Fire Genasi (PWH)

__TOC__
Fiery and hot-blooded, the heat of white flame burns in the hearts of the flame lords. They claim to be forged rather than born (though this is untrue, and merely a metaphor).
The offspring of humans and elemental creatures such as efreet or fire spirits are usually slain outright by their non-human parents, but some escape to human settlements with their mortal parent. These individuals and their descendants are flame lords, secure in the knowledge that they surpass in all ways the mundane, nonmagical creatures who surround them in mortal society.
Fire burns, destroys, and consumes. Lesser creatures are afraid of fire, and so fire genasi believe themselves naturally superior they are avatars of this fearful, destructive energy. It's easy to see why those of other races dislike the arrogant and hot-tempered flame lords even more than other genasi. Most (sometimes wrongly) assume that fire genasi are innately evil.
In personality, these elemental creatures stay true to their heritage—full of energy, high-strung (even tense), and quick to action. When they speak, they talk quickly, preferring to act rather than discuss.
Fire genasi prefer blacks and reds in their clothing and jewelry. Appearance is important to them, although they prefer simple and elegant accoutrements to gaudy or lavish ones. 
The physical appearance of these individuals usually includes, one or more of the following traits:
* Deep red or coal black skin
* Deep red hair moving on its own like waving flames
* A voice crackling like the sound of a lire burning
* Perpetually warm flesh, even hot to the touch
* Fiery red eyes glowing with the intensity of (lames
Flame lords have a +1 bonus to Intelligence -1 penalty to Charisma. These elemental scions suffer no damage from normal flame, although they can still be burned by magical fire, dragon's breath, and even the honest areas on the plane of Fire. They have infravision with a 60-foot range, and also have the ability to affect normal fire once per day as a 5th-level wizard, regardless of class or level. Fire gertasi like to call this process reaching to the blaze. These individuals gain a +1 bonus to all saving throws versus fire-based magic and spells for every five experience levels, in addition to any saving throw bonuses gained from items, class, or other sources.
Fire genasi may be fighters, wizards, or fighter/wizards. If wizards belong to a specialty school, they must choose that of fire elementalism. Fire genasi may be of any alignment.
