Order of Elemental Angels
Long ago, there lived a Monk in a monastery. He was young and new to his craft, though he was most gifted in unarmed combat. His powers differed from those of his companions, however. Where they all seemed to have simple quasimagical abilities, his seems stinted, blocked. Knowing that his power existed within him, he went out into the world to find enlightenment. He searched the world far and wide for many years, and in his travels, he witnessed the raw power of the earth and the planes: the fires of a volcano, the great wonders of caves, the frigid cold of a mountaintop, the might of a storm, the unrivaled destruction of unholy powers, the great healing of the divine light, the roar of the mighty beasts, and the great might of pure arcane power known as force.
As he studied the mighty elements, his blood stirred within him, and he felt he had found his calling. He mastered both mind and body on his travels, swearing off weapons and armaments to focus on the perfection of self, and at last reached an epiphany: blood is imbued with the elements. And with this understanding came the release of his innate gifts, the flood of the elements that flowed in him. Thus, he became the first Elemental Angel, an Elemental Fist.
He returned to his monastery, where he began to teach of his journeys and strange powers. To his surprise, few were able to follow his path, and fewer still inclined to do so. Many believed he had obtained his power in nefarious and unsavory ways, and he was soon driven out with the few disciples he had gathered.
On the road again, he traveled far and wide, teaching his strange elemental way, and soon found one who listened and learned, a Paladin of a deity of nature. He learned the ways of the old Monk and thought long on them. After some time in thought and practice, he unlocked a new art, and called himself the Elemental Crusader. Together, he and the old Monk traveled the world, using their gifts to fight for nature.
Eventually, they decided to build a school together, a place where people could come from all around and learn the ways of the elements and the sanctity of nature. Shortly thereafter, a student came to them who was gifted not in all elements, but in a single element. Both the old masters were impressed with his gifts, and the three spent many hours in practice and discussion, and soon named the new kind of power the lad had obtained. Thus, he became the first Elemental Wing.
It has been many years since the founding of the school. All three of the original masters have since passed into the next world, but their legacy lives on in the powers they taught. Today, there are many Elemental Angels in the world, both members of the school and self taught. They strive to defend nature across the realms, and are ruthless in the extermination of those who despoil the land.
No one knows why some become Elemental Angels and others do not. Some believe it to be an innate gift like a Sorcerer's magic. Others believe it to be a curse not unlike Warlock powers. But most believe that the blood of many elementals and outsiders flows in them, granting them powers both wondrous and terrifying. Whatever the cause, it's undeniable fact that those races of mixed bloods are more likely to be Elemental Angels than most, and mongrelfolk are the most likely to become them.
Elemental Angels are usually well received by most classes. Elemental Crusaders and Elemental Fists undeniable power in both melee and ranged combat makes them valuable on the battlefield, and their ability to heal makes them much sought after once the battle has ended. Elemental Wings are far more focused, but none can deny their sheer overwhelming power on the battlefield.
Elemental Crusaders and Elemental Fists tend to lean more towards lawful alignments, simply because of the dedication required to unlock and master their powers, though they are by no means always so. Elemental Wings tend to lean more towards chaotic alignments, though there are lawful ones. Elemental Angels have no real inclination one way or the other to good or evil, but will always have a drive to either help or destroy; they are never morally neutral.

Class Abilities: The following are all class abilities of the Elemental Fist.
Proficiencies: An Elemental Fist gains no weapon or armor proficiencies save unarmed and quarterstaff. He gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat at first level.
Tongues of the Elements: Add Ignan, Aquan, Auran, Terran, Celestial, Infernal and Abyssal to the list of languages an Elemental Fist can learn.
AC Bonus (Ex): An Elemental Fist is well trained in combat, and gets his Wisdom modifier as a bonus to AC. Furthermore, at 4th level and every 4 levels thereafter, the Elemental Fist gains an additional +1 to his AC while unarmored and carrying a light load or unencumbered.
Known Elements: The Elemental Fist doesn't start with the ability to attack with all the elements. He gains the power to use them gradually over time. At level one, he may pick one of the following elements: fire, cold, acid, electricity. He can use that element in any of his elemental powers, and gains resistance to it equal to his class level. Every 3 levels thereafter (4th, 7th, 10th) he may choose another off the list. At 13th level, he gains sonic energy to attack with. At 16th, he gains force. At 19th, he gains negative energy.
