[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 3473560, member: 17691"] I see. My only issue is that both Brick-Knuckle Jack and Rolf Panzerbjörn are high-strength bruisers. It'd seem that adding a high-strength earth elemental would simply be adding more of the same to the party. A bit of variety might be desireable. I have some good ideas for the air elemental so I think I'll try statting it up as an alternative. That being said, would you allow me to multi-class out of air elemental after 3rd level; essentially being an advanced Monster Manual Small Air Elemental? I think I'd like to remain a small elemental and possibly take levels in scout. So who's still playing this game? Looks like Dave–o, Necro_Kinder and possible Rathan (as a goblin rogue) are still around. Here's a pair of character builds; the first incorporating three levels of scout and the second being a straight class air-elemental. I'd consider switching some ranks into Profession (pilot) if you believe the party is likely to deal with driveable warjacks and other steam-powered vehicles.
