Ash elementals hail from the quasi-elemental plane of Ash, where the elemental plane of Fire borders on the Negative Material plane. Ash elementals appear as soft, blurred, grayish humanoids. They are pretty subdued, bordering on despondent, and not very aggressive -- when attacked, they will defend themselves, but are too lethargic to pursue. When slain they fall into piles of ash.
Ash elementals speak Ignan.
Combat:
Ash elementals strike opponents with their ashen fists, leaving dark stains everywhere. Ash elementals are afraid of fire, and will not voluntarily approach sources of flame or heat.
Chill touch (Su): The touch of an ash elemental drains heat. Any creature struck by a slam attack also takes the damage listed below (Fortitude save for half; see table below). Constructs, undead, and other inorganic creatures are immune to this chill effect, as are creatures immune to level drains and negative energy.
Choke (Ex): If an ash elemental successfully grapples another creature, it can clog its airways with choking ashes as a standard action. Each round the hold is maintained, the victim must make a Fortitude save (see table below) or take 1d4 points of damage from coughing and choking on ash. Creatures that don't need to breathe are immune to this attack.
Blinding flurry (Ex): Three times per day, as a standard action, an ash elemental can shower the immediate area with flakes of ash. All creatures in a radius of 10 feet per size category must make a Reflex save (see table below) or be blinded for 2d4 rounds. They must also make another Reflex save (same DC) or choke on some of the ashes, suffering a -2 morale penalty to attack and damage rolls for 2d4 rounds as they choke out the noxious ashes.
Ash Elemental Sizes
Elemental Height Weight Chill Damage Save DC Radius
Small 4 ft. 10 lb. 1d4 12 10 ft.
Medium 8 ft. 90 lb. 1d6 15 20 ft.
Large 16 ft. 750 lb. 1d8 19 30 ft.
Huge 32 ft. 6,000 lb. 2d6 25 40 ft.
Greater 36 ft. 6,750 lb. 4d4 28 50 ft.
Elder 40 ft. 7,500 lb. 4d6 31 60 ft.
Cold subtype: Ash elementals are immune to cold, and take double damage from heat-based attacks , unless they make a Fortitude save, in which case they take normal damage.
Immunities: Immune to negative energy attacks.
This is the third negative quasielemental -- Ash. Any comments?
