Elemental BladeEdit

The Elemental Blade wields the raw elemental powers of the planes as weapons of destruction.

Making an Elemental BladeEdit

Elemental Blades are, fundamentally, martial characters, and have the weaknesses of such, although they do have more than the usual amount of battlefield control.

Abilities: Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution are all important for any martial character. The Elemental Blade also benefits from a high Charisma, because it affects their class abilities.

Races: Genasi obviously have a certain attunement to the elements. So do Elnades. Of course, not only elemental characters are interested in elemental power.

Alignment: Any.

Starting Gold: 4d4×10 gp (100 gp).

Starting Age: Complex.

Table: The Elemental Blade

Hit Die: d12

Class FeaturesEdit

All of the following are class features of the Elemental Blade.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The Elemental Blade is proficient with light, medium, and heavy armor, shields (except tower shields), and simple and martial weapons.

Elemental Blade (Su): The Elemental Blade can conjure a martial or simple weapon that deals damage of any energy type he has access to. This is a swift action. If wielding a MAGICAL Weapon he may choose to instead enhance the MAGICAL Weapon with the energy type he chooses. The weapon exists until he chooses to conjure another one.

Elemental Access (Su): At level 1, the Elemental Blade has access to two simple elements. At level 5, the Elemental Blade gains access to another simple element. At 9th level, every 4 levels after 9th, and 15th level, the Elemental Blade gains access to another element.

Complex Elements: Sonic, Force, Positive, and Negative are complex elements.

Elemental Armor (Su): At 2nd level, the Elemental Blade can conjure armor in which he is proficient. This is a swift action. The armor exists until he chooses to conjure another one. When he conjures armor, he chooses an energy type. If wearing MAGICAL Armor the Elemental Blade may choose to instead enhance the MAGICAL Armor with the energy type he chooses. The energy type of the armor grants it a special ability:

  • Fire: The armor gives off light like a torch, and deals 1d6 points of fire damage each round in a grapple.
  • Cold: The armor is chill to the touch, and grants resistance 5 fire and cold.

The damage type is of the same type as his elemental weapon.

Elemental Enhancement (Su): At 4th level and every 3 levels after 4th, the Elemental Blade's summoned armor and weapon each get a +1 enhancement bonus. In addition, when the Elemental Blade and Elemental Armor are summoned, they get one additional element for each +1 enhancement bonus. Each additional element on the weapon adds an instance of the weapon damage in the energy type of that element.

Energy Bolts (Su): At 6th level, the Elemental Blade can make ranged touch attacks with a range of 60 feet as long as he has an empty hand. These attacks deal 1d6 points of damage for every two Elemental Blade level he possesses, of any energy type he has access to.
