Path of the Ruler

Aura of Subjugation (Su)

At 1st level the ruler’s aura of subjugation has a range of 30 feet and all creatures other than the ruler within its area of effect take a -1 penalty to their Will saving throws and a -2 penalty to all Sense Motive checks. He may choose to exclude a number of creatures equal to his Intelligence modifier from the effects of this aura.

At 5th level the ruler’s control over his aura of subjugation improves and the penalty to Will saving throws increases to -2 and the penalty to Sense Motive checks increases to -4.

At 9th level the ruler’s aura increases to a 60 foot radius and any ally within its area of effect whom the ruler has chosen to exclude from its penalties instead gains a +2 bonus to their Will saving throws.

At 13th level the penalty to Will saving throws inflicted by the aura increases to -3 and the penalty to Sense Motive checks increases to -6.

At 17th level, the ruler’s aura of subjugation is near absolute; as an immediate action the ruler may force a single creature within the aura’s area of effect to reroll a Will saving throw or Sense Motive check.