Elementally Untouchable (Ex): An Elemental Fist gains resistance to fire, cold, acid, electricity, sonic, force and negative energy damage equal to his class level, but he is only resistant to the elements on said list that he can actually attack with. Thus, he'll resist one element at 1st level, and gain an additional resistance every 3 levels until he can resist all of them.
Elemental Fist (Su): The main feature of the class, an Elemental Fist gains the ability to channel the elements into his strikes. He may add 1d10 of any element he knows to one unarmed strike he makes at any time during the round as a free action. This ability may be used at any time during the round, so you may add it to an attack of opportunity should you so choose. This damage increases by one die at every odd numbered class level (2d10 at 3rd, 3d10 at 5th, et cetera). When he learns sonic and force, he may use them with this ability, but they do only 1d8 per odd class level.
Elemental Blast (Su): The Elemental Fist's control over elements increases as he gains levels. At 2nd level, he gains the ability to fire a single ray of one element he knows at a foe with a range of 120 feet (essentially, make a ranged touch attack on one foe, dealing purely elemental damage equal to the bonus damage your elemental fist ability normally would); this is the only use of this attack without a Ref save for half damage. You may use any element you have access to to make this attack with, chosen at the time you use the ability. This ability may be used once every 1d4 rounds, and does not count as your use of the elemental fist ability for that round. At 4th level, his mastery has grown; he may now make a line attack with a range of 60 feet. At 8th level, he gains the ability to use a burst shape (circular burst centered on you) with a radius of 15 feet. At 12th level, he may use a cone shape with a range of 30 feet. At 16th level, he may use a blast shape (circular blast with a range of medium) with a radius of 10 feet. At 18th level, all the ranges on his elemental blasts double in both distance and blast radius. The line, burst, cone and blast shapes all allow a Ref save for half damage; the save DC is (DC 10+1/2 class level+Con modifier).
Still Mind (Ex): An Elemental Fist of 3rd level or higher gains a +2 bonus on saving throws against spells and effects from the school of enchantment, since her meditation and training improve her resistance to mind-affecting attacks.
Purity of Body (Ex): At 5th level, an Elemental Fist gains control over her body’s immune system. She gains immunity to all diseases except for supernatural and magical diseases (such as mummy rot and lycanthropy).
Evasion (Ex): An Elemental Fist of 6th level or higher can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save (such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or a fireball), he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if an Elemental Fist is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless Elemental Fist (such as one who is unconscious or paralyzed) does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Diamond Body (Su): At 9th level, an Elemental Fist is in such firm control of her own metabolism that she gains immunity to poisons of all kinds.
Wings of the Elements (Su): The power that gave the Elemental Angels their name. Gained at 10th level, this power grants the Elemental Fist the ability to manifest wings that take the form of any element he can use (including positive or negative energy) as a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. These wings are purely decorative in function and do not cause any harm if destroyed (they simply reform if damaged), but while active the Elemental Fist gains the ability to fly with a speed of 50 feet and good maneuverability. Hiding the wings is another move action.
Elemental Grace (Su): The Elemental Fist is not limited to just the destructive elements of the world. At 11th level as a standard action, he may channel the positive energy around him and deliver it to another creature with a single touch. After making a touch attack that does not provoke an attack of opportunity, the creature touched heals 10 points of damage per class level (max 150), or if the creature is healed by negative energy and damaged by positive energy, it instead takes that much damage. (In this case, the creature is entitled to a Will save (DC 10+1/2 character level+ability modifier) for half damage, and if the creature succeeds this save, its hit points cannot be reduced below 1 with this ability) After using this ability, the Elemental Fist must wait 1d4 rounds before performing it again.
Improved Evasion (Ex): At 14th level, an Elemental Fist’s evasion ability improves. He still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks such as a dragon’s breath weapon or a fireball, but henceforth he takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless Elemental Fist (such as one who is unconscious or paralyzed) does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.
Diamond Soul (Ex): At 15th level, an Elemental Fist gains spell resistance equal to her current Elemental Fist level + 10. In order to affect the Elemental Fist with a spell, a spellcaster must get a result on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level; see Spell Resistance, page 177 in the PHB) that equals or exceeds the Elemental Fist’s spell resistance.
Timeless Body (Ex): Upon attaining 17th level, an Elemental Fist no longer takes penalties to her ability scores for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any such penalties that she has already taken, however, remain in place. Bonuses still accrue, and the Elemental Fist still dies of old age when his time is up.
Perfected Elemental Fist: The Elemental Fist has master his namesake ability. At 19th level, treat the elemental fist strike as a touch attack instead of a normal attack.
