Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 5042551" data-attributes="member: 57383">I'd be happy with a 1/day 5 foot burst that only affects creatures wounded by the spikes.Shall we keep the 3d4 fire damage per round over three rounds, with a save each round to negate? I'm tempted to make the damage reduce each round (3d4/2d4/1d4) so we have a primary/secondary duration like with flaming oil attacks.What saves shall we use? There are arguments for Reflex (to avoid the initial spray or snuff the resulting fire) or Fort to shake off the "fiery blood infection". I'm thinking Reflex to avoid the initial effects, then Fort for subsequent rounds.Something like:Burning Blood (Su): Once per day a spike skeleton can add a spray of burning blood to a spike burst special attack. In addition to the spike burst's normal effects, all creatures within the 5 ft. burst area of effect that is damaged by a spike skeleton's spikes must make a DC Reflex save or their wounds will burst into flames. Creatures wounded by earlier spike burst or spike melee attacks are also affected, as are creatures wounded by the spikes of another spike skeleton. Any creature without blood or a blood-like fluid such as ichor is unaffected by the burning blood. A creature affected by burning blood takes 3d4 fire damage in the first round. It must then succeed at a DC X Fort save or take an additional 2d4 fire damage in the second round, if it fails it must then succeed at a second DC X Fort save or take an additional 1d4 fire damage in the third round. The save DCs are Charisma-based. </blockquote>
