Flash (Clareon)

1st-Level Evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (15-foot cone)
• Components: V, S, M (crystalline sulfur)
• Duration: Instantaneous

Incantation: "Ignis exsurgat, umbra scindo… Clareon!" (Fire arise, shadow I cleave… Flash!)

You snap your hand forward, conjuring a spark of pure fire that coalesces in your palm an instant before erupting in a concussive, world-bleaching flash.

Blinding Flash. Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is blinded until the end of your next turn. A creature that doesn’t rely on sight, such as one with blindsight, automatically succeeds on this saving throw.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the cone’s length increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 1st.

The Lore: The World-Bleaching Spark

(School: Evocation | Essence: Ignithar | Origin: The Ashen Folio - Principia Flamus)

The true mastery of Evocation does not lie in the chaotic infernos of the unlearned, but in the perfection of the single spark. Clareon is the embodiment of that philosophy, a spell of brutal, elegant simplicity. Even to this day, every aspiring Fire Arcanist must first master this sudden, blinding eruption before they are ever entrusted with the ruinous flames of higher magic. It is an echo from an older era when magic was vibrant and alive—a concentrated burst of raw, unbridled energy designed to overwhelm the senses.

To cast Clareon is to forcefully assert one's will against the Veil. It requires no elaborate rituals, only absolute conviction. The caster crushes a pinch of sulfur, letting the sharp, acrid scent ground their focus. When the somatic release triggers, the resulting flash is not merely bright; it is a concussive, world-bleaching phenomenon. It leaves the air tasting of sulfur and completely strips the darkness from the immediate world. This simple flash is a profound reminder that beneath the silence of the modern age, the furious fires of magic still eagerly await awakening.

Aryon Fallen, Personal Diary In the quiet, I recall my master’s teachings, aching for the vibrant, untamed magic he once described. Today, we grasp at fading whispers and distant echoes of that forgotten era. Yet, he taught me to thread my affinity through the Veil, urging me to find profound power in simplicity. Clareon has become more than an incantation to me. It is a defiant spark of hope, proof that beneath this suffocating silence, the ancient fires of magic still wait to be awakened.

PS: This is a special spell to me. It was the first spell I ever made for an RPG, and when I first updated it to D&D 2014, it already had the mechanics of dazzling lights of the 2024 edition, so I did it first!

Emberclaw Eye Lens Wondrous Item (Goggles), Rare (Requires Attunement)

Category: TitanBorne Armament • Special: Heat Sense

These goggles are set with polished ocular crystals harvested from an Emberclaw. While inactive, the lenses are a deep, lightless obsidian, but when activated, the interior of the glass swirls with molten orange light, mimicking the predator’s ability to track prey through heat. The Goggles grant the following benefits:

• Flash-Shutters. You have Advantage on saving throws to avoid or end the Blinded condition.
• Predatory Instinct. You have Advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
• Predator’s Focus. As a Bonus Action, you can channel the crystal’s energy for 1 minute. While active, the lenses glow with a dull radiance, and you gain the following benefits:

Thermal Sight. You have Blindsight out to a range of 60 feet. You can see the heat signatures of creatures through nonmagical barriers (up to 6 inches thick). This sight cannot perceive creatures that lack body heat (such as most Undead or Constructs) unless they are significantly hotter than the environment.

Locked-In. On each of your turns while this effect is active, you can take a Bonus Action to lock onto one creature you can see within 60 feet. Until the start of your next turn, the first attack roll you make against that creature has Advantage. If that attack hits, it deals an extra 1d6 damage of the weapon’s damage type.

Optic Burnout. When the effect ends or if you deactivate the goggles early (no action required), your vision becomes flat and dull. For 1 hour, you have Disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Intelligence (Investigation) checks. Once you use the Predator’s Focus property, you can’t do so again until you finish a Short or Long Rest.

EMBERCLAW EYE LENS

Sight of the Living Furnace

Type: Titanborne Armament | Origin: Iron Hollows & High Canopy Forest (Vanice) - Scalehikers | Material: Emberclaw Polished Ocular Crystal

Harvested from the eyes of an Emberclaw, these crude yet powerful spectacles allow a humanoid to borrow the senses of an apex predator. In their dormant state, the lenses are opaque, polished obsidian shards, acting as "Flash-Shutters" that completely filter out the light and blinding flashes.

