Pyrokinetic[edit]
A Pyrokinetic is someone who can utilize fire for combat and can sometimes use fire to create other things like electricity, plasma, and magnetic fields. There are 3 generations of Pyrokinetics. The first generation become flaming beings with little sentience who’s only objective is to kill, which happens via Spontaneous Human Combustion, or SHC. The second generation can manipulate fire in many ways but aren’t capable of creating it, so they have to create it themselves in some way or use their enemy’s fire. The third generation can create fire but can’t manipulate it besides certain ways that depend on what type of ignition power they have.
Note:
Damage Dice Progression: When a feature says you increase the damage dice of an attack by 1 step or tier, it means it follows some variation of the following progression. 1d4>1d6>1d8>1d10>1d12>2d6>2d8>2d10>2d12>4d6>4d8>4d10>4d12>8d6>8d8>8d10>8d12… and so on, whereupon reaching d6s again the dice count doubles.
Creating a Pyrokinetic[edit]

Ignition Ability[edit]
At 1st level, you get an Ignition Ability, which allows you to wield fire in different ways. First, pick between 2nd Generation and 3rd Generation. Then choose an Ignition Ability from the ones listed in the Generation. You gain the features from this Ignition Ability that you would unlock at 1st level. You gain more features from this at 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 20th levels.
- Flame Points
The abilities granted to you by your Ignition Ability are fueled by the oxygen flowing through your body which is represented by Flame Points. You have an amount of Flame Points to spend equal to 3 times your level plus your Constitution modifier. You regain all of your flame points during a long rest and half of your maximum during a short rest.
Ignition save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier
Ignition attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier
- Tephrosis
You have a limited amount of oxygen in your body meaning you aren’t able to use your Ignition Ability infinitely. Using an Ignition Ability too much depletes your oxygen supply and if you use it too much your body starts turning to ash in a process called Tephrosis. You can use Flame Points beyond your maximum but for every 5 Flame Points you use you lose 5 maximum hit points that cannot be regained by any means except from spells of 8th level or higher and you take 1 damage for every Flame Point used above your maximum.
Martial Arts[edit]
You’ve trained to fight with anything you can to support your flames, to include your fists.
- You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your Unarmed Strikes.
- You can use a d4 in place of the normal damage of your Unarmed Strikes, which increase as you gain Pyrokinetic levels as shown in the Martial Arts Die column of the Pyrokinetic table.
- When you take the Attack action with an Unarmed Strike on your turn, you can make one Unarmed Strike as a bonus action.
Generation Ability[edit]
Both generations have a certain trait which all Pyrokinetics within those generations have. At 2nd level, depending on what Generation you picked at 1st level, you get a new ability. If you picked 3rd Generation you get resistance to all Fire damage from any source. If you picked 2nd Generation you have advantage on all saving throws against Fire damage and attackers have disadvantage on attacks that deal Fire damage as long as you can see the attacks and effects.
Ability Score Improvement[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 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.
Hand Signs[edit]
At 4th level, you’ve learned how to shape your hands in ways that affect the flow of ki in your body, strengthening your flames, even if you are 2nd Generation. For 5 Flame Points, as a bonus action, as long as you have at least one open hand, you can make one of the following hand signs to improve the next pyrokinetic ability you use. You can only have one hand sign in effect at a time.
- Tiger
You enhance your firepower, making them deal more damage. You increase the ability’s damage die amount by 2.
- Boar
You enhance your fire output, making them larger. You double the area of effect/range of the ability.
Extra Attack[edit]
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 17th level in this class.
Hysterical Strength[edit]
At 8th level, you’ve learned to utilize the hysterical strength of the fight or flight response in combat. When you reach a third of your maximum hit points, you enter a state called the Press of Death. While in this state, your martial arts damage die increases by 1 tier, your unnamed strikes and unarmed strike equivalent attacks (pyrokinetic abilities that replace unarmed strikes and natural weapons) have +2 to attack and damage rolls, and you gain a +2 bonus to your AC. This state ends once you are no longer in combat or you have health above a third of your hit points.
Adolla's Grace[edit]
