'Searing Skeleton' is a pattern that can be added to any Skeleton, hereafter referred to as the base creature.
| CR-Adj=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|CR-Adj}}}
| CR-Adj| 1
}}</onlyinclude>


A Searing Skeleton uses all of the base creature's statistics and abilities except as noted below.
| Picture =
| Picture-Text =


== CR ==
| Description=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Description}}}
Same as base creature +1.
| Description| '''''Searing Creature''''' is a pattern that adds a blazing heat aura to a creature. Whether they are made of burning embers, or have their blood replaced with lava, exhale gouts of flame, or have burning brands for bones, fighting a Searing Creature is unpleasant!


== Size and Type ==
Searing Creatures may be natives of volcanic calderas, or dwellers in supernatural deserts. Searing creatures may hail from the Plane of Fire, or some higher, more energetic Plane such as the nigh-mythical Apocolyptica, or maybe they have evolved their heated nature in response to an Ice Age. Searing may be gifted by some Mage, or represent an alchemical potion they've poured over their heads and lit up before a battle. Maybe they are the minions of the mighty and terrible Heat Miser, and are working to blight the world by stealing all warmth, everywhere. The possibilities are nearly endless!
The creature's Size and Type do not change.


== Initiative Modifier ==
Regardless of their origin or mechanics, Searing Creatures are tough to battle from up close, and can give your melee players plenty of challenges to deal with!
The creature's initiative modifier increases by half the amount that its CR increases, round up.

== Senses ==
| Short-Desc=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Short-Desc}}}
No changes.
| Short-Desc| This creature seems to be surrounded by blazing heat, and that's likely painful to get too close to.
}}</onlyinclude>


== Armor Class ==
| Change-Type=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Change-Type}}}
Searing Skeletons gain +1 AC.  This is granted by adding to the base creatures natural armor bonus.
| Change-Type|
}}</onlyinclude>


== Hit Dice ==
| Add-Subtype=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Add-Subtype}}}
No changes.
| Add-Subtype| Searing
}}</onlyinclude>


== Defensive Ability ==
| Change-Alignment=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Change-Alignment}}}
A Searing Skeleton gains the following abilities, which may be added to their Bestiary entry:
| Change-Alignment|
  <!-- Values: Lawful Good, True Lawful, Lawful Evil, Pure Good, Neutral, Pure Evil, Chaotic Good, True Chaotic, Chaotic Evil -->
}}</onlyinclude>


'''Aura:''' Once per round, when it makes any attack action, a Searing Skeleton emits a blast of flames from its blazing-hot bones.  This is a fire damage aura that effects all enemy creatures within CR/10 (round up) of the Searing Skeleton's space. This damage aura inflicts 2d6+CR of fire damage.  Affected characters may make a Fort save against a CR appropriate DC for half damage.
  <!-- ABILITY SCORES -->
  <!-- Except for INT, these stat changes are cosmetic and do not affect other numbers
      Just put in the number you want to ADD to the existing monster's stats          -->


'''SR:''' - Same as Base Creature
| STR-Adj=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|STR-Adj}}}
| STR-Adj|
}}</onlyinclude>


'''Special Defenses:''' The Searing Skeleton gains ER/fire equal to CR+12.  If it already had ER/fire from another source, they do not stack, only the larger amount of ER applies.
| DEX-Adj=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|DEX-Adj}}}
| DEX-Adj|
}}</onlyinclude>


== Speed ==
| CON-Adj=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|CON-Adj}}}
A Searing Skeleton's base speed improves by ten feet in all movement categories it has.
| CON-Adj|
}}</onlyinclude>


== Melee Attacks ==
| INT-Adj=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|INT-Adj}}}
A Searing Skeleton retains all the base creature's attacks, and its weapon and armor proficiencies. These attacks retain the same primary or secondary status they had for the base creature.  The Searing Skeleton adds 1d6 of fire damage to all its melee attacks.
| INT-Adj|
}}</onlyinclude>

Not just anybody can do this, you know. Well, okay, they can if they have this pattern. But otherwise...

Searing Creature Pattern (+1 CR)

Subtype: add Searing to subtypes


Searing Creature is a pattern that adds a blazing heat aura to a creature. Whether they are made of burning embers, or have their blood replaced with lava, exhale gouts of flame, or have burning brands for bones, fighting a Searing Creature is unpleasant!

Searing Creatures may be natives of volcanic calderas, or dwellers in supernatural deserts. Searing creatures may hail from the Plane of Fire, or some higher, more energetic Plane such as the nigh-mythical Apocolyptica, or maybe they have evolved their heated nature in response to an Ice Age. Searing may be gifted by some Mage, or represent an alchemical potion they've poured over their heads and lit up before a battle. Maybe they are the minions of the mighty and terrible Heat Miser, and are working to blight the world by stealing all warmth, everywhere. The possibilities are nearly endless!

Regardless of their origin or mechanics, Searing Creatures are tough to battle from up close, and can give your melee players plenty of challenges to deal with!

This creature seems to be surrounded by blazing heat, and that's likely painful to get too close to.

Searing Aura (Ex; Searing Creature Pattern)

This is a fire damage aura that effects all enemy creatures within 1 squares of the Searing Creature's space. This damage aura inflicts 1d3 points of fire (energy, common) damage. Affected creatures may make a Fortitude save agains a DC of 14 in order to take half damage.
