Elemental Affinity

At 1st level you develop a natural affinity for one of four elements of your choice: air, earth, fire, or water. Each elemental affinity is detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 1st level, and again at 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th level.

Nexus of Power

At 1st level your understanding of the building blocks of the universe allows you to precisely manipulate the elements. These manipulations, called shapes, come in four categories of power: basic, advanced, expert, and master.
Shapes. Shapes are elemental magical effects similar to spells, commanded and controlled by your Intelligence. To create a shape, you must be conscious and be able gesture both forcefully and intricately, requiring at least one free hand. You create shapes by expending your primal power, paying the primal power cost in the shape’s description before the shape can be created.
Prerequisites. Some shapes are only available to elementalists of a specific elemental affinity. You cannot learn a shape for which you do not meet the prerequisites.
Range. The farther an element is away from you, the more difficult it is to manipulate, and all shapes have a range that is determined by the distance at which you can affect elemental forces. This distance is called your area of elemental influence, which is calculated as follows: 40-foot-radius sphere centered on you times your Constitution modifier. When you create a shape, you cannot target anything outside of this area, though shapes you create can affect space beyond this area, just as long as their origin was somewhere within your area of elemental influence. At 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th level, the radius of this feature in-creases according to your class progression table.
Duration. Each shape has a duration that indicates how long its effects last, which can be expressed as instantaneous or longer. Note that elementalists do not need to concentrate on a shape to maintain its effects for a duration but have other restrictions that influence their shapes’ ability to persist, which are detailed as follows.

If you have created a shape and then create another of that shape before the duration of the first ends, the first shape immediately ends.
If you fall unconscious while one or more of your shapes are in effect, those shapes immediately end.
As an action you can dismiss any shape you have created, ending its effect instantly.

Augmenting. All elemental shapes can be improved or expanded, but only by experienced elementalists of 3rd level or higher. The details of augmenting are found in your Elemental Empowerment feature detailed later in this section.

Shapes Known

At 1st level, you learn two basic shapes that you meet the prerequisites for. Your shape options are detailed at the end of the class description. When you gain certain elementalist levels, you learn additional shapes according to your class progression table.

Shaping Ability

Intelligence is your ability score for your elemental shapes, as your understanding of the elements and their properties correlates to your mastery over them. You use your Intelligence modifier when-ever a shape refers to your shaping ability. Additionally, you use your Intelligence modifier when a shape requires a saving throw DC or is used to make an attack.

Elemental shape DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Primordial Energy

At 1st level, you call upon the latent elemental energy found in all matter. This energy, called primal power, allows you to manipulate the elements. You have 4 primal power, and you gain more as you reach higher levels, as shown in the Primal Power column of the class progression table. You can never have more primal power than shown on the table for your level. You regain all expended primal power when you finish a long rest.

Friend of the Elements

At 2nd level, your relationship with the elements allows you to converse more easily with them. You learn Primordial as a language and have advantage on Charisma ability checks against elementals.

Elemental Empowerment

Starting at 3rd level, you learn the necessary skills to empower your elemental shapes by strengthening your connection to the elements. To augment a shape, you must first attune yourself to the elemental energies around you, synchronizing your mind, body, and spirit. At the start of each of your turns, you can choose to immediately expend all of your movement (if any), instead spending that energy on focusing your mind. When you do so you are considered empowered until the start of your next turn or until you augment an elemental shape (whichever comes first).If you create a shape while empowered, you can expend additional primal power as detailed in the “augment” section of its description. You can augment a shape multiple times in a single creation, provided you have the necessary primal power to do so, and provided the total primal power expended to both create and augment the shape does not exceed your elementalist level.

Elemental Allies

At 7th level, you can call upon low elementals to serve you in battle. As an action you can expend 9 primal power to cast the spell conjure minor elementals without the need for any components. Elementals you create using this feature must always be of a type associated with your elemental affinity (for example, earth elementalists will always create elementals composed at least partly of earth, such as dust, magma, or mud mephits, or earth elementals). If you are empowered when you use this feature, you can choose to end your empowerment and expend additional primal power to increase the level of the spell. For every 4 primal power you expend in this manner, you increase the level of the spell by two. You cannot expend an amount of primal power greater than your elementalist level in this manner.

