Typical Stats

ST:	7	HP:	7	Speed:	5.25
DX:	11	Will:	9	Move:	5 ground, 10 air (cannot hover)

Blunt Claws (13): thrust 1d-2 crushing (KYOS: 1d-5 crushing), Reach C.

Breath Weapon (13): A 10-yard jet of fire erupts from the mephit’s mouth. It uses Innate Attack (Breath) to hit. Don’t apply range penalties; treat this as a long melee weapon rather than a ranged attack. It does 1d burning damage, and has a 1/2D range of 5 yards. This ability costs 1 FP to use.

Heat Metal: A fire mephit can spend 3 FP to use this ability on a metal object, making it very hot to the touch. This ability is resolved as a Quick Contest of the mephit's Will vs. the object's HT, penalized for range normally. It deals 1 point of burning damage per second to everyone touching it. Useful when used on foe’s plate armor or metal weapon.
