Breath Weapon (13): A 10-yard jet of magma erupts from the mephit’s mouth. He uses Innate Attack (Breath) to hit.

If any damage penetrates the target’s DR, he must make a HT roll, at -1 per 2 points of injury or suffer from moderate pain (p. B428) for (20 – HT) minutes as his skin and eyes burn and itch.This ability costs 1 FP to use.
