Darkvision: At 3rd level, the pale master gains the ability to see in the dark up to 60 feet.
Undead Graft: At 3rd level, the pale master performs a horrific operation that replaces one of their arms with a supernaturally-animated, undead appendage. The pale master may make a touch attack with this arm that paralyzes the target twice per day. At 5th level, the pale master may use this touch attack three times per day. At 7th level, this feat becomes obsolete as all charges are used instead for Deathless Master's Touch.
Summon Undead: At 4th level, the pale master can use create undead as a spell-like ability once per day.
Deathless Vigor: At 5th level, the pale master gains a +4 bonus to their Fortitude saves.
Tough as Bone: At 6th level, the pale master becomes more and more like one of the implacable undead. They gain immunity to hold, paralysis, and stun effects.
Undead Cohort: At 6th level, the pale master can use create greater undead as a spell-like ability once per day.
Bone Skin: At 7th level, the pale master's tough, cadaverous flesh gives them a +4 natural armor bonus to AC. This AC stacks with enchanted sources of natural AC.
Deathless Master's Touch: At 7th level the pale master's touch becomes deadly and can instantly kill a target. This ability replaces Undead Graft and may be used three times a day. Note, that this does not bypass death immunity.
Deathless Mastery: At 7th level, the pale masters are practically undead creatures themselves. They gain immunity to critical hits.
This class benefits from the PML spell scaling system.
