Special Traits

• Heat. A seraph’s body generates heat. Creatures who touch the genie take 7 (2d6) fire damage. If the seraph genie uses a metal weapon adds this additional damage to the weapon’s attacks. A seraph genie can suppress this effect for 1 hour as a bonus action.
• Innate Spellcasting. A seraph genie’s innate spellcasting ability is charisma (spell save DC 15, +7 to hit with spell attacks). It can cast the following spells without requiring material components.
  • At will: detect evil and good, detect magic, flame blade, plane shift (self only), produce flame
  • 3/day each: fireball, flame strike, invisibility, see invisibility, wall of fire
  • 1/day each: fire storm, greater invisibility

Actions

• Multiattack. A seraph genie makes three scimitar attacks.
• Scimitar. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) fire damage.
• Fire Burst (Recharge 5-6). The seraph genie emits a blast of elemental fire in a 30-foot radius. All creatures in the area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 28 (8d6) fire damage on a failed saving throw, or half as much on a successful one.

About

This creature resembles a ten-foot-tall human with brick-red skin and coal-black hair, long and braided.

The seraphs are genies from the Plane of Fire, and the sworn enemies of the efreet. A violent war between the two genie races has spanned centuries and spilled into an uncountable number of planes.

Any encounter between a seraph and an efreeti sparks a battle that only ends when one or the other is killed.

Those that aid the efreeti are treated by seraphs as if they were efreeti themselves; no mercy is shown in battle to an ally of the hated fire genies. The seraphs often align themselves with djinn as they both share the efreeti as a common enemy.

A seraph prefers to use its spell-like abilities over melee weapons in combat, often allowing its opponents to move in close so the seraph can unleash its fire burst. A seraph facing overwhelming odds in battle attempts to flee; covering its escape by turning invisible or erecting a wall of fire between itself and its enemies.

A typical seraph stands 10 feet tall and weighs about 1,500 pounds.
