Special Abilities

Elemental Fire (Su) Salamanders can cause any weapon they wield to deal half its damage as fire damage, and to become lethal and non-archaic. If the weapon already deals two damage types, this effect replaces one with fire. In addition, salamanders can grant weapons they wield the burn critical hit effect (1d4, 2d4 at CR 6, 3d4 at CR 11, and 3d4 at CR 16+). If the weapon has any other critical hit effects, the salamander chooses only one to apply on a critical hit.

Description

A warlike and tech-minded species native to the Plane of Fire, salamanders dwell in fortresses along the coasts of that plane. Other creatures, such as efreet, prize them as crafters and warriors. Mercenary salamanders find work across the planes. Mortal mages call salamanders to the Material Plane for their services. The creatures can also slip into the Material Plane where fire or heat is prevalent. A few geothermic or hothouse worlds have small salamander colonies.