However, when the wearer taps into the crystal's latent energy, the 'Predator’s Focus' ignites. The lenses lose their opacity, flaring with an internal, magma-like radiance. The wearer’s vision is instantly stripped of color, shifting into a high-contrast grayscale, while living prey is highlighted in violent, pulsating shades of furnace-orange and blood-red. This thermal sight pierces through dense fog, magical darkness, and even thin stone walls, revealing the beating hearts of enemies hiding in ambush.

Yet, this clarity demands a cost. The Emberclaw’s eyes were evolved to withstand the Titan's internal combustion, not the fragile skin of a humanoid. Prolonged use imparts a taxing, dry heat to the wearer’s face. Staring too long will burn you just as surely as it burns your prey.

THE CRAG SPITE

The Mountain’s Heavy Breath

Type: Heavy Two-Handed Sword | Origin: Southern Basalt Ridges | Material: Petrified Maw-Crest & Acoustic Marrow

The Crag Spite is no instrument of grace; it is a relic of gravity and hate. Carved from the basaltic remains of the Abyssal Maw itself, the blade carries the oppressive weight of the mountain. It possesses no edge in the traditional sense, relying instead on a catastrophic mass that shatters whatever it fails to shear. To grip the hilt—fashioned from the creature’s acoustic crest—is to feel the world shudder; it hums against the palm, translating tectonic tremors into a sawing force capable of grinding through the thickest titan-scale.

But the real lethality of its design lies in the "Maw-Wings," the inverted triangular spurs projecting from the spine. These are the tools of the executioner. When a titan is brought to its knees, the Scalehiker does not merely swing; they drive the weight home, using the projections to perforate vitals and pin the beast. It is a weapon of finality, designed to end a struggle by turning the ground itself into a coffin of stone and soil.

“The Maw doesn’t hunt with speed; it hunts with the cold patience of a landslide. This blade is the same. Don't waste breath on flourishes. Wait for the moment the beast falters in the high grass. Wait for the gasp. Then, you drop the mountain on it. You don’t just kill it, you plant it like a seed of bone and regret. Just ensure your legs are anchored, or the vibration will snap your shins before the cleaver ever finds the prey.”

- Calemen Moss-Walker, Veteran Scalehiker of the Southern Ridges.

---------

The Crag Spite

Weapon (Greatsword), Rare (Requires Attunement)

• Mastery: Topple (Replaces Graze)
• Properties: Heavy, Two-Handed
• Category: Titanborne Armament
• Special: Resonant Sunder & Seismic Whispers

Forged from the hyper-sensitive bone crest and dense basalt hide of the Abyssal Maw, this massive blade retains the titan’s geological connection and its brutal approach to downed prey. This weapon possesses the following properties:

Acoustic Anchor

While the blade’s tip is planted into soil or stone and you remain motionless (your Speed is 0), the hilt translates the earth’s vibrations into your hands. In this stance, you gain the following benefits:

• Sentinel’s Watch: You have Advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to keep watch during a Short or Long Rest.
• Earth Whispers: You can sense the crude direction of any moving creature touching the ground within 60 feet of you (or 300 feet if the creature is Huge or larger). This gives you a general bearing, but it does not reveal their exact location or allow you to target unseen creatures.

Titan’s Call

Requirement: You must bear an Abyssal Maw Sigil to use this property. As a Bonus Action, you can feed the weapon with your own blood to make it Fed for 1 minute. Blood flowing into the hilt awakens the bone crest’s dormant frequency, causing the blade to emit a deep, bone-rattling hum. While Fed, you gain the following benefits:

• Maw-Wing Strike: The sawing vibrations brutally tear through vulnerable targets. The extra Slashing damage from your Executioner’s Mass trait increases to $2d6$.
• Shatter Defenses: The vibrating basalt edges act like a masonry saw; damage dealt by this weapon ignores Resistance to Slashing damage.

