The Elementalist

The Elementalist

Flying around the peak of a mountain, singing to the winds a Goliath launches lightning bolts at a host of giants, trespassers on his sacred hunting ground. Flames dance around the fingers of a dwarf as he sits in a shady tavern, ready at the first moment to unleash fireballs on his enemies. Leaping and striding a human waltzes across a field of battle calling to the waters in the ground to flood the plain with waves to heal her allies and wash away her enemies. Elementalists act as intermediaries with the very essences that make up the plane. Elementalists seek a perfect balance in all things, as the planes are balanced to create the plane, they use their access to primal energies to exact that balance with exacting precision.

A class built around the idea of purity of mind as the driving force behind all magic. The Elementalist harnesses the Primal floes of the Great Weave to manipulate the world to their liking. Four traditions are known to exist, these being Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

Scholars and Artisans

An elementalist is defined by their intrinsic connection to the elements that make up the worlds, Earth, Air, Fire and Water. All elementalists hunger for knowledge, of the worlds and its depths and most importantly how to control their place within it. Elementalists study to better their craft, but it is not a need inherent to their magical talents. Compared to other spellcasters the elementalists abilities tend to be more limited, so they must use their own ingenuity to utilize their gifts for maximum effect.

Each element has its own place and way of weaving through the world. Elementalists seek to replicate and balance these forces to keep the universe on its path of equilibrium. Many elementalists are artisans capable of crafting elaborate structures and mighty arms and armor, forged in the heat of a Fire elementalists breath. Some elementalists, those who mold Earth, seek to protect their friends and allies with stone barriers and crush their enemies beneath rocky fists, while others, those who conduct Air, weave through their enemies striking them in multitudes staying just out of reach. Those who wield Flame stand at a distance and extinguish their enemies with a snap of the fingers, while those who master Water freeze and slash their enemies and learn to heal grievous injuries.

Creating an Elementalist

When creating an elementalist it is important to determine what element they are in tune with. How does this element manifest itself in their life? Do they find that having an elemental connection fits their way of life or are they in conflict with their abilities? How did they first discover their attunement? In what ways do they enjoy showing their talents? This is a new class and the current existing spell lists leave a lot to be desired, so when you think of spell like abilities you might like to implement talk to your DM about how powerful this new ability will be and thus how much it may cost in Focus Points.
