Hate Conflagration (Bane)

You manifest a terrible inferno of swirling flames, burning your enemies with contemptuous ease.

As a standard action, select a 15-foot cone, and choose one enemy creature within (or partially within) the area of that cone. Only the target (or targets, if upgraded) you specifically select are subject to the Bane's effects. Any other creatures in the cone's area are unaffected.

Make a ranged touch attack against the target creature. If the attack hits, it inflicts 1d6 + INT modifier points of fire (element energy) damage to that creature. This damage increases by an additional +1d6 points of fire damage per Pariah level above 1st, to a maximum of 25d6 + INT points of fire damage at 25th level). Targets do not receive a saving throw to resist or reduce this damage.

Crits:

• Bane attacks can critically threaten enemies on a to-hit roll result of a natural 20.
• If the follow-up roll confirms the critical hit, Banes inflict double damage on that target.

With Karma:

• If you have Karma when you manifest a Bane, you can target one additional enemy creature, as long as that creature is also within the range of the Bane's area of effect.
• Having karma allows Bane to-hit rolls to automatically confirm any critical threats as critical hits.