At 9th level, you can attain the grace of Adolla, granting your flames an extra boost via a connection to the Adolla dimension, a dimension of flame, but only for a second. When using a pyrokinetic ability, you can connect to Adolla for an extra 15 Flame Points, increasing the damage die amount by 3, the area of effect/range doubles, you have advantage on attack rolls, targets have disadvantage on saving throws, and the critical hit range increases to 18-20. These can be stacked with hand signs.
Breath of Life[edit]
At 10th level, you learn to hear the Breath of Life in attacks. As a bonus action, for 6 Flame Points, you can enter a special state where you focus on the breath of your attackers for 1 minute. While focusing you have disadvantage on attack rolls but all attacks against you are made with disadvantage and you have a bonus to your AC equal to half your Proficiency Bonus as long as you can hear the attacker. This state ends if you become deafened by any means. You can spend 3 Flame Points at the end of the duration to keep up this form for another minute.
Improved Hand Signs[edit]
At 13th level, your usage of hand signs has improved greatly. You can now use any hand sign as a free action to enhance the next pyrokinetic ability you use but they now cost 8 Flame Points to use. You can down cast your hand signs to cast the basic signs to spend less. The previous hand signs improve, and you gain an additional sign as well, as listed below.
- Improved Tiger
You are able to further enhance your firepower, greatly increasing the damage done by your flames. You now increase the ability’s damage die amount by 4.
- Improved Boar
You are able to further enhance your fire output, greatly increasing the size of your flames. You now triple the ability’s area of effect/range.
- Ox
You can enhance the heat of your flames, making them more difficult to withstand. Creatures have disadvantage on any saving throws caused by your ability.
Press of Death[edit]
At 15th level, you have fully mastered the hysterical strength of the fight or flight response to the point where you can use it at any time. You can enter the Press of Death state as an action. If you each a third of your maximum hit points you end the Press of Death state if you are already in it and enter the True Press of Death state making your martial arts damage die increase by 2 tiers, your unnamed strikes and unarmed strike equivalent attacks (pyrokinetic abilities that replace unarmed strikes and natural weapons) have +4 to attack and damage rolls, you gain a +3 bonus to your AC, and you have advantage on saving throws. This state ends once you are no longer in combat or you have health above a third of your hit points.
Third Eye[edit]
At 17th level, you can open your 6th chakra gate in your forehead, opening your third eye, as a bonus action for 3 Flame Points. This lasts for 1 minute and you can spend 1 Flame Point every minute after that first minute to keep it active. While your third eye is open you can look into other dimensions and planes of existence.
Adolla Burst[edit]
At 18th level, you can not only obtain temporary grace from Adolla for a second but can effectively extract flames from Adolla and use them for longer. For 20 Flame Points as an action, you can utilize the flames of Adolla increasing the damage die tier by 4, the area of effect/range triples, you have advantage on attack rolls, targets have disadvantage on saving throws, and the critical hit range increases to 17-20. This lasts for 1 minute. These can be stacked with hand signs but not with the Adolla’s Grace feature.
Mastered Hand Signs[edit]
At 20th level, you have completely mastered the use of hand signs putting you among some of the strongest Pyrokinetics ever. You are now able to use hand signs with no action required, but they now cost 10 Flame Points and can still be down casted like usual. You can also now use two different hand signs at a time but cannot use two of the same. Your hand signs improve even further, and you learn a new one.
- Mastered Tiger
You enhance your flame’s firepower to the absolute limit, significantly increasing your damage. You increase your ability’s damage die amount by 5.
- Mastered Boar
You enhance your flame’s fire output to the max, significantly increasing the size of your flames. You quadruple the area of effect/range of your ability.
- Improved Ox
You further enhance the heat of your flames making them much more difficult to withstand. Creatures have disadvantage on any saving throws caused by your ability, and you have advantage on attack rolls with your ability.
- Serpent
You enhance the unpredictability of your flames, making them much more difficult to defend against. The crit range of your ability increases by 1 (20 to 19-20 etc.)
2nd Generation Ignition Abilities[edit]
Absorber[edit]
Instead of controlling and manipulating flames you can absorb kinetic energy and turn it into fire that is temporarily stored in your body for you to release via special attacks.

