A vizier who chooses this path is generally a man of great ambition, gravitating towards sultans, kings, and emperors. A ruler constantly emits a powerful aura of subjugation that makes the people around him more amenable to manipulation. This is a supernatural ability. A vizier can deactivate this ability as a free action and reactivate it as a move action.
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 Insight checks. The vizier 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 Insight 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 Insight 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 Insight check.
