[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9466333, member: 57383"] Come to think of it, will we be using 5 ft. for the range like a Salamander or make it 10 ft. because this firelord's a big lad? Did a bit of tweaking to get the following: [INDENT] [I][B]Body of Smokeless Flame #2.[/B][/I] A creature that touches the efreeti firelord or hits it with a melee attack while within [color=magenta]5 or 10[/color] feet of it takes 9 (2d8) fire damage. In addition, whenever a creature or object ends its turn within [color=magenta]5 or 10[/color] feet of the firelord, that target takes 9 (2d8) fire damage and ignites. A burning target takes 5 (1d10) fire damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature can use an action to douse the fire, ending the effect. [/INDENT] EDIT: a [b][url=";https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/balor'"]Balor Demon[/url][/b] is also Huge and its Fire Aura also has a 5 foot effect so I'm OK leaving it at 5 feet and it does make Reach weapons useful for the firelord's Medium sized opponents. [indent] [i][b]Fire Aura.[/b][/i] At the start of each of the balor's turns, each creature within 5 feet of it takes 10 (3d6) fire damage, and flammable objects in the aura that aren't being worn or carried ignite. A creature that touches the balor or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 10 (3d6) fire damage. [/indent] Hmm… Actually, perhaps we should use some of that ability's wording for the Firelord… [indent] [I][B]Body of Smokeless Flame #3.[/B][/I] At the start of each of the efreeti firelord's turns, each creature within 5 feet of it takes 9 (2d8) fire damage, and flammable objects within that distance that aren't being worn or carried ignite. A creature or flammable object that touches the firelord or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 9 (2d8) fire damage and catches fire; until someone takes an action to douse the fire, the target takes 5 (1d10) fire damage at the start of each of its turns. [/indent] I like the "catches fire; until someone takes an action to douse the fire, the target takes 5 (1d10) fire damage at the start of each of its turns" wording over the previous "" as it's clunkier, so I'll revise #2 to: [indent] [I][B]Body of Smokeless Flame #2a.[/B][/I] A creature or flammable object that touches the efreeti firelord or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 9 (2d8) fire damage. In addition, whenever a creature or flammable object ends its turn within 5 feet of the firelord, that target takes 9 (2d8) fire damage and catches fire; until someone takes an action to douse the fire, the target takes 5 (1d10) fire damage at the start of each of its turns. [/indent] Of the above I like [i][b]#2a[/b][/i] the best so far. [/QUOTE]
