the Jester
Legend
So a while back the pcs imc destroyed Imix, the Elemental Prince of Fire. This has set off a cascade of consequences the party is not yet aware of; one of which has been my creation of this epic monster.
Is it epic enough? Does it rate as a CR 21?

Challenge Rating: 21
Treasure: Standard
Alignment: Often neutral evil
Advancement: By character class
Level Adjustment:-
Some sort of living flame stands before you. Though its form flickers and dances, it maintains recognizable features, looking similar to a human or elf made of fire.
Crimsonkindl are a powerful, war-like race of fire elementals from a place called the Crimson Garden on the Elemental Plane of Fire. It is said that the Crimson Garden contains a powerful artifact called the Crimson Bask crafted ages ago by the very first Archomental of Fire. Those elementals born in its radiance are much stronger than their common kin, both in mind and in body. With the recent destruction of Imix in the Temple of Elemental Evil, the crimsonkindl are queuing up to try to replace him.
Combat
Crimsonkindl are capable of a wide variety of different combat forms. Against prime opponents, they will typically open combat with their spell-like abilities. They like to divide the battlefield and are very effective at doing so with their wall of fire ability.
Command Fire Elementals (Su): 6/day a crimsonkindl can attempt to gain control over fire elementals in its vicinity. This works just as if the crimsonkindl was a cleric turning undead, except it affects only elementals with the fire subtype and affected elementals are commanded (just like undead commanded by an evil cleric).
Spell-Like Abilities: At will- fireball, fire trap, flame jump, invisibility, pyrotechnics, see invisibility, wall of fire; 3/day- detect thoughts, displacement, fire storm, fly, haste, meteor swarm, persistent image; caster level 24th; save DCs 15 + spell level.
Weapon-Like Attacks: The crimsonkindl’s natural attacks should be treated as manufactured weapons for purposes such as iterative attacks and as both natural and manufactured weapons for purposes of what spells they may be subject to.
Skills: Crimsonkindl get a +10 racial bonus on Balance, Climb and Jump checks.
