[QUOTE="kirinke, post: 2465115, member: 15409"] SpellFire Persons gifted with the spellfire ability can do amazing things dependent upon their skill, talent and the amount of magical energy they hvae within them at the time. In general spellfire can be used to heal, create blasts of destructive fire or absorb magical effects it contacts, altho the exact effets vary by circumstance and user. Talented weilders can release multiple blasts at once or even fly using this ability. A spell fire wielder can ready an action to absorb spells targeted at her as if she were a rod of absorption. She gets on level of spell fire energy for every spell level absorbed and can a number of spell fire energy levels equal to her constitition score. As a standard action, she may expend these spell fire energy levels as a range touch attack (max range 400 feet) dealing 1d6 points of spell fire damage per level expended (reflex half DC 20). Spell fire damage is half fire damage and half raw magical power, just like the damage of a flame strike spell is half fire and half divine energy. Creatures with immunity, resistance or protection against fire apply these effects to half the damage. A spellfire weilder can also heal a target by touch, restoring 2 hit points per spell fire energy level expended for this purpose. Unlike most supernatural abilities, spellfire is affected by spells and magic items that affect spell-like abilities, such as a rod of absorption or a rod of negation (if pointed at the manifestation rather than the wielder). It can be thwarted or countersplled by dispel magic and theoretically a spellfire wielder could counterspell another's spellfire. However spellfire is a supernatural ability and does not provoke an attack of opportunity when used, nor is it subject to spell resistance. Ok. Could somebody explain spellfire energy level? And why is this ability constitution based rather than Intelligence or even Wisdom based? That seems to be a screw up since we are dealing with a magical effect. And when they say equal to constitition score, do they mean the modifier or the actual constitution level? [/QUOTE]
