This gaunt, sexless humanoid is so thin that it's pale grey body appears almost like a humanoid skeleton. It has large bat-like wings that are mostly bones with a thin membrane stretched across them. The air around it seems to ripple following the weaving motion of it's glimmering longsword.

True Seeing (Su): A deskayv is under a constant true seeing effect.
Force Aura (Su): The deskayv is surrounded by a wavering, slightly-visible (Spot DC 20) aura of force that gives it a constant +8 deflection bonus to AC (bonus = 1/2 HD) and automatically counters any force-effect spells targeting the deskayv.
Regeneration (Ex): A deskayv takes normal damage from holy and good aligned attacks.
Bladestorm (Su): At will a deskayv can create a whirlwind of force blades around itself that continues until dismissed. Bladestorm automatically deals 4d6 points of damage against any creature within 10 ft. of the deskayv. These blades are considered a magical force effect so damage reduction does not protect against them and they also affect ethereal creatures. A Reflex save (DC 26) reduces the damage by half. The save DC is dexterity based.
Conjure Force blade (Su): The deskayv can summon a dancing blade of force to attack any creature within 100 ft. The blade lasts for 10 rounds making a single attack each round not even stopping if the foe is slain. (#List of things to destroy blade)The blade is a magical force effect so damage reduction does not protect against it and it can attack invisible and etheral foes without penalty. The blade attacks at +22 and inflicts 4d6 points of damage.
Animate Blades (Sp): A deskayv can cause all blades in a 30 ft. radius to animate and attack it's wielder. Unattended blades will spring to life but just dance about, only attacking any creature that passes through it's . A creature in possession of a blade can attempt a Will save (DC 21) to maintain control of the blade, otherwise it continues to make a single attack against it's owner each round for four rounds, then falls to the ground. For purposes of this spell, a blade counts as any melee weapon that deals slashing damage. The save DC is charisma based.
Paralyzing Gaze (Su): Range 30 ft. Fortitude save (DC 21) or paralyzed as if by a hold person spell. No duration, the paralysis persists until the target makes a successful save. The save DC is charisma based.
