Hover (Su) | Fire Runes hover approximately 3 feet above the ground and as such ignore difficult terrain, do not trigger traps on the ground, etc. |
Call of Flames (Su) | As a swift action, a fire rune can force each creature within 5ft. to attack the fire rune or take fire damage. Each creature within 5ft. must make a Fortitude save DC 15 or be affected by the following effect. During the creature's turn it must make an attack and deal damage to the fire rune or else it takes 2d4 fire damage. If the creature makes an attack that would deal HP damage but misses the fire rune, it takes 1d4 damage instead. |
Explosion (Su) | When a fire rune is destroyed, it deals 2d4 fire damage to each creature within 5ft. (Reflex DC 15 for half). |
A magic rune on the wall suddenly takes depth and hovers above the ground. It is in the shape of an arcane rune symbolizing fire.
Fire runes are a spell used to assist other guardians in a wizard's dwelling. When the spell is cast a triggering condition is set (usually something that the alarm spell could activate) and a rune is drawn on a wall, floor, or ceiling. When the trigger is activated, the rune will assist other guardians in the area by drawing attacks.
Combat
Fire runes will attempt to move into areas where they can use their Call of Flames to the greatest effect. They will prefer to use their mobility to get into areas and will prefer to take a double move rather than a single move and fire their Fire Ray, if they can.
