They feed off heat, so are attracted to anything warm, but are also vulnerable to fire and risk destruction if they encounter anything too hot for them to handle. It is said that the most powerful, intelligent ash quasi-elementals meet in council in a cinder-fortress called the Citadel of Former Flame, where they plot elaborate schemes to indirectly slay fire elemental creatures, with the eventual aim of reducing the Fire plane to cold ashes. An ash quasi-elemental has the same height and weight as a water elemental of the same size. [SIZE=3][B]COMBAT[/B][/SIZE] This monster rarely initiates combat, trusting their chilling aura to protect them. If threatened, they focus chilling blasts on their opponents or close to make slam attacks. [B]Chilling Aura (Su):[/B] An ash quasi-elemental radiates an aura of cold energy that does cold damage every round to all targets within range. This aura extinguishes mundane fires up to the size category indicated in the table below. For further information on fire sizes, see the [I]control flames[/I] psionic power.

This blast extinguishes mundane fires extinguishes mundane fires up to the size category indicated in the table below.
