First Post
Ok I have created my first draft of my elementalist class. General feedback especialy on additional Elemental Mastery abilities and better requirements for the subtle correspondance feat are much apreciated.
But I dont really want to know about the Shugenja or what other elementalist themed classes are out there, unless your suggesting specfic things from it to use in mine
The Elementalist
Hit Die, BAB, BSB, Spellcasting, and Spells Per day and class skills as wizard
1st level: Rebuke/Command elementals: Exactly as the evil cleric ability, but usable only on Elementals
3rd level: Elemental Companion: At 3rd level, the Elementalist may summon an elemental companion once per day. The elemental gains in strength as the Elementalist gains levels (use the chart for Druid animal companion). The Elemental’s size and other abilities are as a normal elemental of its Hit Dice. The Elemental remains for 24 hours or until destroyed. If the Elemental is destroyed the Elementalist may not summon another for 24 hours.
At 7th level the Elementalist may choose to summon an Air, Earth, Fire or Water Mephit instead of a normal elemental. The Mephit advances according to the Elementalist’s level just as a normal elemental would
5th level: Elemental Mastery: At 5th level, and again at 10th, 15th and 20th level the elementalist may select an ability from the following list:
Elemental Substitition: The elementalist may alter an elemental or energy spell as it is cast to utilize a different element or energy type. This is a free action and functions only on spells with the Acid, Air, Cold, Earth, Electrecity, Fire or Water descriptors. The elementalist may use this ability 3 times per day, plus one additional time per day for every 5 elementalist levels beyond 5
Elemental Counterspell: An elementalist may counter a spell with an elemental or energy descriptor with any spell of equal or greater level of the oposite elemental or energy descriptor (Fire counters Water, Electricity counters Acid etc). This ability works only with spells with the Acid, Air, Cold, Earth, Electricity, Fire or Water descriptors
Elemental Dispell: An Elementalist may dispell an existing elemental or energy spell using any spell of equal or greater level with the oposite elemental or energy descriptor (Earth dispells Air, Cold dispells Fire etc). This ability works only with spells with the Acid, Air, Cold, Earth, Electricity, Fire or Water descriptors
Elemental Form: The elementalist may assume the form of a Medium air, earth, fire or water elemental once per day per 5 elementalist levels. The transformation lasts for 1 hour per elementalist level, or untill the elementalist decides to change back. This ability functions like a Polymorph spell, accept the Elementalist gains all supernatural and extraordinary abilities of the elemental form. The Elementalist may take this ability more than once. Each time it is taken, the Elementalist gains the ability to assume the form of an Elemental one size larger than he previously could
Energy Resistance: The elementalist gains resistance 10 to acid, cold, electricity, fire or damage from earth-based sources (such as Earth elementals). This ability may be taken more than once and applies to a different resistance each time.
Subtle Correspondence: The elementalist may choose to gain access to 9 subtle correspondence spells of any level and/or element. Any spells chosen of a level that the elementalist currently has access to are added to his spellbook. Any of higher levels than the elementalist has access to are added to his class spell list and can be learned normaly. This ability may be taken multiple times
Overcome Resistance: Once per day per five class levels the Elementalist may cast a single spell and have it ignore some degree of energy or elemental resistance. Any creature affected by the chosen spell is treated as having its resistance to the spells energy or elemental descriptor as 10 points below its normal value. Using this ability is a free action that must be declared before the spell is cast
Specialist Elementalists: A Elementalist may choose to focus on one of the four elements. He gains one additional spell per day at each spell level and a +2 bonus to spellcraft checks relating to spells of his element, but he looses access to spells of the opposing element as follows:
Air Lose Earth and vice versa
Fire Lose Water and vice Versa
Additionally a specialized elementalist may only use certain abilities with his own element of specialty. He may only summon an Elemental of his chosen element, he may only subsititue his own element or its associated energy type with Elemental Substitition, and he may only assume the form of an Elemental of his chosen type.
And heres the spell list...first the basics, then the subtle correspondance spells that they can gain access to via the feat.
