Blue Fire Oni

Personality

They are a bomb of emotions who can charm anyone. They are well known to be solar and kind to anybody and they can be very reliable too, however the price for their company is often a night or two in their bed. Both males and females tend to be very active in both social and private life, always being the one to do the first step in relations and in new things. One of the few down sides of their personality is that they are really bad in reading the atmosphere and tend to joke around everything without noticing that it's not the moment.

Physical Description

They are way smaller than their Red Fire brothers, in fact they tend to be between 5'3" and 5'9", however this difference in height is compensated by their agility and their speed. Unlike their Red Fire brothers they are less tough but they are way more flexible and sharp when it comes down to speed. They tend to have less colorful eyes with grey or dark tonalities usually but some of them may even have brighter eyes, their hair are blue like the ice and they have small horns usually black or light blue.

Relations

They get along with any race and tend to be the most lovable ones between all the others.

Alignment

They tend to be chaotic neutral. Very few of them are either evil or good and few of them are lawful too.

Language

They can speak common and can easily speak celestial too.

Racial Traits

• +4 Dexterity; +2 Charisma; −4 Wisdom: They are very agile and they know how to talk well with people, however they are not good at understanding what's around them.
• Outsider (Native): just like Tieflings they are outsiders.
• Medium: you have neither bonuses nor penalties for being medium.
• Blue Fire Oni base land speed is 40 ft feet.
• Blue Fire Onis gain a +2 to every check made to interact with people and to keep running, moreover they get a +2 to both tumble and jump.
• Fire Bound: Both your body and soul are linked to infernal flames, you are able to light up yourself in those flames as a free action, when you do this you gain ×2 your basic land speed as bonus land speed and you don't provoke attacks of opportunity for the round, moreover if you move at least 80 ft in a round while this ability is active you deal an extra 1d6 damage of the same type of the basic damage with your next attack, this value is increased to 2d6 at 10th level. Lastly in the round where you use this ability the enemies you attack lose all their dexterity and dodge bonuses to AC. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your dexterity mod/3 + 1 every time you rest, you can use 1 extra time this ability for every 10 levels starting by 10th level (+2 at 10th, +3 at 20th and so on).
• Fire Charming Tongue: Your tongue can convince anyone of anything. When you are talking to someone and use this ability you roll 1d20 and you add your charisma mod and your level/4, the person who is talking to you (all of them if more people are talking to you) must throw a charisma roll (1d20 + Charisma mod), if they succeed nothing special happens but the people understand that you tried to use a special ability to convince them, if they fail they are way more likely to listen to you and do what you want, in any case even if they fail their attitude towards you gets better and is more likely to increase in future. For example if you are about to engage a person you just met in combat you may try to use this ability, if they fail the roll the person is more likely to not attack if not offended and it's more likely to find a compromise. If you use this ability on a person who's hostile towards you you have a -2 to this roll, if you use this on a person who's friendly with you you gain a +2 to this roll. This is not like a mental control ability but more like an illusion or charm ability so the people, even if they fail the roll, might refuse to do what you want them to do or to agree with you. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your charisma mod/3 + 1 every time you rest, you can use 1 extra time this ability for every 10 levels starting by 10th level (+2 at 10th, +3 at 20th and so on).
• Automatic Languages: Common and Celestial. Bonus Languages: Abyssal, Halfling and Infernal.
