Ignoring that, though, these guys are pretty solid Elementals. Ice bursts and icy ground auras look like they could be a lot of fun. I wonder what future archons will look like.I am not sure what is up with the hatred for the four classic elements, though... If you want to make cool things like Lightning Archons and Ice Archons, that is perfectly fine, but there is no need to say that you have to give up the four classic elements entirely in order to have them. It honestly reads more like an excuse for something like an inability to come up with good ideas for Wind, Water, or Earth Archons (which should not be hard, since I can easily imagine ways you can make really interesting archons of those types). I also hope the idea of unbinding elements from the classic set isn't used an excuse to turn anything and everything under the sun into an "element". 3E Golems were bad enough (Gloom and Prismatic Golems really stepped over the line), and if someone repeats that mistake by trying to make a "Rope Archon" or "Slime Archon" then I will be severely disappointed. However, as long as they stick to reasonable definition of element (namely, a pure substance that can be found as a component of countless things), then I will be fine.</blockquote>
