#### special abilities
### Dominate (Su)
Once per round as a free action on her turn, Malcanthet can attempt to dominate a creature that is under the effect of her Seductive Gaze. A targeted creature must succeed on a DC 37 Will save or be permanently dominated. Malcanthet can dominate only one creature at a time; if she selects a new target, the old target is immediately freed from this effect. The domination otherwise persists until it is removed by _break enchantment_, _limited wish_, _wish_, or similar magic. The save DC is Charisma-based.
### Poison (Su)
Sting—Injury; save Fort DC 34; frequency 1/round for 2 rounds; initial effect 3d6 Wisdom Damage; secondary effect domination for 1 week; cure 1 save. The save DC is Constitution-based.
### Profane Beauty (Su)
Malcanthet's otherworldly beauty grants her a deflection bonus equal to her Charisma bonus to her Armor Class as long as she doesn't wear armor. Good creatures must attempt a DC 37 Fortitude save each time they attempt to make a melee attack or otherwise touch Malcanthet. Failure indicates that they gain two negative levels as their souls are infused with her corruption. Malcanthet heals 10 hit points each time her profane beauty deals negative levels to a creature. The save DC is Charisma-based.
### Reflect Enchantment (Ex)
Whenever an enchantment spell that targets Malcanthet fails to penetrate her spell resistance, that spell is reflected back upon the caster as if Malcanthet had cast the spell herself (although it still uses the caster's ability score modifier to set the save DC).
### Seductive Gaze (Su)
30 feet, Will DC 37 negates. Those who meet Malcanthet's gaze and fail to resist are overwhelmed by her otherworldly beauty and take a –2 penalty on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, ability checks, and level checks for the remainder of the round.
### Whip Mastery (Ex)
Malcanthet is exceptionally skilled at fighting with a whip. She can make lethal attacks with a whip against any creature, regardless of its armor or natural armor, does not provoke an attack of opportunity when using a whip.
