Cinder Rat (BB)
Creature 3 — elemental, fire
ShadeFlankerLANDelementalfire
Fire elementals are destructive manifestations of the Plane of Fire. They sometimes come to the world in powerful places of heat and flame where elemental vortexes form, such as in volcanoes. Cinder rats are oversized rodents made of smoldering charcoal and elemental fire. Noxious fumes continually bellow from their flaming flesh. Much like terrestrial rats, cinder rats seek out secluded dens and can quickly multiply in number if left unchecked.

Abilities
Smoke Vision — The cinder rat ignores the Concealed condition from smoke.
Fetid Fumes — A cloud of smoke surrounds the cinder rat. All creatures within 5-foot emanation{5 feet}, including the cinder rat, gain the Concealed condition from this smoke. A creature that comes within 5 feet of the cinder rat or begins its turn within 5 feet must succeed at a DC 22 Fortitude save or take a -1 status penalty to all checks and DCs for 1 round (Use Sickened 1) .
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA front-line body occupies attention while the concealing smoke lets this striker dart to a flank unseen.
SnareLANDA controller that keeps a party bunched together amplifies the accuracy tax the smoke cloud imposes on everyone inside it.
FlankerLANDAnother mobile skirmisher can exploit the same concealment to slip past the front line alongside this creature.
PUNISHES
✖ ranged reliance✖ clumping✖ precise-sense reliance
Avoid stacking with another Shade; overlapping concealment sources add little beyond what one smoke cloud already grants.
