Elemental Blades are mystic warriors who have changed a mastery of a power that is beyond themselves. Destroying their enemies with a variety of esoteric techniques involving the power of the elements that exist in nature, they strike out in versatile ways dependant on the type of elemental power that they have imbued themselves with. Some battle with a swiftness unseen by many, some with a grace, flow and calm that rages into a torrent at a moments notice, some take the flames of battle within them and fan them into a great inferno, some strike with a strength that befits only the earth itself. Elemental Blades show that the elements are not a force to be trifled with, examples of the raging power of nature itself.

As an Elemental Blade, you have been pulled in by the lure of nature and you strive to continue your path until the finish. But how will you tread your path before you? You could be a rage filled student of the sword seeking vengeance through power, a graceful defender of nature who wants to show the world your prowess, an ascetic warrior who seeks the enlightenment through the elements themselves or even a warrior who was born with a natural ability to manipulate these spirits.

With your elemental spirit summoned, you have a companion who you have grown to rely on, your sword heavy in your hand, you glow with elemental might. What adventures lie before you and what path will you take?

Elemental Blade Overview Characteristics: You strike out with hard hitting melee attacks imbued with arcane power drawn from the elements that you control and summon, you aren't tough but you use the magic you control to either escape from tough situations or power through them. Depending on the elements you specialise in your tactics in battle vary greatly, flighty and quick to tough and steady and everything inbetween. Religion: Your class prefers deities that embody nature and depending on the element they favour different deities appeal to different Elemental Blades. Wind Blades might prefer Corellon, Fire might prefer Kord or Pelor, Water might prefer Melora and Earth might prefer Kord similar to their Fire brothers. However most Elemental Blades feel an affinity to Ioun who embodies the skill and knowledge needed to use their abilities to its fullest. Races: Nature does not discriminate and neither does the Elements. There are examples of wandering Elemental Blades from every race, but due to their intense practice and training needed, there tends to be few living examples throughout the world.