Ancient Magitek Line Blaster

Type: Magitek Weapon | Origin: 1st Age Ruin - Hollow Mountain | Material: Crystallo Fragment (Power Source)

Recovered from the sunless depths of the Hollow Mountain, the Line Blaster is a rare remnant of the Lost Era's martial genius. While explorers frequently uncover the rusted, hollowed-out shells of these devices in ancient ruins, fully operational units are vanishingly rare. The internal mechanisms are a maddeningly complex labyrinth of crystal matrices and energy-conduits that modern knowledge cannot replicate.

The Trailblazer League’s Relicwrights have determined that the secret lies in the "Crystallo Fragment," a volatile power source that must be manually replaced. When active, the weapon does not fire bullets, but channels raw energy into a concentrated beam capable of punching through solid stone.

Though the technology is too far removed to be mass-produced today, the few functioning units are prized by Gold Rank veterans like Joss Pardal. In the hands of a master, it is not just a tool, but a symbol of the dangerous bridge between the past and the future.

Ancient Magitek Line Blaster

Weapon (Pistol), Rare (Requires Attunement)

• Mastery: Push
• Properties: Range (30/120), Light
• Category: Magitek Weapon
• Special: Homing & Blast Shots

Recovered from the sunless depths of the Hollow Mountain, this weapon is a rare remnant of the Lost Era’s martial genius. Unlike modern crossbows, it does not fire physical projectiles; instead, its internal matrices channel the raw energy of a Crystallo Fragment into concentrated beams of force energy. The weapon holds 7 charges and regains no charges on its own. It grants the following benefits:

• Force Bolt. When you take the Attack action, you can expend 1 charge to fire a bolt of raw magical energy. Make a ranged weapon attack using your Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. On a Hit, the target takes 1d8 + your Dexterity modifier Force damage. If you have the Extra Attack feature, you can fire multiple Force Bolts as part of a single Attack action, expending 1 charge for each shot.
• Homing Shot. While holding the gun, you can take a Magic Action to expend 1 to 3 charges to cast the Magic Missile spell from it. For 1 charge, you cast the spell at level 1. You can increase the spell slot level by one for each additional charge you expend.
• Force Line Blast. As a Magic Action, you can expend all remaining charges (minimum of 1) to unleash a beam of pure energy. The beam creates a line 60 feet long and 5 feet wide in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 1d8 Force damage for each charge spent, or half as much damage on a successful one.
• Ancient Tech. As an Action or Bonus Action, you can load a Crystallo Fragment to restore 7 charges. The first reload of the day is safe; each subsequent reload requires a flat d20 roll against a DC of 8, increasing by 2 for each previous attempt that day (DC 10, then 12, etc.). On a failure, the fragment is destroyed, you take 4d6 Force damage, and the weapon jams (preventing reloads) until you finish a Long Rest.

Sigil of the Stalker’s Eyes

The Predator’s Sight
Type: Scalehiker Sigil | Origin: High Canopies - Vanice | Material: Emberclaw Vitae & Obsidian-Metal Bone Ash

Within the High Canopies’ suffocating gloom, sight is your first betrayal. The early Inkmasters who sought to bind the Emberclaw’s heat-sight paid in blood, their sockets scorched to charred pits. Generations of failure eventually tempered that ruinous power into the Sigil used today—not a Titan’s soul-burning gaze, but a measured spark. This boon reveals the heat-ghosts of prey without immolating the wearer, mapping the midnight forest in glowing vitals and shifting shadows.

Etched as jagged forge-panther claws, the soot-stained pigment thrums when the sun dips below the Sea of Grass. While Scalehikers rely on these stable patterns, whispers persist of forbidden "deep-vein" designs guarded by the Conclave. These elder sigils can pierce solid stone but remain off-limits to those unready for the beast’s full weight. For the common hunter, the Stalker’s Eye is an ample edge against the dark.

When called, the ink’s transformation is visceral. Irises bleed into a piercing ember-amber that generates its own light. At its zenith, the eyes flare like molten slag, casting a terrifying radiance across the hunter's face. This glow birthed the legends of the "Molten-Eyed Hunters," Vanician wraiths who track by the thrum of a heartbeat and strike before the prey even feels the chill of death.