Hybrid Elements

Starting at 10th level, you can choose to no longer pursue the path of a pure elemental affinity and instead study a complex variant of your elemental affinity, called a hybrid element. Hybrid elements combine two different elements into a unique whole that is more difficult to control: ice, life, metal, and storm. If you make the choice to learn a hybrid element, you no longer gain your elemental affinity features as you advance as an elementalist, instead gaining your hybrid affinity features as detailed later in this class section (though you still retain elemental affinity features you have already gained). You cannot choose a hybrid element that is not associated with your elemental affinity (example: earth elementalists cannot choose ice or storm as their hybrid affinity, as neither of those elements contain earth). The elements associated with each hybrid affinity are detailed in their names; the hybrid is determined by the two closet elemental affinities to the hybrid affinity.

Mind over Matter

At 20th level, you can maintain your elemental shapes with the power of your focused mind. When you create a shape with a duration of 1 minute or longer, you can choose to concentrate on the shape (as though you were concentrating on a spell) to maintain its effect. When you do so, the shape persists for as long as you maintain concentration on it.

ELEMENTAL AFFINITIES

Each elementalist is committed to mastering a single elementtypically the one for which they have the most affinity. Elementalists who share affinities often engage in friendly rivalries and share insight gained from their connection with their chosen element. Each views their affinity as the ideal element and, while tolerating the presence of other elementalists, rarely get along with those following an opposing affinity. The enmity between fire and water elementalists or earth and air elementalists is legendary, as they are incompatible on almost every level. An alphabetical list of elemental affinities available to an elementalist follows.

AIR

Air elementalists are swift warriors specializing in manipulating battlefield and enemy alike with the power of the wind. Most air elementalists are confident, are self-assured, and come from communities who value freedom and flexibility, quick to change their mind and adapt to any situation. As an air elementalist you are a fearless explorer, always traveling with the wind at your back. There is nothing you cannot overcome, thinking your way out of sticky situations that would foil brute force. Those who view the air element as weak are quick to reassess their perspective after see-ing you in action, especially once their lungs are devoid of oxygen. This is a lesson you readily share with any earth elementalist who crosses your path, for those ponderous brutes always fail to appreciate the efficacy of your approach to life.

Guiding Winds

Starting at 1st level, as an action you can hurl a blast of air at a creature within your area of elemental influence. You make a ranged spell attack against the target and deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage on a successful hit. When you take this action, you can instead target an ally within your area of elemental influence, guiding the target’s attacks with powerful winds. Until the end of its next turn, when that ally next makes a ranged weapon attack, it has advantage on the attack roll and deals an extra 1d6 bludgeoning damage on a successful hit. In either case, this damage increases by 1d6 at 6th level, and again at 10th, 14th, and 18th levels.

Ways of Air

Your close relationship with air has taught you many things. At 1st level you gain proficiency in calligrapher’s supplies.Additionally, as an action you can subtly manipulate the air in your area of elemental influence. These effects are always harmless, can only affect a 5-foot cube of area, and cannot interfere with the properties of magical effects, only natural ones. Examples of such effects include generating a gust of wind, blowing a cool breeze, or manifesting a tiny tornado in the palm of your hand. The size of the cube you can affect in this manner increases by 5 feet at 6th level, and by another 5 feet again at 10th, 14th, and 18th levels. If you take a hybrid elemental affinity when you reach 10th level, this feature can affect both the elements of air and your chosen hybrid element.

Spirit of Adventure

At 6th level, you start each day with an unquenchable hunger for adventure and the wind at your back. After you finish a long rest, you have advantage on Dexterity saving throws and ability checks. This benefit lasts until you finish a short rest or gain a level of exhaustion.

