Special Abilities

Blazing Heat (Aura) (Ex)

Blazing Heat is an aura which is triggered at the end of the fire elemental's movement. When the fire elemental ends its move (or, if it doesn't move, just prior to taking its first attack) all creatures adjacent to its space take points of fire damage and must make a reflex save versus a DC of or receive the Burn condition (see below). In all cases, the Blazing Heat aura may only cause damage to an opponent once each turn and force only one saving throw to receive the Burn condition.

Scorching Flesh (Ex)

Any creature which attacks the fire elemental with a melee attack takes points of fire damage.

Burn (Su)

When struck by the fire elemental, or when effected by the Blazing Heat aura, opponents may gain the Burn condition unless they succeed on a Reflex save, DC . The Burn condition never stacks, you can only be affected by Burn once. While they have the Burn condition, creatures take points of fire damage at the beginning of each of their rounds. Burn persists until the end of the encounter, the burning creature dies, the fire elemental which caused the Burn dies, or the creatures uses a full attack action to extinguish the flames.

Light (Ex)

Fire Elementals have no special senses, but they rarely feel the lack because they generate bright light in a 20 foot radius around them for as long as they live.

Elemental, Small Fire (Summoned)

Whether a patch of odd crystals in a ruined corridor, a pool of oddly turbulent water in a forest grove, a roaring breeze even indoors, or a cozy campfire with malevolent eyes, elementals can be found almost anywhere. Many elementals are spontaneous manifestations, creatures of elemental nature that have arisen from either natural or unnatural circumstance. Other elementals are deliberately made things, summoned or created by those with malevolent purpose, set as immortal guardians or stalkers of the world.

Elementals may be fairly common or quite rare, depending upon the setting. In all cases, elementals provide plenty of challenges and fun for those heroic enough to face them.

Fire is the first tool of civilization, that thing which defeats the night.

That makes fire even more terrible when it is given deadly intent and self will. Fire elementals are terrifying masses of undying flame, needing no fuel to burn, although water is their bane. Like all fire, fire elementals cast off bright light and searing heat all around them, and on top of that, they seek to kill you in a very effective manner.

Nothing will wake you up like having a pitched battle with your campfire....

Combat Tactics

Fire elementals are the deadly berserkers of elementals. They will close in with five foot steps, using fire blast against creatures who attack at range. Once in melee, they will position themselves so that their Blazing heat aura will damage as many opponents as possible and try to set up Cleave opportunities with full attacks of Lick of Flame. If possible they will attack less heavily armored foes first and try to then cleave into more durable enemies. They will use every attack they can and will fight to the death without hesitation.

Out of Combat

Small Fire Elementals are rarely on the Prime Material plane unless summoned. In those cases, they are bound to the service of their summoner for some period of time (often until sunset or dawn of the same day, though sometimes as long as a year and a day, in the case of powerful bindings). Those who gain access to the Prime Material plane by themselves, or escape a binding rarely survive for more than a few weeks, as this plane is cold and offers only few substances which can be satisfyingly consumed in flame.

Fire elementals are often summoned to serve while bound into odjects and buildings. A permanent source of heat is hugely useful to almost anyone with aspirations to industry, and it is very common to find fire elelemtals bound to public baths, forges, foundries, bloomeries, furnaces, and numerous other places. It is not rare to see fire elelentals in ruins that have broken free of centuries of bondage that are spoiling for a fight, to put it mildly.

In many cases, these unbound elementals achieve a kind of insanity before fading out, usually in their last few days before dying in this very inhospitable environment so far from their home.
