Brass bastions are formidable sentinels crafted from elemental fire and extraplanar brass. While they can be shaped into many forms, most depict muscular warriors with curving horns and stern or taunting expressions. Within each brass shell is a raging inferno—the source of its ceaseless heat. Though ifrits originally created brass bastions to act as servants and guards, the knowledge of how to craft them has spread throughout the Plane of Fire. They can even be found on the Plane of Earth than

Abilities
Molten Demise (arcane, fire) — When a brass bastion is destroyed, its body explodes in a flurry of elemental flame and superheated brass, dealing 4d6 piercing plus 4d6 fire{4d6 piercing damage and 4d6 fire damage} to creatures in a 20-foot emanation (DC 34 Reflex save).
Breathe Smoke (arcane, fire) — The brass bastion exhales superheated smoke and cinders in a 10-foot burst centered on a corner of its space. The smoke persists for 1 round. Any creature in the area (or that later enters the area) takes 15d6 fire damage (DC 34 Reflex save); on a critical failure, the creature catches fire, taking 2d6 persistent fire damage as well. All creatures in the smoke become Concealed, and all creatures outside the smoke become concealed to creatures within it. The brass bastion can't Breathe Smoke again for 1d4 rounds.
Heat Weapon — Metal weapons wielded by a brass bastion superheat, dealing 1d10 additional fire damage (included in its statistics).
