The Phlogistinator

At first level, you gain access to the mythical flamethrower called the Phlogistinator. This weapon bonds to you and only you are able to wield it. And You can summon it with a 1-minute ritual. It's also almost indestructible not being able to be destroyed while you are wielding it. And only being able to be destroyed by a 9th-level radiant spell when you are not wielding it. This applies to any weapon made from the same material as well.

It feeds off your strength. And you have to use your Strength to control and aim with it. you are proficient with this weapon.

Basic Attack

Is a ranged weapon attack with a 15 ft range able to attack one Creature at a time. It deals fire damage based on your level starting with 1d4 fire damage and is classified as a heavy, two-handed, weapon. Another small detail to this specific weapon is that making a ranged attack with it within melee range does not impose disadvantage.

Afterburn

A creature that takes damage from The Phlogistinator takes the Afterburn damage shown on the chart in fire damage at the start of each of its turns, not stacking with itself. A creature can end this damage by using its action to make a Dexterity check with the DC being equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier to extinguish the flames or until it has lasted 2 times your Charisma modifier in rounds. Additional hits from this weapon will restart the duration of the afterburn.

You start knowing three such features: WM1, Spray and Pray, Focus Flame. You can only use 1 Mmmph feature per attack unless specified otherwise.

Some of your Mmmph features require your target to make a saving throw The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Mmmph save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your cha modifier

WM1. When you are about to make a normal single-target attack with a Phlogistinator, you can use 1 Mmmph point. to make your attack act in a 5-foot-wide 15 feet long line in front of you. penetrating any creature standing in that line dealing damage as normal.

Spray and Pray. When you are about to make a normal single-target attack with a Phlogistinator, you can spend 2 Mmmph points to, spray everything in a 15 ft. cone. Each creature in the area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take the flamethrower's normal damage.