- Absorption
At 1st level, you treat your Flame Points as Potential Flame Points, meaning you have none of your own, but you do have a maximum you can gain. Whenever you take damage, you can use a reaction while being hit with any physical attack to reduce the damage by your Constitution modifier. The damage that is reduced is turned into Flame Points. You have an amount of extra reactions equal to your Proficiency Bonus + your Constitution modifier that can only be used for this feature. All Flame Points are lost at the end of a short or long rest.
- Release
At 1st level, you can release the kinetic energy you have stored through certain abilities. There are 3 abilities. If you have used Absorption within the last 2 turns you cannot use any of these abilities. If you have used any of these abilities within the last 2 turns you cannot use Absorption. You can spend an amount of Flame Points on these abilities up to your Constitution modifier. X equals the amount of Flame Points spent on the ability.
- Punch/Counter: You yell out “PUNCH!” and make an unarmed strike against a creature. On a hit, you deal your normal unarmed strike as well as an amount of fire damage equal to xd6. You can use this as a reaction to being hit as well. If you do so you instead yell out “COUNTER!” and deal an extra xd4 fire damage instead of d6. Punch and Counter count as unarmed strikes for the purpose of action costs and reactions against you.
- Walk/Stomp: As an action, you yell out “WALK!” and move up to your movement speed while causing explosions under your feet with each step. Every 5ft you move you cause an explosion making every creature within 5ft of you make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they take xd8 + your Constitution modifier fire damage and half as much on a success. You can also direct this on a single creature that is prone replacing an unarmed strike causing them to take the damage if you hit.
- Clap: As an action, you yell out “CLAP!” as you clap your hands in front of you. Every creature 10ft in front of you must make a Dexterity saving throw taking xd8 + your Constitution modifier fire damage and half as much on a success.
- Superior Attacks
At 3rd level, you are able to release energy better through your attacks. When you make an attack roll with a Release ability you can spend 5 extra Flame Points to gain advantage on the roll. These extra Flame Points do not count towards the damage.
- Improved Absorption
At 7th level, your body is able to store more kinetic energy from each attack. You can now reduce damage from physical attacks by your Constitution modifier added twice.
- Improved Release
At 11th level, you are able to release far more kinetic energy with each attack. You can now spend your Constitution modifier added thrice Flame Points on Release abilities.
- Quicker Absorption
At 15th level, you can absorb energy faster than normal. You now have a number of extra reactions for Absorption equal to your Proficiency Bonus + your Constitution modifier added twice.
- The Reflector
At 20th level, you have become the ultimate reflector, able to absorb any blow and throw the force right back at them with ease. You can now reduce damage by your Constitution modifier added thrice and you can spend up to 4 times your Constitution modifier Flame Points on Release abilities. Also, you gain the ability to, once you reach your Flame Point maximum, not attack any further until you have an amount of Flame Points up to double your maximum and release all of the energy absorbed as an action. When you use this action, you automatically spend all Flame Points you have on a massive explosion from your body dealing xd12 fire damage that bypasses resistances and immunities to all creatures in a 120ft radius from you. After using this you immediately die and can’t be brought back by anything except the wish spell or the Shinrabansho Man feature in the Devil’s Footprint subclass.
Thermo-Acoustic Cooling[edit]
You are able to turn flames into sound waves and turn those sound waves into ice by filtering them through a tuba-shaped instrument.

