Phoenix Stats?

[Thondor]

Has anyone come across any statistics for a Phoenix in 3.0/3.5?

I noticed that they have stats for it in OSRIC, and while I could rework it from there, I was wondering if its already been done.

Thanks.

There is an official version in the MMII. It's 3.0, but is convertable enough and has decent mechanics. It's good-aligned and very high-powered (CR 24).

 

[Theo R Cwithin]

This 3.0 phoenix is a CR 19 good-aligned outsider.

It the one over at the Creature Catalog that they converted before MMII was released, then retired to their Creature Crypt when the official WOTC version came out.

Haven't seen a 3.5 one though.

—​

The phoenix, or firebird, is a creature of tremendous power​

and potent omen. Many intelligent races look upon it as a​

god, or at least as a god’s messenger.​

measures between 10 and 15 feet from beak to tail, but its​

wingspan can be as wide as 40 feet. By far its most striking

feature, however, is its plumage. All of its feathers are the

colors of fire—primarily scarlet, crimson, and orange. In
flight or at rest, a phoenix looks like a bird made of flame.
When a phoenix reaches the end of its natural life, or
when it finds itself in an extreme, life-threatening situation,
it immolates itself with intense fire. After its death,
a new phoenix arises from the ashes.
Because of its traditional association
with renewal and rebirth,
most cultures ascribe some
symbolic meaning to the
sighting of a phoenix. Some
consider it a positive omen—
a sign of the gods’ favor and a
promise of renewed life and
increased prosperity in
the coming years. Others
(usually those with a
darker outlook on life) see
the firebird as a sign of
approaching death and
destruction—an ordeal
that only the strongest
will survive. Whatever
meaning a particular culture
associates with this creature,
there’s no doubt that it is
on the side of good. A phoenix doesn’t
involve itself in worldly affairs or join
in mundane conflicts, but neither does
it shy away from attacking evil.​

​

​

​

COMBAT

In battle, a phoenix usually begins by shrieking to soften up

its enemies before joining melee with its claws and beak. It
has no fear of fighting to the death, since its immolation
ability ensures its later rebirth.
Shriek (Ex): ​

Once per minute, a phoenix can utter a war​

shriek that forces every opponent within 30 feet to succeed​

at a Will save (DC 22) or be slowed (as the ​

​

​

slow spell) for 1​

round. This is a sonic, mind-affecting effect.​

​

​

Spell-Like Abilities: ​

Always active—detect evil, detect magic,​

protection from evil; ​

​

​

at will—blindness, blink, blur, color spray, cure​

light wounds, dancing lights, find the path, find traps, fire seeds ​

​

​

(using​

drops of its own blood rather than holly berries as a material​

component; no acorn grenades), ​

​

​

heal, invisibility, misdirection,​

negative energy protection, neutralize poison, polymorph self, produce​

flame, remove fear, remove curse, see invisibility; ​

​

​

1/day incendiary​

cloud, reincarnate, pyrotechnics, summon nature’s ally IX, veil, wall​

of fire. ​

​

​

Caster level 20th; save DC 15 + spell level.​

After 10 rounds of ritual and preparation—​

​

​

dismissal, dispel​

evil, dispel magic. ​

​

​

Caster level 40th; save DC 15 + spell level.​

Defensive Aura ​

(Sp): A phoenix has a +5 deflection bonus​

to Armor Class. This ability is always in effect.​

​

​

Immolation (Su): ​

When it knows that death is near, a​

phoenix immolates itself as a full-round action. This produces​

a cloud of flame in a 20-foot-high, 15-foot-radius

spread. Each creature in the area takes 40d6 points of

damage (Reflex DC 22 half ). Half of this damage is fire;
the rest results directly from divine power and is therefore
not subject to reduction by ​

​

​

protection from elements (fire), fire​

shield (chill shield), ​

​

​

or similar​

magic. This action kills the​

original phoenix and produces

a new one, fully

grown and unharmed,
from the ashes. This new
bird arrives at the end of
the round.​

​

​

Planar Travel (Su): ​

A​

phoenix can enter and​

exit the Astral Plane or

the Ethereal Plane at will

and navigate through
these planes without error
or risk.​

​

​

Spell-Like Metamagic​

(Ex): ​

A phoenix can apply​

any one of its metamagic​

feats (Empower Spell, Enlarge

Spell, Extend Spell,

Heighten Spell, Maximize
Spell) to a spell-like ability
by using that ability as a fullround
action.​

​

​

Telepathy (Su): ​

A phoenix can​

communicate telepathically with any​

nonavian creature within 60 feet. It can

also speak normally with any avians.​

​

​

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): ​

A phoenix retains its Dexterity​

bonus to AC even when flat-footed, and it cannot be​

flanked. Even if it fails a Spot check, it still knows that something

is in the area; it merely lacks any details as to its exact​

location or description.

Thanks folks.

The whole being reborn intantly is a little weird to me. Personally I like the egg approach in OSRIC, seems more mythically accurate . . . and more intriguing.

I wonder if reappearing as a new creature is part of the CR rating?

 

[Ahnehnois]

The MMIII has something called a phoelarch (a humanoid) and a phoera (its bird mount), which create an egg that hatches 24 hrs later if they die. These are also lower in power and they might be of interest, depending on what you are looking for.

Here are the updated Phoenix stats from the Accessory Update on WotC's site. [This isn't the errata but the update to 3.5 a free product in the Archives]

Phoenix : Magical Beast; 10 ft./5 ft.; DR 15/magic & cold iron; Concentration +25, Diplomacy +28, Knowledge (arcana) +27, Knowledge (history) +27, Spellcraft +29, Spot +26; Empower Spell, Enlarge Spell, Extend Spell, Flyby Attack, Heighten Spell, Improved Critical (claw), Improved Initiative (B), Iron Will (B), Maximize Spell; LA —; Spell-Like Abilities: replace negative energy protection with death ward. Defensive Aura: Change to supernatural rather than spell-like. Improved uncanny dodge.

I think Creature Collection III has a bunch of 3.5 phoenixes as well. Can't remember their CR off the top of my head.

The Phoera is not the mount of a Phoelarch.

When a Phoelarch dies, it is reborn as a Phoera. when a Phoera dies, it is reborn as a Phoelarch. They are alternating life stages of the same creature.

This enigmatic bird of fire seems to burn brighter then the sun. As it aproaches, you feel your skin starting to blister from the immense heat.

Fiery aura (ex): Anyone within 120ft of the phoenix must succeed on a DC19 fortitude save each round or take 2d6 fire damage.
Fiery touch (ex): Whenever a phoenix uses a natural weapon or an enemy hits the phoenix with a natural weapon, the phoenix deals 2d6 damage to the enemy.
Immortality (ex): When a Phoenix reaches 0 or less hp it burns up into ashes. 1d4 days later a new phoenix rises from these ashes unless a special ritual is preformed, however the specifics of this ritual have long been forgotten.
Spellcasting: A phoenix casts spells like a lvl 7 sorcerer. It can cast only spells with the Fire descriptor.
