A Bridge to delta a Pyromancer
I recently read this post https://as-they-must.blogspot.com/2024/11/give-weight-to-smoke-glog-class.html of a pyromancer barbarian and i love the idea of delta classes but so far found it hard to make deltas work in play. Here I am less trying to make a delta class but instead trying to build a bridge which can be used to develop a plethora of delta advancements or just insert an existing delta pyromancer into while having a mechanicly playble chasis at the core.
This will be played by one of my players in my ongoing campaign so maybe i will make a follow up post with some insight i gained from play experience.
Also if able go protest the injustices of this world.
From the river to the see Palestine will be Free!

You express your devotion to your g_ddess of flames by demonstrating your trust.
You must thrust an unburned part of your body into a bonfire or grasp a burning brand to unlock your g_ddess powers. The more powerful the fire the more power you are granted.
Roll Xd6 depending on the fires power.
Singeltons: penalty of [Highest] to body part
Doubles: singelton + take 2x[Highest Double]
Tripples: double + scar body part
Quadrupple: double + incincerate body part(permanently destroyed)
You gain Rage Dice(RD) equal to the dice you rolled. RD are d6 and when used rolls of 1,2,3 return to your pool. You have fire resistance equal to your RD pool.
Vain Things
If you cast it into flames someones name or picture, you will learn whether the fire considers their hands to be Spotless, Stained or Dripping with Crimson and the answer to one of the following questions
- their name
- their physical appearance
- the sound of their voice
- the location of their hearth
- their most notable deed
- who it is they serve If you burn a poppet that wears some piece of their clothing, with some scrap of their hair on its head, with some of their blood in its heart, and with a lovingly-detailed face, you can learn all of the following pieces of information:
- their exact current location
- their next immediate course of action
- what they love most
- what they fear most
Rage
Whenever you take dmg you enter a rage, you may roll a d6 and i you roll over your rage pool you remain calm.
You also enter a rage by touching a bonfire or setting yourself on fire.
While you are in rage you may use pyromancy powers fitting to your burned body parts.
- Create a Fire Bolt that can be thrown like a dagger and deals d6 + [highest] fire dmg (Burned Fingers)
- Extend a 15 ft cone of fire from your hand, ignite flammable objects and deal [sum] fire dmg to creatures that fail a Reflex Save. (Burned Hands)
- Exhale Smoke that fills [Dice] 5x5 ft squares with smoke. (Burned Lips)
- Turn your skin into blazing iron gaining [Dice] dmg resistance and deal [highest] dmg to all that touch you(Burn Large areas of skin). Burning Chakra points might be a cool idea to gain acces to new delta powers
Fireball
There is not one way to summon the fire ball. Everyone needs to invite their own way to bring the g_ddess herself to show up.
