''This odd bird-like creature appears to have a cannon for an arm. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou It aims its weapon directly at you ] the moment it notices your approach.''
[[Summary::Magmortar is the ultimate form of the [[Magmar (3.5e Monster)|Magmar]] line. It's able to use a variety of elemental attacks.]]
=== Combat ===
Magmortar's special attacks take a huge leap in effectiveness, and its physical combat isn't too shabby either. Its Constitution is only average, but it has decent special defenses as well. However, Magmortar is somewhat slow, and a Magmar is capable of outrunning it.
Magmortar's flare attack is a short-ranged heat wave, treated as a melee touch attack. It is a secondary natural weapon (taking the according penalty) and its attack and damage rolls are influenced by Magmortar's Constitution instead of its Strength (which isn't really a good thing for Magmortar, as its Constitution is mediocre at best). Still, its flare attack is strong enough to be a reasonably effective attack option.
'''{{Anchor|Flame Body}} ([[Su]]):''' Magmortar's body is very hot. Anything striking it with an unarmed attack or natural weapon takes 1 point of fire damage per HD Magmortar has (15 for the sample Magmortar) and must succeed on a [[SRD:Reflex|Reflex]] save or suffer a [[Burned (3.5e Condition)|burn]]. The save DC is equal to 10 + ½ Magmortar's HD + Magmortar's [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] modifier.
'''{{Anchor|Egg Move}}:''' The Egg move Magmortar had as a [[Magby (3.5e Monster)|Magby]] and [[Magmar (3.5e Monster)|Magmar]] is improved:
*''{{Anchor|Cross Chop}} ([[Ex]]):'' When making a slam attack, Magmortar may elect to take a penalty on its attack roll up to its Base Attack Bonus. If it does, it may only make one slam attack for any attack action (thus, it only makes one slam if making a full attack), but its slam attack's threat range is increased by 1 per point of penalty (for instance, taking a −5 penalty increases the threat range from 20 only to 14-20). The penalty taken to use Cross Chop is not applied to a roll made to confirm a critical hit. Cross Chop also adds 1d6 to its slam attack's damage per point of penalty taken, and these extra damage die ''are'' multiplied by a critical hit. Cross Chop stacks with [[SRD:Power Attack|Power Attack]], should Magmortar later choose to take it, and Power Attack combines perfectly with Cross Chop; this means that the attack roll penalty taken with Cross Chop is also applied to Power Attack, with no additional penalty needing to be taken, and this allows Power Attack to be used with a penalty and bonus greater than +5. Cross Chop cannot be used in conjunction with some of Magmortar's other attack options, including [[#Fire Punch|Fire Punch]], [[#Ice Punch|Ice Punch]], and [[#ThunderPunch|ThunderPunch]]. The attack penalty taken with Cross Chop applies to all slam attacks made until the end of the round. Cross Chop is a [Fighting] effect.
*''{{Anchor|Flare Blitz}} ([[Su]]):'' As a Swift action, Magmortar may cast ''[[SRD:Fire Shield|fire shield]]''. It may then dispel the effect by making a melee attack, dealing 1d8 extra Fire damage per HD and setting the opponent on fire for 2d8 fire damage per round. Doing this deals 1d8 damage per 4 HD to Magmortar (minimum 1d8 at 4 HD or less). This may be cast once per 5 rounds. This is a [Fire] effect. In a Contest, using this automatically gains a fantastic success, gaining 2 points and raising the DC, but Magmortar takes a -−4 penalty on the following turn.
*''{{Anchor|Mach Punch}} ([[Ex]]):'' Magmortar may make a slam attack as an immediate action. Mach Punch cannot be used in conjunction with [[#Fire Punch|Fire Punch]], [[#Ice Punch|Ice Punch]], or [[#ThunderPunch|ThunderPunch]]. This is a [Fighting] effect.
'''{{Anchor|Leer}} ([[Su]]):''' As a standard action, Magmortar may attempt to unsettle opponents and make them open up their guard a bit. Its menacing stare affects all targets within a 30-foot cone that meet Magmortar's gaze, forcing them to succeed on a Will save (DC 21, Wisdom-based) or gain [[Damage Susceptibility (3.5e Creature Ability)|damage susceptibility]] 3/physical for 5 rounds. This is treated as a gaze attack, and thus can be avoided in any of the same ways that a gaze attack can be, but it is not continuously active; Magmortar has to consciously ''choose'' to use it. (It's just like a [[SRD:Vampire|vampire]]'s [[SRD:Vampire#Dominating Gaze|dominating gaze]] in that respect.) Leer is a [Fear, Mind-Affecting] effect, with all of the capabilities and limitations that are implied by said descriptors (in other words, Magmortar's wasting its time by trying to use Leer on a mindless creature or a [[SRD:Paladin|paladin]]).
