[QUOTE="Kerrick, post: 4404054, member: 4722"] True, except I don't have it. :( Again, true (I think - I'm not exactly sure on how referencing closed content works). Anyway, I found a better solution - just allow other creatures with the elemental subtype, like xorns, mephits, etc. Yeah, I'm not sure why I said that. I made some revisions; everyone gets some kind of companion (though not necessarily an animal). I need to fix that 1st-level ability, but I don't know what to replace it with. I might just leave it as-is, and when they gain their mastery and the new companion, just let them swap the existing companion for the new one (or keep it, in the case of the Beastlord). And as for the revisions: Elemental Lords are restricted to two elements now (they must choose when they gain their first mastery, but can switch one each level); this lowers their power level a bit (I felt they were a bit overpowered because of their access to all four elements). I moved the first-rank Verdant Lord ability to be a mastery ability; they gain a plant companion at 1st rank instead. Elemental Lords gain an elemental (or creature) of one of their chosen types as a companion, and Stormlords gain an air elemental or a bird creature (basically, a creature of the air). At level II, Elemental Lords have elemental shape; Stormlords gain Weather Resistance (I thought focusing them more on weather-like abilities, rather than making them clones of Elemental Lords, would make them more distinctive). At level III, Elemental Lords gain their Summon Elemental ability, Verdant Lords have Control Tree, and Stormlords can summon air elementals. At level IV, I gave Verdant Lords the ability to take treant form as per the shapechange spell. I might add shambler as a form too - it's a bit limited as is. I'm still working on a Beastlord ability. [/QUOTE]
