Detect Thoughts (Su): A tiger oni can detect thoughts as per the  spell of the same name (CL 18th). It can suppress or resume this ability  as a free action. When a tiger oni uses this ability, it always  functions as if it had spent three rounds concentrating and thus gains  the maximum amount of information possible. A creature can resist this  effect with a DC 18 Will save. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Spells: A tiger oni casts as a 7th level sorcerer.

Tiger Oni are often mistaken for Rakshasa. The two are very similar in  both form and abilities. Tiger Oni however do not have the reversed  hands that are indicative of a Rakshasa. Tiger Oni are the ruling Oni  class, holding nearly all of the key political and military positions.  They are master tacticians and skillful arcanists. They seem to be able  to coordinate the otherwise rivalrous Oni classes for singular purposes.  Tiger Oni gender is relatively apparent to any who have any familiarity  with large cats.