Elementally Limitless (Su): Upon attaining 20th level, an Elemental Fist has mastered all there is to know about attacking with the elements, including how to mix them. The Elemental Fist now rolls 1d3 to determine how often he can use any of his elemental blast abilities. Furthermore, he may mix elements in his attacks. He may add additional elements to his attacks in the same way a Wizard using the metamagic feat Energy Admixture does to his spells. Thus, his elemental blast could deal 10d10 fire, acid and electricity damage at level 20. However, each additional element added adds 2 rounds to the wait before he can use the attack again, so in the example above, his wait until he could use his elemental burst again would be 1d3+4 rounds. He may choose to use this ability on his elemental fist attack, but it adds a 2 round cool time for each added element on it as well (making an elemental fist that dealt 3 elements in damage require 4 rounds before it could be used again). This ability may not be combined with Elemental Grace or Elemental Doom.

Class Abilities: The following are all class abilities of the Elemental Crusader.
Proficiencies: An Elemental Crusader is proficient with all simple and martial melee weapons, and all armor and shields (except tower shields).
Tongues of the Elements: Add Ignan, Aquan, Auran, Terran, Celestial, Infernal and Abyssal to the list of languages an Elemental Crusader can learn.
Elemental Combat (Ex): At 1st level, an Elemental Crusader gains the ability to call a stone warhammer to his hand. Calling the hammer is a full round action that provokes attacks of opportunity. This is his primary focus for combat. At will, he may take a move action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity to empower the head of the hammer with one element he knows, making it deal an additional 1d8 damage of that element per level (or 1d6 damage per level if dealing sonic or force damage) on his first strike each round in combat. It is in no ways possible to apply this damage more than once per round, though you may choose to instead deal it on an attack of opportunity instead. This damage is not increased on a successful critical hit. Dismissing the elemental empowerment or dismissing the hammer is a free action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. At 4th level, and every 4 levels thereafter, this weapon gains a +1 enhancement bonus (to a maximum bonus of +5 at 20th level) and is treated as magical. At 7th level, treat his hammer as adamantine for purposes of overcoming damage reduction and hardness. At 12th level, treat his hammer as having his alignment for purposes of overcoming damage reduction. At 17th level, treat it as having the ghost touch special quality.
Capable Combat: An Elemental Crusader is good at combat. He counts as a Fighter of his level for the purpose of qualifying for feats.
Known Elements: The Elemental Crusader doesn't start with the ability to attack with all the elements. He gains the power to use them gradually over time. At 1st, he may pick one of the following elements: fire, cold, acid, electricity. He can use that element in his elemental combat ability, and gains resistance to it equal to his class level. Every 3 levels thereafter (4th, 7th, 10th) he may choose another off the list. At 13th level, he gains sonic energy to attack with. At 16th, he gains force. At 19th, he gains negative energy.
Elementally Untouchable (Ex): An Elemental Crusader gains resistance to fire, cold, acid, electricity, sonic, force, and negative energy damage equal to his class level, but he is only resistant to the elements on said list that he can actually attack with. Thus, he'll resist one element at 1st level, and gain an additional resistance every 3 levels until he can resist all of them.
Elemental Survival (Su): At 2nd level, an Elemental Crusader gains his Cha modifier as a bonus to all his saves.
Elemental Order (Su): At 3rd level, an Elemental Crusader may turn or rebuke creatures of the elemental subtypes fire, cold, acid, earth, electricity, air or sonic as a Cleric of his level 3+Cha mod times per day.
Elemental Vision (Su): At 4th level, an Elemental Crusader gains the ability to summon to himself a magical headpiece that covers his eyes as a full round action that provokes an attack of opportunity. This piece grants him the ability to detect elements at will (as the spell detect magic, but detects auras of the subtypes fire, cold, acid, earth, electricity, air or sonic instead). Only the first level of the spell is always active (the ability to perceive the presence or absence elemental auras); in order to detect how many or how powerful the auras are, you need to concentrate on the power. One round of concentration determines the number of auras and the strength of the most powerful aura. Two rounds determines the strength and location of each aura. If the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, you can make Knowledge (Arcana) skill checks to determine the element of each aura (provided it isn't painfully obvious at a glance, of course).