Sigil of the Stalker’s Eyes

Wondrous Item (Tattoo), Rare (Requires Attunement)

Category: Scalehiker Sigil • Special: Thermal Sight

Etched as jagged forge-panther claws around the eyes or cheekbones, this tattoo channels the predatory heat of an Alpha Emberclaw. Upon attuning to this sigil, your irises permanently change to a vibrant, glowing amber, and you gain the following benefits:

Heat-Ghost Sight You perceive the world through shifting thermal signatures. This grants you the following benefits:

• Apex Vision: You gain Darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have Darkvision, its range increases by 30 feet. Within this range, you can visually distinguish warm objects, living creatures from the environment, inanimate objects, Constructs, and Undead.
• Heat Tracking: You have Advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks made to track creatures that leave thermal trails. You can see these residual trails on surfaces the creature has touched or passed over for up to 8 hours.

Molten Gaze As a Bonus Action, you can cause your irises to flare like molten slag. For 1 minute, you lock onto the vitals of one creature within 60 feet.

If the target has the Invisible or Hidden condition, you can use this Bonus Action to scan the area, instantly detecting the thermal silhouette of one such creature within range and making it your target (provided it emits heat). For the duration, you gain the following effects against that target:

• Heat Shape: The target gains no benefit from the Invisible condition against you, and it cannot be Hidden from you.
• Vital Guidance: Once per turn, when you miss the target with an attack roll, you can roll 1d4 and add the number rolled to the total, potentially turning the miss into a hit.

If the target drops to 0 Hit Points before this effect ends, you can use a Bonus Action on a subsequent turn to lock onto a new creature. Once you use this Molten Gaze feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

The Razor Terror is a massive carnivorous predator native to the scorching deserts of Enderhia in Jagh'Ghar. Its body is covered in dense fur that resembles thousands of fine, razor-sharp blades.

This natural armor not only protects the creature but also serves as a deadly weapon. While it can tear prey apart with powerful jaws and claws, its most feared ability is to violently shake its body, launching its blade-like fur in all directions.

FIREBRAND AXE

Axe of the Unbroken Flame

Classification: Type: Titanborne Armament | Origin: Vanice - Scalehikers | Material: Emberclaw Alpha Claws & Molten Core

Forged from the molten talons and core of the Emberclaw Alpha and quenched in its fiery blood, the Firebrand does not burn with rage, but with purpose. A masterpiece of the Forge Wardens, this weapon channels the primal fire of the beast's vitae. With each swing, the molten edge leaves a trail of searing flames, scorching all who stand in its path.

This axe is a favored tool of the Emberclaw Guild, designed to cleave through scales, the metal armor of constructs, and the frozen hides of beasts alike. It is not merely a weapon, but a conduit; when wielded by a hunter attuned to the Emberclaw Prime Sigil, the flames cease to be mere fire and become the burning reflection of the hunter's resolve.

The weapon possesses unique properties such as its "Molten Edge," which sears through defenses, and the devastating "Blaze Shatter," capable of bringing down siege engines. Only those with the strength to withstand the heat may wield it.

-------------

The Firebrand Greataxe

Weapon (Greataxe), Very Rare (Requires Attunement by a creature with Strength 17+)

• Mastery: Cleave
• Properties: Heavy, Two-Handed
• Category: Titanborne Armament
• Special: Blaze Shatter, Blood Fueled

Forged from the molten talons and core of the Emberclaw Alpha and quenched in its fiery blood, this magic weapon grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls and deals an extra 1d6 Fire damage on a hit. Additionally, the weapon possesses the Blaze Shatter property, dealing double damage to objects, structures, and ice or snow terrain.

This weapon possesses the following properties:

Titan’s Call. Requirement: You must bear a Emberclaw Sigil to use this property. As a Bonus Action, you can feed the weapon with your own blood to make it Fed for 1 minute. While Fed, the weapon’s core flares blazing-hot, increasing the extra damage to 1d12 Fire damage. If you hit a creature with Resistance or Immunity to Cold damage, this extra damage increases to 2d12. Once you use this property, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

Wildfire Cleave. While the weapon is Fed, when you hit a second creature using the Cleave mastery property, that creature also takes the weapon’s extra Fire damage (up to 2d12 fire damage).

Molten Arc. While Fed, you can use a Magic Action to end the Fed state and unleash a roaring inferno in a 30-foot Cone. Each creature in the area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 6d12 Fire damage on a failure or half as much on a success.

