  - name: "Commander's Aura"
    desc: " ([[aura]], [[divine]], [[enchantment]]);  100 feet. Commanded or allied evil creatures in the aura of lower level than the marilith gain a +1 circumstance bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, AC, saves, and skill checks.\n__Failure__ Vulnerability A marilith's pride feeds their strength, so the sting of failure wounds them. If the marilith uses a damaging spell or makes a [[Strike]] on their turn but doesn't deal any damage that turn, they take 1 (3d6+10) mental damage at the end of their turn and their commander's aura deactivates until the end of their next turn."
  - name: "Attack of Opportunity"
    desc: "⬲  A marilith gains 5 extra reactions per round that they can use only to make Attacks of Opportunity. The demon can't use more than one on the same triggering action, even if a creature leaves several squares in the marilith's reach, and the marilith must use a different weapon for each [[Attack of Opportunity]]."

  - name: "Bladestorm"
    desc: "⬺  The marilith makes up to six longsword [[Strike|Strikes]], each against a different target. These attacks count toward the marilith's multiple attack penalty, but the multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until after all the attacks."
  - name: "Defensive Assault"
    desc: "⬺  The marilith makes two [[Strike|Strikes]], each with a different weapon, and they use the remaining weapons for protection. The demon gains a circumstance bonus to AC for 1 round equal to the number of weapons not used for attacks. If the marilith later uses any of those weapons to attack (including for an [[Attack of Opportunity]]), the bonus to AC decreases by 1 for each weapon used."
  - name: "Focused Assault"
    desc: "⬺  The marilith attacks a single target with all the weapons they wield in their arms, overwhelming the target with multiple attacks and leaving almost nowhere to dodge. The demon makes a longsword [[Strike]]. On a successful attack, the marilith deals longsword damage to the target, plus an additional 1 (1d8) damage for every longsword they wield beyond the first (typically 1 (5d8) extra damage). Even on a failed attack, the marilith deals the damage from one longsword to the target, though they still miss completely on a critical failure. This counts toward the marilith's multiple attack penalty as a number of attacks equal to the number of longswords the pride demon wields."