Windweaver

At 10th level, on each of your turns if you spend movement to move at least 25 feet away from the space you started your turn in, you become empowered, as per your Elemental Empowerment feature.

Grace of the Wind

By 14th level your body moves as effortlessly as the wind itself. You gain proficiency in Dexterity saving throws and Acrobatics.

Master Air

At 18th level you have mastered the element of air, gaining almost complete control over the air in your area of elemental influence. At the start of each of your turns you can choose to affect that area and cause one of the following effects.

End any light or strong winds in the area.
Create a light or strong wind in a direction of your choice in the area.Creatures of your choice within the area are immune to the effects of this feature.

EARTH

As an earth elementalist, you are as unshakable as stone and twice as durable. Earth elementalists see all problems as surmountable through time and effort, overcoming obstacles with determina-tion and raw power. Most elementalists in this field come from races and communities with strong affinity for the earth and order. Many earth elementalists take pride in their bodies, eschewing the comforts of civilized life for the steady embrace of stone. More than any other elementalists, those with an affinity for earth make their element part of their bodies, mantling their forms in un-breakable rock and striking with stony fists. When you commit to a course of action as an earth elementalist, only the most extreme of forces can hope to stop you. You love a challenge, so those who flee from or dance around problems bother you.

Stone Mantle

Starting at 1st level, when you finish a long rest you can coat your skin in a thick layer of solid stone. When you do so, you gain tem-porary hit points equal to four times your elementalist level. These temporary hit points cannot be replaced by temporary hit points from another source unless you will it.Additionally, when you would make an unarmed strike you can instead make a melee spell attack. The damage of this attack is equal to your unarmed strike damage plus your Strength and Intelligence modifiers.

Ways of Earth

Your close relationship with the earth has inspired the craftsman in you. At 1st level, you gain proficiency in mason’s tools. Additionally, as an action, you can subtly manipulate the earth around you within your area of elemental influence. These effects are always harmless, can only affect a 5-foot cube of area, and can-not interfere with the properties of magical effects, only natural ones. Examples of such effects include making a stone slide around on the floor, creating a chair out of stone, or extracting gold ore from unworked rock. The size of the cube you can affect in this manner increases by 5 feet at 6th level, and by another 5 feet again at 10th, 14th, and 18th levels. If you take a hybrid elemental af-finity when you reach 10th level, this feature can affect both the elements of earth and your chosen hybrid element.

Rock Solid

At 6th level, your mind and body are especially durable against ef-fects that would lay you low. You have advantage on saving throws against effects that would cause you to be incapacitated, paralyzed, petrified, stunned, or unconscious on a failure.

Seismography

Starting at 10th level, you can sense the vibrations in the earth to detect the precise location of creatures. While you are standing on the ground, you have tremorsense out to a range of 15 feet. At 18th level, the range of your tremorsense increases to 30 feet.

Earthen Might

At 14th level, your body becomes infused with the strength of stone. You gain proficiency in Strength saving throws and Athletics.

Master Earth

At 18th level, you have mastered the element of earth. You gain a burrowing speed equal to your walking speed, and you can burrow through solid rock at half your burrowing speed. When you bur-row in this manner, you do not disturb any material through which you pass. If you end your turn inside a solid object after burrowing in this manner, you must immediately expend 5 primal power or be shunted to the nearest unoccupied space.

FIRE

Danger surrounds a fire elementalist. Few creatures can live comfortably with fire, a vicious and unpredictable element. You must keep a tight leash on the flames that sprout from your fingertips lest you immolate yourself and everything you care about. Most fire elementalists are wild souls, barely able to contain the enthusiasm each holds for the nature of their craft. While always destruc-tive, fire elementalists understand the importance of burning away the underbrush to start anew and prevent future conflagrations. Fire is the most complex of the elements—to coexist with simpler creatures, you must understand its many facets. Whether you are a purifier searing away evil with columns of flame or a pyromaniac who just wants to watch the world burn, at your core is a hunger that makes you and all other fire elementalists ambitious in all walks of life. Only the mercurial and reserved water elementalists can dampen your enthusiasm, and for this reason their presence is rarely tolerated.

