Earth Elemental Help

[escaflowne777]

Alright, so i've been trying for months now to find a way to make a character that can turn into and earth elemental (any size) as a class feature, without polymorph, at least before 10th level.
Any class or prestige ideas?

Any size elemental before 10th level?

Doubtful.

 

[escaflowne777]

some people have told me that, but why is it so ridiculous, a small earth elemental is CR 1, not too powerful. Unless you thought I meant ANY, any. I mean i'll take anything I can get, not I want to be able to turn into ANYTHING at level 10.

Easy. Invisibility then summon an elemental. You vanish, elemental appears. voila.

 

[escaflowne777]

Lol. Not exactly what i'm going for, but thanks anyway. I actually want to become the elemental.

Easy - ask the DM.

Earth elementals have a host of abilities that practicly require them to be unavailable at lower levels. Swimming through stone is roughly the equivalent of a personal Passwall at will. And it lets you more or less Fly up to any location that has stone next to it.

Some creative license and the DM's premission to make a custom spell list might work.

Add spells like Fist of Stone, Stoneskin, Mud to Rock to your spell list, and change the SFX on some other spells...
Bear's Endurance = Elemental Endurance
Barkskin = Rocky Hide

I was afraid I'd have to do that. I wanted to do everything by the books but i can see now that, it's not probable. I just greatly dislike creating a new class, or greatly altering an existing one, it kind of seems like cheating, and my fellow players feel the same way. Thanks anyway.

I don't know if this fits what you are looking for, but use Savage Specials racial advancements and tie that into the PrC.