{{underbar|Something's missing...|Magmortar would normally have [[#Ember|Ember]] here, but it's already been replaced by [[#Flamethrower|Flamethrower]]. The Pokemon d20 project tries to stay consistent in terms of what each ability does, and Flamethrower is a replacement for Ember.}}
'''{{Anchor|Smokescreen}} ([[Su]]):''' As a standard action, Magmortar can fill a cylinder centered on itself with a 15-foot radius and 15 feet high with with smoke from the flames on its body, similar to an ''[[SRD:Obscuring Mist|obscuring mist]]'' effect. Fire-subtype creatures can see further through the smoke; for them, creatures 10 feet away have only [[SRD:Concealment|concealment]] and creatures 5 feet away are not concealed.
'''''{{Anchor|Confuse Ray}}'' ([[Sp]]):''' Magmortar may cast ''[[SRD:Confusion|confusion]]'' as a standard action; however, instead of its normal targeting mechanism, Magmortar's ''confusion'' is a magical ray (that is, a ranged touch attack). If Confuse Ray connects, it automatically confuses the target with no save allowed. Magmortar may use its Charisma modifier instead of its Dexterity modifier in the attack roll. If Confuse Ray scores a critical hit, the target becomes permanently insane, as the [[SRD:Insanity|''insanity'']] spell. This move is a [Ghost] effect, but can affect Normal-type Pokémon.
'''{{Anchor|Fire Punch}} ([[Su]]):''' When making a slam attack, Magmortar can wreath its fist in fire energy. This adds 2d6 fire damage to its unarmed attack and (assuming Magmortar hits) forces the target to make a Fortitude save against being [[Burned (3.5e Condition)|burned]]. This attack is an ordinary slam attack in all other respects. The Fortitude save DC is Strength-based and has a +2 racial bonus. This move is a [Fire] effect. <!-- Magmortar has Same-Type Attack Bonus for its Fire Punch, so it's stronger than the other twoMagihexy's and Electivire's. Magihexy enjoys a similar benefit for its Ice Punch, and Electivire enjoys a similar benefit for its ThunderPunch. -->
'''{{Anchor|ThunderPunch}} ([[Su]]):''' When making a slam attack, Magmortar can wreath its fist in electric energy. This adds 1d8 electricity damage to its unarmed attack and (assuming Magmortar hits) forces the target to make a Fortitude save against being [[Numbed (3.5e Condition)|numbed]]. This attack is an ordinary slam attack in all other respects. The Fortitude save DC is Strength-based. This move is an [Electric] effect.
'''{{Anchor|Sunny Day}} ([[Su]]):''' Magmortar may replicate the effects of the [[Drought (3.5e Feat)|Drought]] feat as a standard action; however, the sunlight caused by Magmortar lasts for only 5 rounds.
'''{{Anchor|Flamethrower}} ([[Su]]):''' Instead of [[#Ember|Ember,]] , Magmortar has an advanced breath weapon. Magmortar's flamethrower attack strikes in a 40-ft. line or 20-ft. cone and deals 1d8 fire damage per HD plus Magmortar's Charisma bonus. Creatures in the area may halve the damage on a successful Reflex save, DC 10 + Magmortar's Charisma or Constitution modifier (whichever is higher) + ½ Magmortar's Hit Dice. Magmortar may not use Flamethrower for 1d4+1 rounds after having used it. This is a [Fire] effect.
Magmortar learns Flamethrower at 12 HD; the sample Magmortar already knows it.
====Obsolete Moves====
'''{{Anchor|Ember}} ([[Su]]):''' Magmortars with less than 12 HD have a very minor [[SRD:Breath Weapon|breath weapon]]; they can breathe fire. A Magmortar's ember attack strikes in a 21 20 ft. line and deals 1d6 + HD + Cha mod in fire damage. Creatures in the area may halve the damage on a successful [[SRD:Reflex|Reflex]] save, [[SRD:DC|DC]] = 10 + MagmprtarMagmortar's [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] or Constitution modifier (whichever is higher) + ½ Magmortar's Hit Dice. Magmortar may not use Ember for 1d4 rounds after having used it. The sample Magmortar no longer knows Ember; it has [[#Flamethrower|Flamethrower]] instead. This is a [Fire] effect.
