View source for Fire Beetle (3.5e Monster)

=== Combat ===

If possible, Fire Beetles will try to Set Fires in order to control their opponents' avenues of approach.  If not it will Spew Flame as they charge in, and rely on it's mandibles to get the job done.  Opponents who are immune to flame are fled from.  The Beetle is a bit cowardly in that respec.  

'''Spew Flame{{Su}}:'''  The Fire Beetle can spew a 30' Cone of fire once every 1d4 rounds.  This cone does 7d6 Fire damage to anything in it's area (DC 18 Reflex Save for half damage, Save DC is Constitution Based).

'''Burning Touch{{Su}}:'''  The Fire Beetle itself is incredibly hot.  Attacking it with a weapon (or being attacked by it if you're wearing armor) produces an effect similar to the Heat Metal spell.  Each attack extends the duration by 1 round (DC 14 Will Save negates, Save DC is Charisma Based). Attacking the Fire Beetle with an unarmed strike or natural weapons results in 1d6 Fire damage.

'''Set Fires{{Su}}:'''  As a Swift Action, once per round the Fire Beetle may set 1 square within 30' on fire.  Anyone entering the square takes 1d6 damage, and must make a DC 15 Reflex Save or catch on fire (see page 303 of the DM's Guide).
