Soulseared

You dare defy me? Then your entire kingdom will burn!

Fire has a long history of use as a tool and weapon of war, against warrior, fortress, craftsman, and field alike. Many warriors, having been on both sides of fire, gain a strange attraction to it. Having been scarred by it, they seek to inflict it against others in vengeance. This pursuit often leads them against people who had nothing to do with their burning, simply spreading fire. Some of them stick to burning evil things, while others will burn anyone who looks at them funny.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Soulseared.

Fire Shield (Sp): Twice per day, plus once per day per class level, a Soulseared may cast Fire Shield, to create the hot shield only, as a swift action. Otherwise it behaves exactly as the spell with a caster level equal to her character level.

Seared Soul (Ex): The injuries a Soulseared has suffered penetrate to their soul. Fortunately, they are able to burn out the parts susceptible to control through pain and fear. A Soulseared is immune to fear, and, whenever she would be stunned, is nauseated instead unless she has immunity to stunning from some other source. Other effects that would nauseate her don't. However, no magic that can't remove her levels in Soulseared can heal her burn scars.

At 3rd level, her seared soul improves, giving immunity to energy drain. She can also re-roll any saving throw against a Charm or Compulsion effect after seeing the die, but before knowing whether it succeeds or fails. If she does, she must take the result of the second roll, even if it's worse.

Spheres: A Soulseared gains basic access to the Fire sphere at 2nd level, and the Pyre sphere at 4th level. If she already has access to those spheres, it instead improves one step. If she has expert access to one when gaining that sphere, her access to the other improves one step. If she has expert access to both, she may pick any other sphere available to fire elementals.

Fire Cut (Ex): Immediately after making a melee attack, a Soulseared of 2nd level or higher can cast any of her spell-like abilities with the [Fire] descriptor and a casting time of one standard action as a swift action.

Lingering Flames (Su): Any creature that takes fire damage from a spell-like ability of a 5th-level Soulseared and either fails or is not allowed a saving throw takes half of the original damage again one round later.

Aeon of Flames (Ex): As long as the Soulseared burns to destruction objects or creatures that total up to one size category larger than her each month, she does not age at all in that month, for purposes of penalties and maximum age. Bonuses still accrue at the normal times.