- Thermo-Acoustic Refrigeration
At 1st level, you are the only Pyrokinetic who deals with ice alongside fire. You start with a tuba-shaped instrument with a handle in the middle and a handheld bell. As a bonus action or reaction to a fire-based spell being cast or a flame-based attack being made, you can ring the bell, and you can have any amount of fire within 30ft concert into sound waves and enter your instrument. This costs 1 Flame Point per 5ft cube of fire converted. You must be holding the instrument, and you must be able to ring the bell to use it. This ability doesn’t work if, for whatever reason, sound cannot exist where you or the fire is. For every Flame Point spent you gain 1 Frost Point. Frost Points are used to fuel your other abilities instead of Flame Points. You can have a maximum of 30 Frost Points at a time and lose them all at the end of a short or long rest. The instrument can also be used as a weapon dealing 1d8 bludgeoning damage.
- Frost Summoning
At 1st level, you can spend Frost Points to use the sound waves inside of your instrument and turn it into ice. You gain use the following abilities:
- Ice Spike: As an action for 2 Frost Points, you can summon a big spike made of ice and throw it at someone. Make a ranged spell attack against a target within 45ft. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 + your Dexterity modifier piercing damage.
- Freeze: As an action for 4 Frost Points, you can freeze an object within 45ft, to include water. You encase the object in ice in any way you like if your DM approves. You can also use it on creatures for 6 Frost Points forcing them to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature is petrified in ice. You can also use this as a reaction to being targeted by a projectile for 6 Frost Points.
- Ice Shield
At 3rd level, you can make a shield out of ice to protect you and your allies from attacks. As a reaction for 5 Frost Points, you can make an Ice Shield, and the attack will target that instead of you. The Ice Shield has an amount of hit points equal to your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. You can also use this ability to shield any creature or object within 30ft of you.
- Upgraded Tuba
At 7th level, you can talk to a blacksmith to upgrade your tuba. For every 10gp you spend you can increase the maximum Frost Points your tuba can hold by 10. For every 15gp you spend you can increase the melee damage of the tuba by 1 tier to a maximum of 3d6. These prices are in total (If you spend 30gp your melee damage increases by 2 tiers and your maximum Frost Points increase by 30). Your DM can regulate the regularity and price of this feature as you go on. Also, when taking a short rest, you only lose half instead of all frost points.
- Ice Weapon
At 11th level, for 8 Frost Points as a bonus action, you can blow your tuba to coat yours or your team members weapons in ice. This lasts for 1d4+1 turns. While this is active the weapon does an extra 1d8 cold damage. At 15th level this increases to 2d8.
- The Great Spikes of Ice
At 15th level, your Ice Spike becomes more powerful than before, allowing you to make many spikes at once. As an action for 15 Frost Points, you can shoot ice spikes in a 10ft radius centered on a point within 60ft of you. Everyone in that radius must make a Dexterity saving throw taking 6d8 + your Dexterity modifier cold damage, and half as much on success.
- Area Freezing
At 15th level, as an action for 10 Frost Points, you blast ice straight at the ground, freezing it. The surrounding area in a 60ft radius becomes difficult terrain. When you use this every creature of your choice may either be affected by Freeze or take 4d6 cold damage, your choice.
- Frost Blast of the Tuba
At 20th level, as an action for 25 Frost Points, you blow ice out of your tuba so hard that it’s deafening to the ears. All creatures besides you in a 20-foot radius must make a Constitution saving throw. On failure, they take 8d6 cold damage and become deafened and paralyzed for 1 minute. On success they take half as much damage without the effects. You may also spend an additional amount of Frost Points up to your proficiency bonus to add an extra d6 for each additional Frost Point spent.
The Witch[edit]
You have complete control and mastery over fire even turning flames into spirits, which grants you the name The Witch.

- Sputter
At 1st level, you have the ability to turn fire into a spirit named Sputter. If there is a source of fire around you, you can change it into a small fire spirit for 3 Flame Points. You must spend 1 additional Flame Point at the end of each of your turns to keep the spirit active. As a bonus action, you can command the fire spirt to take its turn. You can have an amount of these active equal to half your proficiency bonus and you must spend 1 Flame Point for each Sputter active. You can dismiss any Sputters you have active as a free action.

- Flame Control
At 1st level, as a reaction to someone making a fire attack or spell against you, you may spend 5 Flame Points to absorb that fire. Then on your turn for 3 Flame Points, you may use that fire against them making an ignition attack against the creature dealing the amount of damage the attack/spell would have done, on a hit. You can also use this to summon Sputter.
- Flare
At 3rd level, you are now able to make another spirit named Flare. You are able to summon Flare with Sputter by spending an extra 3 Flame Points. You can have both Sputter and Flare active at the same time, but if you have Flare active you can only have one Sputter active. Sputter and Flare count as 1 spirit when calculating the amount you must spend each turn to keep them active. You can have either Sputter or Flare take a turn when you command them with a bonus action, but if you use your action you can command them to both take a turn.

