Next time fire salamanders

 Give helpers. Tiny fire elementals (or fire snakes, 3.5e stats are good, paralyze a few rounds)… a bunch!! Surround. +2 flanking. Maybe +4 flanking special. 

I think give resistance to slashing??  MaybE.   Think fire lava children and their resists physical attacks

  • Smallies maybe can mob attack to auto hit or burn  

  • *maaaaybe i'll have the small ones merge into a biiiig one, and it'll speak once (rare) in a voice of all 10 little ones together. Deep and weird.
  •  OOORRRR all the smalls hold them at bay while far away, giant bonfire, drow summon another fire Huge fire elemental. Use 3.5e elder stats. DMG REDUCTION 10. +18 to hit. BLINDFIGHT.

  • Imprint on ur party mind of the ElderElementalGod - the elementals yell out the n many voices-at the moment of merging the smaller elementals into the LARGE MINI i have
  • Statblock for elder fire elemental https://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/elemental.htm
    • 35 ft tall!!!!
    • Blindsight on 2 biggest
    • Two darkness cast on it drom drow to hide it and more darkness cast on party
    • Cast light spell to counter… arcana knowledge check


***note in 2e dnd, gotta summon elementals. The Drow did it!!  A big fire pit with them coming out. 

* 2e had 3 sizes, and biggest were 18 hitdice! Bigger or same HitDice than a dragon. Was +15 to hit (thAC0 was 5 on that one). 


So why does the fire salamander in 2e's art have the deer antlers, sort of similar to east Asia's dragons? I don't know, but I think I like it. Although the guy's face is a little less scary and more cartoony... still pretty cool I think. Those are fire snakes hanging out with him.
