Fire Elemental
Fire elementals are quick, deadly, and single-minded. They seek only to do the will of the flames from which they are born. Unlike other elemental spirits which arise naturally from the raw elements, fire elementals are the petitioners (reconstituted spirits of the dead who have received their eternal reward) of Pyrokus.Fire elementals are born from the spirits of mortals who have sought after Fire so hard that upon their death they entered Pyrokus and became one with it. They now are incorporeal spirits of Fire who seek only to do the will of the flames. Anyone who pursues Fire so devoutly that they make it their life's goal to attain it may become a Fire Elemental upon death, particularly those who are consumed by the flames of Pyrokus.
Fire elementals greatly resemble their corporeal forms in life, but they are wreathed in eternal flame that flickers and dances with them. Fire elementals speak whatever languages they knew in life, though they rarely choose to do so. When one speaks, its voice sounds like the crackle and hiss of a great fire.
The first fire elementals born were those humans who sought to steal Fire for themselves.
The best known individual fire elemental is Shota, who was once an Eag'Chept. Stories of her attempt to steal Fire circulate among the Chepts to this day.

A fire elemental’s slam attack deals bludgeoning damage plus fire damage from the elemental’s flaming body. Those hit by a fire elemental’s slam attack also must succeed on a Reflex save or catch on fire. The flame burns for 1d4 rounds. The save DC varies with the elemental’s size (see table). A burning creature can take a move action to put out the flame. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Creatures hitting a fire elemental with natural weapons or unarmed attacks take fire damage as though hit by the elemental’s attack, and also catch on fire unless they succeed on a Reflex save. If a creature hits a fire elemental with natural weapons or unarmed attacks but misses due to incorporeal miss change they still take the full effect from Burn as if they had succeeded on the hit, unless they succeed on a Reflex save.
