[edit] Avatar of the Elements
This class is designed to be a heavy damage dealer with special elemental powers. Also has the option for an all or nothing option in combat, where the character becomes an avatar of whatever his element is. This class is not for those who like to not get hurt, because any serious combat will require you to do damage to yourself.
[edit] Making an Avatar of the Elements
The avatar has the ability to use elemental ability to increase damage, speed, and temporary hit points. But when using elemental ability too often the avatar will deal damage to itself (goes straight for actual hit points ignores temporary ones). This class can help the group by providing static abilities throughout the day, or being able to "burst" abilities in exchange for damaging self.
Abilities: Constitution is very important for this class due to its reliance on health and for some of its abilities. Strength and Dexterity are also important for combat purposes.
Races: Any race is welcome to join. But elementals don't really gain many benefits.
Alignment: Requires a degree of neutrality due to getting their powers from Obad-Hai or the elemental planes. Any alignment with at least one part neutral.
Starting Gold: 4d4 x 10. Average = 100 Gold.
Starting Age: Simple.
