Detect Thoughts (Su) A naityan rakshasa can continuously

negates). It can suppress or resume the ability as a free
action. The save DC is Charisma-based. It does not need to
concentrate in order to read the thoughts of those who failed
their Will saves, and cannot read the thoughts of creatures
that passed the save. Creatures that successfully save against
this ability are immune to the aura for the next 24 hours.

Change Shape (Su) A naityan rakshasa can assume the form

of any Medium humanoid. If slain while in a form other than it's
natural one, it reverts to it's natural form one minute after
dying.

Style Shapes (Su) A naityan rakshasa gains the maneuvers

of particular martial disciplines and other abilities by adopting
specific shapes using its change shape ability. When changing
into one of these shapes, the rakshasa retains its claw and
bite attacks and automatically adopts the stance listed for the
shape. If the rakshasa cannot maintain the stance for some
reason, it reverts to its natural form and loses access to the
martial maneuvers the style shape grants. A naityan rakshasa
can use only one maneuver per turn. Thus, if it uses a strike
maneuver on its turn, it cannot then use a counter against an
opponent while waiting for its turn to come up again. In any of
these shapes, a naityan rakshasa has the backward hands
typical of the rakshasa race. Maneuvers granted by these
forms care not expended when initiated the way normal
maneuvers are. Using this ability is part of using the Change
Shape ability, and requires no action of it's own.

Earth Serpent: In this shape, a naityan rakshasa has

a snakelike head, a snake’s tail instead of legs, and gray stony
scales. While it is in earth serpent shape, it gains a +2 bonus

Air Walk (Ex) A reth dekala cannot truly fly, but it naturally
remains aloft. It moves as if constantly under the effects of an
air walk spell, caster level 7th. As an extraordinary ability, this
effect cannot be dispelled or suppressed by an antimagic field
or similar ability. If the reth dekala falls unconscious or dies,
this effect ends as though the duration had expired.

Aligned Strike (Su) A reth dekala’s natural weapons, as well

as any weapons it wields, are treated as lawful-aligned and
evil-aligned for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.

Fortification (Ex) Due to its unusual body composition, a reth

dekala has a 50% chance to ignore the extra damage dealt by
a critical hit or sneak attack.

Martial Maneuvers A reth dekala knows several martial

maneuvers and stances (initiator level 5th). It recovers
expended maneuvers by resting and meditating for 5 minutes.
It can use each maneuver once per encounter. It does not
need to ready the maneuvers in order to initiate them.

Vilefire Aura (Su) The corrupt fire that comprises a reth

dekala’s body burns and sickens those who close with it. Each
round at the beginning of the reth dekala’s turn, creatures
adjacent to the reth dekala take 1d6 points of damage; living
creatures also become sickened for 1 round. A DC 15 Fort
save negates both effects. Half the damage dealt is acid
damage and half is fire damage (do not round the damage; a
creature must be resistant or immune to both damage types in
order to ignore the damage dealt by this effect). The save DC
