Filth Fire

Creature 4 — elemental, fire

CrasherSniperLANDelementalfire

These creatures look like roiling clouds of black smoke churning above a mound of burning refuse. Leering faces form and fade in the smoke above, while the burning detritus writhes in spasmodic lurches, obviously alive. Destructive manifestations of the Plane of Fire, fire elementals sometimes incorporate burning materials into their being or superheated matter, such as molten rock or searing smoke.

Abilities

Smoke Vision — The filth fire ignores the Concealed condition from smoke.
Noxious Burst (fire, poison, primal) — Toxic materials and churning rubbish within the filth fire's body explode in one of three ways. The filth fire chooses the effect, but it can't make the same choice twice in a row.

Fiery Beam (fire, primal) The filth fire expels a 30-foot line of flame that deals 3d6 fire damage with a DC 21 Reflex save.

Shrapnel Blast (primal) The filth fire shoots jagged rubbish out in a 5-foot emanation that deals 2d12 piercing damage with a DC 21 Reflex save.

Toxic Fumes (poison, primal) The filth fire belches a 15-foot cone of toxic smoke that deals 2d6 poison damage (DC 21 Fortitude save). A creature that fails is also Sickened 1 (Sickened 2 on a critical failure).

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLANDA frontline body holds melee attention while the filth fire alternates between its lash and ranged ember to punish repositioning.
FlankerLANDA mobile striker follows up on targets already burning from the filth fire's persistent damage.
WeaverLANDA caster's own area effect compounds the burst option the filth fire chooses each round.

PUNISHES

✖ clumping✖ low Reflex✖ melee reliance
Stacking fire damage sources against a party with cold resistance or evasion wastes the shared theme's pressure.
