''You encounter a creature with a mild resemblance to a duck. Upon spotting you, it grumpily snorts, and the air around it starts shimmering with extreme heat.''
[[Summary::Magmar is a birdlike lava creature with a penchant for spraying flames from its mouth.]]
=== Combat ===
'''{{Anchor|Egg Move}}:''' The Egg move Magmar had as a [[Magby (3.5e Monster)|Magby]] is improved:
*''{{Anchor|Cross Chop}} ([[Ex]]):'' When making a slam attack, Magmar may elect to take a penalty on its attack roll up to its Base Attack Bonus. If it does, it may only make one slam attack for any attack action on its turn (thus, it only makes one slam if making a full attack), but its slam attack's threat range is increased by 1 per point of penalty (for instance, taking a −5 penalty increases the threat range from 20 only to 14-20). The penalty taken to use Cross Chop is not applied to a roll made to confirm a critical hit. Cross Chop also adds 1d6 to its slam attack's damage per point of penalty taken, and these extra damage die ''are'' multiplied by a critical hit. Cross Chop stacks with [[SRD:Power Attack|Power Attack]], should Magmar later choose to take it, and Power Attack combines perfectly with Cross Chop; this means that the attack roll penalty taken with Cross Chop is also applied to Power Attack, with no additional penalty needing to be taken, and this allows Power Attack to be used with a penalty and bonus greater than +5. Cross Chop cannot be used in conjunction with some of Magmar's other attack options, including [[#Fire Punch|Fire Punch]]. The attack penalty taken with Cross Chop applies to all slam attacks made until the end of the round. Cross Chop is a [Fighting] effect.
*''{{Anchor|Flare Blitz}} ([[Su]]):'' As a Swift action, Magmar may cast ''[[SRD:Fire Shield|fire shield]]''. It may then dispel the effect by making a melee attack, dealing 1d6 extra Fire damage per HD and setting the opponent on fire for 2d6 fire damage per round. Doing this deals 1d6 damage per 4 HD to Magmar (minimum 1d6 at 4 HD or less). This may be cast once per 5 rounds. This is a [Fire] effect. In a Contest, using this automatically gains a fantastic success, gaining 2 points and raising the DC, but Magmar takes a -4 penalty on the following turn.
*''{{Anchor|Mach Punch}} ([[Ex]]):'' Magmar may make a slam attack as an immediate action; however, it takes a −2 penalty on the damage roll. Mach Punch cannot be used in conjunction with [[#Fire Punch|Fire Punch]]. This is a [Fighting] effect.
'''''{{Anchor|Smog}}'' ([[Sp]]):''' Magmar can cast ''smog'' as a spell-like ability three times per encounter (DC 18, Charisma-based). ''Smog'' is identical to [[SRD:Stinking Cloud|''stinking cloud'']], except that it [[SRD:Poison|poisons]] creatures instead of [[SRD:Nauseated|nauseating ]]them. All creatures within the ''smog'' cloud take 2 points of damage per caster level per round, and during each round that they remain, they must succeed on a [[Fortitude ]] save or suffer 2 points of [[Constitution ]] [[SRD:Ability Damaged|damage]], then suffer 2 more points of Constitution damage every 2 rounds thereafter until the end of the encounter. Success on a primary save prevents secondary damage from being incurred, with no further saves needed (assuming that the creature in question leaves ''smog''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s area of effect before another round of primary damage is potentially incurred). Failure on even one primary save allows secondary damage to occur until the effect is lifted (by magic or by the encounter ending). Secondary Constitution damage can be prevented by a successful Fortitude save against the same DC as the initial one, but each round of secondary damage requires a new save to prevent (success on a secondary save does not end the effect). Hit point damage caused by ''smog'' is not affected by victims' saving throws. Constitution damage can be incurred once per round of exposure, but secondary Constitution damage does not stack, even if the primary Fortitude save is failed several times. Both the hit point damage and Constitution damage are considered poison effects, so all bonuses and penalties to saves against poison (such as a [[SRD:Dwarf|dwarf]]'s racial bonus) are applicable to ''smog'', and creatures with immunity to poison are unaffected regardless of how poor their Fortitude saves are (and poison-immune creatures don't take hit point damage either). The Constitution damage can be stopped by [[SRD:Neutralize Poison|''neutralize poison'']] or any other effect capable of curing a poison before it inflicts its secondary damage. [[SRD:Delay Poison|''delay poison'']] does not end the effect of ''smog'' outright, but it does grant affected creatures temporary poison immunity with respect to ''smog'', and creatures that are already poisoned do not take secondary Constitution damage for as long as ''delay poison''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s effects last. Magmar's caster level for ''smog'' is equal to its Hit Die (caster level 10th for the sample Magmar). ''Smog'' is treated as a 3rd-level spell, and is a [Poison] effect.
'''{{Anchor|Leer}} ([[Su]]):''' As a standard action, Magmar may attempt to unsettle opponents and make them open up their guard a bit. Its menacing stare affects all targets within a 30-foot cone that meet Magmar's gaze, forcing them to succeed on a Will save (DC 17, Wisdom-based) or gain [[Damage Susceptibility (3.5e Creature Ability)|damage susceptibility]] 2/physical for 5 rounds. This is treated as a gaze attack, and thus can be avoided in any of the same ways that a gaze attack can be, but it is not continuously active; Magmar has to consciously ''choose'' to use it. (It's just like a [[SRD:Vampire|vampire]]'s [[SRD:Vampire#Dominating Gaze|dominating gaze]] in that respect.) Leer is a [Fear, Mind-Affecting] effect, with all of the capabilities and limitations that are implied by said descriptors (in other words, Magmar's wasting its time by trying to use Leer on a mindless creature or a [[SRD:Paladin|paladin]]).
