➶ Hex Portal (minor; sustain minor, at-will) ✦ Conjuration
Ranged 5; the sharn creates a hexagonal window of light that it can attack through as if it were in that portal's space. As a minor action, it can move one portal 4 squares. Portals don't block line of sight, line of effect, or enemy movement. A sharn can maintain up to three such portals at a time with a single minor action; it can close as many as it wishes with a free action.
Independent Action (standard; at-will)
The sharn makes two melee basic attacks. If a phaseblade and a bite hit the same target, that target is also dazed (save ends).
Phase Distortion (standard; at-will) ✦ Teleportation
The sharn Phaseblade teleports 10 squares and gains insubstantial and phasing until the start of its next turn. Additionally, on its next turn the sharn Phaseblade gains a +3 bonus to attack rolls.
Double Actions
A sharn rolls initiative twice, gets two turns during a round, and has a full set of actions (standard, move, minor) on each turn. Each set of actions corresponds to a different consciousness. The sharn's ability to take immediate actions refreshes on each of its turns.
Independent Consciousness
A sharn automatically saves against the dazed and stunned conditions, and against charm effects that a save can end.
