Aura faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Weight 1 lb.; Slot none; Price 2,000 gp (standard), 4,500 gp (greater)

DESCRIPTION

This small crude-looking drum is attached to a strap long enough to loop around the wearer's neck. A successful DC 12 Perform (percussion) check activates the drum, which enhances any nearby natural or magical fire as long as the bearer spends a move action each round to continue playing. All fires (including fire spells and effects) within 30 feet of the player deal an additional 1 point of fire damage (or 2 points for the greater version).

All unattended flammable alchemical objects such as tindertwigs, flasks of oil or alchemist's fire, and fireworks within this range have a 10% chance of spontaneously igniting or exploding (as appropriate to the item) when the drum activates. This chance increases by 5% each round and is checked at the start of the performer's turn as long as the playing continues.

A greater goblin fire drum has all the above abilities and can create pyrotechnics once per day.
