Thalassa Flamespeaker

Backstory

At times people talk of fire and brimstone preachers, but this flame-devout oracle is a literal incarnation of the stereotype who pays tribute to no deity. Where Thalassa goes, things—to put it loosely—have a tendency to ignite. Most notably, things that are supposed to be dead but are not often find themselves flailing about while growing toasty.

Thalassa, called the Flamespeaker, travels the lands in service of the Flame, delivering her message in both words and actions. Others have joined her crusade, most notably the small band of clerics who call themselves the Servants of the Devouring Flame or, more colloquially, Embers. No doubt Thalassa’s charismatic but intimidating demeanor aids her quest. One follower has noted that, “She sure is a looker, but watch out for her temper; she’s a fiery one. Ha! Pun intended. But, seriously, she’s kinda terrifying, though maybe I shouldn’t talk about that.” This sentiment was neither confirmed nor denied by Alik Daloren, the highest ranking Ember, who simply stated “She speaks for the Flame. We have all felt the Flame’s truth in our lives and so we have sworn our oaths to serve [the Flame].”

Recently members of this group have been spotted in and around the town of Boatmurdered, but there has been no sign of their leader. However, a mysterious elf with dark brown hair, olive skin, and piercing eyes quietly joined the company of Elba Truthspoken. There seems to be a resemblance…

Elves with this racial trait add +1 to saving throw DCs for spells of the divination school and sleep effects they cast.

Oracle Specific Mechanics

Mystery

• Flame

Curse

• Haunted - Malevolent spirits follow you wherever you go, causing minor mishaps and strange occurrences (such as unexpected breezes, small objects moving on their own, and faint noises). Retrieving any stored item from your gear requires a standard action, unless it would normally take longer. Any item you drop lands 10 feet away from you in a random direction.

Revelations

• 1 – Cinder Dance: base speed increases by 10 feet
• 3 – Molten Skin: resist fire 20
• 7 – Wings of Fire: As a swift action, you can manifest a pair of fiery wings that grant you a fly speed of 60 feet with average maneuverability. You can use these wings for 1 minute per day per oracle level. This duration does not need to be consecutive, but it must be spent in 1 minute increments.
• 11 - Burning Magic: Whenever a creature fails a saving throw and takes fire damage from one of your spells, it catches on fire. This fire deals 1 point of fire damage per spell level at the beginning of the burning creature’s turn. The fire lasts for 1d4 rounds, but it can be extinguished as a move action if the creature succeeds at a Reflex save (using the spell’s DC). Dousing the creature with water as a standard action grants a +2 bonus on this save, while immersing the creature in water automatically extinguishes the fire. Spells that do not grant a save do not cause a creature to catch on fire.
• 15 - Form of Flame: As a standard action, you can assume the form of a Huge Fire Elemental, as Elemental Body IV. You can use this ability once per day, but the duration is 1 hour/level.
