View source for Maurezhi (3.5e Monster)

=== Combat === 

Maurezhi are tremendously capable combatants, preferring to devastate opponents with their claws after closing in quickly with their long, lashing tongues and magical abilities. They always enter battle under the effect of ''[[SRD:Fly|fly]]'', ''[[SRD:Shadow Walk|shadow walk]]'' and ''[[SRD:Deathwatch|deathwatch]]''. Once they have defeated an individual enemy, they devour them if they have the time in order to gain a greater edge in combat.

'''{{Anchor|Consume}} ([[Ex]]):''' As a full-round action, a maurezhi can feast upon a deceased or helpless creature (treat this ability for all intents and purposes as a coup de grace attack in this respect). Doing so also allows the maurezhi to gain a temporary increase in power, gaining all the benefits and drawbacks of gaining a single size category for one round per HD of the target creature. If the maurezhi consumes another creature while enlarged, it does not gain another size category; it merely extends the duration of the current effect. A creature must be of CR 3 or higher in order to gain any benefit from the consumption of a corpse.

'''{{Anchor|Death Claws}} ([[Ex]]):''' A maurezhi’s claws are coated in Abyssal soot that flakes off into those it strikes, infecting their body and causing paralysis. A creature struck by a maurezhi’s claw attack must succeed on a DC 26 Fortitude save or be [[SRD:Paralyzed|paralyzed]] for 1 round; any individual creature cannot be affected by this ability more than once per round. The claws also carry the effect of a ''[[SRD:Greater Dispel Magic|greater dispel magic]]'' spell (using the maurezhi's attack roll in place of a caster level check). This save DC is Strength-based.

'''{{Anchor|Deceased}} ([[Ex]]):''' A maurezhi is similar to an undead creature in multiple respects. It lacks a Constitution score, and its Charisma score effectively replaces its Constitution in all situations. It is also immune to all poisons, diseases, and death effects. These replace demon traits, but not general outsider traits.

'''{{Anchor|Spell-Like Abilities}}:''' At will - ''[[SRD:Chaos Hammer|chaos hammer]]'', ''[[SRD:Death Knell|death knell]]'', ''[[SRD:Deathwatch|deathwatch]]'', ''[[SRD:Greater Teleport|greater teleport]]'', ''[[SRD:Overland Flight|overland flight]]'', ''[[Rien's Rotting Touch (3.5e Spell)|Rien's rotting touch]]'', ''[[SRD:Shadow Walk|shadow walk]]''. Caster level 12th. Save DC’s are Charisma-based, and the default DC for any effect that requires one is 26.
 
'''{{Anchor|Tongue}} ([[Ex]]):''' A maurezhi’s tongue is an exceptionally deadly and versatile appendage, possessing twice the maurezhi‘s normal melee reach. It allows the maurezhi to take a swift action to move a number of feet up to that increased reach. If the maurezhi hits an opponent with its tongue, it may make a trip attempt as a free action useable out of turn.
