Bestiary 3 | Monsters | Asura | Asurendra | Special Abilities | Spirit Blades
As a swift action, an asurendra can call forth up to six
longsword-shaped force effects that float near the asurendra until directed. The asurendra can use a standard action to direct one blade to attack a target up to a distance of 50 feet away, or use a full-attack action to cause all six
blades to attack up to six different targets up to a distance of 50 feet away, each to a different location if desired. Once an asurendra directs a
spirit blade to attack a foe, the blade continues to make a single attack against that foe each round on the asurendra's turn until directed otherwise by the asurendra and as long as the foe remains within 50 feet of the asurendra. As a move action, the asurendra can direct all currently attacking
blades to switch targets to new foes within 50 feet. These weapons attack using the asurendra's base attack bonus modified by its Wisdom modifier (+29 for most asurendras), and deal 3d6 points of damage plus an amount of force damage equal to the asurendra's Wisdom modifier (3d6+7 for most asurendras). Physical attacks do no affect these
blades, but
disintegrate, a
sphere of annihilation, or a rod of cancellation (touch AC 25) causes them to
vanish. If a
spirit blade's target dies or moves beyond a 50-foot range and the asurendra does not retarget that blade by the end of its turn, the blade vanishes. Likewise, any
blades that are not within 50 feet of the asurendra at the end of its turn also
vanish.
