His class abilities also only function with regard to elementals or elemental planes of his favored elements.</p><p>As an elementalist gains mastery over more elements, he can channel more power to spells of elements he has favored longer. Much like a ranger’s favored enemy bonus, each additional favored element gives the elementalist a +1 bonus to all previous favored elements’ save DCs. Thus, if Krunkshank took earth as his first favored element, followed by fire and then air, his earth spell DCs are all increased by 2 and his fire DCs are increased by 1.

[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 355677, member: 1210"] Both Anvar and Krunkshank are members of the elementalist base class from my game, so I'm reposting it here (I posted it some time ago on the house rules forum). Included at the end this time is the Epic Level Elementalist info. The Elementalist The powers of the raw elements- Air, Earth, Fire and Water- are great, and they care little about the affairs of impure beings such as inhabit the Material Planes. But some individuals learn to tap into and channel their great energies nonetheless. These are the elementalists. Adventurers: Elementalist motivations for adventuring vary as much as, or more than, those of other classes. Some seek new knowledge of the elemental powers, some seek wealth or power. Characteristics: An elementalist’s magic is based on his constitution score (due to the strain of channeling such powerful energies). Many of their special abilities are based on charisma or wisdom, making these both important abilities for an elementalist. Alignment: An elementalist may be of any alignment; their divine patrons simply don’t care about them. Many tend towards neutrality or even evil, as greed and the hunger for power are often their prime motivations. Religion: Elementalists don’t generally care about the gods or philosophy, but instead revering the elements and elemental powers. These forces are the mightiest forces of all. With proper training, one can draw upon their powers for one’s own needs. Background: Elementalists exist in scattered pockets from Dorhaus to Strogass. Most of these are hidden enclaves and secret cults. Their reputation as a religion is forever tainted by the infamous Temple of Elemental Evil. Not all elementalists get along, however; in fact, the Temple of Elemental Evil was in large part overthrown by one. Races: Dwarves and gnomes both make excellent geomancers. The vast majority of other elementalists are human, but other races have been known to take up the mantle. Other Classes: Elementalists tend to view themselves as possessed of indisputably superior spellcasters, though others sometimes dispute this. They often clash with wizards and sorcerers due to this; they often clash with clerics because of their disregard for the gods, and they have ideas about nature that clash with those of druids. However, they make valuable companions due to their sheer raw power. GAME RULE INFORMATION Abilities: Constitution affects the elementalist’s spells and Fortitude saves (important for resisting the strain of their own spells; see below). A constitution of 10 + the spell’s level is required to cast an elemental spell. Alignment: Any Hit Die: d8 Class Skills: Bluff (cha), Climb (str), Concentration (con), Intimidate (cha), Jump (str), Knowledge (elements) (int), Scry (int), Sense Motive (wis), Spellcraft (int), Spot (wis), Swim (str), Wilderness Lore (wis). Skill points per level: 2 + int level (x4 at first level). Base Attack: Medium (as cleric) Good Saves: Fort Bad Saves: Ref and Will Level Special Abilities Spells Per Day 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 1st Favored Element 3 1 2 Perceive Elemental 4 2 0 3 Strain Resistance 1 4 2 1 4 Speak with Elemental 5 3 2 0 5 2nd Favored Element 5 3 2 1 6 Strain Resistance 2 6 3 3 2 0 7 Dismiss Elemental 6 4 3 2 1 8 Persuade Elemental 6 4 3 3 2 0 9 3rd Favored Element 7 4 4 3 2 1 10 Strain Resistance 5 7 4 4 3 3 2 0 11 Command Elemental 7 5 4 4 3 2 1 12 7 5 4 4 3 3 2 0 13 Strain Resistance 8 7 5 5 4 4 3 2 1 14 4th Favored Element 7 5 5 4 4 3 3 2 0 15 Plane Shift 1/day 7 5 5 4 4 4 3 2 1 16 Strain Resistance 10 7 5 5 5 4 4 3 3 2 17 7 5 5 5 5 4 3 3 2 1 18 Plane Shift 2/day 7 5 5 5 5 5 4 3 3 2 19 Strain Resistance 15 7 5 5 5 5 5 4 4 3 3 20 Plane Shift 3/day 7 5 5 5 5 5 4 4 4 4 Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Elementalists are proficient in all armor and shields and in all simple and martial weapons. Spells: Elementalist spells are some of the strongest magicks but are limited in versatility. An elementalist can only cast spells from his favored element lists. These are divine spells based on constitution. The DC to resist an elementalist spell is 10 + spell level + caster’s con modifier. Like other divine casters, an elementalist may not cast a spell of an opposed alignment (though aligned spells are rare on the elementalist list). Any time the elementalist casts a spell, he must make a Fort save against the spell’s save DC to avoid taking subdual damage from strain. The damage inflicted varies with the spell’s level, and the spell still takes effect normally. Spell Level- Strain 0.....1d2 1.....1d4 2.....1d6 3.....2d4 4.....2d6 5.....2d8 6.....3d6 7.....5d4 8.....4d6+1 9.....5d6 The character’s strain resistance, if any, reduces strain damage just as any energy resistance does. Favored Elements: The elementalist chooses his favored elements as he advances in level. He can select spells only from his favored element lists and those available to all elementalists. His class abilities also only function with regard to elementals or elemental planes of his favored elements. As an elementalist gains mastery over more elements, he can channel more power to spells of elements he has favored longer. Much like a ranger’s favored enemy bonus, each additional favored element gives the elementalist a +1 bonus to all previous favored elements’ save DCs. Thus, if Krunkshank took earth as his first favored element, followed by fire and then air, his earth spell DCs are all increased by 2 and his fire DCs are increased by 1. Elementalists who begin with air are often known as Aeromancers; those who start with earth as Geomancers; those who first master fire as Pyromancers; and those who take water as their first favored element, as Hydromancers. Perceive Elementals (Su): The elementalist can discriminate elementals from their surrounding element. For example, an elementalist can clearly see a water elemental even if it’s in water, a fire elemental in an inferno, etc. Elementals never gain from concealment in their element against an elementalist who favors that element. Speak With Elementals (Sp): The elementalist can communicate with creatures with the elemental type, or genies, of any of their favored elements. This power can be activated once per day for up to 10 minutes. Dismiss Elemental (Su): Once per day the elementalist may attempt to dismiss any elemental of a favored type within 60’, sending it back to its home plane. The elementalist must make a wisdom check (DC equal to the HD of the elemental plus the level of any spell or effect summoning it). This ability will affect up to 2 HD/class level of elemental creatures; all must be within 20’. This is a standard action. It does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Persuade Elemental (Ex): If the elementalist can communicate with an elemental or genie of his favored element, he can attempt to persuade it not to attack, to allow his party passage, etc, as long as it does not directly violate the elemental or genie’s instructions, alignment, or nature. The caster must make a charisma check (DC 15 + elemental or genie’s wis bonus). Command Elemental (Su): The elementalist may attempt to dominate an elemental of any of his favored types within 60’. This can be done once per day and will affect a single elemental of up to the elementalist’s hit dice. The target makes a Will save (DC 15 + Elementalist’s charisma bonus). If the elemental is already under the magical control of another creature, the elementalist and the other creature may make opposed charisma checks to control the creature from round to round.