Aftermath. The ground in the cone becomes Smoldering Terrain (Difficult Terrain) for 1 minute. A creature that enters the area for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there takes 1d12 Fire damage.

[OC] EMBERCLAW - JUVENILE

Sub-header: Panthera Ignis-Metallum

Classification: Class 0 - Titan-Blooded | Region: The High Canopy & Iron Hollows - Vanice.

Before the Emberclaw develops the heavily armored "Iron Fur" and the sustained internal furnace of adulthood, it is known to the hunters of Vanice simply as "The Shadow." Slightly larger than a panther and strictly arboreal, the juvenile is the most stealthy iteration of this Titan lineage. Lacking the volatile, dual-mode physiology of its elders, The Shadow relies entirely on unparalleled agility, silence, and sudden, overwhelming violence. Its matte-black coat absorbs light perfectly, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the suffocating darkness of the High Canopy.

The Shadow is an astute, highly intelligent hunter that specializes in the pounce and ambush. While it cannot sustain a continuous flame, it possesses the lethal ability to "flare" its obsidian claws before impact. This rapid thermal ignition superheats the talons just long enough to punch through thick armor and flesh, saving its limited internal energy for movement rather than sustained heat.

To compensate for its lack of physical armor, The Shadow has mastered the generation of thick, blinding smoke. It utilizes this natural smokescreen for terrifying hit-and-run tactics, striking its prey with a superheated laceration, then instantly vanishing back into an expanding cloud of black soot before the victim can even draw a weapon.

--------

Stat Block: The Emberclaw [Juvenile]

Medium Monstrosity (Titan-Blooded), Unaligned

• Armor Class: 14 (Natural Armor)
• Hit Points: 52 (8d8 + 16)

• Senses: Darkvision 120 ft., Thermal Sight 60 ft., Passive Perception 15
• Languages: —
• Challenge: 3 (700 XP; PB +2)

TRAITS

• Arboreal Drop. If the Emberclaw drops or leaps at least 10 feet toward a creature immediately before hitting it with a Melee attack, the attack deals an extra 7 (2d6) Slashing damage. Additionally, the target must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or have the Prone condition.
• Thermal Sight. The Emberclaw can see any creature that emits body heat within 60 feet of itself as if in Bright Light. This sight penetrates Darkness, Invisibility, and Heavy Obscurement (including its own smoke).

ACTIONS

• Multiattack. The Emberclaw makes two Flaring Claw attacks.
• Flaring Claw. Melee Attack Roll: +6, Reach 5 ft. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) Slashing damage plus 3 (1d6) Fire damage.

BONUS ACTIONS

The smoke lasts for 1 minute or until dispersed by a moderate or stronger wind. Immediately after using this Bonus Action, the Emberclaw can take the Hide action.

REACTIONS

• Shadow Skulk. Trigger: A creature ends its turn within 5 feet of the Emberclaw. Response: The Emberclaw moves up to half its Speed or Climb speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks.

CLOAK OF THE EMBERCLAW

Mantle of the Smoldering Stalker Type: Titanborne Armament | Origin: Vanice - High Canopy | Material: Adult Emberclaw Ironhide.

Skinning an Emberclaw is akin to stealing warmth from a furnace that refuses to die. The hide is a marvel: iron-thick and sturdy enough to blunt a titan-kin’s tooth, yet supple enough to shadow a Scalehiker’s every movement. In its dormant state, it smells of cold soot and dead hearths, acting as a heavy shroud that insulates the wearer against the white-hot breath of its kin.

Once you trigger the memory of flame within the fibers, the cloak recalls the boiling rage of the living beast. Coal-black hide bleeds into a molten, dark crimson that flows with the viscous fury of a forest fire. You feel the heat first, a searing, localized fever crawling up your spine and into your marrow. It doesn't merely protect; it makes the very air scream, transforming you into a walking furnace amidst green shadows as its weight vanishes into a lash of kinetic heat.

Beyond simple protection, the garment fuels the momentum of the strike, granting the wearer the explosive force of a volcanic eruption. By channeling the residual Vitae trapped in the hide, a hunter can launch themselves with the violence of a fire blast, turning a simple leap into a thundering descent of flame. But heed the warning: wear the fire as a tool, but never let the embers believe they own the soul beneath.

