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.
