Fluff

'Description: 'See picture above. Phoenix does not, at first glance, appear to be a tiefling. In fact, there is little visible remaining evidence that she once was. The long hair and the hood Phoenix wears serve to hide the scarred stubs of her horns and her tail was sheared off at the tailbone. She now appears to be an attractive blond human woman in her mid-twenties, marred only by a vertical scar that leaves one eye a flat white.

Background: Phoenix's village was raided when she was little more than a girl. Rhagasts Raiders killed the men, raped the women, and stole what they wanted. When Phoenix - then called by another name that she no longer thinks of as applying to her - attempted to stop the raiders from taking her mother, Rhagast's men held her down while he sawed off her horns and tail and threw her into the burning remains of a building, leaving her to die as they dragged her mother off to an unknown fate.

The little girl and her girl's name died there, but the woman Phoenix rose from the ashes, saved by her race's natural resilience to fire, the essence of the flame drawn within. Revenge, too, smolders there, searching relentlessly for Rhagast and his band of murderers and brigands so that its full fury might be unleashed.

Hooks:

• Phoenix considers herself a hunter, hunting bandits and murders down and bringing them to fiery ends. She takes contracts and bounties to do so, but has been known to do so for free on occasion.
• Phoenix's name came to her in a vision while lying amidst the flames on the edge of death. Any other mentions of the mythical creature that is her totem and namesake draw her attention immediately.
• Phoenix is drawn to places of fire, be they natural or man-made. Volcanos, burning cities, forest fires, all draw her like a moth to a flame.

Kicker:

• Rhagast is still out there - fragments of rumor and whispered words of his black deeds reaching Phoenix's ear from time to time. Phoenix will not stop searching until she finds him, to find out what became of her mother and to make him pay for what he has done.

Comments by BenBrown

→ Comments by IronSky

• You can choose another language and third cantrip → Added Tsugo, already have Prestidigitation, Light, and Suggestion cantrips.
• You've got Swordmage Warding as a power, but have Heart of the Blade instead of Blade Initiate. Can't take both → Fixed.
• You should list the hellfire damage forced movement bonus on fear powers under feats, even though you've got no fear powers → Fixed.
• Bluff listed as +7 in statblock but +9 in math secton. → Fixed
• Endurance listed as +13 in statblock but +12 in math section → Fixed
• Intimidate listed as +5 in statblock but +9 in math section → Fixed
• +2 enhancement bonus to damage rolls from the implement does not apply to static damage from magic missile → It explicitly says to do so in magic missile's description.
• Burning Hands target should read "blast" not "burst" (trivial, but I noticed it) → Fixed
• Fire Shroud is listed as vs. Fort in the compendium. Is there something I'm missing? → I could have sworn it was Reflex. Maybe they just errata'd it? Fixed either way.
• Need to specify that the Magma Beast's attack is a standard action and is melee 1. → Fixed, even though I don't think she'll ever use it.
• Need to specify that the Hell Hound's attack is a standard action close blast 3 → Fixed, even though I don't think she'll ever use it.
• Also, you've got a bit of cutpasted text under Summon Hell Hound which refers to the Magma Beast → Fixed.
• Math on treasure doesn't quite work out. I show you with 1116 gold left. → Fixed

Comments by Dekana.

• The magma beast's attack does 5 ongoing fire and slow (save ends both).
• Fire Shield's damage is limited to once per turn per creature.
• The hell hound's intrinsic nature helps close and area attacks, not bursts and area attacks. Also, the 1d6 damage for attacking Phoenix doesn't include an INT bonus, and it's only for melee attacks that hit her.

Nothing too major. Approved by Dekana.
