Flame Body[edit]
At 1st level, since your body is made of fire, you have a natural resistance to it and your body burns those that aren’t forged by fire like you. You gain resistance to fire damage. Also, if someone without at least one level in the Pyrokinetic or Demon Infernal class hits you with a melee attack they take 1d8 fire damage.
Martial Arts[edit]
At 1st level, your fists are incredibly strong, making the need for weapons negligible. You gain the following benefits:
- You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your Unarmed Strikes.
- You can use a d6 in place of the normal damage of your Unarmed Strikes, which increase as you gain Demon Infernal levels as shown in the Martial Arts Die column of the Demon Infernal table.
- When you take the Attack action with an Unarmed Strike on your turn, you can make an additional Unarmed Strike as a bonus action
Insanity[edit]
At 1st level, while, unlike normal mindless Infernals, Demon Infernals have intelligence, but not much sanity, causing them to often go on murderous rampages if they aren’t able to resist. You must make a 15 - your Demon Infernal class level Intelligence saving throw every 24 hours or get the berserk condition.
Pyrokinetic Weakness[edit]
At 1st level, you’re weak to flames from other beings forged by fire. If a creature with levels in the Pyrokinetic class attacks you, you do not get resistance to their fire damage.
Unarmoured Defense[edit]
At 1st level, your body is unusually sturdy, making hits less effective. You can’t wear armor and you have a natural Armor Class of 10 + your Constitution modifier + your Dexterity modifier.
Unarmoured Movement[edit]
At 2nd level, your body is unusually fast. While not wearing armor, your movement speed increases by 10ft. This bonus increases as shown on the table above.
Intimidating Presence[edit]
At 2nd level, as a bonus action, you may force a creature within 25 feet of you must succeed a DC 8 + your Intelligence modifier + your proficiency bonus Wisdom saving throw or become frightened
Flame Points[edit]
At 3rd level, you have learned how to harness your flames. You have a number of Flame Points equal to your Demon Infernal level added twice + your Constitution modifier. You regain all Flame Points at the end of a long rest and half of your maximum at the end of a short rest.
Ignition save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier
Ignition attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier
Flame Claws[edit]
At 3rd level, you are able to encase your hands in flames, making claws.As a bonus action for 2 Flame Points, you may increase your unarmed strike die by 1 and deal an additional 1d4 fire damage each attack. The damage dice for the additional fire damage is 1 die tier less than your current Unarmed Strike die before this feature is used. This lasts for 1 minute.
Durability[edit]
At 3rd level, as a Demon Infernal, your durability is nothing to scoff at. As a reaction to being hit by an attack that you can see for 4 Flame Points, you may reduce the damage taken by 1d6. This increases to 1d10 at 7th level, 2d6 at 11th level, 2d10 at 14th level, and finally 3d6 at 18th level.
Ability Score Improvement[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Danger Sense[edit]
At 4th level, you gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren't as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away from danger. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can't be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.
Flame Weapon[edit]
At 5th level, you are able to conjure a weapon out of fire. As a bonus action for up to 5 Flame Points, you may create a weapon out of pure fire. This can be any weapon you wish that you have proficiency with and you can spend an additional point to increase the range to 15 feet. The weapon’s damage depends on the amount of Flame Points you spend, not including any additional Flame Points you spend. See the table below for the damage.
| Flame Points Spent | Damage |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1d10 + your Constitution modifier |
| 2 | 1d12 + your Constitution modifier |
| 3 | 2d6 + your Constitution modifier |
| 4 | 2d8 + your Constitution modifier |
| 5 | 2d10 + your Constitution modifier |
This weapon does fire damage but you can spend an additional Flame point to instead make it out of your body which deals the same amount of damage with the weapon’s original piercing, slashing, or bludgeoning. This lasts for 1 minute, but you may spend 2 Flame Points to keep it past its duration or 3 Flame Points within 1 minute after the duration to make the same weapon with the same damage output and other modifiers that you may have spent extra Flame Points to get.
