Very minor niggle. Air, Fire and Water have a slight cut'n'paste error in Level Adjustment.

I don't believe that's a cut & paste error, more that the server's stopped recognizing the em-dash character. I've noticed it in some other stat blocks today.

Ah... I guess that explains it.

Indeed...and it's quite irritating, as it permanently alters the post during editing.

Ready for feats?

Yes!

It'll have some overlap with the Air Elemaster, so let's look at that:

Air Elemaster Feats: Alertness, Blind-Fight, Blinding Speed (x2), Cleave, Combat Expertise, Combat Reflexes, Devastating Critical (slam), Dire Charge, Divine Might, Dodge, Epic Fortitude, Epic Reflexes, Epic Skill Focus (Knowledge [the planes]), Epic Will, Flyby Attack, Great Cleave, Improved Combat Reflexes, Improved Critical (slam), Improved Flyby Attack, Improved Initiative (B), Improved Whirlwind Attack, Iron Will, Mobility, Overwhelming Critical (slam), Power Attack, Sidestep Charge, Spring Attack, Superior Initiative, Weapon Finesse (B), Weapon Focus (slam), Whirlwind Attack

That includes almost all the feats in the Fire "elemental peers". I suppose we could make it a bit less "Airy" by swapping the two Flyby feats for something more "Fiery".

After all, the Fire Elemaster doesn't have a Fly speed, so won't get any use out of Flyby unless it uses flight magic.

Speaking of which, does the Air Elemaster need Spring Attack, since it has those two Flyby feats and lacks a land speed?

Yeah, let's remove those.

Well, no, except it needs it to keep its Whirlwind Attack feats.

Also, doesn't Spring Attack render Improved Flyby Attack redundant?

 

[Cleon]

Yes it does. It doesn't make Flyby Attack redundant though, since that allows any standard action (i.e. spellcasting), not just an attack.

We can swap the Air Elemaster's Improved Flyby Attack for something else though. Another Epic Prowess?

That'll do.

Suggestions for the two replacement feats for fire elemaster?

The bit with the emdash is due to Morrus's new twitter-like hash tag feature. Go check out the "Test" thread in the Meta forum!

Reckless Offense for one feat, maybe?
