True Seeing (Su) As the true seeing spell; continuous; CL 16th.<br />
AC Bonus (Ex) As a dervish, Zuvexus gains a +1 bonus to her<br />
AC as long as she’s not wearing medium or heavy armor<br />
and not carrying a shield. She loses this bonus when she<br />
is immobilized or helpless.<br />
Fast Movement (Ex) Zuvexus has a +5-foot enhancement<br />
bonus to her speed.<br />
Constrict (Ex) Zuvexus deals 4d6+18 points of damage<br />
with a successful grapple check. A constricted creature<br />
must make a DC 29 Fortitude save or lose consciousness<br />
for as long as it remains in her coils and for 2d4 rounds<br />
thereafter.<br />
Improved Grab (Ex) Zuvexus can start a grapple as a free<br />
action without provoking attacks of opportunity whenever<br />
she hits an opponent with her tail slap attack. If she<br />
succeeds on the grapple check, she can constrict.<br />
Dervish Dance (Ex) Once per day, Zuvexus can become a<br />
whirling dancer of death. While in this dance, she can take<br />
a full attack action (for melee attacks only) and still move<br />
up to her speed as long as she moves a minimum of 5 feet<br />
between each attack (and does not return to a square she<br />
just left). She gains a +1 bonus on damage rolls with<br />
slashing weapons while dervish dancing, and can do so<br />
only when wielding a slashing weapon and not wearing<br />
medium or heavy armor. While dervish dancing, she<br />
cannot use skills or abilities that require concentration or<br />
standing still, but she can use Combat Expertise. The<br />
dance lasts for 1 round for every 2 ranks of Perform<br />
(dance)—thus, Zuvexus can dance for up to 7 rounds. She<br />
becomes fatigued for the duration of the encounter once<br />
her dance ends.<br />
Summon Tanar’ri (Sp) Once per day, Zuvexus can attempt to<br />
summon 4d10 dretches, 1d4 hezrous, or one nalfeshnee<br />
with a 50 % chance of success, or one glabrezu or another<br />
marilith with a 20% chance of success.<br />
Movement Mastery (Ex) Zuvexus can take 10 when making<br />
Jump, Perform (dance), or Tumble checks, even when<br />
threatened or distracted.<br />
Slashing Blades (Ex) Zuvexus treats scimitars as light<br />
weapons.<br />
