Otherworldly Patron: Primal Elementals

Otherworldly
Patron:
Primal Elemental

You seek to channel the power of nature itself, so you have made a pact with a raw force of nature--a Primal Elemental. Primal Elementals are primordial spirits, embodiments and manifestations of nature, and their motivations are often varied and vague, but they all have an unmatched penchant for causing massive destruction, laying waste to entire villages on a whim.

Primal Elemental

There are six types of Primal Elementals: Fire, Frost, Tempest, Water, Earth and Toxin. Each of the Primal Elementals represents certain elements of nature as well as the disasters associated with them, such as typhoons, earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis.

The Primal Elementals may could be any of the following: massive embodiments of the elements that cause destruction in their wake, incredibly powerful Genies, Giants and Dragons, sentient god-like beings with their own agenda, or even actual gods.

Elemental Ally

First Level Feature

You can speak, read, and write Primordial and can commune flawlessly with all elementals.

Master of The Element

First Level Feature

When you deal elemental damage to a creature corresponding with the patron you picked, you deal extra d4 damage equal to half the amount of damage die rolled of the same type. This effect does not consider other types of damage, even if they originate from the same source. For example, a Flame Tongue would only deal an additional 1d4 points of fire damage if your patron is the Primal Elemental of Fire. Refer to the Primal Elemental Damage Types table.

Primal Elemental Damage Types

Element-Worn

Sixth Level Feature

Your mastery and casual exposure to the elements of your patron have caused your body to grow more callous
towards them. Starting at sixth level, you gain
resistance to the elements of your patron, as seen in
the Primal Elemental Damage Types table. If your
patron is a water Elemental, you gain swimming
speed equal to your walking speed as well as the
ability to breathe underwater.

A Force of Nature

Sixth Level Feature

You've spent a long time perfecting your relationship with the element of your Primal Elemental patron. Using a bonus action, you may call on the power of your patron, granting yourself a damaging, 10-foot aura that deals 3d4 damage, determined by your patron, to everyone starting their turn within range. You may use an action to expend your aura, choosing a point that you can see and forcing all enemies within a 10-foot-radius sphere to make a dexterity saving throw or take 6d4 damage or half as much on a successful save and turning that area into difficult terrain.

At higher levels, the amount of damage die increases to equal your proficiency bonus for the aura and twice your proficiency bonus for the attack. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Elemental Resistance

Tenth Level Feature

Your patron has granted you a shield, melding their elements with your body. Starting at tenth level, you have gained Magic Resistance, granting you advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Elemental Form

Fourteenth Level Feature

Variant Rule: Mystic Arcanum Expanded Spell List

Minute Blizzard

2nd-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 100 feet
• Components: S, V
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You select a point within range, conjuring a blizzard centered on that point. The blizzard is contained within a 5-foot radius, 40-foot high cylinder.

When a creature enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it is stung by the frigid winds, and it must make a Constitution saving throw. It takes 2d10 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Additionally, any creatures within the cylinder have halved movement speed and their sight is obscured.

On each of your turns after you cast this spell, you can use an action to move the beam up to 60 feet in any direction direction.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 2nd.

Classes: Druid, Wizard

Acid Barrage

3rd-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You create six blobs of acid in your space. They cover your body like armour for the spell's duration. When you cast the spell—and as a bonus action on each of your turns thereafter—you can expend one or two of the blobs, sending them streaking toward a point or points you choose within 120 feet of you. Once a blob reaches its destination or impacts against a solid surface, the blob explodes. Each creature within 5 feet of the point where the meteor explodes must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d4 acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Additionally, each time a creature lands a melee attack on you they must make a Constituation saving throw, taking 3d4 acid damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one and reducing your blobs by 1.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the number of blobs created increases by two for each slot level above 3rd.

Classes: Sorceror, Wizard
