tive level of spellcasting. If a character had more than
one spellcasting class before becoming a legate martial,
he must decide to which class he adds the new level for
purposes of determining spells per day.
Tactical Insight (Ex): The legate martial can
anticipate an opponent’s tactics and rob him of advan-
tage in battle. To use this ability, the legate martial must
select a single opponent within 30 feet and study the
foe’s movements as a full-round action. The legate mar-
tial need not be in combat with this foe. While studying
the opponent, the legate martial cannot attack but
defends himself normally. At the end of this period, the
legate and all allies within 60 ft. gain a +1 divine bonus
on attack rolls and AC against that opponent for the
duration of the combat. When the legate martial reaches
5th level, the bonus increases to +2, and by 9th level the
bonus increases to +3. Legates martial often stay behind
the lines and use this ability to aid their minions.
Bonus Feats: At 2nd, 6th, and 10th level, the
legate martial can take one of the following feats as a
bonus: Cleave, Combat Casting, Combat Reflexes,
Great Cleave, Greater Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon
Specialization, Improved Two-weapon Fighting,
Mounted Combat, Ride-by Attack, Spirited Charge,
Trample, Two-Weapon Fighting, Weapon Finesse, or
Weapon Focus. The legate martial must still meet the
prerequisites for any feats that require them.
Increase Morale (Ex): At 3rd level, the legate
martial can improve the morale and skill of anyone
under his command that is within the sound of his voice
once per day. The following effects apply to any allies
within 60 feet:

• All fear effects are automatically dispelled

• All allies gain a bonus on their next attack and
damage rolls equal to the legate martial’s class level
• All allies gain a bonus to AC for one round equal
to the legate martial’s Charisma modifier

Divine Enhancement (Su): The legate martial

can transform magical energy into raw physical
strength. Beginning at 4th level, a legate martial can
expend a prepared divine spell, gaining a bonus to attack
and damage equal to the level of the expended spell. The
spell is lost as if cast and must be recovered normally.
The legate martial can use this ability a number of times
per day equal to 1 plus his Charisma bonus (if any). At
7th and 10th level, the legate martial gains an addition-
al use of this ability.
Drain Vitality (Su): At 8th level, the legate mar-
tial can use his ability to inflict profane damage on foes
to enhance his own health. The legate martial recovers
any lost hit points equal to the damage inflicted on a foe
using an inflict spell. The legate martial cannot recover
more hit points than his full normal hit point total.
