Fire mephit (familiar)
From NWNWiki
Fire mephits can fling bolts of fire.
Pulled from the elemental planes, mephits are cunning and swift opponents. These small creatures can be quite hard to kill and also quite deadly.

[edit] Special abilities
Fire mephit familiars have 100% immunity to fire damage, but 50% vulnerability to cold damage. They are also immune to mind-affecting spells and have damage reduction, regeneration, and spell resistance that increases with their master's level. They can use a fire bolt, with the number of uses dependent on their master's level, and at later levels their natural weapons (claws) get an enhancement bonus. Their claws were intended to improve to 1d6 base damage at level 35, then to 1d8 at level 40, but due to a bug, fire mephit familiars have no creature weapon at these levels and resort to unarmed strikes with a base damage of 1d2 (and no enhancement bonus).
| master level | claw enhancement | damage reduction | regeneration | spell resistance | fire bolt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5/+1 | +2 | 10 | 1x/day | |
| 5 | 5/+1 | +2 | 12 | 2x/day | |
| 10 | 5/+1 | +2 | 14 | 3x/day | |
| 15 | +2 | 5/+1 | +2 | 16 | 4x/day |
| 20 | +3 | 5/+2 | +3 | 18 | 5x/day |
| 25 | +4 | 5/+3 | +3 | 18 | 5x/day |
| 30 | +5 | 5/+4 | +4 | 18 | 5x/day |
[edit] Notes
- The level 35 to 40 versions of this familiar are bugged in that they have no creature weapon and must fight unarmed. This means they lose their enhancement bonus, deal less base damage, and provoke attacks of opportunity.
- A fix for this bug is available here.
