SPECIAL ABILITIES
Gaze (Ex)
Turn to stone permanently (as flesh to stone), range 30 feet, Fortitude DC 25 negates. A creature petrified in this matter that is then coated (not just splashed) with fresh basilisk blood (taken from a basilisk no more than 1 hour dead) is instantly restored to flesh. A single basilisk contains enough blood to coat 1d3 Medium creatures in this manner. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Smite Good (Su)
Once per day, as a swift action, the half-fiend can smite good as the smite evil ability of a paladin of the same level as the half-fiend’s Hit Dice, except affecting a good target. The smite persists until target is dead or the half-fiend rests.
This lizardfolk priestess has the head of a hooded cobra and the lower torso of a snake. She wields a cobra-headed morningstar and steel shield with a cobra motif.

A creature hit by the venom must make a Fortitude save to resist the poison as if bitten (see above), and must also succeed a DC 18 Reflex save or be blinded. The save DC for this ability is Constitution-based.