At 7th level, you gain the ability to combine Sputter and Flare into one big spirit named Bobobo-Bo-Bobobo. While you have both Sputter and Flare active you can use your action to spend 10 Flame Points to combine the two spirits into one large spirit that you can command with a bonus action. You must spend 3 Flame Points at the end of each of your turns to keep it active. You can dismiss it as a bonus action, splitting them back up to Sputter and Flare. It is also automatically dismissed if you no longer have enough Flame Points to keep it active or you choose not to spend them.

- Iron Owls
At 11th level, you have come up with a new way to use your spirits. You can spend 25gp at a blacksmith to have them create an Iron Owl. You can command your spirits to enter one of your Iron Owls as a free action (cannot be Bobobo-Bo-Bobobo). Your fire spirits now count as medium and have a speed of 80ft. When your spirits make an attack they can instead deal 4d12 bludgeoning damage as long as it is in an Iron Owl. As an action, when two Iron Owls are within 10ft of each other and an enemy you may make an attack against the creature like normal but on hit they must make a Strength saving throw or become stunned. Your fire spirits now cost 2 points every time it is the end of your turn when inside the Iron Owls.
- Spirit Enhancement
At 11th level, your spirits have grown stronger than before from repeated usage. When you use Sputter, Flare, or Bobobo-Bo-Bobobo you use the below stat blocks for them instead of their normal stat blocks.

- Spirit Upgrade
At 15th level, you gain the ability to make your spirits even stronger temporarily during combat. When your fire spirits are not in an Iron Owl you may increase their damage dice by 1 for every 5 Flame Point you spend as a bonus action. This buff lasts for 1 minute. You may do this to a maximum amount of times equal to twice your Constitution modifier. They’re size also increases by 1 for every 10 Flame Points spent. Your Flame Control feature also gets stronger, now dealing twice the attack/spell’s damage but costing 8 Flame Points when absorbing it.
- Fire Storm
At 20th level, you can turn all of the flames nearby into one big flame tornado called a Fire Storm. As a full action for 50 Flame Points, you create a firestorm up to 60ft in front of you that is 25ft in length and width and 50ft in height that lasts for 5 minutes or until you dispel it as an action. Any creature that goes into the storm must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they take 10d12 fire damage and get launched 60ft into the air. On a success, they take half as much and don’t get launched. They must repeat this saving throw every time they start their turn in the Fire Storm. This area counts as difficult terrain for the duration, which also affects flying speeds.
Bullet Control[edit]
You have incredibly precise control over fire, allowing you to control the velocity and acceleration of bullets when you fire a gun along with controlling the ricochet of bullets.
Note: This subclass requires the use of firearms which can be found in the weapons page of this campaign setting. All of these features can also be used on bullets that other people fire within 30ft of you as well.

