The ability affects only the blink dog, which never appears within a solid object and can act immediately after teleporting.Breath Weapon (Su): Every 1d4 rounds, Blaze can breathe fire in a column 10 ft high, 10 feet wide, and 20 feet long. The flame deals 6d6 points of damage, with a reflex save (DC 14) for half damage.Fire Subtype: Immune to Fire Damage, takes a –10 penalty on saves vs. cold attacks, and if there is no save, takes double damage instead.The Band of the Broken Blade had seen some hard times, but the hardest was when Varin Foxring, the halfling paladin of pelor, and his mount Blaze were immolated by the eternal blaze of the fire elemental Pryxis in a twisted form of cremation, Pelor's preferred method of burial. The Band defeated Pryxis, but when they searched for Varin and Blazes bodies in the wake of the combat, they found only ashes.Mourning, they journeyed to the Greyhawk City, and the Grand Temple of Pelor, in hopes that Varin and Blaze could be ressurected. After the Band donated an appropriate sum of money, the High Priest agreed to the ressurection. The ashes were brought forth, and placed upon the center alter.The High Priest stood over the alter and began humming "The Praises of Pelor." Around him, the rest of the clergy joined in, as did the Band of the Broken Blade, who were kneeling on the floor just below. To a packed room of worshipers, the ritual began.The clouds parted above the open roofed temple, and heavenly light shone down on the alter. Suddenly, a beam of pure brightness scattered the ashes of Varin and Blaze. They hung shining in the air, scintilating motes of light. In a graceful dance of light and motion, the motes spiralled down towards the alter, reforming as a single, blindingly bright being. In the afterlife, the souls of Varin and Blaze traveled side by side towards the shining gates of Celestia, but their movements were suddenly halted as Naryel, the Arch-Angel of Light herself, blocked thier path.RETURN TO YOUR MORTAL BODY, CHILD. YOU STILL HAVE WORK TO DO ON YOUR PLANE. PELOR LOVES YOU, AS HE LOVES ALL HIS CHILDREN. IN YOU, HE SEES HOPE, AND STRENGTH, AND CARING. AND SUCH THINGS SHOULD NOT FADE FROM THE WORLD. RETURN TO YOURSELF, FOR MUCH MUST HAPPEN BEFORE THE SHADOWS FALL TO THE LIGHT. I WILL WATCH OVER YOU, CHILD, AS I ALWAYS HAVE.Varin and Blaze looked at each other, and, smiling faintly, the faded from the afterlife.In the High Temple, the bright being solidified, the liquid shape of light and holy power hardening. The light faded, and what remained could truly be called a miracle.Blaze, Varin's mount, sat radiant on the alter. But he was different. From his neck sprouted two canine heads. They did not add any sort of deformity to the blink dog's sleek body, but instead fit gracefully with the natural curves of his form. The Band of the Broken Blade cried out in unision, for they had expected a paladin and a one headed blind dog, not a a double craniumed monster. It was then that Blaze spoke, the soft words of Celestial rolling of both his tongues with grace.He spoke of the afterlife, and after questioning from the High Priest, it was determined that Pelor had blessed Varin and Blaze, kindred spirits, with a single, increadible body. They both shared the body, and had been granted with the power to breath holy fire in a great cone, a useful asset for a combat-heavy party.Varin had lost the holy powers granted to Paladins of Pelor, but he was quite sure that given time, he could regain them. The Band was joyous, and to this day, Blaze continues to fight evil with them, although he sometimes quests on his own.Combat:Blaze fights with typical paladin gusto, but is still intelligent enough to use his blink and dimension door abilities to keep the upper hand. He will use his breath weapon as much as he is able, but will never endanger a friend with it.</blockquote>
