====== Fire Elemental ====== Fire elementals appear as a flame, tiny ones like the flame of a flickering candle, larger ones like the blazing wall of a forest fire. Damage is done by burning and is performed at a degree related to their size. When determining the type, range, area of effect, and combat dice of burning attacks, tiny and very small elementals use burning as a second degree skill, small and medium as third, large as fourth, extra-large as fifth, and gargantuan as sixth degree. Unlike other traditional elementals, mana used is based on the skill degree required to use it in that way, just like a traditional skill user. Tiny and very small fire elementals can manipulate fire as a third degree skill-user, small and medium as fourth, large and extra-large as fifth, and gargantuan as sixth. Water wielded as a weapon against them uses up two points of their mana per degree of the character wielding. Summoned fire elementals are generally harder to control, and require a non-combat action to keep under control rather than simply a passive action. ^ General ^ ^ ^ Defenses ^ Dice ^ Potential ((Smaller fire elementals get the standard additional defense dice due to size.)) ^ | Encounter | Uncommon Solitary | | Piercing | 12 | | | Size | Tiny to Gargantuan | | Bludgeoning | 6 | | | Initiative | 4 | | Slashing | 8 | | | Hit Points | By Size | | Poison / Disease | Immune | | | Mana | 5 - 25 | | Freezing | 3 | | | | | | Burning / Acid | Immune | | ^ Movement ^ Speed | | Electricity | 12 | | | Run | Very Fast | | Cognitive | 7 | | | Swim | N/A | | Emotional | Immune | | | Fly | N/A | | Self | 3 | | ^ Skill ^ Degree ^ Dice ^ Mana Used ^ | Burning | 2 - 6 (by size) | 6 - 14 | 1 | | Fire Manipulation | 3 - 6 (by size) | ? | 1 |
