark Harbinger
“These words of doom shall be the last thing you ever hear.”

            Words have power, and ancient words have an ancient power. The dark harbinger is granted a special knowledge from his or her dark patron, whose ancient and eldritch language flows through the harbinger. In this way, dark harbingers are often their gods’ vessels in the world, serving as a mouthpiece for their gods to speak through. Some dark harbingers have been known to utter profane prophecies of great power, which tend to come true with alarming frequency.

Prerequisites: Evil or chaotic evil, cleric

Abyssal Tongue (11th level): You are fluent in Abyssal.
Harbinger’s Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, each enemy adjacent to you takes necrotic damage equal to your Charisma modifier.
Dark Power (11th level): Whenever you would deal radiant damage, you deal necrotic damage instead.
Lasting Suffering (16th level): Any saving throws made by angel creatures to remove effects you have placed upon them receive a –2 penalty.