- Velocity Control
At 1st level, you are able to increase and decrease the power of the bullet when you fire, which also increases and decreases the range. When you shoot a firearm, you can spend an amount of Flame Points to a maximum of your Constitution modifier. For every Flame Point spent you increase the damage die of the attack by 1 or decrease the damage die tier by 1. Also, when increasing the damage, the range increases by 10ft for every Flame Point spent, and when decreasing the damage, the range decreases by 10ft for every Flame Point spent. Also, any attacks you make with a firearm can benefit from hand signs, the Adolla’s Grace feature, and the Adolla Burst feature.
- Ricochet Control
At 3rd level, you are able to control the ricochet of the bullets you fire. As a reaction to missing an attack with a firearm for 2 Flame Points, you can have the bullet bounce off a nearby surface and try to hit the target again. Reroll the attack with advantage but reducing the damage by your proficiency bonus for each bounce. You have an amount of reactions for this equal to your Constitution modifier. You can also use this for 2 Flame Points when shooting a firearm to attack someone around a corner or to gain advantage.
- Acceleration Control
At 7th level, your Velocity Control improves greatly. When using Velocity Control, you can now spend a maximum amount of Flame Points equal to your Constitution modifier added twice and the range increases/decreases by 20ft instead of 10ft.
- Trajectory Control
At 11th level, you have gained even more precise control over fire. You can now use Ricochet Control without bouncing off other surfaces, causing the damage to not be reduced. To do this you must spend an extra 6 Flame Points.
- Maximum Velocity
At 15th level, you can output a bullet’s acceleration to the max. When using Velocity Control, you can now spend a maximum amount of Flame Points equal to your Constitution modifier added thrice and the range increases/decreases by 30ft instead of 20ft.
- Velocity Rampage
At 20th level, you’re able to go even further beyond your limit by using other fire to fuel yours. If a bullet you fired passes through any source of fire created by a feature from the Pyrokinetic class, the bullet counts as if you had spent an extra amount of Flame Points equal to the amount spent to create the fire it passed through. If the fire was from a spell it does the same but adds Flame Points equal to the spell’s level. If the fire was created by some other class with a different point system, it applies as if it were a Pyrokinetic class feature. If the fire is just an average source of fire instead of some sort of magic property it adds 2 Flame Points for every source of fire it passes through or for every 5ft of fire it passes through. You can also now spend a maximum amount of Flame Points equal to your Constitution modifier added four times and the range increases/decreases by 40ft instead of 30ft.
Thermal Vision[edit]
Your pyrokinetic ability enhances your vision, allowing you to see thermal energy through clothes, walls, and anything else even allowing you to see nearly 360 degrees around you.

- Thermal Vision
At 1st level, your eyes allow you to see any sources of heat. You can see heat sources from 60ft away, you gain 60ft of blindsight, and whenever you make an attack roll with a ranged weapon, you can spend 1 Flame Point to gain advantage. You also gain advantage on Perception checks that involve sight, and you can add your Constitution modifier to your passive perception.
- Improved Vision

3rd Generation Ignition Abilities[edit]