Enduring Ember

At 1st level, you can fan the flames within you for additional power. When you finish a short rest, you can expend a number of your Hit Dice up to your Intelligence modifier, rolling those Hit Dice and regaining primal power equal to the total amount rolled. Once you have used this feature you must finish a long rest before you can use it again. At 10th level, when you use this feature you can instead expend and roll a number of Hit Dice equal to twice your Intelligence modifier and regain primal power equal to the total amount rolled.

Ways of Fire

Your love of fire and how to use it has inspired you to take up artistic crafts. At 1st level you gain proficiency in glassblower’s tools.Additionally, as an action you can subtly manipulate fire within your area of elemental influence. These effects are always harmless, can only affect a 5-foot cube of area, and cannot interfere with the properties of magical effects, only natural ones. Examples of such effects include lighting a candle, extinguishing a fireplace, or burn-ing a symbol into a piece of wood. The size of the cube you can affect in this manner increases by 5 feet at 6th level, and by another 5 feet again at 10th, 14th, and 18th levels. If you take a hybrid elemental affinity when you reach 10th level, this feature can affect both the elements of fire and your chosen hybrid element.

Fireproof

At 6th level, your constant exposure to flames has granted you resistance to fire damage. At 14th level, you instead have immunity to fire damage.

Pour It On

At 10th level when you create a shape that deals damage and augment it, the first time the shape deals damage, it deals extra dam-age equal to the amount of primal power expended to augment the shape.

Fury of the Flames

At 14th level the roaring power of fire is reflected in your personality. You gain proficiency in Charisma saving throws and Intimidation.

Master Fire

At 18th level, you have mastered the element of fire. When you would deal fire damage in an area, you can choose to also damage unattended objects and structures in that area.

WATER

Proudest and most determined of the elements. Water elemental-ists reflect this trait in every action they take. As a refined and elegant water elementalist, you understand that no problem can withstand a cunning solution from a brilliant mind. Water elementalists are a flexible lot, able to adapt to any situation. They can aid allies and foil enemies with brilliant elemental creatures while retaining a sense of dignity on the battlefield. Beneath each water elementalist is the overwhelming potential for destruction, unleashed only in the direst straits when there is no time for precision. As you adventure as a water elementalist, your effortless efficiency makes you uniquely valuable and superior to all others, but most especially to those who recklessly wield elemental fire.

Siphon

Starting at 1st level, you can draw lifegiving water from enemies and gift it to allies. As an action, you can make a melee spell attack against a creature, dealing 1d4 necrotic damage on a successful hit. When you deal damage to a creature with this feature, you may cause an ally within range of your area of elemental influence to regain a number of hit points equal to the damage dealt. This damage increases by 1d4 at 6th level, and again at 10th, 14th, and 18th levels.

Ways of Water

The subtleties and beauty of water has inspired you to take up the sciences. At 1st level you gain proficiency in alchemist’s supplies.Additionally, as an action you can subtly manipulate water in your area of elemental influence. These effects are always harmless, can only affect a 5-foot cube of area, and cannot interfere with the properties of magical effects, only natural ones. Examples of such effects include creating a moving sculpture in a pond, making a stream flow uphill, or providing shelter from the rain. The size of the cube you can affect in this manner increases by 5 feet at 6th level, and by another 5 feet again at 10th, 14th, and 18th levels. If you take a hybrid elemental affinity when you reach 10th level, this feature can affect both the elements of water and your chosen hybrid element.

Tidewalker

At 6th level, your affinity with water grants you a swimming speed equal to your walking speed, and you can breathe underwater.

Crushing Tide

At 10th level, creatures have disadvantage on the first saving throw they make against shapes you have augmented.

Wisdom of the Waves

At 14th level the flexible nature of water defines your understand-ing of the world. You gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws and Insight.

