Shemhazian
Creature 16 — demon, fiend, unholy

+1 Status to All Saves vs. Magic —
Paralyzing Gaze (aura, divine, unholy, visual) — 30 feet.
A non-demon creature that ends its turn in the aura must attempt a DC 35 Fortitude save. If it fails, it's Slowed 1 for 1 round, and if it critically fails, it is Paralyzed for 1 round.
Succor Vulnerability — A shemhazian's mutilation is a part of them, and they can't bear to see it reversed. The first time each round that a creature heals from damage the shemhazian dealt on their last turn, the demon takes 3d6 mental damage.
Tail Whip —
Enfeebling Bite (divine) — If the shemhazian's jaws Strike damages a creature, the target is Enfeebled 3 for 24 hours. The target can attempt a DC 37 Fortitude save to reduce this to Enfeebled 1 (or be unaffected on a critical success).
Focused Gaze (concentrate, divine, incapacitation, visual) — The shemhazian focuses their gaze on a non-demon creature they can see within 30 feet. If that creature isn't already Slowed by the shemhazian's paralyzing gaze, it must attempt a save against the shemhazian's paralyzing gaze. If that creature is slowed, it must succeed at a DC 35 Fortitude save or be Paralyzed for 1 round.
A shemhazian can't use this ability against the same creature more than once per round.
