Bastian Thermandar

D&D 2024 monster: Bastian Thermandar. Source: Princes of the Apocalypse. challenge rating 8, creature type Humanoid (Genasi), Medium size, speed 30 ft. Like many in the fire cult, Bastian burns with an inner fire, but his fire is ambition, rather than a wish to see the world burn. Bastian is scheming to supplant Vanifer and claim Tinderstrike for himself. As a practitioner of the arcane arts who learned much of his fire magic from Vanifer herself, Bastian relies on his spells in a fight, and he is a "quick-burning" sort who tries to deliver maximum impact early in the fight. If he knows a fight is coming but can't preemptively strike, Bastian becomes more cautious, casting wall of fire to protect himself before he hurls magic into the fray. Humanoid (Genasi) Medium 30 ft.
