Special abilities
Brand of the Forge (1/Day)
The efreeti brands a creature it touches with a searing sigil. The creature must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or take 40 ( 8d10 ) fire damage and become cursed, taking only half damage on a successful save. While cursed, the target has disadvantage on saving throws against fire damage and cannot benefit from resistance to fire. Only greater restoration, remove curse, or similar magic cast at 6th level or higher can remove the brand.Ifrit’s Wrath (Recharge 6)
The efreeti lets out a thunderous roar and calls down a pillar of flame in a 20-foot radius, 60-foot-high cylinder centered anywhere within 120 feet. Each creature in the area must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 56 16d6 fire damage and 20 6d6 bludgeoning damage on a failure, or half as much on a success. Creatures that fail the save are also blinded until the end of their next turn.Scorching Majesty (Aura)
While not incapacitated, the efreeti is surrounded by a shimmering heat haze. Creatures that start their turn within 10 feet of the efreeti take 10 (3d6) fire damage, and ranged attacks against it have disadvantage due to the distortion. This aura can be suppressed for 1 round if the efreeti is hit by cold damage.Specialized Equipment
Ignazz dual-wields two greatswords; a Flametongue he calls "Ig", and a Lighhtning Strike he calls "Nazz". He calls out their names as he fights with them, loving the sound of his own name as a battle cry.
