The Phlogistinator
At first level, you gain access to the mythical flamethrower called the Phlogistinator. This weapon bonds to you and only you are able to wield it. And You can summon it with a 1-minute ritual. It's also almost indestructible not being able to be destroyed while you are wielding it. and only being able to be destroyed by a 9th level radiant spell when you are not wielding it. This applies to any weapon made from the same material as well.
It feeds of your strength. And you have to use your Strength to control and aim with it. you are proficient with this weapon.
- Basic Attack
Is a ranged weapon attack with a 15 ft range able to attack one Creature at a time. It deals fire damage based on your level starting with 1d4 fire damage and is classified as a heavy, two-handed, weapon.
A creature which takes damage from The Phlogistinator takes the Afterburn damage shown on the chart in fire damage at the start of each of its turns, not stacking with itself. A creature can end this damage by using its action to make a DC Dexterity check equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier to extinguish the flames or until it last 2 times your Charisma modifier in rounds. Additional hits from this weapon will restart the duration of the afterburn.
Mmmph Points
At second level you realise that the full potential of this weapon is untapped. You gain access to it by the guise of Mmmph Points. You can spend Mmmph Points in multiple ways, and get them back after a long rest and you gain back quarter of your points rounded up on a short rest or get Mmmph Points equal to your afterburn damage when you kill a creature. You can spend these points to fuel various Mmmph features. You start knowing three such features: WM1, Spray and Pray, Focus Flame. You can only use 1 Mmmph feature per attack unless specified otherwise.
Some of your Mmmph features require your target to make a saving throw The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Mmmph save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your cha modifier
WM1. When you are about to make a normal single-target attack with a Phlogistinator, you can use 1 Mmmph point. to make your attack act in a 5-foot-wide 15 feet long line in front of you. penetrating any creature standing in that line dealing damage as normal.
Spray and Pray. When you are about to make a normal single-target attack with a Phlogistinator, you can spend 2 Mmmph points to, spray everything in a 15 ft. cone. Each creature in the area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take the flamethrower's normal damage.
Focus Flame. When you are about to make a normal single-target attack with a Phlogistinator, you can spend 2 Mmmph points to focus down on that single target and deal double damage for that one attack, and the Afterburn DC gets +2 the DC effect does not stack
Fire Strategy
