Eldar Elementalist

A Priest of the Order of Elemental Power, elementalists devote their lives to understanding and merging with the elements. They may also be clerics of Elemental Power, but can also be druids, wizards or sorcerers who have shown their devotion to all things elemental. In the Order, loosely organized as it is, rivalry has developed between clerics and elementalists, whose obsession with elemental power can be fanatical. They are often attracted to extremes of climate and geography and are far more willing to take an up close look at an active volcano than most. Many high level elementalists spend their time wandering other planes in elemental form, rarely returning to Terra. To become an elementalist generally requires finding one with the patience to take on a student.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Eldar Elementalists are proficient with simple weapons and light, medium, and heavy armor, and shields (but not tower shields).

Spells: An elementalist has the ability to cast divine spells in addition to other spells they can cast. To cast an elementalist spell, an elementalist must have a Wisdom score of at least 10 + the spell’s level, so an elementalist with a Wisdom of 10 or lower cannot cast these spells.

Elementalist bonus spells are based on Wisdom, and saving throws against these spells have a DC of 10 + spell level + the elementalist’s Wisdom modifier. The elementalist’s spell list appears below. An elementalist has access to any spell on the list and can freely choose which to prepare, just as a druid. An elementalist prepares and casts spells just as a druid does (though an elementalist does not spontaneously cast spells the way a druid does).

Elemental casting: To determine his caster level for elementalist spells, the elementalist adds his elementalist level to that of any one spellcasting class he belonged to before he added the prestige class. In turn, he adds his elementalist level to that of another spellcasting class when casting an “elemental” spell provided by that class. This includes acid, air, earth, electricity, fire, sonic, or water spells, as well as (other) spells granted to the caster by the air, earth, fire, sun, or water domains.

At 3^rd level the elementalist also receives a +1 to the save DC of all elementalist or “elemental” spells he casts.

Elemental Resistance (Ex): The elementalist receives +2 on saves vs. magical and non-magical acid, electricity, fire, water, earth, heat, cold, steam, and sonic attacks and effects. They also endure elements as the spell. This is an extraordinary ability.

Rebuke/Control Elemental Creature (Su): The elementalist can attempt to rebuke and control creatures of air, earth, fire and water in the same way that an evil cleric can rebuke and control undead (see Core Rule Book I). An elementalist may attempt to rebuke these creatures a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier. An elementalist with 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (Cosmology) gets a +2 bonus on the rebuke check. If the creature is an elemental, the priest receives a +2 on his check. This is a supernatural ability.

If the elementalist is a cleric with the air, earth, fire or water domain, he adds his cleric level to his elementalist level when rebuking/control a creature of that type.

Summon Elemental Ally (Sp): As a standard, spell like action, the elementalist can summon an elemental ally using the energy of a prepared elementalist spell of 2nd level or higher. The elementalist chooses whether an air, earth, fire or water elemental is summoned. They can also choose to summon a group of elementals, all of the same type. Any prepared elementalist spells can be used for this purpose, and is treated as being cast when the elemental(s) is summoned. The size and number of the elementals summoned depends on the level of the prepared spell lost, otherwise summoning the elemental works in the same why as the summon monster I spell.

Summon Elemental Ally

Elemental Number and Size	Level of Prepared Spell Used
1 Small	2^nd
1d3 Small	3^rd
1 Medium	4^th
1d3 Medium	5^th
1 Large	5^th
1d3 Large	6^th
1 Huge	6^th
1d3 Huge	7^th
1 Greater	8^th
1d3 Greater	9^th
1 Elder	9^th

Legacy Spell: At 2^nd level, the elementalist can add one 4^th level spell to his elementalist spell list from the spell list of another spell casting class he has levels in, as long as that spell is 4^th level (or lower), and cast it as a 4^th level elementalist spell. At 4^th level he can add one 5^th level spell to his spell list in this way, at 6^th level one 6^th level spell, at 8^th level one 7^th level spell, at 10^th level one 8^th level spell, and at 12^th level one 9^th level spell.

Elemental Shape (Sp): At 5th level the priest can take the form of a small or medium elemental, gaining all its special abilities in the process. At 7th level the priest can do this twice a day, at 9th 3 times a day, and 4 times a day at 11th level. At 8th level they can also take the shape of a large elemental, at 12th level a huge one. This spell-like ability is otherwise similar to the polymorph spell.

Timeless Body: Upon attaining 12th level, the elementalist no longer takes penalties to her ability scores for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any such penalties that he has already taken, however, remain in place. Bonuses still accrue, and the priest must still ultimately take the Great Walk when they enter old age.

Elemental Allies: Elementalist with the Leadership feat may have air, earth, fire or water creatures as cohorts.

Elemental Languages: The elementalist can learn the strange languages of elemental creatures: Aquan (water), Auran (air), Ignan (fire), and Terran (earth). Many scholars deny the existence of these languages, claiming that elementalists are merely speaking gibberish.