Master Water

At 18th level, you have mastered the element of water in your area of elemental influence, granting you the following benefits.

You have blindsight out to a range equal to your area of elemental influence. However, this sense is based on your ability to detect liquid water, such as blood or other fluids. Creatures that are not at least partially composed of fluids cannot be perceived with this sense.
When you or an allied creature is affected by one of your shapes in the area, the affected creature can take a reaction to move up to 10 feet without provoking an attack of opportunity.

ICE (WATER & AIR)

If you select ice as your hybrid element, when you would gain your Elemental Affinity features as you advance as an elementalist, you instead gain the following features.

Ice Elementalism

At 10th level you have learned how to seamlessly weave the hybrid element of ice into your shapes, granting you the following benefits.

When you create a shape that deals damage, you can choose to have it deal cold damage instead of its normal damage type.
You are immune to cold damage.

Ice Age

At 14th level, as an action you can fill your area of elemental influence with freezing fog for 4 hours. The following effects occur within your area of elemental influence for the duration or until you dismiss the effects as an action.

The temperature drops to extreme cold.
The entire area is lightly obscured.
Nonmagical fires are extinguished.

Once you have used this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Frozen Doom

At 18th level, you can freeze solid those who suffer your icy wrath. When a creature you can see fails a saving throw against one of your elemental shapes, you can take a reaction and expend 5 primal power to attempt to freeze the creature solid. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed until it takes fire damage or it is exposed to temperatures higher than 32 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour. At the end of each of its turns, an affected creature can repeat the Constitution saving throw, ending the effect on a success.

LIFE (WATER & EARTH)

If you select life as your hybrid element, when you would gain your Elemental Affinity features as you advance as an elementalist, you instead gain the following features.

Life Elementalism

At 10th level, you can imbue your shapes with elemental life. When you create a shape, you regain hit points equal to the amount of primal power you expended creating and augmenting it (when applicable). Additionally, when you create a shape that deals damage, you can designate a number of creatures you can see up to your Intelligence modifier to be immune to damage dealt by that shape.

Bountiful Paradise

At 14th level, as an action you can flood your area of elemental influence with vitalizing energy for 1 hour. The following effects occur within your area of elemental influence for the duration or until you use an action to dismiss the effects.

Allied creatures in the area can finish a short rest in half the usual time as long as they remain within the area for the entire duration of the rest.
Allied creatures that finish a short rest in the area are cured of any poisons or disease.

Once you have used this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Lifebringer

At 18th level, you can use the element of life to bring a creature back from the dead. As an action, you can touch the body of a creature and expend 20 primal power. Doing so restores the creature to life with 1 hit point, cures all disease, closes all wounds, and neutralizes all poisons, but does not replace damaged or missing organs and limbs.

METAL (EARTH & FIRE)

If you select metal as your hybrid element, when you would gain your Elemental Affinity features as you advance as an elementalist, you instead gain the following features.

Metal Elementalism

At 10th level, you can increase the deadly power of your elemental shapes by adding the metal element. When you create a shape that deals damage, you can choose to have it deal bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage instead of its normal damage type. Additionally, you are proficient in martial weapons that are made of metal.Finally, you can create elemental shapes while holding a weapon made of metal as though the hand holding the weapon were free.

Arsenal

At 14th level, you are proficient in light, medium, and heavy armors that are made of metal. Additionally, when you touch an object made of metal, you learn its current hit points and AC.

Heavy Metal

At 18th level, when a creature that fails a saving throw against one of your shapes by 10 or more and takes bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage as a result, it instead takes double that damage.

STORM (FIRE & AIR)

If you select storm as your hybrid element, when you would gain your Elemental Affinity features as you advance as an elementalist, you instead gain the following features.

Storm Elementalism

At 10th level, you can charge your shapes with the fury of a storm. When you create a shape that deals damage, you can choose to have it deal lightning or thunder damage instead of its normal damage type. Additionally, you have resistance to lightning and thunder damage.

