Updated to Unchained rogue 6.
While perhaps not the sharpest knife in the drawer, Merisiel makes
up for this by carrying at least a dozen of them on her person at any
given time.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Sneak Attack If Merisiel can catch an opponent when he is
unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she
can strike a vital spot for extra damage. Her attack deals
3d6 extra damage anytime her target would be denied a
Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a
Dexterity bonus or not), or when Merisiel flanks her target.
Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target
is within 30 feet. This additional damage is precision damage
and is not multiplied on a critical hit.
With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (such as a
sap, unarmed strike, or whip), Merisiel can make a sneak
attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal
damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage
to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack—not even with
the usual –4 penalty.
Merisiel must be able to see the target well enough to
pick out a vital spot, and she must be able to reach such a
spot. She cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with
total concealment.
Danger Sense Merisiel gains a +1 bonus on Reflex saves to
avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks by
traps. In addition, she gains a +1 bonus on Perception checks
to avoid being surprised by a foe.
Debilitating Injury Whenever Merisiel deals sneak attack
damage to a foe, she can also debilitate the target of her
attack, causing it to take a penalty for 1 round (this is in
addition to any penalty caused by a rogue talent or other
special ability). She can choose to apply any one of the
following penalties when the damage is dealt.
Bewildered: The target becomes bewildered, taking a –2
penalty to AC. The target takes an additional –2 penalty to AC
against all attacks made by Merisiel.
Disoriented: The target takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls.
In addition, the target takes an additional –2 penalty on all
attack rolls it makes against Merisiel.
Hampered: All of the target’s speeds are reduced by half
(to a minimum of 5 feet). In addition, the target cannot take
a 5-foot step.
These penalties do not stack with themselves, but
additional attacks that deal sneak attack damage extend
the duration by 1 round. A creature cannot suffer from more
than one penalty from this ability at a time. If a new penalty
is applied, the old penalty immediately ends. Any form
of healing applied to a target suffering from one of these
penalties also removes the penalty.
Evasion Merisiel[/ ] can avoid even magical and unusual attacks
with great agility. If she succeeds at a Reflex saving throw
against an attack that normally deals half damage on a
successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can
be used only if Merisiel is wearing light armor or no armor,
and she does not gain the benefit of evasion if helpless.
[b]Finesse Training Merisiel gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus
feat. In addition, she can add her Dexterity modifier instead
of her Strength modifier to her damage rolls when using
rapiers. If any effect would prevent her from adding her
Strength modifier to the damage roll, she does not add her
Dexterity modifier.
Potion of Blur Merisiel has a potion that grants her
concealment and makes her harder to hit. For 3 minutes
after drinking it, all attacks attempted against her have a
20% chance to miss.
Potions of Cure Wounds Merisiel has two potions that recover
hit points she has lost. Her potion of cure moderate wounds
cures 2d8+3 points of damage. Her potion of cure serious
wounds cures 3d8+5 points of damage.
Rogue’s Edge Merisiel has mastered a skill beyond its normal
boundaries, gaining results that others can only dream
about. She has focused her training on Acrobatics, allowing
her to move at her normal speed through a threatened
square without provoking an attack of opportunity by
increasing the DC of the check by only 5 (instead of by 10).
She is not denied her Dexterity bonus when attempting
Acrobatics checks with DCs of 20 or lower.
Rogue Talents Merisiel has learned a number of talents that
aid her and confound her foes.
Slow Reactions: Opponents damaged by Merisiel’s sneak
attack can’t make attacks of opportunity for 1 round.
Weapon Training: Merisiel gains Weapon Focus as a
bonus feat.
Trapfinding Merisiel gains a +2 bonus on Perception checks
to locate traps and on Disable Device checks. She can use
Disable Device to disarm magic traps.
Uncanny Dodge Merisiel can react to danger before her senses
would normally allow her to do so. She cannot be caught
flat-footed, nor does she lose her Dexterity bonus to AC if
the attacker is invisible. She still loses her Dexterity bonus
to AC if immobilized, or Merisiel can still lose her Dexterity
bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action
against her.
