All of the following are class features of the Phoenix Striker.

Fire Core (Ex): A 1st level phoenix striker's inner heat provide her protection against both fire and cold, gain cold and fire resistance equal to 3x her character levels.

Incredible Speed (Ex): At 2nd level phoenix strike base land speed increase by 10' per class level. Additionally she can can run up walls and other surfaces provided she end her movement on a horizontal surface which can support her.

Martial Advancement (Ex): A phoenix striker advance a character's previous martial abilities. She choose a class, her phoenix striker levels count as levels in that class for the purpose of advancing the rage class feature (number of rages per day you receive, and the bonuses received during rage gaining greater and mighty rage as appropriate), effective fighter level (receiving a fighter bonus feat at 2nd and 4th level), her initiator level (receiving one additional maneuver known per level, one maneuver readied at 3rd and one stance known at 4th) and scaling monk abilities (such as flurry of blows, speed bonus, and unarmed strike damage). She do not receive additional class features from that class however (like a monk's still mind or a barbarian's damage reduction).

Phoenix Strike (Su):At 2nd level a phoenix strike can shroud her next melee attack with burning flames and the power of an explosion. As a swift action the phoenix strike make her next melee attack deal an additional 10 fire damages per class level and 5 additional fire damages per non-phoenix striker class level. If the attack hit the phoenix striker's turn immediately end she is staggered until the end of her next turn. If the attack miss the phoenix striker's turn immediately end but there is no further penalties.

A phoenix striker may only use her phoenix strike once every 5 rounds.

Smoking Hot (Su): A 2nd phoenix striker add her class level in bonus fire damage on all melee attacks she make and to creatures striking her with non-reach weapons. When she come into contact with water it evaporate rapidly, spells with the [water] descriptor used against her are dampened by her half class level. If she is submerged in liquid she immediately evaporate the water in her square and all adjacent square at the start of her turn, creating an obscuring mist centered on her covering the area she evaporated.

She may resume or suppress this ability as a free action.

Explosive Combustion (Ex): At 3rd level a phoenix striker may convert half of her fire damage into bludgeoning damage.

Rocket Charger (Su): At 3rd level a phoenix striker can channel her inner fire behind her to boost at tremendous speed and charge with great force. Whenever she run or charge her speed is tripled, additionally whenever she make a charge attack, she may attack and immediately make a bull rush against the target. If successful, she do not have to move with the target, as it blast it away with explosive force.

Exploding Strike (Su): A 4th level phoenix striker gain a new use of her phoenix strike, after she used her swift action to declare a phoenix strike she may as a full-round action make a single normal or charge attack. If the attack hit the phoenix striker's attack cause an explosion that is similar to a ur fireball centered on either the creature or square she struck. Neither her or the creature struck are affected by the explosion or need to make a fortitude save against the cloud for 1 round. This ability is often to take out large groups of creatures or as a fiery ground pound.

The caster level of the ur fireball is the phoenix strike's base attack bonus and the saving throws are charisma-based.

Blazing Turbo (Su): At 5th level, when the phoenix strike use her rocket charger her speed increase even more. Instead of being tripled her speed is multiplied by 10 (not following dnd typical multiplication rules), she become so fast that she is invisible (this is not an illusion effect) during her movement. If she use it as a part of a run action each round she run in a row her speed triple until the tenth round where she reach her top speed.
