Aura (Ex)

A pronounciator of chaotic, evil, good, or lawful alignment has a particularly powerful aura corresponding to that alignment, as if she was a cleric of a deity of that alignment (see detect evil for details).

Double Mysteries

The pronounciator begins play with two mysteries, and gains class skills and bonus spells from both her mysteries.

Not A Healer

The pronounciator does not gain the the "cure" or "inflict" spells most oracles learn automatically. They can still learn these spells in the normal manner, using their pool of known spells. This is a modification of the spells ability.

Pronouncement (Su)

As a standard action, a pronounciator can invoke spiritual powers to aid her allies or hinder her enemies, affecting a single creature within 60 ft. All pronunciations last just over one round, until the end of the pronounciator's next turn. There is no saving throw. A pronounciator can choose two pronunciations from the below list at level 1, and gains an additional pronouncement at level 4 and every 4 levels thereafter.

Pronouncement of Range (Su) The pronounciator declares that she has a spiritual touch. She can use spells with a range of touch at as if she had a natural reach of 30 ft. She can add her Charisma bonus instead of her Strength bonus to the attack roll. Using this pronouncement is a swift action, but it lasts only until the end of her turn.

Pronouncement of Reach (Su) The pronounciator declares unity with her allies. She can use spells with a range of personal with a range of touch, but can only affect willing targets. Using this pronouncement is a swift action, but it lasts only until the end of her turn.

Pronouncement of Shielding (Su) The pronounciator invokes protection on an ally. The ally receives temporary hit points equal to the pronounciator's class level.

Pronouncement of Skill (Su) The pronounciator shares some of her skill with an ally. Pick one skill. The ally gains a +2 bonus on checks with that skill. This bonus increases by one for every 5 ranks the pronounciator has in that skill.

Pronouncement of Vulnerability (Su) The pronounciator makes an enemy vulnerable to attack. The enemy takes a -2 penalty to AC.

Pronouncement of Woe (Su) The pronounciator makes an enemy susceptible to woe; the target suffers a -2 penalty to all saving throws.

Pronouncement of Wrath (Su) The pronounciator creates a pool of wrath ready to strike an enemy. The first time the enemy takes damage while pronouncement of wrath lasts, increase the damage by the the pronounciator's class level. This discharges the effect. Additional damage is not multiplied on a critical hit.

Revelations

A pronounciator can select revelations from both her mysteries. A pronounciator gains a revelation at level 1, level 2, level 3, and every 2 levels after level 3 until level 17.

A pronounciator gains the final revelation of one of her mysteries of her choice at level 19, and the final revelation of her other mystery at level 20.
