Malcanthet is a lover, not a fighter - she will attempt to use her magic to convince her enemies to fight each other, or better still, not fight at all.

Her spell-like abilities also give her a wide range of options for dealing with her enemies - or escape, if needs beStuff about how Graz'zt fights goes here.

'''{{Anchor|Tongues}} ([[Su]]):''' Malcanthet can speak to any creature, as if under the effects of a [[SRD:Tongues|''tongues'']] spell (caster level 23rd). This ability is always activeDescriptions go here.

=== Graz'''{{Anchor|Touch of Dark Ecstasy}} {{Su}}''' Malcanthetzt's touch is one of the most intensely pleasurable experiences one can feel, but it also steals away the soul. Any touch by Malcanthet, as well as any successful grapple checks, inflict one negative level per Malcanthet's CR (23 by default). Assuming the creature survives, the Fort save to remove these negative levels is Charisma-based (32 by default). Her touch also causes so much pleasure that it requires a DC 32 Will save (Cha-based) from the touched creature, or it becomes dazed with pleasure for 6 rounds. Those who fail this save are also afflicted with a [[SRD:Suggestion|''suggestion'']] that forces them to seek out the touch again, no matter the cost.Worshippers ===

Those killed by this ability transform into [[Succubus (3.5e Monster)|succubi]] instead of wightsStuff about mortal worshippers.

Malcanthet may use her touch instead of a normal attack for the purpose of attacks of opportunity. '''{{Anchor|True Mistress of Temptation}} {{Ex}}:''' Malcanthet can tempt almost anything, even those that would normally be immune. She ignores the following immunities on any creature whose CR or character level is lower than 20: charms, compulsions, fear effects, enchantments and mind-affecting effects. If the immunity comes from a spell, Malcanthet only ignores it if its caster level is below 20th. === Malcanthet's Equipment === '''The Bloodmare Stone''' Although Malcanthet rarely wears clothes unless she has to, this blood-red stone, set in silver and suspended by a thick chain, also of silver, is never far from her body, usually hanging just above her breasts. It almost forces the eye to gaze upon it, and within it, souls can be seen to writhe. It is believed that the stone was the place where Malcanthet hid her angelic essence, and that her angelic sword was melted down to make its setting. If this is true, then breaking this amulet could potentially release this essence - although what this could cause is unknown. The ''Bloodmare Stone'' can be commanded to appear as a suit of any kind of clothing. This is not an illusion - it actually transforms into those clothes. If removed, they rapidly decay to nothingness. The ''Bloodmare Stone'' is always clearly visible as part of such an outfit, although its precise form might change - it might appear as a large decorative jewel on a dress, or a large ring, etc. Commanding the ''Bloodmare Stone'' to become a suit of clothing, to change this clothing, or to return to its normal form all require a swift action. Additionally, those gazing at Malcanthet feel their eye intensely drawn to the stone, making them distracted and unable to focus. Every time a creature attacks Malcanthet, or uses an ability on her requiring line of sight, it must make a DC 32 Will save (Cha-based) or take a -6 penalty on any rolls and any DCs for any action affecting Malcanthet this round. Success grants immunity to this ability for 24 hours. Lastly, Malcanthet has regeneration 25 and a +6 armour bonus to AC as long as she wears this stone, as she can draw on the power of her angelic essence. The armour bonus also applies to touch attacks against Malcanthet, and nothing can bypass the regeneration. This makes Malcanthet incredibly difficult to kill, and she must be parted from the stone before she can be truly destroyed. === Malcanthet's Worshippers === Malcanthet has a relatively broad base of worship, as many seek the gifts of her sexual abilities and the way it can control others. Cults to her tend to be quite secretive, however, as they risk exposure on more fronts than most. Her clerics tend to be women, but the vast majority of ordinary cultists are instead men. They seek to use sex and its power to ruin and destroy as much as possible - relationships, friendships, cities, nations... even worlds if possible. Always seeking to be the power behind the throne, such cults are hard to locate, and even harder to root out, as they draw upon the most fundamental of passions. In the Abyss, Malcanthet's most numerous Stuff about Abyssal servants are [[Succubus (3.5e Monster)|succubi]], whose patron (if not outright creator) she is considered to be. A large number of the monstrous [[Nalfeshnee (3.5e Monster)|nalfeshnees]] also serve her.
