Elemental

Elementals are made of, sustained by, or fundamentally governed by a primal state: flame, frost, storm, stone, tide, corrosion, wind, ash, smoke or another raw force. Every Elemental has the Elemental Body trait in addition to its subtype trait.

Senses: normal (sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste) unless a trait says otherwise.

Subtypes

• Fire: defined by flame, heat, cinders, burning motion and destructive ignition.
• Frost: defined by cold, ice, stillness, brittleness and numbing pressure.
• Storm: defined by lightning, thunder, violent motion and sudden discharges of energy.
• Stone: defined by earth, crystal, sand, weight, endurance and crushing force.
• Tide: defined by water, flow, mist, drowning pressure and shifting space.
• Corrosive: defined by acid, dissolution, caustic fluid and destructive chemical force.
• Wind: defined by speed, air, motion, flight and unstable footing.
• Ash: defined by obscurity, cinders, choking drift and battlefield concealment.