- Flame Flight
At 1st level, you can expel flames from your feet granting you the ability to fly as a bonus action for 1 Flame Point. This grants you a flying speed equal to double your walking speed which lasts for 10 minutes and can be maintained by spending 1 Flame Point at the end of the 10 minutes to add an extra 5 minutes.
- Flame Kick
At 1st level, you can replace an unarmed strike to make a kick empowered by your flames for 3 Flame Points on a creature within 30ft of you. This attack deals bludgeoning damage equal to your martial arts damage and additional fire damage equal to 1d6 + your Constitution modifier. When you use the Tiger hand sign with this ability, it effects the fire damage only.
- Flame Boost
At 3rd level, as an action for 5 Flame Points, you can move up to four times your walking speed. You can also make an unarmed strike attack against a creature during this movement. This attack deals an extra 1d6 for every 5ft you have moved during this movement. After you make the attack the movement stops.
- Extra Hand Signs
At 7th level, you learn two new hand signs that, instead of enhancing your flames making them stronger, cause your flames to be expelled in a different manner. You gain the following 2 abilities. These abilities cannot be enhanced by hand signs until 20th level.
- Rapid: You tighten your flames making you much faster. You can use Flame Kick and spend an extra 5 Flame Points to make it a Rapid, increasing the range to 90ft and making the fire damage deal 2d6 + your Constitution modifier added twice.
- Corna: You cause a quick and powerful explosion at your feet while attacking. You use the Flame Kick and spend an extra 5 Flame Points to instead cause an explosion decreasing the range to 5ft and making the fire damage 3d8.
- Lightspeed Kick
At 11th level, when you make a Rapid attack empowered by the Adolla’s Grace feature or while under the effect of the Adolla Burst feature, you can spend an extra 8 Flame Points to go so fast that your cells deteriorate then travel back in time to a point before they deteriorated making you invisible. The fire damage increases by 4 damage die and adds your Constitution modifier thrice, but you have disadvantage on the attack roll. Creatures cannot take reactions to this attack or its movement. At 17th level, you no longer have disadvantage, but you do not have advantage.
- Improved Flame Flight
At 15th level, you’ve bettered your Flame Flight significantly. You can now use Flame Flight for free at will and now as a bonus action for 3 Flame Points you can make your flying speed quadruple your walking speed for 1 minute.
- Shinrabansho Man
Note: This is obviously far too powerful for dnd so ask your DM if you can have this. If you can’t then get the below feature which I made for this class specifically so that players don’t miss out on a whole feature simply because it’s too powerful. For this reason, I didn’t bother trying to balance Shinrabansho Man because even if I did it would still be far too powerful.
At 20th level, you have conquered the power of hope, essentially making you a god. For 30 Flame Points as an action, you can enter the Shinrabansho Man state, granting you several abilities. You have an infinite amount of Flame Points. Whenever you are attacked, targeted by a spell, or forced to make a saving throw you rewind time over and over until you succeed. You can take any spell directed towards you and use it to create something in the world such as an atmosphere, terrain, civilizations, and so on. You can also turn water such as tears or rain within 360ft into the souls of the dead. You can then return these souls reviving anybody that can be brought back via the wish spell as long as their soul hasn’t been completely erased. You can also strike the ground and cause plant life to grow.
- Mastered Devil's Footprint
At 20th level, you have fully mastered your ignition ability, allowing you to use it with its full potential. Your Flame Flight’s base speed is now triple your walking speed and when you use Improved Flame Flight you boost it to quintuple your walking speed. You can use Lightspeed Kick without the Adolla’s Grace or Adolla Burst features but when you do it costs double. When using your Improved Flame Kick, you can an extra 5 Flame Points to add your unarmed strikes damage twice.
Knight King[edit]
Your ability is powered by your wild imagination, whether in a good way or bad. You believe yourself to be a knight king and a slayer of dragons. (Feel free to change the knight king part to whatever you want. The premise is that it’s based on your imagination so have fun with it.)
A Knight King readying his mighty Excalibur for battle, source [8] |
- Excalibur
At 1st level, you carry the mighty Excalibur wherever you go which is a sword hilt made out of the legendary Orichalcum metal found in the regular department store that you use as a plasma blade to fight. As a free action for 1 Flame Point, you can summon plasma protruding from the hilt to form the blade of a longsword that deals 2d6 fire damage instead of its normal damage and it loses its versatile property. You can use a hand sign when you activate the sword causing that hand sign to effect the sword until you deactivate it. All features and attacks that use Excalibur requires Excalibur to be activated to use unless it says otherwise.

- Non-Self Nirvana
At 7th level, as a bonus action for 4 Flame Points, you can clear your thoughts completely and enter a state of Nirvana as your body seems to move on its own which lasts for 1 minute. While in this state your thoughts cannot be read, and you cannot be mind controlled in any way. You also have advantage on all attack rolls while enemies have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. The downside to this is that you must define your enemies before entering this state because those defined enemies are the only enemies you can attack, and you can only make simple attacks with Excalibur and Violet Flash attacks on said enemies. This feature does not require Excalibur to be activated but you can’t activate it once you enter the state, and you can’t make attacks without it activated while in this state.
- Improved Violet Flash
At 11th level, you have improved your Violet Flash attack making it quicker and stronger. You can now spend 10 Flame Points instead of 5 on a Violet Flash to make it the improved version. The improved version has a movement range of double your movement speed and it now deals your Excalibur damage + 3d8 + your Constitution modifier added twice fire damage.
- True Excalibur
At 15th level, you can pay a blacksmith (who’s willing to play along with your imagination) 100gp to make an Excalibur out of actual Orichalcum (that isn’t actually Orichalcum) that deals 2d12 fire damage that ignores resistances and immunities instead of 2d6 and you can activate it without using any type of action.
- The Violet Flash

- Violet Flash: Eight-Fold Strike: Whenever you make a Violet Flash attack you can spend an extra 15 Flame Points to make it a critical if it hits.
- Excalibur Beam: You can shoot a beam from your Excalibur when as you attack giving it a reach of 360ft.
- Magic Item Creator: You can turn mundane items into magic items by believing that they have magical properties. Talk to your DM about what items you could give certain effects and what the effects are. Only you can use the item with these effects.
- Steeled for Death: You can enter the True Press of Death state as a bonus action.
- Violet Flash: Earth Divider: As a full turn action, you make a Violet Flash attack spending 50 Flame Points to make the target make a DC 45 Dexterity saving throw taking 30d12 fire damage that bypasses immunities and resistances as you slash the world itself in half. You can only use this while in the True Press of Death state.

