Looking for D&D 3.x elemental related base/prestiege classes
I'm looking to inspect as many elemental (water, air, fire, earth, lightning, etc.) as I can. I wonder if anyone could tell where I could find some more. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
These are the ones I'm know of:
Elemental Savant from Complete Arcane
Enlightened Fist from Complete Arcane
Frost Mage from Frostburn
Frostrager from Frostburn
Rimefire Witch from Frostburn
Elemental Warrior from Planar Handbook
Blüdfrost Cavalier from D&D Wiki
Direfrost Knight from D&D Wiki
Disciple of the Undying Cold from D&D Wiki
Earth Vanguard from D&D Wiki
Earthen from D&D Wiki
Elemental Warrior, Earth from D&D Wiki
Elemental Warrior, Water from D&D Wiki
Fire Born from D&D Wiki
Frost Knight from D&D Wiki
Thunder Cleaves from D&D Wiki
Water Shaper from D&D Wiki
At first, I was just gonna click in and respond "Elemental Savant", and then I saw your list, which is more comprehensive than anything I could come up with. I daresay that if none of those classes has what you want, you may want to consider taking a different class whose mechanics you like and "reskinning" it as an elementalist.
Oh, and your user name has suddenly, and quite unexpectedly, gotten me jonesing to play Napoleon's Battles again. Auerstädt is the funnest. Scenario. Ever.

They don't have to be an elementalist. They just have to have some connection to at least one elemental source. Thanks to you and everyone contributing.
About half way down the enworld 3.5 downloads page is a flamekin race and brightsoul class I made a while ago. It's very fiery, combining fire spells and fire-related maneuvers from Tome of Battle into one class. It might be broken, though; as far as I know no one (except me, for just a couple sessions) ever tested it :P

If you're interested in templates, etc, that one can slap on elementals, there is always the demonically fused template from DRAGON #285. I've been toying with a few ideas for water elemental templates, including Styx-Poisoned, Potable Gold, Oerthblood-Infused, Blackwater-Tainted, and Pearl-Laced.
