A fire shaper is a sphere of intelligent
fire that can shape its own form to give itself different abilities and better combat power.
In its natural form a fire shaper looks like a sphere of fire as large as a
human being. It is rarely encounterd in this form as it often only stays in it
while it sleeps. It is semi solid unlike
real fire and if in a area filled with grass or trees it will often accidently start a fire.
Its other forms are self explanatory in terms of looks. When it’s a bird is
appears as a bird about as large as an eagle made entirely of fire. It uses this
form for travel. When it’s a dragon it becomes more solid and looks like a
dragon larger then a human or orc made of fire. When it is as a sword it
looks like a greatsword with flames dancing on the blade. It will often hide in that form letting other creatures
employ it until the time is right to strike.
Fire shapers speak ignan and common.
Combat:
In combat a fire shaper prefers to fight as a dragon staying in the air and
making fly by attacks and breathing its breath weapon. If severly injured it will
often change into a bird and fly away.
