|san1=[[SRD:Low-Light Vision|Low-Light Vision]] {{Ex}}|sad1= A siren warrior can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of shadowy illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
|san2=[[SRD:Darkvision|Darkvision]] {{Ex}}|sad2= Darkvision is the [[SRD:Extraordinary Ability|extraordinary ability]] to see with no light source at all, out to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only (colors cannot be discerned). It does not allow sirens to see anything that they could not see otherwise—[[SRD:Invisible|invisible]] objects are still [[SRD:Invisible|invisible]], and illusions are still visible as what they seem to be. Likewise, darkvision subjects a siren to gaze attacks normally. The presence of light does not spoil darkvision.
|san3=[[Siren (3.5e Template)#Amphibious|Amphibious]] {{Ex}}|sad3= Regardless of her form, a siren warrior can breathe both water and air.
|san4=[[Siren (3.5e Template)#Blood Lust|Blood Lust]] {{Ex}}|sad4= Sirens crave fresh blood, and will typically take it any way they can get it. If a siren doesn't get at least a half-pint of fresh blood to drink every 24 hours, she suffers a –2 penalty on [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]], [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] and [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]. This penalty cannot reduce these scores below 1.
|san5=[[SRD:Alternate Form|Alternate Form]] {{Su}}|sad5=A siren warrior can change to or from siren form as a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]]. A natural siren remains in whatever form she had upon her death, as do any separated body parts.
|san6=[[Siren (3.5e Template)#Siren Song|Siren Song]] {{Ex}}|sad6=Twice per day, a siren warrior can screech a horrific discord. A burst of [[SRD:Sonic Effect|sonic]] energy radiates 30 feet from her in all directions. All creatures within the area take 3d6 sonic damage. Targets are allowed a [[SRD:Fortitude|Fortitude]] saves DC 13 to avoid becoming [[SRD:Dazed|dazed]] for one round. Other sirens are naturally resistant to Siren Song.
|san7=[[Siren (3.5e Template)#Blood Drain|Blood Drain]] {{Ex}}|sad7=A siren warrior can deal a ghastly wound to a living victim with her sharp fangs by making a successful [[SRD:Grapple|grapple check]]. If she [[SRD:Pinned|pins]] the foe, her bite drains blood, dealing 1d4 [[SRD:Ability Score Loss#Ability Damage|Constitution]] damage each [[SRD:Round|round]] the pin is maintained.
|san8=[[Siren (3.5e Template)#Sirenum Poison|Sirenum Poison]] {{Su}}|sad8= If a siren warrior hits with her bite attack, she may choose to inject her poison. Any [[SRD:Humanoid Type|humanoid]], [[SRD:Fey Type|Fey]] or [[SRD:Giant Type|giant]] injected with a siren's poison must succeed on a [[SRD:Fortitude|Fortitude]] save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is 13 or become nauseated for 1d4 minutes. One hour later, the victim must make a second save, at the same [[SRD:DC|DC]] or contract [[#Sirenum as an Affliction|sirenum]]. A siren can only produce enough poison for one bite every 24 hours.

''Dripping wet and dressed in shabby rags, her claws gleam in the light. She sways and rocks back and forth smoothly, eyeing you. She looks like a mermaid, but as she smiles, she reveals her ferocious teeth.''

Siren warriors are a scrappy bunch. With little in the way of training, equipment and skills, they use what they have to survive and take down prey.

====Tactics====

Siren warriors prefer to attack in concert and concentrate on weak-looking prey. If the situation looks grim, they will retreat. If they attack a boat, this means simply jumping back overboard. Typically, they attack under cover of night or during a storm or rain.

They may simply try to sink small boats and attack their prey once the ship is waterlogged.

Occasionally a siren warrior will employ trickery and pose as a human before transforming to strike her unaware prey.

Anything that she steals away or isn't using is kept hidden in her lair, often an underwater cave.
