Fierce creatures from the realms of forlorn luster, vengeance and fury, the Asura are seen as vengeful gods by many. Their six arms wield six different weapons that angrily rend asunder misbegotten souls.'' Asura are heavily muscled and covered in a grotesquely stitched together set of banded mail. They stand up to 24 feet tall and weigh in at 20,000 pounds. === Combat === An asura is treated as a 29 [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] creature when targeted by HD-dependent effects, and its natural weapons as well as any weapon that it wields is treated as epic and [[SRD:Chaotic Subtype|Chaotic]] aligned for the purpose of penetrating [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]]. '''{{Anchor|Divine Aura}} ([[SRD:Supernatural Ability|Su]]):''' An asura's divine aura renders it immune to any [[SRD:Spell|spell]] or [[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|spell-like]] effect of 4th level or lower. '''{{Anchor|Divine Presence}} ([[SRD:Supernatural Ability|Su]]):''' An asura's divine presence extends out in a 50 feet emanation, and functions as an enhanced ''[[SRD:Magic Circle against Law|magic circle against law]]'', granting its benefits to any creature inside it, as well as protecting every [[SRD:Chaotic Neutral|chaotic]] creature within range with a ''[[SRD:Cloak of Chaos|cloak of chaos]]'' spell. '''{{Anchor|Eternal Vigilance}} ([[SRD:Extraordinary Ability|Ex]]):''' Thanks to an asura's three faces, it cannot be [[SRD:Flanking|flanked]] and receives a +8 insight bonus to [[SRD:Listen Skill|Listen]], [[SRD:Search Skill|Search]] and [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]] checks (already subsumed within the table). An asura may ''[[SRD:Detect Thoughts|detect thoughts]]'', as well as detect the alignments of nearby creatures (like a ''[[SRD:Detect Evil|detect evil]]'' spell and its counterparts) at will as a [[SRD:Free Action|free action]]. An asura can concentrate upon three distinct activities simultaneously. When an asura is injured during the casting of a [[SRD:Spell|spell]], it may roll three [[SRD:Concentration Skill|Concentration]] checks instead of one to determine whether or not the spell is lost. Only one success is needed to retain the spell. '''Regeneration ([[SRD:Extraordinary Ability|Ex]]):''' [[SRD:Lawful Subtype|Lawful]]-aligned weapons and spells with the [[SRD:Lawful Effect|law]] descriptor deal normal damage to an asura. If an asura loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 minutes. The creature can reattach the severed member instantly by holding it to the stump. '''{{Anchor|Smite}} ([[SRD:Supernatural Ability|Su]]):''' An asura's natural attack as well as attacks with any weapon it wields deal 2d8 added damage to any non-[[SRD:Chaotic Neutral|chaotic]] creature, or 5d6 added damage in case of a [[SRD:Lawful Neutral|lawful]]-aligned [[SRD:Outsider Type|outsider]]. '''{{Anchor|Spell-Like Abilities}}:''' At will—''[[SRD:Baleful Polymorph|baleful polymorph]]'' (DC 28), ''[[SRD:Bane|bane]]'', ''[[SRD:Call Lightning Storm|call lightning storm]]'', ''[[Dementia (3.5e Spell)|dementia]]'' (DC 30), ''[[SRD:Fear|fear]]'' (DC 27), ''[[SRD:Greater Invisibility|greater invisibility]]'', ''[[SRD:Lightning Bolt|lightning bolt]]'' (DC 26), ''[[SRD:Obscuring Mist|obscuring mist]]'', ''[[SRD:Ray of Exhaustion|ray of exhaustion]]'' (DC 26); 3/day—''[[SRD:Chain Lightning|chain lightning]]'' (DC 29), ''[[SRD:Earthquake|earthquake]]'' (DC 31), ''[[SRD:Power Word Blind|power word blind]]'', ''[[SRD:Whirlwind|whirlwind]]'', ''[[SRD:Word of Chaos|word of chaos]]''; 1/day—''[[SRD:Imprisonment|imprisonment]]'' (DC 32), ''[[SRD:Power Word Kill|power word kill]]''.

They can be dispelled, but the asura can reactivate them as a [[SRD:Free Action|free action]]. '''{{Anchor|Spells}}:''' Asura can cast divine spells as 25th-level [[SRD:Cleric|clerics]]. An asura has access to two of the following domains: [[SRD:Chaos Domain|Chaos]], [[SRD:Destruction Domain|Destruction]], [[SRD:Strength Domain|Strength]], [[SRD:War Domain|War]] and [[Wrath (3.5e Cleric Domain)|Wrath]] (plus any others from its deity). The save DCs are [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]]-based.
