Message: <blockquote data-quote="Merlion" data-source="post: 1993237" data-attributes="member: 10397">Ok...I like elemental magic, and the concept of an elemental mage, especially Air. The Elemental Savant is ok, but my big problem with it is that its more like an Energy Savant...most of the abilities enhance your spells of a wedded energy type...an Air Savant isnt any better at casting Fog Cloud than the next person. Nor does it allow you enhanced access to the spells of your element. Also, the whole "transformational" part doesnt really appeal much to me...getting the movement abilities is nifty, but slowing taking on the characteristics of the Elemental type isnt really what I am looking for.So, I have attempted to do something a little different. I've started with the Air Mage, will probably slowly do the other three.Note, that I wish opnions on wether this is balanced compared to other similiar prestige classes...I realize some people just dont like prestige classes, or think they dont come at a high enough cost, or that a theme like this needs a prestige class. Thats not what I'm interested in...I want to know if it seems balanced compared to current prestige class trends, plus any flavour suggestions. The higher levels especially I'm not sure I am happy with.Anywho, here it goes.Air MageRequirements:Skills: Spellcraft 10 ranks, Knowledge (The Planes) 4 ranksLanguage: Must speak AuranFeat: Lightning ReflexesSpells: Ability to cast 4th level spells. Must be able to cast Obscuring Mist, Fog Cloud and Wind Wall or have access to the Air domain.Special: Must spend a full 24 hours on a windy mountaintop or similar locale in meditation. Then the character must make peaceful contact with an elemental or outsider of the Air subtype.BAB, Saves and Skills as Wizard.
