Most start out as wizards or druids, but sorcerers are not uncommon as well. Many reside in coastal towns and cities and earn a living accompanying sailing ships on their voyages, using their powers to protect the ship from storms, as well as pirates, monsters, and other threats.Hit die: d4Requirements:To become a Storm Mage, a character must fulfill all the following criteria:Spells: Must be able to cast at least 5 different spells with one of the Air, Cold or Electricity descriptors, one of which must be 3rd level or higher.Skills: Knowledge (Nature) 10 ranks, Survival 4 ranksFeats: Combat Casting, Great Fortitude, Spell Focus (Conjuration)Special: Must have spent at least a full day exposed to extremes of weather without protection. Must have taken damage from a magical electricity, cold or air effect.Class Skills: The Storm Mages class skills, and the key ability for each skill are: Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Handle Animal (Cha), Knowledge (Arcana) (Int), Knowledge (Geography) (Int), Knowledge(Nature) (Int), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int) and Survival (Wis)Number of Skill Points at Each Level: 2+ Intelligence ModifierClass Features:All of the following are class features of the Storm MageWeapon and Armor proficiency: A Storm Mage gains no proficiency in any weapons or armor.Spellcasting: a Storm Mage continues to train in magic. For every Storm Mage level gained, the characters caster level, spells known, and spells per day increase as though he had gained a level in a spellcasting class he belonged to prior to taking the prestige class. If the character belonged to more than one spellcasting class prior to taking the prestige class, he must decide which class to add each level of Storm Mage to for purposes of spellcasting. This does not increase any other class abilities based on level such as a Druid’s wildshape ability or a wizard’s bonus feats.Storm Magic: Upon becoming a Storm Mage, the character gains access to the Storm Mage spell list. He may learn, prepare and cast these spells as normal for a member of his class. For instance, a Wizard may add the spells to his spell book, and a Druid may decide to prepare them when preparing spells for the day.  Additionally, if the character prepares spells (Like a Wizard, Druid, or Cleric), he may prepare an extra Storm Mage spell at each spell level he can cast each day. Likewise, if the character doesn’t prepare spells but knows a limited number (Like a Sorcerer) the character gains an additional Storm Mage spell known at each spell level they can cast. This benefit continues as the character gains levels, so for instance a character who is a Sorcerer 7/ Storm Mage 2 can learn 2 5th level spells, one of which must be from the Storm Mage spell list.Resistance (Su): a Storm Mage learns to resist the elements and energies of storms and weather. At second level, the Storm Mage gains resistance 5 to cold or electricity effects (Players choice). Every 2 levels thereafter, the Storm Mage gains an additional 5 points of resistance that may be applied to any of these 3 elements or energies as the character sees fit. So a 3rd level Storm Mage has 10 points of resistance, and may choose to have Cold Resistance 5 and Electricity resistance 5, or Cold Resistance 10. The resistance must be assigned in 5 point increments, otherwise it can be used as the Storm Mage sees fit.Storm Power (Ex): A Storm Mage learns to master spells relating to storms and weather. At 1st level, the Storm Mage gains a +1 bonus to caster level when casting Storm Mage spells. this bonus increases by +1 at every third level thereafter (4th, 7th etc).Storm Sight (Su): Continuing his attunement with the forces of weather, at 2nd level, a Storm Mage’s sight is not impeded by any sort of weather effects, natural or magical, be it rain, snow or wind. The Storm Mage may see in such conditions as though they did not exist.Weather Eye (Ex): Storm Mages become increasingly in tune with the forces of weather. At 3rd level, a Storm Mage may predict the weather with absolute accuracy. He is able to predict the weather within a radius of 1 mile per point of Wisdom bonus, and up to 1 day into the future per point of Wisdom bonus, with a minimum of 1 mile radius and 1 day into the future.Stormshaper:  at 3rd level, once per day a Storm Mage may cast a single Storm Mage spell that has an area, and change the area to one of the following options: Cylinder (10 ft radius, 30 ft high), 40-foot cone, four 10-ft cubes, or a ball (20 ft radius spread).  At 8th level, he may use this ability twice per day. Ignore Winds (Su): As a Storm Mage gains in knowledge he becomes able to ignore the effects of weather conditions. At 5th level, the Storm Mage totally ignores any negative effects of local wind speed. He is never moved or slowed against his will by winds, and need not make Concentration checks to cast spells in high winds. This ability even applies to winds generate by spells and spell-like abilities of 7th level and lower, and grants a +2 bonus to any saves or checks the Storm Mage may need to make against spells or spell like abilities of higher levels.Ride the Winds (Su): A Storm Mage learns to manipulate the forces of weather and storms to his own best advantage. At 6th level, whenever a Storm Mage is in an area where the wind speed exceeds 30 miles per hour, he may fly as though under the effects of a Fly spell cast at 15th level. This effect remains as long as the wind speed around the Storm Mage remains over 30 miles per hour, or until the Storm Mage decides to stop using it. This ability is activated by winds created by spells or supernatural abilities.Summon Lightning Or Hail (Sp): A Storm Mage eventually learns to call on the destructive power of the storm to harm his enemies. When in an area with a storm in the sky, or even hot and cloudy conditions, a Storm Mage of 9th level or higher may call down up to three bolts of lighting or blasts of hail. Either effect is a cylinder 5 ft in diameter and deals 6d8 points of electricity damage (for Lightning Bolts) or 3d8 points of bludgeoning damage and 3d8 points of cold damage (for Hail).Storm Master: at 10th level, the Storm Mage reach’s the pinnacle of his power. Twice per day, he may use Control Weather as a Supernatural ability, and becomes completely immune to all negative natural weather effects including winds, hail, cold and lightningStorm Mage Spell List0th level:1st Level: Endure Elements, Faerie Fire, Obscuring Mist, Shocking Grasp, Vortex*2nd Level:Fog Cloud, Resist Elements3rd Level:Call Lightning, Gust of Wind, Lightning Bolt, Protection From Elements, Sleet Storm, Wind Wall4th Level:Ice Storm, Solid Fog5th level:Cloudkill, Control Winds6th Level:Acid Fog, Chain Lighting, Control Water, Control Weather, Whirlwind Blast*7th level:Blizzard*, Power Word: Stun, Windwalk8th Level:Whirlwind9th level:Elemental Swarm (Air or Water only), Storm of VengeanceWhirlwind BlastTransmutation [Air]Wiz/Sor 6, Dru 7Components: V, SRange: Close (25 ft +5 ft/2 levels)Area: ConeDuration: 1 roundSaving Throw: See TextSpell Resistance: YesThis spell projects a swirling tornado towards your enemies.

Additionally, any creature that takes damage from the spell is numbed with cold for the duration and can only take a single standard or move action each round. A creature is allowed a Fortitude save each round to reduce that rounds damage by half, and negate the numbing for that round. Material Component: A white opal worth at least 500 GP</blockquote>
