He takes an extra turn right after then turn of the creature who bloodied him, then resumes his normal place in the initiative order. He remains in blazing star form for until the end of the encounter.-------------------------------------------------------------------------Tactics:Begins with earth chains, pulling enemies into his blazing aura and melee attack range; repeat every round, when necessary. He blasts nearby enemies with dominion of flames while they have no resistance, then uses another minor action to tail smash. He continues with claw and tail smash attacks, plus dominion of flames when available, until bloodied. Once in blazing star form, he uses his extra turn to destroy a badly damaged enemy.Notes:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">There's several mentions to something called "blazing action", but I don't see it anywhere.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In the stat block, the bloodied line references something called "volcanic reaction"; presumably, volcanic retort was meant.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">"Immune: attacks by characters below level 20"; wow, cool! Although, they shouldn't be fighting this guy anyway. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tactics seem to suggest that Rorn doesn't mind taking on whole groups of enemies simultaneously.</li> </ul>[/sblock]There he is; you can tell me what his role is, now. (There's about three and a half more pages of details about this guy and his servants in the FRCG; he'd make a cool superboss in any campaign, so if you really like this monster, I suggest you buy the book.)(Note: If this statblock is a problem, I will remove it on request. I tried to paraphrase as much as possible and leave out details that weren't directly relevant to the discussion, so as not to infringe upon any IP rights. However, if this isn't good enough, so be it.)</blockquote>
