[B]Mirror Taboo (Su)[/B] A legendary tengu may not look at themselves in any man-made mirror (Reflex DC 20 avoids), or it become staggered for 1d4 rounds. [B]Monk Training (Ex)[/B] A legendary tengu gains the AC Bonus, Flurry of Blows, Quivering Palm, Stunning Fist, and Unarmed Strike abilities as a monk of a level equal to its racial HD but for the AC Bonus, Quivering Palm, and Stunning Fist it use its Charisma instead of Wisdom. [B]Parry (Ex)[/B] When a melee, ranged, or ray attack is made against the legendary tengu or a target adjacent to it, the legendary tengu can parry the attack (or ammunition), deflecting the attack so the target takes no damage. As an attack of opportunity, the legendary tengu make a melee attack roll at its highest bonus. If the result is greater than the attack roll total of the attack, the attack is deflected. The legendary tengu must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed. [B]Steal Voice (Su)[/B] A legendary tengu can attempt to steal a victim’s voice as part of its bite attack. When it does so, the creature bitten must make a DC 36 Will save or lose the ability to speak aloud. This prevents the use of any spell with verbal components and the use of commandword-activated magic items, among other difficulties. The legendary tengu’s voice changes to match the one stolen. The victim’s voice remains stolen until the legendary tengu steals another voice, until the tengu chose to give the stolen voice back (a free action), or until the next sunrise. Any effect that removes curses (such as remove curse or break enchantment) can restore a stolen voice (DC for success equals the save DC of the steal voice ability—DC 36 for most legendary tengu), as does the death of the legendary tengu who stole the voice in the first place. The save DC is Charisma-based. [B]Swordtrained (Ex)[/B] Legendary tengus are trained from birth in swordplay, and as a result are automatically proficient with sword-like weapons (including bastard swords, daggers, elven curve blades, falchions, greatswords, katana, kukris, longswords, punching daggers, rapiers, scimitars, short swords, two-bladed swords, and wakizashi). Also, the katana count as a monk weapon for the legendary tengu. [B]Tengu’s Blessing (Su)[/B] Once per week as a standard action, a legendary tengu can bestow its mastery of greater fighting arts upon a creature it touches. The legendary tengu selects up to 3 combat feats that it knows and that its target meets the prerequisites for. Upon being touched, the target gains that feats as a bonus feats for a number of days equal to the legendary tengu’s racial Hit Dice. [B]Unarmed Strike (Ex)[/B] A legendary tengu unarmed strikes are treated as adamantine, chaotic, cold iron, ghost touch, epic, magic, and silver weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction and interact with incorporeal creatures. [B]Wing Baffle (Ex)[/B] A legendary tengu uses its wings even in combat although not to make slam attacks; it supplements its melee combat with the slaps and whips of its wings to buffet and disorient its opponents. Once per round, a legendary tengu may make a Feint check against an opponent as a free action. [/QUOTE]