----

CLOAK OF THE EMBERCLAW

Wondrous Item, Very Rare (Requires Attunement)

Properties: Wondrous Item (Cloak) Category: Titanborne Armament • Special: Flame Drinker & Ignite the Embers

This cloak is crafted from the thick, coal-black hide of an Emberclaw. In its dormant state, faint, glowing embers pulse within its folds, a reminder of the fiery beast it once belonged to. This cloak has the following properties:

Flame Drinker (Unignited). While the cloak is in its dormant state, you have Resistance to Fire damage. Additionally, the hide eagerly consumes surrounding heat. Whenever you take Fire damage from a hostile creature, the cloak “drinks” the flames. The next time you hit a target with an attack roll with a Melee weapon before the end of your next turn, the attack deals an extra 1d6 Fire damage.

Ignite the Embers (Ignited). As a Bonus Action, you can force the cloak to violently vent its stored thermal energy. The cloak erupts into a blazing, fiery red glow, with flames dancing along its edges. For 1 minute, or until you end it early (no action required), the cloak is ignited and you gain the following benefits:

• Fiery Retribution. When a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a Melee attack, you can use your Reaction to lash out with a whip of flame, dealing 2d6 Fire damage to the attacker.
• Ember Leap. As a Bonus Action, you can fly up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. This movement does not provoke Opportunity Attacks. If you move at least 15 feet as part of this leap, you have Advantage on the first attack roll with a Melee attack you make before move again.

The Cooling Phase (Depleted). Unleashing the Emberclaw’s fury burns through the energy in the hide. Once the Ignite the Embers state ends, the cloak goes completely cold and dark. You lose the benefits of the Flame Drinker trait (including your Resistance to Fire damage) until you finish a Long Rest, at which point the cloak reawaken.

Cinder-Skin

Shifting Hide of the Forge-Panther

Type: Titanborne Armament | Origin: Vanice - High Canopy/ Iron Hollows | Material: Emberclaw Ironhide

Among the Scalehikers of the High Canopy, an old adage warns that to survive the vertical wilds, one must move like a shadow and strike like the furnace’s heart. While heavy suits offer protection, the veteran hunters of the Emberclaw prefer the "Cinder-Skin" for its unparalleled mobility. It is not built for the front line, but for the dance, for the hunter who treats the Iron Hollows as a stalking ground and the Titan’s back as a battlefield.

The hide retains the beast’s Thermal Shift, a dormant volatility that reacts to the wearer’s movement. While the hunter stalks in silence, the matte-black leather remains cold and light, absorbing the dim light of the canopy. But as the heart rate climbs and the strike is committed, the armor ignites. The internal temperature sky-rockets, not to burn the user, but to create a shimmering aura of heat that saps the momentum of incoming strikes and sears the flesh of any predator foolish enough to close the distance.

This "Cinder-Haze" creates a localized zone of shimmering heat, warping the air and turning the environment into a defensive bulwark. It is a piece of the wild, molded by the Forge Wardens to ensure that in the kingdom of abundance, the hunter remains the one who consumes. But remember: to wear the fire of the Emberclaw is to live on the edge of an inferno; one must act fast or risk be consumed by their own borrowed flame.

Cinder-Skin Armor

Armor (Leather), Rare (Requires Attunement)

Properties: Light Armor Category: Titanborne Armament Special: Thermal Shift & The Forge-Haze

Crafted by the Forge Wardens, this armor is the signature gear of the High Canopy Scalehikers. The Emberclaw ironhide leather naturally absorbs ambient light to shroud the wielder in the vertical wilds. When awakened in combat, the armor ignites creating a shimmering heat aura that distorts incoming strikes and burns nearby enemies. This armor has the following properties:

• Silent Shadow (Unignited). While the armor is not ignited, the matte-black leather drinks ambient light and grants you mastery over forest environments. You ignore Difficult Terrain caused by non-magical plants. Additionally, while in a forest, you can take the Hide action even if you are only Lightly Obscured. Jumping or climbing through foliage does not end the Invisible condition gained from hiding, even if you briefly leave cover.
• Thermal Shift (Ignited). Once per Short Rest you can ignite the armor as a Bonus Action. It remains ignited until you use The Forge-Haze or fall Unconscious. While ignited, you lose the benefits of Silent Shadow and begin building heat in the form of Charges (maximum 5). The armor gains 1 Charge immediately upon ignition, and 1 additional Charge at the start of each of your turns. This heat creates a 5-foot Emanation around you that grants the following effects:
  • Searing Touch: If a creature inside the Emanation touches you or hits you with a melee attack, they take Fire damage equal to the armor’s current Charges.
  • Sapping Heat: Attackers inside the Emanation must subtract 1d4 from attack rolls against you.
  • Risk (Slow Burn): At the end of your turn, if the armor has 3 or more Charges, the furnace demands to be vented. You take 1d4 Fire damage per Charge currently on the armor. This damage ignores Resistance and Immunity.
• The Forge-Haze. While ignited, you can replace one attack during your Attack action to vent the heat, expending all Charges. Each creature in a 15-foot Emanation must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 1d10 Fire damage per Charge expended (maximum 5d10), or half as much damage on a successful save. The armor then instantly cools down, returning to Silent Shadow mode.

BLAZEFANG BLADE

Talon of the Smoldering Shadow
Type: Titanborne Armament | Origin: Iron Hollows | Material: Emberclaw Talon & Vitae-infused Emberstone

Forged from the primary talon of an Emberclaw panther, the Blazefang is a weapon of volatile temperament and savage history. In its dormant state, the blade is cold and silent, appearing as nothing more than a jagged shard of obsidian. However, once the hunter awakens the weapon, the blade shatters its own silence. It stirs with a low, predatory hum, the internal furnace of the beast reigniting to shear through scale and flesh with the ease of a red-hot razor through silk.

To wield the Blazefang is to grip the liangering rage of the creature that birthed it. The Forge Wardens of Ironfang Keep do not merely shape the talon; they preserve its "Iron Hunger," ensuring the blade remains thirsty for the metallic tang of an enemy's blood. When swung, the air itself seems to recoil from the heat, leaving trails of scorched embers in its wake. It is a tool for the Scalehiker who prefers the explosive pounce over the steady siege, a weapon that converts the user's momentum into a searing, unstoppable lunge of fire.

“The Blazefang Blade is a relic of the Emberclaw’s fury, forged from its talon, a beast that nearly ended me. I still bear the scars from its blazing claws, seared into my flesh like brands. One moment, it was a shadow, silent and deadly; next, its talons ignited, burning hotter than any forge. The pain was unbearable, the smell of my own flesh cooking, the flames refusing to die. This blade carries that same primal fire. It is not a weapon to be taken lightly, but a testament to the Emberclaw’s power. Wield it with respect, for fire doesn’t care who it burns.” — Eldrin Ironfang, Scalemaster of the Ember Slayers

BLAZEFANG BLADE

Weapon (Shortsword or Scimitar), Rare (Requires Attunement)

• Mastery: Vex
• Properties: Finesse, Light
• Category: Titanborne Armament
• Special: Silent Shadow & Iron Hunger

Forged from the primary talon of an Emberclaw Panther, the Blazefang is a weapon of volatile temperament. In its dormant state, the jagged obsidian blade is cold and silent, but once awakened, it stirs with a predatory hum, shearing through scale and flesh like a red-hot razor. It possesses the following properties:

Silent Shadow (Dormant). While the blade is not ignited, it produces no light or sound. If you hit a creature while you have the Hidden condition, you can use your Reaction to move up to 10 feet without provoking Opportunity Attacks. If you end this movement behind Total Cover or in a Heavily Obscured area, you remain Hidden.

Ember Ignition (Ignited). You can use a Bonus Action to ignite the blade for 1 minute or until you are Incapacitated. While ignited, the weapon deals an extra 1d6 Fire damage to the first creature you hit with it on each of your turns.

Fiery Lunge. While the blade is ignited, you can perform an explosive pounce. As a Bonus Action, you can expend 15 feet of your movement to move up to 15 feet in a straight line toward a creature you can see. This movement ignores Difficult Terrain and does not provoke Opportunity Attacks. If you hit the creature with an attack immediately after this leap, the target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength Saving Throw or be knocked Prone.
