TACTICS

Before Combat The Firebleeder prefers to move around below the surface, and attack its prey by surprise from below.

During Combat The Firebleeder uses its breath weapon as often as it can, making Power Attack full attacks on the rounds while it is waiting for its breath weapon to recharge, or trampling when its enemies are either out of range or suitably clustered together. It will bull rush opponents into pools of magma or other environmental hazards if any are present.

Morale The Firebleeder fights to the death.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Blindsight (Ex)

The Firebleeder can “see” by emitting high-frequency sounds, inaudible to most other creatures, that allow it to ascertain objects and creatures within 120 feet. A silence spell negates this ability, but its other forms of vision prevent it from being utterly blinded.

Firebleed (Ex)

As a creature of living fire and wrath, the Firebleeder ferociously strikes back against any creature that wounds it. Any attack that does more than 10 points of damage to the Firebleeder causes the wound to erupt in a 30-foot cone of magma. This cone deals 1d6 points of fire damage plus an additional 1d6 points of fire damage for every 10 points of damage dealt by the attack. Thus, an attack dealing 22 points of damage results in a cone dealing 3d6 points of fire damage, while an attack dealing 49 points of damage results in a cone dealing 5d6 points of fire damage.

Creatures affected by the cone may make a DC 43 Reflex save to take only half damage. The save DC is Constitution-based. Ranged attacks and any magical attacks that deal damage also cause this special ability to take effect. The Firebleeder can firebleed up to 10 times per round (an amount equal to its Constitution modifier).

Heat (Ex)

In addition to dealing 4d8 fire damage to creatures that hit it with natural attacks, the Firebleeder’s heat can melt or char weapons; any weapon that strikes the Firebleeder is allowed a DC 43 Fortitude save to avoid destruction. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Regeneration (Ex)

No form of attack deals lethal damage to the Firebleeder. The Firebleeder regenerates even if it fails a saving throw against a disintegrate spell or a death effect. If the Firebleeder fails its save against a spell or effect that would kill it instantly (such as those mentioned above), the spell or effect instead deals nonlethal damage equal to the creature’s full normal hit points plus its Constitution score (or 758 hp). The Firebleeder is immune to effects that produce incurable or bleeding wounds, such as mummy rot, a sword with the wounding special ability, or a clay golem’s cursed wound ability.

The Firebleeder can be slain only by raising its nonlethal damage total to its full normal hit points plus its Constitution score (or 758 hit points), at least half of which must be inflicted by cold damage, and using a wish or miracle spell to keep it dead. If the Firebleeder loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 1d6 minutes (the detached piece dies and decays normally). The Firebleeder can reattach the severed member instantly by holding it to the stump.
