Zuhras, the genies of the elemental Plane of Metal, are bold and imposing, fond of being the center of attention and drawing a crowd with flashy performances, displays of skill, and tales of their personal victories. Despite their large personalities, their long-term relationships tend to be cool and somewhat distant; zuhras often make alliances but rarely form friendships, and the trust required for deeper relationships is rarer still. The few mortals who've gotten to know a zuhra often describ

Abilities

Constant Spells — A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.
Conductive Redirection (arcane, concentrate, electricity) —
Blinding Reflection (arcane, light) — Frequency once per round

Requirements The zuhra is in dim or bright light

Effect The zuhra briefly reshapes part of their metallic body into a concave surface to reflect the surrounding light into the eyes of a creature within 30 feet. The target must attempt a DC 26 Reflex save. It's then temporarily immune for 1 hour.

Critical Success The target is unaffected.

Success The target is Dazzled until the start of the zuhra's next turn.

Failure The target is Blinded until the start of the zuhra's next turn.
Change Shape (arcane, concentrate, polymorph) — The zuhra transforms into a Small or Medium metal elemental or animal. This doesn't affect the zuhra's statistics, but it could change the damage type of their Strikes.

The monster changes its shape indefinitely. It can use this action again to return to its natural shape or adopt a new shape. Unless otherwise noted, a monster cannot use Change Shape to appear as a specific individual. Using Change Shape counts as creating a disguise for the Impersonate use of Deception. The monster's transformation automatically defeats Perception DCs to determine whether the creature is a member of the ancestry or creature type into which it transformed, and it gains a +4 status bonus to its Deception DC to prevent others from seeing through its disguise. Change Shape abilities specify what shapes the monster can adopt. The monster doesn't gain any special abilities of the new shape, only its physical form. For example, in each shape, it replaces its normal Speeds and Strikes, and might potentially change its senses or size. Any changes are listed in its stat block.

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLAND / AERIALAnvil holds ground-bound enemies while the Weaver uses fly speed and reach to trip and disarm from safe vertical angles.
CrasherLAND / AERIALWeaver trips and disarms to force action taxes, giving the Crasher uncontested flat-footed Strikes without reprisal.
SniperLAND / AERIALWeaver's Blinding Reflection and arcane control peel away reactions and concealment, letting the Sniper fire unimpeded from distance.
