They are used to protect the villages and important locations within the forests. When the Llanowar elves go to war they lead platoons of warriors or work in small groups to go after high priority targets. Some members may be equipped with more powerful equipment, especially if on special assignment. Llanowar Elf EliteType: humanoid, elfSize: mediumCR: 8Hit Points: 11d8+22 (80)Mas: 14Init: +2Speed: 35 ftDefense:  20, touch 16, flatfoot 18 (10 +2 Dex +4 leather armour +4 Defense)BAB/Grp:  +8/+3 / +10FS/Reach: 5 ft / 5 ftAttacks: scimitar +8 melee (2d6+4 slashing) and scimitar +3 melee (2d6+4 slashing), or Spear +7 ranged (1d8+2 piercing)Special Attacks: Special Qualities: Innate spellcasting, darkvision 60 ft, call reinforcements*, elf traits, magic boost, powerful summonsAllegiances: Llanowar ElvesSaves: Fort +5, Reflex +9, Will +4Reputation: +3Abilities: Str 14, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 11, Wis 13, Cha 11Skills: Climb +9, Hide +9, Knowledge: Arcane Lore +4, Knowledge:  Earth and Life Sciences +4, Move Silently +9, Search +6, Spot +7, Survival +6Feats: Armour Proficiency (light), Archaic weapons proficiency, power attack, cleave, great cleavePossessions: magic leather armour, magic scimitar, 2 spears, rationsOrganization: Single, pairs, squad (4), or larger formations (leading 24 warriors).  CombatLlanowar Elites are some of the best warriors of the Llanowar elves have, that act as leaders, protectors of important members, and when they go to war they lead groups or function in small groups and target priority targets. They lead into combat by with their spears then switch to their magical scimitars. Against powerful targets they use their magical powers to boost themselves so they can overwhelm the target so their allies can focus on other targets. Innate SpellcastingThe elf's innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell DC 11). Can cast the following  spells, requiring no verbal or material components.At will: alarm (4 hours), ensnaring strike4/day: Acid arrow Magic BoostAs a standard action, once per day, the Llanowar Elite can channel magic to boost themselves for short periods, gaining +10 to melee damage, 30 temporarily hit points that are used first, gain an extra attack per round at -5 to attack rolls, but suffer -4 to Defense. These effects last for 6 rounds, then the Llanowar elite is exhausted. Call ReinforcementsWhile a Llanowar Elite is within their forests or areas they control, they can call for reinforcements. Using a move equivalent action, can send a mental call to the nearest allies, calling 2d4 Llanowar Elf Warriors although there is a 50% chance one of the warriors is replaced with a Llanowar Elite, that arrive within 1d6 rounds. Powerful SummonsWhen an Llanowar Envoy, Empath, Druid, Elite, Stalker and others above Warrior, use Call Reinforcements, have a 50% chance to call 1 Llanowar Elite in the group of summoned Llanowar elf Warriors. If an Elite is summoned, when the Elite arrives, they have +3 to attack rolls and damage and +1 to Defense for the first 5 rounds. Acid Arrow2 evocationCasting Time: 1 actionRange: 90 feetTarget: A target within rangeComponents: V S M (Powdered rhubarb leaf and an adder's stomach)Duration: InstantaneousClasses: WizardA shimmering green arrow streaks toward a target within range and bursts in a spray of acid. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 4d4 acid damage immediately and 2d4 acid damage at the end of its next turn.

A creature restrained by the vines or one that can touch the creature can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, the target is freed.Llanowar Augur "I am irrelevant. The future I hold in my hands is everything." The Llanowar Augur is a frail, wide-eyed Elf Shaman who spends their life channeling a single, massive burst of primal energy. They are often found in Llanowar villages, although some can be found in small enclaves within urban centres tending to the enclave's plants. While they are not combatants, they will sacrifice themselves to aid their comrades, especially in the defense of remote enclaves and the villages, using their lifeforce to empower the warriors.Type: Medium Humanoid (Elf)CR: 1/2Hit Dice: 1d8+1 (5 hp)Initiative: +1Speed: 30 ft.Defense: 11 (+1 Dex), touch 11, flat-footed 10Base Attack/Grapple: +0 / -1Attack: Quarterstaff -1 melee (1d6-1)Full Attack: Quarterstaff -1 melee (1d6-1)Special Abilities: elf traits, Augury of MightSaves: Fort +1, Ref +1, Will +4Abilities: STR 8, DEX 12, CON 12, INT 10, WIS 16, CHA 10Skills: Listen +4, Knowledge: Earth and Life Sciences +4, Search +2, Spot +4Feats: Simple Weapons Proficiency CombatThe Llanowar Augur is not a front-line fighter, they stay in the back. If an ally is engaged with a powerful foe, the Augur whispers their final prophecy and collapses, giving the ally the strength of a giant for one crucial moment. Augury of MightOnce per day, at the start of its turn, the Llanowar Augur may sacrifice its life force to empower an ally. As a free action, the Augur is instantly reduced to 0 HP and begins dying, can make a check to stabilize at +4.Selecting one target ally within 30 feet gains a +6 enhancement bonus to Strength and the Overrun feat for 1 round. Llanowar LoamspeakerThe Llanowar Loamspeaker is a versatile support unit amongst the Llanowar, a potent spell caster, with the capability to animate the environment into an elemental to aid in combat. They are typically assigned to village defense forces, patrol forces and some of the remote enclaves within urban centers.  Llanowar Loamspeaker Type: Medium Humanoid (Elf)CR: 2Hit Dice: 3d8+6 (22 hp)Initiative: +1Speed: 30 ft.Defense: 14 (+1 Dex, Armoured Robes +3), touch 11, flat-footed 13Base Attack/Grapple: +1 / +1Attack: Quarterstaff -1 melee (1d6-1)Full Attack: Quarterstaff -1 melee (1d6-1)Special Abilities: elf traits, Mana Tap, Awaken The Loam, Innate spellcasting, spellcasting, call reinforcementsReputation: +1Saves: Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +6Abilities: STR 10, DEX 12, CON 14, INT 12, WIS 17, CHA 12Skills: Concentration +8, Knowledge: Earth and Life Sciences +7, Listen +6, Search +4, Spot +6, Survival +7Feats: Simple Weapons Proficiency, Great Fortitude CombatThe Loamspeaker is a force multiplier and support, casting spells to attack and support, but can also summon elementals to increase the number of allies. They will start combat by summoning an elemental with their Awaken the Loam ability, then use spells to attack, defend or support their allies, and will use their Awaken the Loam ability once available again, creating a steady supply of elementals to throw at the enemy. Mana TapThe Loamspeaker is capable of tapping into local mana fields, particularly if the mana is of the green type, although they don't have any mana of their own. The Loamspeaker can absorb 2 mana per round, or 4 green mana if in a forest or other source of green mana, capable of holding at most 12 mana at a time, for a maximum of 10 rounds before it dissipates at a rate of 1 mana per round. This mana can be used to enhance their spells, replenish spell slots, heal themselves or an ally they touch. For every 2 mana (or 1 green) spent, can replenish 1 level of spell slots, or empower spells (increase range by +10 ft, damage by +1 per die of damage, and DC by +1), or heal 1 hit point. Innate SpellcastingThe elf's innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell DC 14).

The land transforms into a Medium Elemental under the Loamspeaker's control. The Loamspeaker can control up to 5 elementals at once. The Elemental: Has 26 HP, Defense 15, and a slam attack (+5 melee, 1d8+4 damage). It gains the Haste effect (+1 to attack, Defense, and Reflex saves) for the first 5 rounds.
