SPECIAL TRAITS

• Fiery Feathers. As the phoenixborn.
• Rebirth (1/Day). If the phoenixborn sorcerer is reduced to 0 hp, it erupts in a burst of flame. Each creature within 10 feet of it takes 7 (2d6) fire damage, and the phoenixborn sorcerer regains hp equal to the total damage taken.

ACTIONS

• Multiattack. The phoenixborn sorcerer makes two Talon or Hurl Flame attacks. It can replace one attack with a use of Spellcasting.

ABOUT

As much flame as bird, this avian humanoid sheds light from its glorious plumage.

Phoenixborn are birdlike humanoids who hail from the surface of the Elemental Plane of Fire. Their glorious plumage of red, orange, and yellow reflects their incandescent heritage.

Blessings. Phoenixborn were mundane birds once. The first of them were blessed by phoenixes after they warned about an impending demon invasion.

Cheating Death. Blows that would kill lesser creatures hardly seem to bother phoenixborn, who cheat death by bursting into balls of flames, just as their namesakes do. Clever foes target phoenixborn from a distance to avoid being caught in the flames.
