Firebrand

A firebrand is a master of banefire and the chaos behind it. They are the best pyromaniac by far, capable of calling upon epic ignitions.

“	I'd never thought I'd burn so many thing in a day!	”
—Dyn Halaan, Hellbred Firebrand

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Firebrand.

Ignitions: A Firebrand gains new Ignitions based on her level; she may select final, greater, lesser and least ignition (and eventually epic ignitions).

Dual Ignition (Ex): A 1st level Firebrand may use two ignitions with a single standard action.

Fireminded (Ex):: A 1st level Firebrand is always under the benefits of a haste spell.

Banefire (Ex): A 3rd level Firebrand gains Banefire as a bonus feat. If she already had that feat, she may select another feat to which she meets the prerequisites.

Fire Skate (Ex): A 3rd level Firebrand ignores any difficult terrain and may move on cloud, liquid and vertical surface as if it was land.

Natural Blaster (Ex): A 5th level Firebrand deals double damage to any object she attempts to break with her firebolt or Ignitions, ignoring any hardness check.

Epic Ignition (Ex): A 6th level Firebrand can choose of the Epic Ignitions below henceforth:

• Balefire, Essence: Target slain by Balefire cannot be resurrected by any means, as their very existence is ruined to void. Firebolt is considered as Dread for mortal creatures (non-fey, dragon, undead and outsider).
• Firebolt, Greater, Shape: Your firebolt deals 1d8 fire damage per caster level, instead of 1d6.
• Lava Tsunami: As tsunami, except damage dealt is as if each affected creature was submerged in lava.
• Plasma Discs Volley, Shape Essence: As plasma disc but can be used for repetitive attacks.
• Promethian Flames, Essence: Your firebolt heals allies in its line of effect by the same amount of damage it would deal instead.
• Solar Bomb, Shape Essence: Your firebolt requires one round to charge, creating a mini star. You hurl the star, which explodes on contact, to a 1000-ft. radius. It deals ten times the damage of your fireboat. For example, Ikarus is an epic Firebrand wizard. After a successful range touch attack, he hurls a Solar Bomb to an enemy army, dealing a total 1000 points of fire damage to all creatures within the spell's area of effect (Firebolt 25d6, rolled 100 points of damage and multiplied it by 10). A Firebrand may only take Solar bomb if you have at least 30 HD.

Grim Fire (Ex): A 7th level Firebrand's banefire now applies even to creature that are otherwise immune to fire.

Devouring Flames (Ex): A 9th level Firebrand's flames wholly consume the body of any creature slain by it and transfer some of its life force back to the caster, gaining the creature's total HD in d6s as temporary hit points. The temporary HP last for 1 min/ per caster level.

Flurry of Ignition (Ex): A 10th level Firebrand may now use it one Ignition per round as a free action.
