[[Summary::A closer look at a rakshasa reveals that the palms of its hands are where the backs of the hands would be on a [[SRD:Humans (Race)|human]].]]

* ''{{Property Link|Type|SRD:Outsider Type|Outsider}} ({{Property Link|Subtype|SRD:Native Subtype|Native}})''

* ''Racial [[SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Dice]]:'' A rakshasa begins with seven levels of [[SRD:Outsider Type|outsider]], which provide 7d8 [[SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Dice]], a [[SRD:Base Attack Bonus|base attack bonus]] of +7, and base [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] bonuses of [[SRD:Fortitude Save|Fort]] +5, [[SRD:Reflex Save|Ref]] +5, and [[SRD:Will Save|Will]] +5.* ''Racial Skills:'' A rakshasa’s [[SRD:Outsider Type|outsider]] levels give it [[SRD:Skill Points|skill points]] equal to 10 × (8 + [[SRD:Intelligence|Int]] modifier). Its [[SRD:Class|class]] skills are [[SRD:Bluff Skill|Bluff]], [[SRD:Disguise Skill|Disguise]], [[SRD:Listen Skill|Listen]], [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]], [[SRD:Perform Skill|Perform]], [[SRD:Sense Motive Skill|Sense Motive]], and [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]]. A rakshasa has a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Bluff Skill|Bluff]] and [[SRD:Disguise Skill|Disguise]] checks, and it can gain further bonuses by using change shape (+10 on [[SRD:Disguise Skill|Disguise]] checks) and ''[[SRD:Detect Thoughts|detect thoughts]]'' (+4 on [[SRD:Bluff Skill|Bluff]] and [[SRD:Disguise Skill|Disguise]] checks).* ''Racial [[SRD:Feats|Feats]]:'' A rakshasa’s [[SRD:Outsider Type|outsider]] levels give it three [[SRD:Feats|feats]].

* ''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:'' A rakshasa is automatically proficient with all [[SRD:Simple Weapon|simple]] and [[SRD:Martial Weapon|martial weapons]].* ''[[SRD:Natural Weapon|Natural Weapons]]:'' [[SRD:Bite|Bite]] (1d6) and 2 [[SRD:Claw|claw]]s (1d4).* ''[[SRD:Change Shape|Change Shape]] {{Su}}:'' A rakshasa can assume any [[SRD:Humanoid Type|humanoid]] form, or revert to its own form, as a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]]. In [[SRD:Humanoid Type|humanoid]] form, a rakshasa loses its [[SRD:Claw|claw]] and [[SRD:Bite|bite]] attacks (although it often equips itself with weapons and armor instead). A rakshasa remains in one form until it chooses to assume a new one. A change in form cannot be dispelled, but the rakshasa reverts to its natural form when killed. A ''[[SRD:True Seeing|true seeing]]'' spell reveals its natural form.* ''[[SRD:Damage Reduction|Damage Reduction]] {{Ex}}:'' 15/piercing.* ''[[SRD:Damage Reduction|Damage Reduction]] {{Su}}:'' 15/good.* ''Detect Thoughts {{Su}}:'' A rakshasa can continuously use [[SRD:Detect Thoughts|detect thoughts]] as the spell ([[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] 18th; [[SRD:Will Save|Will]] negates). It can suppress or resume this ability as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]]. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is 13 + the character’s [[SRD:Charisma|Cha]] modifier.

* ''Spells:'' A rakshasa character casts spells as a 7th-level [[SRD:Sorcerer|sorcerer]]. If the character takes additional levels of [[SRD:Sorcerer|sorcerer]], these levels stack with the rakshasa’s base spellcasting ability for spells known, spells per day, and other effects dependent on [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]]. A rakshasa character likewise uses the sum of its racial spellcasting levels and [[SRD:Classes|class levels]] to determine the abilities of its [[SRD:Familiars|familiar]].* ''[[SRD:Automatic Language|Automatic Languages]]:'' Common, Infernal. ''* [[SRD:Bonus Language|Bonus Languages]]:'' Sylvan, Undercommon.* ''[[SRD:Favored Class|Favored Class]]:'' {{Property Link|Favored Class|SRD:Sorcerer|Sorcerer}}.* ''[[SRD:Level Adjustment|Level Adjustment]]:'' +[[Level Adjustment::7]]* [[SRD:Effective Character Level|Effective Character Level]]: [[Effective Character Level::14| ]]</onlyinclude>
