SPECIAL ABILITIES

Arcane Bond (Sp)

Once per day, a sentient waxwork can cast any one spell in its spellbook, even if the spell is not prepared, as if it had it prepared without metamagic feats or other abilities. If it loses its ring of protection +1, a sentient waxwork must make a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) to cast any spells.

Buoyant (Ex)

A sentient waxwork can float naturally and must succeed at DC 20 Swim check each round to stay underwater.

Dancing Flame (Su)

Five times per day, on its turn, a sentient waxwork can perform one of the following actions.

• Move any non-magical fire up to 30 feet as a standard action. If it doesn’t move it to a new fuel source, the fire is extinguished at the end of its next turn.
• Alter any instantaneous fire spell it casts by removing any number of squares it wants from the spell’s normal area of effect.
• Reposition any fire spell with a duration greater than instantaneous as a standard action as if it had cast the spell at the new location. It cannot use this ability on a fire spell she did not cast.

Fire Jet (Su)

Eight times per day, as a standard action, a sentient waxwork sends forth 20-ft. line of flame dealing 1d6+5 fire damage (Reflex DC 20, half).

Creatures that fail their save catch fire and take 1d6 fire damage on following round. They may avoid the additional damage by taking full-round action and succeeding at a DC 15 Reflex save to extinguish flames. Rolling on the ground gives +2 circumstance bonus to this save, and dousing a creature with water extinguishes the fire automatically.

Fire Supremacy (Su)

As a swift action, when within 5 feet of a flame at least as large as a campfire, a sentient waxwork can draw fire around itself. For 1 round, anyone striking a sentient waxwork with a non-reach melee weapon or unarmed strike takes 5 fire damage (no save).

Freeze (Ex)

A sentient waxwork can remain so still that it appears as an inanimate object. It can take 20 on Stealth checks to hide in plain sight as a wax sculpture.