Elemental Fury (Ex): At 5th level, an Elemental Crusader gains the ability to channel an element of his choice with a passionate rage in battle. His stats increase, granting +2 Str and +2 Con, and he is enshrouded in one element of his choice that he knows; he may change this element to another he knows at any time during his elemental fury as a free action. Any creature successfully striking him in melee (but not ranged) combat takes 1d4 damage of that element per class level. The increase in Constitution increases the Elemental Crusader’s hit points by 1 point per level, but these hit points go away at the end of the rage when his Constitution score drops back to normal. An elemental fury lasts for 3 + Cha mod rounds, at the end of which the Elemental Crusader is fatigued; this penalty goes away at 15th level. He may enter an elemental fury once per day per 5 Elemental Crusader levels he possesses (to a maximum of 4 times a day at 20th level).
Elemental Grace (Su): The Elemental Crusader is not limited to just the destructive elements of the world. At 6th level as a standard action, he may channel the positive energy around him and deliver it to another creature with a single touch. After making a touch attack that does not provoke an attack of opportunity, the creature touched heals 10 points of damage per class level (max 150), or if the creature is healed by negative energy and damaged by positive energy, it instead takes that much damage. (In this case, the creature is entitled to a Will save (DC 10+1/2 character level+ability modifier) for half damage, and if the creature succeeds this save, its hit points cannot be reduced below 1 with this ability) After using this ability, the Elemental Crusader must wait 1d4 rounds before performing it again.
Elemental Speed (Su): At 8th level, an Elemental Crusader may shroud his feet in sonic energy as a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity, granting him a speed boost equal to 10 feet per six class levels. Dismissing this power is a free action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Elemental Feat: At 9th level, you gain Elemental Combat Shaping as a bonus feat.
Wings of the Elements (Su): The power that gave the Elemental Angels their name. Gained at 10th level, this power grants the Elemental Crusader the ability to manifest wings of fire as a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. These wings are purely decorative in function and do not cause any harm if destroyed (they simply reform if damaged), but while active the Elemental Fist gains the ability to fly with a speed of 50 feet and good maneuverability. Hiding the wings is another move action.
Improved Elemental Fury: At 11th level, the Elemental Crusader knows how to give himself over to the elements more when in a fury. Whenever he enters an Elemental Fury, his bonus to Strength and Constitution increases to +4, and the damage dealt when a foe strikes him increases to 1d6 per level.
Elemental Guard (Su): At 12th level, an Elemental Crusader has mastered the art of defense. He may summon a shield of ice to protect himself with as a full round action that provokes an attack of opportunity. Dismissing the shield is a free action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. This is a large shield that provides a +3 deflection bonus to AC, has no arcane spell chance or armor check penalty, no maximum Dexterity bonus, and weighs 10 pounds. Furthermore, it has the power to block elemental magic cast at the Elemental Crusader. Any spell with an elemental descriptor (fire, cold, acid, electricity, sonic, force) has a 50% chance of not effecting the Elemental Crusader. At 17th level, if he is using the total defense option, he instead has a 50% chance of deflecting the spell back at the caster.
Whirling Elemental Fury: An Elemental Crusader is a whirling maelstrom of elemental death when in a fury. Starting at 14th level, when in an Elemental Fury, the Elemental Crusader may make a full found attack that strikes every foe around him for full damage and full Elemental Combat damage. He may use this ability outside of a fury if he has the Whirlwind Attack feat, but doing so discharges the element in his hammer and leaves him fatigued for three rounds.
Elemental Defense (Su): At 16th level, an Elemental Crusader knows how to defend himself from attacks. He may take a full round action that provokes attacks of opportunity to enshroud himself in armor made of force. This armor is effective against incorporeal attacks as well as normal attacks. It is considered medium armor, has no penalty to movement or arcane spell failure chance, a +8 bonus to AC, no armor check penalty, and is considered weightless. Furthermore, it grants spell resistance equal to the Elemental Crusader's class level + 10.
Perfected Elemental Combat: An Elemental Crusader has mastered elemental combat by now. Starting at 17th level, treat the elemental combat strike that deals extra elemental damage as a touch attack from now on.
Elemental Enhancement: An Elemental Crusader is bolstered by the elements he wields. Starting at 18th level, treat the Elemental Crusader as one size larger whenever it would benefit him. Additionally, any time he summons his Elemental Combat weapon, it is also one size larger. Finally, when in an Elemental Fury, he can no longer contain the power of the elemental aura that surrounds him; any creature within 5 feet of him at the start of his turn takes damage as if they had struck him.
