EPIC DESTINIES

REGENT OF CREATION
Appointed by the pantheon to act in their stead, you are as much a servant as a ruler. The power you carry is a heavy burden, and yet its weight is nothing compared to that of your responsibilities.
Prerequisites: 21st level, dervish

REGENT OF CREATION FEATURES
Regent's Austerity (21st Level): Your Wisdom score and one other ability score of your choice increase by 2.
Bound to Creation (24th Level): Once per day when you begin your turn dying or dead, you can return to life. Your hit point total becomes your bloodied value, and you can stand up as a free action. Until the beginning of your next turn, you gain a +10 bonus to all defenses and cannot mark enemies.
Step of the Regent (30th Level): You ignore difficult terrain and impassable terrain, and whenever you leave a square, you can change that square to difficult terrain if it is normal, to normal terrain if it is difficult, or to difficult terrain if it is impassable. You still cannot move through solid obstacles.

REGENT OF CREATION POWER
Shape Creation
Daily - Conjuration, Divine
Standard Action - Close burst 20
Effect: For each square in the burst, choose an effect,
depending on the square's current terrain:
-if the square is normal terrain, you can make it difficult
terrain
-if the square is difficult terrain, you can make it normal
terrain
-if the square is impassable terrain, you can make it
difficult terrain.
In addition, you can choose up to four unoccupied squares
in the burst. You conjure a solid obstacle in each of these
squares. Each obstacle has 100 hit points and resist 10 to
all damage, and crumbles into difficult terrain if it is
destroyed.
These changes last for 5 minutes or until the end of the
encounter, and this power cannot affect squares that
already contain solid obstacles.
