<!--  COMBAT TACTICS  -->
 
| CombatTactics = Fire elementals are the deadly berserkers of elementals.  They will close in with half moves, 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 their ten feet of reach. They will use five foot steps to open the range on melee opponents, preferring a chance to make an opportunity attack to basting things in their Blazing Heat aura. 
 
They are well aware of their Guttering Flame ability, and will work to set and keep as many foes ablaze, especially ranged attackers, as they can, even forgoing attacks against close melee foes to keep distant enemies on fire.
 
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  -->
 
| OutOfCombat = 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 the lifetime of a volcano, or the existence of any blood relative, 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 a few substances which can be satisfyingly consumed in flame.
 
Fire elementals are often summoned to serve while bound into objects 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 elementals bound to public baths, forges, foundries, bloomeries, furnaces, and numerous other places.  It is not rare to see fire elementals in ruins that have broken free of centuries of bondage that are spoiling for a fight.
 
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.

| Description=This monster frequently has the Killer role, but may be set to other roles if desired.

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…

| Ability-1-Name = Guttering Flame

| Ability-1-Type = Su

| Ability-1-Action-Required = Automatic on Bloodied and Death

| Ability-1-Concentration =

| Ability-1-Description = When a Fire Elemental is first reduced below its Bloodied value of Hit Points (16 hitpoints), and again when its hit points are reduced to zero or below, its Guttering Flame power is activated as a automatic free action. Note that if a Fire Elmental is subjected to enough damage that it is driven past Bloodied and then killed in the same round, this ability may activate twice that round.

When Guttering Flame activates, a Fire Elemental seems to flicker down, then flash back a few times, then it explodes in a massive blast, dealing 1d4 of darkfire (energy, rare) damage to all creatures in the current combat who currently have the Singed, Burned, or Immolated condition caused by any Fire Elemental, regardless of range or line of sight. Affected creatures are allowed a Will save against a DC of 14 to reduce this damage by half.


| Ability-2-Name = Scorching Flesh

| Ability-2-Type = Su

| Ability-2-Action-Required = Automatic when struck

| Ability-2-Concentration =

| Ability-2-Description = Any creature which attacks the fire elemental with a melee attack takes 2 points of fire (energy, common) damage. This may only happen once per foe per round, not on each attack.


| Ability-3-Name = Burn

| Ability-3-Type = Su

| Ability-3-Action-Required = Automatic on successful attack

| Ability-3-Concentration =

| Ability-3-Description = Up to once per round, per foe, when struck by the fire elemental or when effected by the Blazing Heat aura, opponents must make a Reflex save, DC 14. If they make this save, they gain the Singed condition, inflicting fire (energy, common) damage. If they fail this save, they gain the Burned condition.

Any creature which already has the Singed or Burned condition inflicted by any Fire Elemental that is affected again by Burn (save or not), has that condition upgraded to the Immolated condition. Creatures affected by Immolated cannot be further affected by this ability.


| Ability-4-Name = Backdraft

| Ability-4-Type = Su

| Ability-4-Action-Required = Automatic 1/Rnd/attacker

| Ability-4-Concentration =

| Ability-4-Description = Once per round for each attacker, if the Fire elemental is damaged by a ranged attack, spell, or any other ability used by a foe outside its melee reach (such as a reach weapon, class ability, spell-like ability, etc), it may immediately use its Fireblast ranged attack to attack that attacker as a free action. The attacking creature must be within 300 feet, and the fire elemental must have line of sight and line of effect to the creature.

Note that this may caused Burned to that ranged attacker, which is then susceptible to the Guttering Flame ability.


| Ability-5-Name = Firelight

| Ability-5-Type = Su

| Ability-5-Action-Required = Automatic

| Ability-5-Concentration =

| Ability-5-Description = Fire Elementals generate bright light in a 100 foot radius around them for as long as they exist.


| Ability-6-Name =

| Ability-6-Type =

| Ability-6-Action-Required =

| Ability-6-Concentration =

| Ability-6-Description =

| Ability-9-Concentration =

| Ability-9-Description =


| Role-Only--Replace-Rez-Power--Name =

| Role-Only--Replace-Rez-Power--Type =

| Role-Only--Replace-Rez-Power--Action-Required =

| Role-Only--Replace-Rez-Power--Concentration =

| Role-Only--Replace-Rez-Power--Description =


| Role-Only--Add-Killer-Power--Name = Blazing Heat

| Role-Only--Add-Killer-Power--Type = Ex, Aura

| Role-Only--Add-Killer-Power--Action-Required = Automatic

| Role-Only--Add-Killer-Power--Concentration =

| Role-Only--Add-Killer-Power--Description = 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 within 20 feet of its space take 1d4 points of fire (energy, common) damage and must make a reflex save versus a DC of 14 or receive the Burned condition. 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 Burned condition.

Any creature which already has the Singed or Burned condition inflicted by any Fire Elemental that is affected again by Blazing Heat (save or not), has that condition upgraded to the Immolated condition, only now it inflicts darkfire (energy, rare) damage. This removes, for the time being, the old condition inflicting fire damage.

Note that it is entirely possible for a player character to have TWO conditions from a Puissant Fire Elemental, a Singed, Burned, or Immolated condition inflicting fire damage, and an Immolated condition from Blazing Heat inflicting darkfire damage.

Creatures affected by the Blazing Heat Immolated condition cannot be further affected by this ability.
