1. Apr 02, 2014  righteous fire and elemental damage. Only played righteous fire in the last patch, but as far as i know elemental dmg% doesnt apply to righteous fire at all. Only burning/fire dmg. Increased elemental damage does apply to RF since fire is part of the elemental damage formula.
2. In 3.5e you could probably have fun slapping the half-elemental template on creatures and imagining how an ecosystem would work. Or try to devise something related to a (Fire) Archomental, or Elemental Monoliths of the fire variety. Maybe a Planar Touchstone site exists. Kossuth's divine realm, the Crimson Pillar, is on the Plane of Fire.
3. Just like in the DMG, a formula is needed. Exotic materials are required, like skin of a Yeti or a vial of water from a whirlpool in the Elemental Plane of Water. Finding these materials should take place as part of the adventure and in thematically-congruent locations.
4. Fire damage is usually accompanied by a Dex save to take half damage. This does not apply to the direct damage of standing IN flames, only the initial burning that occurs when the flames appear. So the moment you catch fire you have a chance to put it out (drop and roll maybe) during your next turn or otherwise avoid taking full damage.
5. The DMG suggests that items like this have a 'formula'. Maybe the weapon needs to be tempered in the heart of a volcano and quenched in the blood of a fire elemental. Warlock 14 points 3 years. Without being overly powerful, try swapping out a die (or part of one) and replacing it with a die that does fire damage instead of.

From D&D Wiki

(The rule for diagonal movement sacrifices realism for the sake of smooth play. The Dungeon Master’s Guide provides guidance on using a more realistic approach.) If a square costs extra movement, as a square of difficult terrain does, you must have enough movement left to pay for entering it. You fire a bow or a crossbow, hurl a handaxe.

Fire Elementals[edit]

Fiery inhabitants of the Elemental Plane of Fire, these conjured beings only exist in the material plane at the will of their conjurers. This is a proof of concept race that I am currently working on. I have not yet playtested a character as a fire elemental and will be updating this in the upcoming weeks.

Personality[edit]

Fire elementals are not well like by common people and as such tend to avoid towns when they are free. Most fire elementals are summoned as guardians of powerful wizards or artifacts and must be bound to a physical object to prevent them from returning to the elemental plane of fire. Given half the chance they would see nothing more than complete annihilation of all traces of life from the material plane to be replaced by the scorching fire of their home.

Physical Description[edit]

The average weight of a fire elemental depends on the object it is bound to, as the elemental itself weighs nothing. The average height of the elemental depends on how much energy it has consumed. All about it is fiery red and orange, eyes, 'hair', 'skin.'

Relations[edit]

Many races hate fire elementals due to their tendency towards destruction and death. Most fire elementals do not care who helps them only who holds them back, as their magical binders often do.

Alignment[edit]

Fire elementals are generally chaotic evil due to their love of fiery destruction and the fact that they are trying to destroy all life.

Lands[edit]

Fire elementals live commonly on the elemental plane of fire unless they are caught in a summoning ritual that takes them to other planes.

Religion[edit]

Fire elementals do not normally worship any god but those who do worship Erythnul (The god of slaughter) or Wee Jas (The god of death and magic).

Language[edit]

Fire elementals all speak Ignan and they also speak some Common.

Names[edit]

On their home plane the fire elementals do not give themselves names instead describing themselves in Ignan. However once summoned the elementals may be given names by the ones who conjure them. Commonly their names are in draconic referring to their fiery nature(ex. Ixen Atonus).

Racial Traits[edit]

Upon conjuration and whenever the conjurers goals differ from it’s own it may try to seize control and dominate the conjurer. The conjurer makes a Will Save and the fire elemental makes a DC equal to the Conjurers Will Save + 4. If the Fire Elemental succeeds it's roll it is now dominating the Conjurer and is in control until the Conjurer meets the same requirements to try to regain control of the Fire Elemental.
• Bound Weapon: All fire elementals have a weapon that grows and shrinks along with the elemental, doing more or less damage.

• Energy(Su): Fire elementals do not have health in the way material beings do, instead they have energy that they can regenerate by absorbing fire. They can overcharge up to double energy; however, it drains at a rate of 1/round until back at base energy. Base starting energy is always 15 + Con and they gain 1d4 + Con energy per level. At 0 energy the elemental goes into a hibernation state in which they can only be revived by heating their binding component to 1500°F. Elementals can absorb fire to regain energy equal to the cubic feet of fuel used(consumes all fuel and extinguishes the fire). The elemental loses energy by taking magic or elemental damage(not fire) or having a limb removed by any means. When losing a limb the elemental will not lose energy immediately and can regenerate the limb. Using one standard action an elemental can regenerate all limbs. When limbs are regenerated the elemental uses 3 energy per limb. For this case the head is not considered a limb, regenerating instantly without an energy cost. The elemental's size is based on remaining energy. It does gain stat increases or decreases based on size.
