You are drawn first to the being's fiery, piercing eyes, then to the long mane of coppery-red hair that crowns its pale head. Marble-white flesh covers the being's stately frame. Its legs end in birdlike talons with ruby-sharp claws, and wings of crackling flame spring from its narrow shoulders.

Combat

Asuras travel light and prefer the scimitar and bow. A typical asura will be encountered with the following equipment: +1 mithral breastplate, +1 buckler, +1 flaming scimitar, trumpet of doom (described in Chapter 6: Magic), masterwork composite longbow (+3 Str bonus), quiver of 20 normal arrows.

An asura's natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as having the chaotic and good alignments for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Burning Wind (Su): An asura can beat its wings as a standard action and generate a searing wave of heat that deals 2d6 points of damage to all creatures within a 15-foot radius.

Spell-Like Abilities: At will—detect good, detect evil, discern lies (DC 15), true seeing; 1/day—holy smite (DC 16), magic circle against evil (self only).

Change Shape (Su): An asura can assume the form of any Small or Medium humanoid.

Caster level 8th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.

Immunities: Asuras are immune to fire, petrification, charms, and compulsions.

Outsider Traits: An asura cannot be raised, reincarnated, or resurrected (though a limited wish, wish, miracle, or true resurrection spell can restore life). Darkvision 60 ft.
