Imps

Fire Imp

Many old tomes mention imps of all elements, but the only imp seen since the Return is the fire imp. They are small, agile, and clever. They are 3 feet tall and weigh about 30 lbs. Bat-like wings allow them to fly, and wicked claws are their primary form of attack.

They have a weakness to cold, but they can issue forth fire from their fanged mouths. They are often found in the service of more powerful Navirite creatures or dark mages.

Flame Burst

Three times per day, a fire imp exhales a 15’ cone of flame. Creatures within the area suffer 2d6 fire damage.

A successful Difficult Dodge check reduces the damage by half.

Fireborn

Fire imps are immune to fire damage and suffer no harm from extreme environmental heat.

Flame Healing

While in direct contact with a flame at least as large as a torch, a fire imp regenerates 2 HP at the beginning of each round. Extinguishing or removing the imp from the flame immediately ends the regeneration.

Earth Imp

Earth imps are squat, dense Navirites whose rough bodies resemble cracked stone and packed soil. They are patient by imp standards, frequently remaining motionless for hours before suddenly emerging from the earth to attack.

Their affinity with stone makes them the toughest of the common imps.

Vibration Sense

An earth imp senses moving creatures in contact with the same earth or stone within 30’, even when those creatures are hidden or cannot be seen.

Stoneform

When an earth imp remains motionless against natural earth or stone, it becomes nearly indistinguishable from its surroundings and gains +30% Hide.

Water Imp

Water imps are slick-skinned Navirites that inhabit rivers, swamps, coastlines, wells, flooded ruins, and subterranean pools. They are mischievous ambush predators and are considerably more dangerous when fighting near water.

Their small bodies can propel water with enough force to throw a grown warrior from their feet.

Amphibious

A water imp breathes normally in air and water and suffers no penalties for acting underwater.

Water Jet

Three times per day, the imp unleashes a high-pressure 20’ line of water. Creatures struck suffer 2d6 damage. A successful Dodge check avoids the jet. A creature that fails must also succeed at an opposed STR Heroic Action against the imp or be knocked 5’ backward and prone.

Rushing Water

While completely submerged in natural water, the imp’s Swim increases to 70’ and its Dodge increases by +10%.

Wind Imp

Wind imps are swift, erratic Navirites whose bodies seem almost weightless. They spend most of their time airborne, darting between opponents and disappearing into gusts of dust and debris before their enemies can retaliate.

Of the four common varieties, wind imps are the fastest and most difficult to pin down.

Flyby

A wind imp may divide its movement before and after making an attack, provided its total movement does not exceed its Fly speed.

Gale Burst

Three times per day, a wind imp releases a violent 15’ cone of compressed air. Creatures within the area suffer 1d8 wind damage and must succeed at an opposed STR Heroic Action against the imp or be knocked 10’ backward and prone.

Windform

Once per day, a wind imp may partially dissolve into the surrounding air for 1 minute. While in Windform, it gains +20% Dodge and +20% Stealth and may move through openings as narrow as 1 inch. It cannot pass through solid objects.

Reagents & Remnants

Elemental Gland – Reagent

A small organ near the imp’s heart contains concentrated elemental energy. Its nature corresponds to the imp’s affinity: Fire, Earth, Water, or Wind.

Elemental glands are commonly used in crafting magical items and effects associated with that element.
