 '''Gate.'''  When faced with dire circumstances in [[Combat|combat]], the marilith possesses the power to summon reinforcements through a mystical gate.  If they desire, they have a 100% chance of gating in 2–7 [[Manes|manes]].  If they prefer more powerful allies, they have an 85% chance of success at summoning (roll d20) a [[Vrock|vrock]] (1-8), a [[Hezrou|hezrou]] (9-15), a [[Glabrezu|glabrezu]] (16-19) or a [[Nalfeshnee|nalfeshnee]] (20).  They may gate in manes every round if they so desire, but they can succeed at gating in a more powerful creature only once.
-'''Demonic Possession.'''  Like all demons, marilith are able to take over a host's body dictates its actions until the demon either leaves voluntarily or is evicted by spells such as "[[Exorcise (spell)|exorcise]]" or "[[Abjure (spell)|abjure]]."  The potential victim is entitled to a [[Saving Throws|saving throw vs. paralysis]].

 '''Magic.''' These creatures can invoke a range of effects resembling various spells, without the need for traditional [[Spellcasting|spellcasting]].  These effects include [[Avatar (spell)|avatar]], [[Charm Person (spell)|charm person]], [[Darkness, 15 ft. radius (spell)|darkness]], [[Detect Invisibility|detect invisibility]], [[Levitation (spell)|levitate]] and [[Pyrotechnics (spell)|pyrotechnics]], and the detailed abilities below.
-: '''[[Darkness, 15 ft. radius (spell)|Darkness]].'''  Marilith can generate an encompassing darkness, which they like to create to conceal their position from round to round.  Their exceptional ability to see perfectly in such darkness is granted by a continuous [[Ultravision (spell)|ultravision]].  This darkness is so powerful that it cannot be dispelled with [[Light (spell)|light]] or [[Continual Light (spell)|continual light]]; rather, [[Dispel Magic (spell)|dispel magic]] is necessary.

+'''Natural Immunities.'''  Marilith possess an immunity to [[Cold-based Attacks|cold-based]], [[Gas-based Attacks|gas-based]], [[Electricity-based Attacks|electricity-based]] and [[Fire-based Attacks|fire-based]] attacks, including both [[Normal Fire|normal]] and [[Magical Fire|magical]].  They are impervious to [[Charm|charmed]] and [[Sleep (spell)|sleep]]
-Marilith are also able to [[Charm person (spell)|charm person]], detect invisibility, [[Levitation (spell)|levitate]] and [[Pyrotechnics (spell)|pyrotechnics]]. They are able to create an [[Avatar (spell)|avatar]].  All these abilities can be performed at will, requiring only 1 [[Action Points|action point]] to perform. However, no more than one such power may be performed per [[Combat Round|combat round]]. Most may be performed from round to round, but a given power can’t be put into place if already present.