The elementalist’s epic feats are focused on the elements. Another common path for epic level elementalists is to take up the paraelementalist prestige class. Other Options: Some epic level elementalists prefer to focus on item creation feats, as casting spells above 9th level- especially epic level elementalist spells- imposes horrible strain on the elementalist. Hit Die: d8 Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 2 + int modifier Elementalist Level Special 21 22 23 Bonus feat 24 25 26 Bonus feat 27 28 29 Bonus feat 30 Spells: The elementalist gains no additional spells per day after 20th level, but his caster level is equal to his class level. Strain: The strain for elementalist spells above 9th level is as follows: Spell Level Strain 10 6d6 11 7d6 12 9d6 13 11d6 14 13d6 15 15d6 Epic-Level: All epic-level spells deal 10d10 points of strain. The save DC is figured as though the spell level is ½ the Spellcraft DC of the spell. Bonus Feats: The elementalist gains a bonus feat (selected from the list of epic elementalist feats) every three levels. Bonus Elementalist Feats: Air Mastery, Armor Skin, Augmented Alchemy, Augmented Elemental Summoning, Automatic Quicken Spell, Automatic Silent Spell, Automatic Still Spell, Craft Epic Arms and Armor, Craft Epic Rod, Craft Epic Staff, Craft Epic Wondrous Item, Efficient Item Creation, Energy Resistance, Enhance Spell, Epic Endurance, Epic Fortitude, Epic Spell Focus, Epic Spell Penetration, Epic Spellcasting, Forge Epic Ring, Flame Master, Great Constitution, Improved Combat Casting, Improved Elemental Command, Improved Heighten Spell, Improved Spell Capacity, Intensify Spell, Multispell, One With the Earth, Permanent Emanation, Spell Stowaway, Tenacious Magic, Water Lord.

I'll post Anvar's stats before his disappearance when the steelship sank soon... and his stats after his reappearance a little later, after I get to that part in the story hour proper. [/QUOTE]