An Uncontrolled Flame Radiation user losing control while trapped inside a massive Infernal, source [12] |

For the duration, your unarmed strikes deal fire damage, add your Constitution modifier to all damage rolls, and add 5ft of range.

While you have these Catalysts activated you can replace an attack when you make the attack action to fire a laser from them for 6 Flame Points, targeting anything within 30ft of the Catalyst. You can only do this while you are within 120ft of them. Any Catalyst disappears when you are 240ft away from it, after 5 minutes, or you are knocked unconscious or die. Whenever you make an attack with one of these Laser Catalysts you make a ranged spell attack roll. On a hit, you deal your martial arts damage + your Constitution modifier added twice. You can move any amount of them up to your movement speed as a free action.

Your lasers now have a range of 120ft, you have advantage on attack rolls, you deal your martial arts damage die + your Constitution modifier added four times, and you can use your lasers within 240ft of them and they disappear at a range of 360ft, but the radiation now has a range of 60ft and deals your Constitution modifierd8 poison damage.
- Controlled Flame Radiation
At 20th level, you have overcome your mental instability enough to be able to control the radiation emitted from your Laser Catalysts. You can now choose the range of the radiation that each individual Laser Catalyst emits up to 240ft. For example, you could make one Catalyst emit radiation for 120ft, another for 30ft, and have another emit no radiation.

The Reaper[edit]
Your pyrokinetic ability allows you to create clouds of thick smoke from your right hand and turn them into weapons or any other object you may need.
A Reaper using his Smoke Weaponry, source [13] |
- Right Hand Eclipse
At 1st level, as a bonus action for 3 Flame Points, you can create black smoke in up to a 30ft radius sphere centered on yourself. This smoke lasts for 5 minutes, until you dispel it (no action required), you fall unconscious, or you die. For the duration, the area counts as heavily obscured for creature except you. You can move the smoke up to your movement speed as a free action. As a part of this movement, you can also change the shape of smoke cloud as long as the space totals up to the amount of space you originally created it (e.g. if you originally create a 30ft sphere of smoke you can make it a 20ft long and 10ft wide line).
- Smoke Weaponry
At 1st level, while in or within 5ft of your smoke cloud, as a bonus action, you can spend 2 Flame Points to grab some of the smoke and turn it into an amount of weapons up to your proficiency bonus. These weapons must be simple weapons, and they have the same properties as the weapons normally would, if it is a ranged weapon you make 1d4 pieces of ammunition for it when you make the weapon, 1d6 pieces of ammunition if you made 1 or more weapons along with it, and 1d8 + your Constitution modifier pieces of ammunition if that’s all you made that turn. Making ammunition doesn’t count towards the amount of weapons you can make when you make the ranged weapon they are for, but when making more ammunition for it counts towards the total. The weapon’s damage is your martial arts damage die instead of its normal damage and you add your Constitution modifier to all damage rolls as well as your normal modifier. You do not have a limit to the amount of weapons you can have active at a time, but they vanish with the smoke cloud. These weapons can gain the benefits of hand signs, the Adolla’s Grace feature, and the Adolla Burst feature.
- Smoke Armory
At 3rd level, you are capable of making more than small weapons. When using your Smoke Weaponry, you can summon a martial weapon instead of a simple weapon but this counts as 2 simple weapons and you gain half the ammunition when making it and when making the ranged weapon (minimum of 1). You can also now make armor and shields. Light armor, shields, and medium armor counts as 1 weapon while heavy armor counts as 2. Also, ammunition for simple weapons counts as half a weapon but ammunition for martial weapons count as 1 weapon.
- Improved Eclipse
At 7th level, your smoke improves greatly on all levels. Your smoke’s radius triples but it now costs 10 Flame Points, and the duration increases to 10 minutes.
