===Strategies and Tactics===

'''{{Anchor|Disaster Divination}}([[Su]]):''' Absol has the ability to perceive natural(non-outsider/magic) disaster's as if having received the result of an ''[[SRD:Augury|Augery]]'' spell(future sight extended to 30min/HD). At 7HD advancing to ''[[SRD:Divination|Divination]]'' allowing them to see magic-natural disasters (future sight extended to 1day/HD). At 16HD gaining ''[[SRD:Foresight|Foresight]]'' on 1 chosen target at will. 

'''{{Anchor|Psi Resistance}}:([[Su]]):''' Absol automatically passes saving throws against Psionic effects. If an ability does not allow a save and deals damage, it takes half damage. It also gains a +4 bonus on saves against against [[SRD:Mind-Affecting Effect|mind-affecting]] spells.

'''{{Anchor|Nasty Plot}} ([[Ex]]):''' Absol can spend a full-round action plotting. This causes it to discover evil tricks and tactics, granting it a +4 Enhancement bonus to Intelligence and Charisma for three rounds. Additionally, during those three rounds, its melee attacks gain the benefits of "Trip" (Trip bonus +2) and +2d6 Sneak Attack damage.This is a [Dark] effect, and automatically wins an extra point if going first in a Contest. 

'''{{Anchor|Sneak Attack}} ([[Ex]]):''' Absol has +5d6 Sneak Attack damage on its attacks against foes who are Flanked or denied their Dexterity Bonus to Armour Class. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1HD, and it increases by 1d6 every two HD thereafter. This is a [Dark] effect, and automatically wins an extra point if going first in a Contest. 

'''{{Anchor|Flinch}} ([[Ex]]):''' Any target bitten must make a DC 14 Fort save or be [[SRD:Stunned|stunned]] for one round. This is a [Dark] effect. The save DC is Strength-based.

'''{{Anchor|Air Slash}} {{Su}}:''' At will, Absol can launch a blade of aerokinetic force. This is a ranged touch attack that does 1d4 slashing and force damage per Hit Die and requires the target to make a [[Will]] save to avoid being [[SRD:Stunned|stunned]] for 1 round. The stun is a [Fear, Mind-Affecting] effect, and the blade itself is an [Air] effect. The save DC is Charisma-based. (DC:9+1 cha mod)

'''[[SRD:Evasion and Improved Evasion#Evasion|{{Anchor|Evasion}}]] ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 2nd level and higher, a rogue can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex]] [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A [[SRD:Helpless|helpless]] rogue does not gain the benefit of evasion.

''{{Anchor|[[SRD:Evasion and Improved Evasion#Improved Evasion|Improved Evasion]]}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):'' This ability works like [[#Evasion|evasion]], except that while the rogue still takes no damage on a successful [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex]] [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] against attacks henceforth she henceforth takes only half damage on a failed save. A [[SRD:Helpless|helpless]] rogue does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.

'''{{Anchor|Trap Sense}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 3rd level, a rogue gains an intuitive sense that alerts her to danger from [[SRD:Traps|traps]], giving her a +1 bonus on [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex]] saves made to avoid [[SRD:Traps|traps]] and a +1 dodge bonus to [[SRD:AC|AC]] against attacks made by traps. These bonuses rise to +2 when the rogue reaches 6th level, to +3 when she reaches 9th level, to +4 when she reaches 12th level, to +5 at 15th, and to +6 at 18th level.

'''{{Anchor|Uncanny Dodge}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' Starting at 4th level, a rogue can react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She retains her [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] bonus to [[SRD:AC|AC]] (if any) even if she is caught [[SRD:Flat-Footed|flat-footed]] or struck by an [[SRD:Invisible|invisible]] attacker. However, she still loses her [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] bonus to [[SRD:AC|AC]] if immobilized.

'''{{Anchor|Improved Uncanny Dodge}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' A rogue of 8th level or higher can no longer be flanked.

Feat Benifits Gained depending on BaB.

''{{Anchor|Slippery Mind}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):'' This ability represents the rogue’s ability to wriggle free from magical effects that would otherwise control or [[SRD:Compulsion Subschool|compel]] her. If a rogue with slippery mind is affected by an enchantment spell or effect and fails her [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]], she can attempt it again 1 [[SRD:Round|round]] later at the same [[SRD:DC|DC]]. She gets only this one extra chance to succeed on her [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]].

+1: You die at -20 instead of -10.
 
+6: Your opponents do not inflict extra damage from the Power Attack option.
