Summary

Deep in the jungles lie magically hidden ziggurats where the winged serpents known as couatls teach their secrets to arcane spell casters eager to gain a measure of divine power. Those who have learned what the couatl temples have to offer are known as rainbow servants, because they agree to further the couatl’s agenda of virtue and hope no matter how far they stray from the jungle in exchange for the knowledge they’ve received.

Most rainbow servants are sorcerers and wizards, with the occasional bard making the jungle trek. More sorcerers than wizards take on the mantle of the rainbow servant, because access to cleric domains is a compelling goal when spells known are otherwise so limited. Rainbow servants spend much of their time traveling on quests to make right some wrong. The couatls have a potent information network, so when they appear to direct a rainbow servant, they often have information the forces of evil thought they kept secret. But rainbow servants don’t spend every moment at the beck and call of their serpentine masters; the couatls recognize that their servants have agendas of their own. A rainbow servant needs only be mindful that at any time, a couatl could suddenly appear in her life, describing a terrible evil that must be thwarted.

Rainbow servants travel the world—not to mention most of the Outer Planes—fighting evildoers and inspiring hope and mercy wherever they go. Unless they’re traveling incognito, rainbow servants identify themselves with a prominent feathered plume on their headgear. Rainbow servants who’ve completed several quests for their couatl benefactors receive a feathered cape of the couatls as a mark of distinction.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Rainbow Servant.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Rainbow Servant is proficient with whatever they were already proficient with prior to taking levels in this class.

Detect Evil Sp: At will, a rainbow servant can use Detect Evil, as the spell.

Extra Domain: A rainbow servant gains the granted power and spell access of the Good domain at 1st level, the Air domain at 4th level, and the Law domain at 7th level. The rainbow servant generally uses a multicolored feather of a couatl as her divine focus.

Spells per Day/Spells Known: When a new rainbow servant level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a level in whatever spellcasting class in which she could cast 3rd-level arcane spells before she added the prestige class. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (improved chance of controlling or rebuking undead, wild shape ability, and so on). This essentially means that she adds the level of rainbow servant to the level of whatever other spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day accordingly.

If a character had more than one spellcasting class in which she could cast 3rd-level arcane spells before she became a rainbow servant, the player must decide which class to assign each level of rainbow servant for the purpose of determining spells per day and spells known.

Grow Wings Su: Starting at 4th level, a rainbow servant can grow multicolored, feathered wings like that of a couatl. The wings, which allow flight at a speed of 60 feet with good maneuverability, have a daily duration of 1 minute per rainbow servant level, divided up however the rainbow servant wishes. It takes a standard action to grow or eliminate the feathered wings. Restrictive clothing and armor of any kind prevents the wings from growing, and a rainbow servant can't grow wings while grappling.

Detect Chaos Sp: At will, a rainbow servant of 7th level or higher can use Detect Chaos, as the spell.

Cleric Spell Access: A 10th-level rainbow servant can learn and cast spells from the cleric list, even if they don't appear on the lists of any spellcasting class he has. Such spells are cast as divine spells if they don't appear on the sorcerer/wizard or bard spell lists. This class feature grants access to the spells, but not extra spells per day. The 10th-level rainbow servant can likewise read scrolls with cleric spells on them and use wands and staffs that contain cleric spells.

Detect Thoughts Sp: At will, a 10th-level rainbow servant can use Detect Thoughts, as the spell. The save DC is Charisma based.
