Special Abilities

Ash Consumption (Su) When a creature within 30 feet takes
fire damage, a pyric wraith regains a number of Hit Points
equal to the damage the creature took, up to a maximum
equal to the wraith’s CR per round.


Illuminated (Su) Light within 10 feet of a pyric wraith
increases by two steps. Light for 10 more feet beyond that
increases by one step. Magical darkness decreases this light
only if from a source with a CR or level higher than the
wraith’s CR.


Pyric Fire (Su) The fire damage of a pyric wraith burns body
and spirit, ignoring fire resistance and dealing half damage
even to creatures with fire immunity. A creature burning
due to this fire can gain no bonuses to end that condition. A
creature that dies due to pyric fire damage becomes a
pyric revenant 1d4 hours later.


Pyric Ray (Su) A pyric wraith can launch a ray of
pyric fire with a range increment of 30 feet and a
maximum range of 150 feet.

Description

Over centuries, pyric fire consumes a pyric revenant’s flesh, leaving behind an apparition of ash and embers. This pyric wraith is made of swirling cinders rippling around a heart of brighter flame. The smell of ash and smoke often precedes a pyric wraith.

A pyric wraith retains only a desire to burn living things and consume the energy released. These beings rarely make full use of their incorporeality. Overwhelming malice compels them to kill without stealth, inspiring horror as they do so. Further, pyric wraiths hate passing through the darkness within objects.
