SPECIAL ABILITIES

Mantis Form (Su)

The Crimson assassin can transform into a blood-red giant praying mantis once per day as a standard action, as if using vermin shape II (caster level 7th). In addition to the normal benefits of the spell, she gains the mantis's darkvision 60 feet, grab, lunge, mandibles, and sudden strike extraordinary abilities. If the Crimson assassin is wielding her magical sawtooth sabres, the magical enhancements apply to the corresponding claw attacks.

Prayer Attack (Su)

The Crimson assassin can hold her sawtooth sabre (or sabres) out point-down and weave the blade in the air as a standard action. She must be visible to her victim and within 30 feet. The victim is fascinated unless it succeeds at a Will save (DC 17 + the assassin's Charisma modifier, with a +2 bonus if she's wielding two sawtooth sabres). The assassin can maintain the fascination by concentrating. Each time a threat other than the assassin appears, the victim can attempt a new saving throw. At any point after 3 rounds, the assassin can make a coup de grace attempt against the target if it's still fascinated. Activating or concentrating on a prayer attack doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity.

Red Shroud (Su)

As a move action, the Crimson assassin can create a veil of red mist. She can do this a number of times per day equal to her Constitution modifier (minimum 1). It lasts for 7 rounds, and grants the assassin a +1 dodge bonus to AC and fast healing equal to her Constitution bonus (minimum 1). If slain while this ability is active, the assassin can choose to disintegrate into a cloud of red mist that leaves behind only her gear in order to deprive her enemies of access to her remains.

Resurrection Sense (Su)

The Crimson assassin can sense if a creature she has slain within the last year has been restored to life, as long as they're both on the same plane.

MAGIC ITEMS

The wearer can spend a charge to gain one of the following for 30 minutes: darkvision 60 feet, the effects of see invisibility , the effects of deathwatch , or a +5 competence bonus on Perception checks. Multiple effects can be active simultaneously.
