Class Features
Firewalk (Sp): At 1st level a Bane Knight can walk into any fire large enough to fit his person and appear in any other fire that is likewise of sufficient size anywhere on any plane of existence. The Bane Knight must know where the target fire is. The Bane knight can take any number of willing creatures or carried objects that are also able to fit in both flames
Holocaust Steed: Bane knight calls upon the forces of universal destruction for aid and it is granted to him. Sometimes this thing appears as a lion or bear but sometimes stranger more horrific forms arrive to serve.
Holocaust Steed has HD equal to Bane Knights char level minus 3,
All holocaust steeds are custom-built:
*CR equal to Magical Beast hit dice
*Huge Size (Long), 50' movement
*Either Fly 30' (Average), or Burrow 40'.
*Quadrupedal and Stable
*Natural Armour equal to hit dice
*Str 20, Dex 15, Con 18, Int 5, Wis 12, Cha 9. Add +1 to any one ability score for every hit die.
*2 Claws (3d6+Str) and a Bite (4d6+1/2 Str) or 2 Claws (3d6+1/2 Str) and a Tail Slap (4d6+Str+1/2) or 4 Tendrils (2d6+Str) or Bite (4d6+Str) and Gore (4d6+Str, double on a charge)
*Damage Reduction/Wood and Immunity to Fire and Acid Resistance equal to Hit Dice
* Anytime this creature charges all opponents within 100ft must make a will save or suffer the effects of a confusion spell (DC = 10 + half HD + Wisdom modifier). Duration 1d4 rounds
* May Render Self and Rider ethereal as the spell Ethereal 2/day for 1 minute per hit die.
* Savage Burst: As a standard action a Holocaust Steed can roar and cause an explosion of gore from its body centered on itself, creates a burst that does 1d6 damage per hit die(reflex for half). 1/2 of the damage is from fire, 1/2 is acid. Anyone who fails the save for this is Blinded for 1d4 rounds.
Plague of Flame(ex): All Bane Knights are immune to fire and no longer need to breathe. In addition they may set any unattened object on fire with a swift action up to medium range.
Spiritual Entropy(Su): The Bane Knights soul is a churning malestrom of destuction, this ironically provides him with several benefits. Any divination attempts that would reveal or veiw the location of the Bane Knight with a range greater than medium causes the caster to make Will save (10+1/2 hd+chr mod) or be driven insane permanently as the insanity spell.
Bane Knights are also immune energy drain and compulsion effects.
Spheres At second level the Bane Knight gains basic access to the Sphere of Pyre, at fourth level the Bane Knight gains basic access to the Sphere of Carnage.
Bonus Feats: At Second Level and Forth Level the Bane Knight Gains a bonus feat chosen from the following list: Mage Slayer, Giant Slayer, Ghost Slayer, or Track.
Designate Opponent: a Bane Knight , if already possessing Knight Levels, may add their Bane Knight level minus 2 to their effective Knight level for the purpose of bonus damage against Designated Opponents.
Spew Vitirol (Su) Any time a Bane Knight uses its designate opponent ability he may make a ranged touch attack and spit acid on that opponent as a move action. That opponent takes damage equal to the knights designate opponent dice, and again at the end of each round in which they did not damage the knight succesfully. This effect ends upon the Bane Knights death or the opponent takes a full round action denature the acid. (usually w/water, but we'll accept rolling in the dirt for the sake of argument.)
Extreme Burning!!!
A 5th Level Bane Knight can as a swift action cause any creature or objects within medium range to burst into an unholy flame. The black crackling energy outlined in bright red otherwise resembles and behaves like regular flame with the following exceptions:
*Bypasses fire immunity(except that of other BaneKnights and the Baneknight himself)
*Deals cumlative damage each round 1d6;2d6;3d6...and so on...
*Generates a 20ft Radius anti-magic field (this field does not affect any effect generated by the Baneknight himself or any other bane knight)
*Any creature who dies under the effects of extreme burning will have its corpse conusmed completely in 2d6 rounds leaving behind a gem of solid polished obsidian this gem contains the soul of the creature and has a value/hit dice ratio as explained in the tome series. That creature may not be raised or resurected by any means less than Multiple Wish/Miracle spells, followed by true resurrection. A creatures allies may extinguish the flames as a full round action, before it is completely consumed preventing this.
This effect ends automatically if the Bane Knight is killed. Use of this power always automatically reveals the location of the bane knight to its target.

Hmm... I might try for another one after this if I can rifle through concepts and abilities. I was sad that I couldn't quite fit stinking cloud on the list somewhere, but having the sphere's and all it seemed needless really.