Ride the Lightning

At 14th level you can travel though the skies on a bolt of lightning. By spending 10 minutes in focused meditation during which time you take no other actions or move from your space, you are magically teleported to an unoccupied space near a location you have seen on the same plane. Both your departure and arrival areas must be beneath open sky, and your departure and arrival are heralded by a harmless lightning strike and a loud peal of thunder. You can choose to bring up to seven willing creatures along with you, each of which must be touching you when you depart.

Gathering Storm

At 18th level, your body crackles with electrical power when you wield the elements. When you expend primal power, record the amount of primal power expended, which represents the power of the storm building within your body. This effect is cumulative. Each additional time you expend primal power you can choose to add the amount expended to the amount you have recorded. As an action, you can make a melee or ranged spell attack against a creature within your area of elemental influence, discharging the electrical energy on a hit. The target takes lightning damage equal to the amount you recorded, the energy is expended, and the re-corded primal power expended reset to 0. This energy is also lost if you finish a long rest.

ELEMENTAL SHAPES

Elementalists can learn the elemental shapes presented here. If an elemental shape lists an elemental affinity or a level, those prerequisites must be met in order to learn the shape.

Ball (Basic)

Primal Power Cost: 2
Shaping Time: 1 bonus action
Duration: 1 minute
You create a 5-foot-diameter floating sphere of dense element in an unoccupied space you can see within your area of elemental influence. As an action, you can command the ball to move up to 30 feet and make a single melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet of it. On a successful hit, the target takes 2d6 damage of the type corresponding to your elemental affinity. Additionally, the shape gains the following property according to your elemental affinity.

Air. The ball deals bludgeoning damage. Additionally, creatures hit by the ball must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
Earth. The ball deals piercing damage. Additionally, when the shape ends the ball explodes in a 30-foot-radius sphere. Each creature in the area must attempt a Dexterity saving throw, taking damage as though it were hit by an attack from the ball on a failure, or half as much damage on a success.
Fire. The ball deals fire damage. Additionally, when you take an action to move the ball, it can move up to 60 feet instead of 30 feet.
Water. The ball deals slashing damage. Additionally, when the shape ends, the ball explodes in a 30-foot-radius sphere, and you roll the ball’s spell attack damage dice. Creatures of your choice in the area of the explosion regain a number of hit points equal to the amount rolled.

Augment. When you create this shape while empowered, you can expend additional primal power. For each 3 primal power so ex-pended, you create an additional elemental ball in an unoccupied space you can see within your area of elemental influence. When you take an action to move a ball created in this manner, you can choose to move all balls created by this effect and make a single melee spell attack with each of them.

Blast (Basic)

Primal Power Cost: 1
Shaping Time: 1 action
Duration: Instantaneous
You unleash a blast of elemental energy from your body in a 15-foot cone. Creatures in the area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 3d6 damage of the type corresponding to your elemental affinity, or half as much on a success.

Combustion (Basic)

Prerequisites: Fire affinity
Primal Power Cost: 2
Shaping Time: 1 action
Duration: 1 round
You infect a creature you can see within the area of your elemental influence with an explosive charge. At any time while the shape is in effect, you can take a reaction to cause the charge to explode from the target in a 5-foot radius. Creatures in the area must at-tempt a Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d10 fire damage on a failure, or half as much on a success. If you have not expended the charge in this manner before the duration ends, the charge explodes at the end of its duration.
Augment. When you create this shape, you can expend additional primal power. For every 3 primal power so expended, the duration of the effect increases by 1 round.

Augment. When you create this shape while empowered, you can expend additional primal power to conjure an additional sphere of water for every 2 primal power expended in this manner.

Launch (Basic)

Primal Power Cost: 1
Shaping Time: 1 bonus action
Duration: Instantaneous
You project a blast of elements that throws you into the air. The shape pushes you in a straight line in a direction of your choice up to 30 feet. At the end of your movement you land on your feet un-less you fell at the end of that movement. Additionally, this shape creates the following effects according to your elemental affinity.
