| Description |
All noble salamanders speak Ignan and Common. Heat (Ex): A salamander generates so much heat that its mere touch deals additional fire damage. Salamanders' metallic weapons also conduct this heat. Constrict (Ex): A salamander deals automatic tail slap damage (including fire damage) with a successful grapple check against creatures up to one size larger than itself. A noble salamander can constrict multiple creatures simultaneously, provided they are all at least two sizes smaller than it. Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day-burning hands, fireball, flaming sphere, and wall of fire; 1/day-dispel magic and summon monster VII (huge fire elemental). These abilities are as the spells cast by a 15th-level sorcerer (save DC 12 + spell level). Fire Subtype (Ex): Fire immunity, double damage from cold except on a successful save. Skills: Salamanders receive a +4 racial bonus to Craft (metalworking) skill checks. Feats: Salamanders have the Multiattack feat even without the requisite three natural weapons. Noble Salamander Characters Noble salamanders may be clerics, sorcerers, or fighters (their favored class). |
