Doomguard -
Destruction Embraced
Many members of the Doomguard opt to deny magical healing, choosing not to stave off their own internal entropy.

Prerequisite: Membership in the Doomguard.
Benefit: You gain a bonus equal to 1 + 1 per four character levels that is added to your saving throws and your Armor Class (dodge bonus). You must make a Will save for heal spells (and beat your spell resist if you have any) to affect you and you may not cast heal spells upon yourself.

Prerequisite: Membership in the Doomguard. Destruction Embraced feat, character level 6.
Benefit: You become immune to all death spells, energy drain, and negative energy effects. However, you also gain a bonus to saving throws to resist healing spells equal to half your character level.

Prerequisite: Membership in the Doomguard. Int 13, Power Attack, BAB +5.
Benefit: You may now inflict critical hits on undead and are granted the Death's Ruin feat.
