Dwarven Pyropsyche (3.5e NPC)

These dwarven priestesses worship the White Flame and it's life giving properties. They take a more militant bent, using the flame to purify and temper their bodies into monk-like fighting machines with great psionic abilities. Through this power they can manipulate the White Flame into thermal energy and scorch the world with the power of their life force, and the power of the White Flame.

The dwarven pyropsyches are the defenders of the temple and the White Flame. They protect it and their fellow worshipers without fear.
