Speed: 60 ft. (12 squares), fly 60 ft. (perfect)
Change Size (Sp): X/times per day, a pasha can magically change a creature’s size. This works just like a enlarge person or reduce person spell (the pasha chooses when using the ability), except that the ability can work on the pasha and other efreeti. A DC X Fortitude save negates the effect. The save DC is Charisma-based. This is the equivalent of a 2nd-level spell.
Heat (Ex): A pasha’s red-hot body deals 1d6 (more?) points of extra fire damage whenever it hits in melee, or in each round it maintains a hold when grappling.
Spell-Like Abilities: At will—detect magic, fireball (DC X), flame strike (DC X), gaseous form, invisibility, permanent image (DC X), polymorph (self only) produce flame, pyrotechnics (DC X), scorching ray (X rays), wall of fire (DC X); 1/day(?)—grant up to three wishes (to nongenies only). Caster level 15th(?). The save DCs are Charisma-based.
Plane Shift (Sp): A genie can enter any of the elemental planes, the Astral Plane, or the Material Plane. This ability transports the genie and up to eight other creatures, provided they all link hands with the genie. It is otherwise similar to the spell of the same name (caster level 13th).

i had basically the same thing here. 
i fixed some things you had right that i had wrong though.
AC should be at least 24 now - higher if we increase the natural armor.
not sure that we should need to change the base damage for a slam - if we did, this would be one of those rare instances where i would advocate using Improved Natural Attack to do so.
the pashas' original stats allowed for 40% magic resistance. also, these pashas were neutral for some reason instead of lawful evil like most efreet.

Looking at the other CR 21-22 uniques, it needs to be in the 40-42 range. That would call for +24 natural armor, which is a bit high compared to its "peers", who all benefit from an insight bonus. (Which would make sense here, since they are advisors, IMHO).

I was basing this off its 2-20 vs. the current 1d8. Kharash the Stalker, CR 22, only deals 1d6 base with his claws, so 1d8 isn't a problem.

I'd give 'em spell resistance equal to 9 + CR, then. And I think they should be lawful evil like other efreet. If it said "usually" rather than "always", I might think differently.

your call.
what say you?Shade said:
1d8+13 would be 14-21 damage per hit.

they were probably neutral because they were advisors. i'm neutral towards their alignment.

+7 insight, +17 natural. Final answer.

Perfecto!

I'm hateful and organized towards their alignment.
