Spells: A Pharaoh cast divine spells, unlike a cleric she cast her spell spontaneously and do not need to prepare them ahead of time. Unlike other spontaneous spellcasters like the Sorcerer, she does not have spell know. Rather a Pharaoh cast spells directly from her spell list and her Hegemonies.

Familiar: A pharaoh can obtain a familiar (see below). Doing so takes 24 hours and uses up magical materials that cost 100 gp. A familiar is a magical beast that resembles a small animal and is unusually tough and intelligent. The creature serves as a companion and servant.

The pharaoh chooses the kind of familiar she gets. As the pharaoh advances in level, her familiar also increases in power.

If the familiar dies or is dismissed by the pharaoh, the pharaoh must attempt a DC 15 Fortitude saving throw. Failure means he become Sickened for one day per pharaoh level. A slain or dismissed familiar cannot be replaced for a year and day or until the pharaoh gain a level, whichever happen first. A slain familiar can be raised from the dead just as a character can be, and it does not lose a level or a Constitution point when this happy event occurs.

A character with more than one class that grants a familiar may have only one familiar at a time. However their level stack for the purpose of determining how potent a familiar is.

Blood of the Gods: A Messianic Soul is in part the Incarnation of a God and thus her power come from within herself, at least partly. She do not need a Holy Symbol in order to cast her divine spell and gain the benefits of Alternative Eschew Materials for her Messianic Soul spells. Finally unlike a normal Favored Soul, her spellcasting is entirely based off her Charisma modifier, instead of being reliant on both Wisdom and Charisma.

Since her power is partly of herself and partly of the Gods she cannot lose her spellcasting form an alignment change or her action, instead if she offend her deity greatly she loses spell slot as if she had taken a negative level. If her alignment change beyond the range of her deity she loses spell as if she had taken an effective amount of negative level equal to half her class level. She recover these spells normally, even if she does not make amend.

Hegemony: A Pharaoh has access to two hegemony, which are selected from the Cleric's domain list. Unlike a domain, she is able to spontaneously cast spells from each of hegemonies as if they were on her spell list, although like normal spell she must have access to the correct spell level to cast a spell. If the domain power of any of her hegemony was Wisdom-based it become Charisma-based. Unlike a domain, an Hegemony do not need to be picked from a deity's domain list.

If a spell in one of her Hegemony is on her spell list, she instead gain another spell known on the Cleric list of the same level and the same school. If the spell was on the Sorcerer/Wizard list or the Druid list, then the Pharaoh may pick the replacement from that list as well.

Divine Right: A Pharaoh receive power from the both the Gods above and from the arising divine spark within her. At 2nd level and every even level thereafter the Pharaoh receive a divine right ability, she must meet any prerequisites noted in the description of the divine right itself. Once chosen a divine right may not be changed. The Pharaoh pick her divine rights from the following list:
