A vizier who chooses this path is generally a man of great ambition, gravitating towards sultans, kings, and emperors. A ruler constantly emits a powerful aura of subjugation that makes the people around him more amenable to manipulation. This is a supernatural ability. Aura of Subjugation (Su)At 1st level the ruler's aura of subjugation has a range of 30 feet and all creatures other than the ruler within its area of effect take a -1 penalty to their Will saving throws and a -2 penalty to all Sense Motive checks. At 5th level the ruler's control over his aura of subjugation improves and he may now choose to exclude a number of creatures equal to his Intelligence modifier from its effects. In addition, the penalty to Will saving throws from his aura of subjugation increases to -2 and the penalty to Sense Motive checks increases to -4. At 9th level the ruler's aura increases to a 60 foot radius and any ally within its area of effect whom the ruler has chosen to exclude from its penalties instead gains a +2 bonus to their Will saving throws. At 13th level the penalty to Will saving throws inflicted by the aura increases to -3 and the penalty to Sense Motive checks increases to -6. At 17th level, the ruler's aura of subjugation is near absolute; as an immediate action the ruler may force a single creature within the aura's area of effect to reroll a Will saving throw or Sense Motive check. |
