Holy Smite Su: At 5th level the Miko gains one of her only offensive abilities. Once per day she can channel the power of her deity to smite an enemy of the Evil alignment. The attack takes a full round to use and is cast as a ray of golden light from the Miko’s finger. She adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her attack roll and deals weapon damage + WIS Mod +Miko Level damage. At levels 11 and 17 the Miko becomes able to use Holy Smite an extra time per day to a maximum of 3 times.

Deity Communication Su: At 10th level, a Miko with 16 ranks in *Perform (Dance)* gains the ability to commune directly with her god through dance once per week. This functions as the spell Commune.

Incarnation Su: At 20th level, a Miko with at least 30 ranks in Perform (Dance) unlocks the most powerful ability of her class. After a special dance lasting 2 full rounds the Miko is able to draw her god’s attention and solidify a connection between them. This can only be done once every 2 weeks. After a burst of Holy power the Miko channels the Deity, becoming their avatar in the mortal realm. While in this state the Miko is able to use the abilities of her deity at around half of their usual power. The Miko can maintain this state for 3 rounds, after which she can either let the connection dissipate naturally or try and continue by force. Should she let it dissipate the connection disappears and the Miko becomes exhausted for 1d6 rounds. In addition the connection saps some of her soul power, resulting in a loss of 150 exp total. Should the Miko try to persist she must roll an ever increasing concentration check after every round (DC 15 + 5 per extension). If she succeeds until eventually letting it dissipate she becomes exhausted for 1d8 rounds and takes more soul power drain than if she had let it end previously (50 extra per round extended). Should she fail the check the ability backfires and the connection shatters. In this situation the Miko takes significantly more damage to her strength and psyche. Drained of all strength she becomes paralyzed for 1d8 hours, after which she’ll be exhausted for another 24 hours. The mental damage is also significant. The backlash drains a large amount of soul power from her (100 per round the ability was active). She also takes 1d6 wisdom damage for a week.
