Special Abilities

Enhanced Durability 1 (Ex) Extinguishinators have +1 racial bonus to their saving throws and 1 additional hit point per HD.

Enhanced Protection 2 (Ex) Extinguishinators have +2 deflection bonus to AC and +2 resistance bonus to saving throw.

Fire Warning (Ex) Extinguishinators can sense presence of fire magic and intense mundane fires from up to a mile away. They can pin-point fire-based magic effects and items, as well as creatures with fire subtype from up to 60 feet as if they were using blindsense. They can always make untrained Knowledge and Spellcraft checks to identify fire-based magic effects and items, hazards, and creatures with fire subtype. They get a racial bonus equal to half their HD to all such checks.

Float (Ex) Extinguishinators float a few inches over the ground or water while moving, ignoring difficult terrain and moving over water or other surface that should not support their considerable weight. Extinguishinator that is knocked prone requires a full-round action to spring back to vertical position, but does not provoke attacks of opportunity while doing so.

Snow Spray (Ex) Extinguishinators main firefighting tool and weapon is a spray of intensely cold white mist that suppresses fire and drains heat within 30-ft. cone-shaped spread, dealing 10d4 points of cold damage and blinding for 1 round. A successful Reflex saving throw (DC 17) halves the damage and prevents blindness. The saving throw DC is Dexterity-based.

Extinguishinators are machines on an universal crusade against fire itself. They travel the worlds extinguishing all the fires they come across, destroying fire-based items, and eliminating creatures of fire. While they don't bear actual ill will toward living beings, they also show little understanding for necessary use of fire, such as warming houses in colder climates, cooking food, or metalworking–if fire burns, it must be extinguished.

Scorchinators (CR 7) are a splinter faction of extinguishinators, which seek to to fight fire with fire–literally. They are waging an aggressive campaign of defeating fire by controlled burning of anything that could possibly burn, leaving behind only ashes. They have a flame spray instead of snow spray, having replaced cooling foam with quick-burning gas, which deals 10d6 points of fire damage, but causing no blindness, and their melee attacks have fire-bane property, receiving +2 enhancement bonus to attack and damage, and dealing 2d6 points of bonus damage against all creatures with fire subtype.
