SPECIAL ABILITIES
Exorcise (Su)
Once every 1d4+1 rounds as an immediate action, Tesleen will drop bright light beneath all foes within 90 feet from her. On the following round the holy light will do 6d6 points of holy damage to the target, then doing 2d6 points of holy damage for 7 rounds after in a 15-ft.-radius at the place the target was standing at. Anyone who steps in one of these holy light auras will be inflicted with the Bleed status effect doing 2d4 points of damage unless they make a Fortitude save (DC 24) per round in them, this however only negates the Bleed status effect.
Fevered Flagellation (Ex)
Once every 1d2+1 rounds, Tesleen will howl really loudly at the end of her turn. On the following round, as a full-round action Tesleen will charge with incredible speed against everyone in a 60-ft. radius around her, not provoking any attacks of opportunity, making a single claw attack at +27 against each target. Randomly determine who she attacked last and place her next to that character after this attack is used.
Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex)
Along with the benefits of the uncanny dodge ability, Tesleen can no longer be flanked. This defense denies a thief the ability to sneak attack Tesleen by flanking her, unless the attacker has at least four more thief levels than Tesleen’s HD.
Razor-sharp Claws (Ex)
Due to having oversized claws and being extremely sharp, Tesleen’s claws are considered two size categories larger and her critical tier is increased to x3.
Scold’s Bridle (Su)
Once every 1d4+1 rounds as a standard action, Tesleen releases a burst of holy energy. All creatures within 90 feet from her take 12d6 points of holy damage and she is healed for half of the total damage done per target. Everyone in the area of effect must make a Reflex save (DC 24) for half damage and reduces the heal by ¼ of the total damage per target.
The Tickler (Ex)
Once every 1d4+2 rounds as a full round action, Tesleen strikes down with furious divine power towards an opponent within reach. She must make a successful melee attack (+25), if she succeeds she does 12d8 points of damage (half holy/slashing).
