Fire Bloodline

Type: Bloodline
Sources: Dragon #311
Dragon Compendium Vol. 1

One of your ancestors was a creature of elemental fire. Your physical characteristics might vary with the type of elemental creature from which you are descended, but you're likely to have wild red or coal black hair, and either smoky gray or golden eyes. Your heritage probably stems from one of the humanoid-shaped beings from the Plane of Elemental Fire, although elemental fire creatures native to the Material Plane can contribute this bloodline as well.
The Descendants of azers see fire as a tool, and they love crafts that control the power of flame. They tend to prefer a regimented life and usually keep their destructive natures in tight check, although they are no less dangerous because of that forbearance. The descendants of fire mephits have a mischievous nature and enjoy destructive pranks, while characters with steam mephits in their ancestry consider themselves above such behavior and often look down on others with considerable arrogance. Fire giant spawn can be ruthless in achieving their goals, and even others with fire blood see them as brutal. None, however, can be as cruel as the descendants of salamanders.
Usually hot-tempered and unpredictable, characters with the Fire Bloodline feat can also be passionate, egotistical, and unusually prone to destructive behavior. They usually adventure for a chance at personal gain and glory. Fire holds a primal fascination and fear for most creatures, and scions of this bloodline use that to their advantage, often choosing mind-affecting spells to supplement their preferred destructive flame spells.

Benefit: Your ancestry gives you a bonus spell known at each spell level, starting at 1st, according to the following list.

*The subject's tongue resembles a tongue of flame.
**The fog produced has a smoky smell and quality.
Special: If a character takes this feat any time after 1st level and has already learned any of the spells on this list in the class that granted him access to this feat, he gains no additional spells known at those spell levels.
