If I light my mind on fire, and then douse my fists in gasoline, maybe.

[BDR]

Better question: Can you light your hands on fire without an accelerant such as gasoline or alcohol *and* keep your hands on fire for more than a few minutes without incurring serious burns?  I'd be rather inclined to call a feat like that magic.

[Earthquake Damage]

Well, if you have non-flammable prosthetic hands and you're wearing very slow-burning gloves...

Simply choose a flammable liquid with a low burning temperature, like ethanol(?). The lighting it with you mind is a bit harder.

Hey there. I used to mod in wizards to replace elves when I wanted a fun single companion in adventure mode.

Here is one of them:

I made it several versions ago though, so you should be able to see what needs fixin'.

NOTES- These guys work best barehanded, though I never bothered trying to find out how to disable their ability to wrestle.

Webs and firebreathing are both pretty overpowered, but webbing *especially*.

I'm rather proud of the spell chants, which are actually Elven =)

Another version of wizards I made had an extra main attack that summoned vipyrs to inject poison. Though I don't feel like digging it up, it was also quite fun.

Humorously, when these wizards fire their magical webs, it produces "Wizard silk".

Cheers.

[Wiles]

That's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

[Poil]

Very nice way to add "spells" without actual magic.

I think [DAMBLOCK] should be lower, in fact, in the negatives.

I thought so too, but with these guys looking their best barehanded, the complete lack of shield blocking and weapon parrying makes them die terribly fast.

Also this was originally just something I whipped up as a single adventuring companion that I wanted to last a while... but if you can figure out how to make him never wrestle, that should shift the balance enough to take off the damage block, I think.

I found that they died most often because they tended to grab onto an enemy uselessly, rendering themselves unable to jump away from an attack.

Change your [C]ombat preferences to Strike and Jump Away   See if that helps.

I was talking about the wizards as NPC's. I'm pretty sure I stated as much clearly enough.

Get him a magical wand as a weapon.
Mod in a Ranged weapon that fires crystals as ammo
