Outlandish Adventure Productions presents:
The Elementalist, a half-caster class of primordial power with a martial arts flair! Elementalists control the raw energies of the four Prime Elements through forming a connection to the Elemental Planes. With their Elemental Strike, a versatile blast of raw elemental energy that acts as a weapon, an elementalist can strike from nearly any position on the battlefield, and can do so with style. Elementalists are defined by their choice of Prime Element, which determines the element over which they hold sway, as well as their spell list and spellcasting ability, and their choice of Control Style, which influences how they approach combat and exploration. This combination of choices leads to an incredible amount of build diversity.
Prime Elements
Air - You've formed a connection with the Plane of Elemental Air, a realm of unending sky and untainted breeze. This tranquil realm's energies are best controlled by an elementalist who's achieved spiritual tranquility, making your spellcasting ability Wisdom. Your features and spells emphasize mobility and controlling enemy positioning.
Earth - You've formed a connection with the Plane of Elemental Earth, a realm of stillness and great expanses of stone and rock. This stubborn and willful realm requires an elementalist of even greater force of will to control its energies, making your spellcasting ability Charisma. Your features and spells emphasize durability and environmental control.
Fire - You've formed a connection with the Plane of Elemental Fire, a realm of inexhaustible flame and devouring conflagrations. This ambitious and passionate realm's energies can best be controlled by an elementalist of strong emotions and ardor, making your spellcasting ability Charisma. Your features and spells emphasize dazzling your enemies and burning them to a crisp.
Water - You've formed a connection with the Plane of Elemental Water, a realm of constant rhythm, the ebb and flow of the tides. The energies of this flowing realm are best controlled by an elementalist who can perceive and join water's natural dance, making your spellcasting ability Wisdom. Your features and spells emphasize increasing your allies' effectiveness and locking your enemies down.
Control Styles
Avatar - You form weaker connections with the other Elemental Planes, allowing you to tap into their energies and choose spells from the other elementalist spell lists.
Contractor - You train in the arts of stealth and assassination, increasing the range of your elemental strike and learning methods for avoiding detection.
Spirit Bridge - You expand your awareness of realms outside the Material Plane to include the Ethereal Plane, granting you a special bond with spirits.
Warrior - You train in the art of weapon warfare, learning to weave weapon attacks betwixt your elemental strikes.
Also, the Elementalist Class comes with 9 new spells usable by elementalists and a number of other classes!
And in the Outlandish Elements supplement, there are even more options for playing an elementalist!
