Charisma Drain (Su): Living creatures hit by a cinderspawn's touch attack must make a DC 18 Fortitude save or take 1d6 points of Charisma drain. (Creatures with the fire subtype take a -4 penalty on this save.) When a cinderspawn drains a victim's Charisma, it gains 5 temporary hit points, no matter how many points it drains. These temporary hit points last for up to 1 hour. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Elemental Turning Vulnerability (Ex): A character who can turn undead and also turn fire creatures gains a +2 bonus on turning checks to turn a cinderspawn.

Frostfire Shield (Su): Any creature striking a cinderspawn with a natural attack or a melee weapon (except for reach weapons) takes 1d6 points of cold damage as the cinderspawn drains its body heat.

Inescapable Craving: A cinderspawn has an inescapable craving (see Undead Metabolism) for Charisma, which it satisfies by using its Charisma drain ability.

A cinderspawn chooses targets carefully, using its Mobility and Spring Attack feats to reach vulnerable opponents that might otherwise be protected by comrades.

Cinderspawn are burnt-out undead remnants of creatures of elemental fire. They hate living creatures for their warmth and seek to destroy all such beings.

Like a fire elemental, a cinderspawn cannot enter water or any other nonflammable liquid. A body of water is an impassable barrier for a cinderspawn unless the creature can step or jump over it. A cinderspawn stands 12 feet tall and weighs 200 pounds.

Fire Subtype

A creature with the fire subtype has immunity to fire. It has vulnerability to cold, which means it takes half again as much (+50%) damage as normal from cold, regardless of whether a saving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or failure.
