Summary: Fire. The Hellfire destroyer is a mage whose body has been through the devastating heat of the Hellfire. The presence of the Hellfire in his very soul does not consume him like the others, instead, he takes power from it becoming one with the flame itself, sharing the instinct of burning everything in his path.
Length: 10 levels; minimum level: 7.
HellFire Destroyer
There is no art behind the HellFire Destroyer, only few mages whose body have experienced and overcome the fire of hell upon their skin can wield completely the power of the Hellfire. They spread terror and destruction, whoever cross their way will know the true meaning of suffering and will experience the pain of hell even before death, the nature of the HellFire Destroyer brings him to a path of destruction. Their body is just a vehicle through which the most terrifying powers of the Hellfire are displayed at their full potential.
Becoming a HellFire Destroyer
The HellFire destroyer's power takes origin from his very soul, constantly enveloped by the HellFire, his spellcasting abilities allow him to use it in ways no other mage have ever dared to. It embodies the strenght that only the purity of the Element fire can give making the sorcerer an outstanding fighter without recurring to his usual spells.

Campaign Information
Playing a HellFire Destroyer
Combat: The HellFire destroyer possesses an high resistance which allows him to engage close quarter fights even without using spells, being a very versatile fighter, the HellFire Destroyer doesn't need to be protected or behind the rest of the group like other mages, instead he often takes the lead of an offensive action.
Advancement: A HellFire Destroyer will advance into another spellcasting class; one that may allow it to have more command over his area of effect spells or increase his caster level to squeeze more power out of fire spells. The Archmage is useful because of its Master of Shaping and Spell Power abilities.
Resources: The HellFire destroyer has a strict bond with the Fire Element, as it is the true source of his power he avoids being in cold or wet environments.
The HellFire Destroyer in the World
HellFire Destroyers bring the terror amongst the weaker, if not under control of a wise mind, such power is source of pain and sufferance for many.The gift of the HellFire is received by both forces of evil and good making people suspicious and afraid of such spellcasters. There are few many HellFire Destroyers on Earth and most of all prefer to live alone near , far away from other people.
NPC Reactions: HellFire destroyers are a rare kind of mages, in many parts of the world they remain unknown to common people, but wherever the memory is still present, they are feared.Other spellcasters usually mistake them for highly expert pyromancers.
HellFire Destroyer Lore
Characters with ranks in Knowledge (Arcana) can research HellFire Destroyer to learn more about them. When a character makes a skill check, read or paraphrase the following, including information from lower DCs.
| DC | Result |
|---|---|
| 11 | HellFire Destroyers are wizard whose power come from the element fire. |
| 16 | HellFire destroyers drain their power from the heat around them. |
| 21 | A HellFire destroyer can combust anything with the power of his mind. |

Pyromancer in the Game
Pyromancers are casters who have an unhealthy obsession with fire. They can be from anywhere; but they also, like Cryomancers, can be from the frozen wastelands, using their fires to keep people hot, rather than using the cold. But, ultimately, pyromania is just inherent in a lot of people who want to see things burn!
Adaptation: Pyromancers may already exist; they are the blasters who love to set things alight, they want to watch the world burn, or they want to study the fires with delight. They are wherever mages are and they exist to blast.
Sample Encounter: Bargstaan Drior is a Half-Orc HellFire Destroyer who is exterminating the Village of Haldenburg near the Volcano Onocnatu.
