They are adept at using torches as  weapons, typically in their off hand, while using a sword or standard  weapon in their main hand. Pyros use their pyrotechnic alchemy skills to  enhance their torch attacks, setting foes ablaze! They are often  explorers and treasure hunters whose travels lead them into dangerous  tombs, dark ruins or underground caves and corridors. As light sources  are a necessity to explore such places, pyros have learned to use  torches not only to illuminate the way but also as weapons. Evil pyros  tend to be arsonists whose depredations terrorize the community. Such  heinous criminals are highly wanted men.   Role: Like rogues, pyros are highly skilled and versatile and tend to  avoid lone hand-to-hand combat. Though they don’t possess the rogue’s  ability to strike vital areas or disarm traps, they excel at using their  torches as unexpected and dangerous weapons, often catching  unsuspecting foes off-guard. Their scouting abilities and broad set of  skills also makes them handy to have around in just about any situation.  The pyro class comes with exciting and customizable abilities  ensuring no two pyros are alike. These include numerous special  insidious torch attacks such as blinding strikes and distracting attacks  and the creation of torches fueled by dangerous and volatile alchemical  mixtures which allow them to produce pyrotechnic effects and even spit  fire or immolate opponents! Examples include: blazing torch, sparking  torch, smoking torch, witchlight torch, dancing torch, and thundering  torch. Pyros can also select from a bevy of rogue-like talents, many  focused on, you guessed it, fire!  Burn, baby, burn!  Sample Pyro: "Angus the Red"  Pyro 10; Medium human; HD (10d8+10); hp 76; Init +7; Spd 40 ft.; AC  20 (+4 Dex, +6 armor), touch 14, flat-footed 16, BAB +7/+2; CMB +9, CMD  22; Atk: +12/+7 melee (1d6+5, 19-20/x2, cold iron shortsword +2, main  hand); +6 melee (1d4+1 plus 3 points of fire damage, 20/x2, torch,  off-hand), +13 ranged (1d8+2, 19-20/x2, light crossbow +2);  SA: Torch Attack (+2 competence bonus to hit flanked opponents and  those denied Dexterity bonus to AC, ignite on 17-20, 1d4+4 ignited  damage plus immolation, Reflex DC 17 to extinguish), Catch Off- Guard,  Fire Expert, Pyro Talents: Torch and Steel (Two- Weapon Fighting feat),  Finesse (Weapon Finesse feat), Combat Trick (Spring Attack), Igniter,  Additional Special Torch Attack; Torch Light Adaptation, Special Torch  Attacks (create 7 special torches per day): Blazing Torch, Sparking  Torch (5 ft. radius, 5d4 fire, Reflex DC 22 for half), Blinding Torch  Strike (Reflex DC 20 negates), Fire Breather (15ft. cone, 5d6 fire,  Reflex DC 24 for half), Immolation; Evasion, Improved Uncanny Dodge; AL:  CN; SV Fort +8, Ref +11 (+12 vs. fire), Will +4; STR 16, DEX 19, CON  12, INT 14, WIS 12, CHA 10.  Skills: Acrobatics +11, Bluff +10, Climb +11, Craft (alchemy) +13,  Escape Artist +10, Intimidate +12, Knowledge (arcana) +5, Knowledge  (dungeoneering) +8, Knowledge (geography) +5, Knowledge (local) +6,  Perception +10, Ride +10, Sense Motive +8, Stealth +12, Use Magic Device  +10.  Feats: Armor Proficiency (Light), Catch Off-Guard, Combat Reflexes,  Dodge, Improved Initiative, Mobility, Spring Attack,Two-Weapon Fighting,  Weapon Focus (short sword), Weapon Finesse (short sword), Weapon  Proficiency (Simple Weapons -- includes torch), Weapon Proficiency  (short sword).  Possessions: chain shirt +2, cold iron shortsword +2, boots of  striding and springing, light crossbow +2, (12) bolts, (12) torches, (3)  alchemist's fire, (2) flasks of oil, (3) thunderstones</blockquote>