Elemental Obliteration(Ex): An Elemental Crusader of 20th level has mastered his art; he may channel a single element he knows into his strike using any weapon he is proficient with as if it were his weapon from elemental combat. His elemental combat weapon is still the stronger weapon, however. He may apply 2 elements to his normal attack when using his elemental combat weapon from now on. Both these elements must be applied to the same single strike.
His greatest power, however, is the power of elemental obliteration. As a full round action that provokes attacks of opportunity, he may make a single strike with his Elemental Combat weapon against a single foe at his highest BAB, imbuing the strike with the very might of nature itself. This strike deals full elemental damage for every element he knows. This power comes at a cost, though: his elemental combat, elemental vision, elemental fury, elemental speed, wings of the elements, elemental guard, and elemental defense are all immediately dispelled, and he cannot summon them again for one round per class level. Further, he is fatigued for one round per class level.
______________________________________
More classes to come; PEACH
This has been a labor of love for a long time now. I started this originally as a single class, the Elemental Angel. I worked for some time trying to get it to work, and finally gave up. After reading NeoSeraphi's Supernal Destroyer PrC, I finally realized what I did wrong: I had tried to put too much into one class. Thus, the Elemental Angel became the Order of Elemental Angels, consisting of 3 distinct base classes, one of which has 4 basic types (all will be posted in due time). I also have at least one PrC in mind, and maybe a few feats.
Please, be totally honest in your opinions. I want this to be a fantastic order that could fit in most any world with little work. Thank you and enjoy. :smallsmile:
Credit where credit is due: NeoSeraphi contributed the Elemental Grace and Elemental Doom abilities. Elemental Burst...While the original idea for it did not come from NeoSeraphi, the scope it should cover certainly did, leading me to make him able to use all elements, and more shapes than intended originally (I originally planed to give them one element, ray, line and cone).
EDIT: Elemental Crusader is done and up. :smallsmile:
Long ago, there lived a Monk in a monastery. He was young and new to his craft, though he was most gifted in unarmed combat. His powers differed from those of his companions, however. Where they all seemed to have simple quasimagical abilities, his seems stinted, blocked. Knowing that his power existed within him, he went out into the world to find enlightenment. He searched the world far and wide for many years, and in his travels, he witnessed the raw power of the earth and the planes: the fires of a volcano, the great wonders of caves, the frigid cold of a mountaintop, the might of a storm, the unrivaled destruction of unholy powers, the great healing of the divine light, the roar of the mighty beasts, and the great might of pure arcane power known as force.
As he studied the mighty elements, his blood stirred within him, and he felt he had found his calling. He mastered both mind and body on his travels, swearing off weapons and armaments to focus on the perfection of self, and at last reached an epiphany: blood is imbued with the elements. And with this understanding came the release of his innate gifts, the flood of the elements that flowed in him. Thus, he became the first Elemental Angel, an Elemental Fist.
He returned to his monastery, where he began to teach of his journeys and strange powers. To his surprise, few were able to follow his path, and fewer still inclined to do so. Many believed he had obtained his power in nefarious and unsavory ways, and he was soon driven out with the few disciples he had gathered.
On the road again, he traveled far and wide, teaching his strange elemental way, and soon found one who listened and learned, a Paladin of a deity of nature. He learned the ways of the old Monk and thought long on them. After some time in thought and practice, he unlocked a new art, and called himself the Elemental Crusader. Together, he and the old Monk traveled the world, using their gifts to fight for nature.
Eventually, they decided to build a school together, a place where people could come from all around and learn the ways of the elements and the sanctity of nature. Shortly thereafter, a student came to them who was gifted not in all elements, but in a single element. Both the old masters were impressed with his gifts, and the three spent many hours in practice and discussion, and soon named the new kind of power the lad had obtained. Thus, he became the first Elemental Wing.
It has been many years since the founding of the school. All three of the original masters have since passed into the next world, but their legacy lives on in the powers they taught. Today, there are many Elemental Angels in the world, both members of the school and self taught. They strive to defend nature across the realms, and are ruthless in the extermination of those who despoil the land.
No one knows why some become Elemental Angels and others do not. Some believe it to be an innate gift like a Sorcerer's magic. Others believe it to be a curse not unlike Warlock powers. But most believe that the blood of many elementals and outsiders flows in them, granting them powers both wondrous and terrifying. Whatever the cause, it's undeniable fact that those races of mixed bloods are more likely to be Elemental Angels than most, and mongrelfolk are the most likely to become them.
Elemental Angels are usually well received by most classes. Elemental Crusaders and Elemental Fists undeniable power in both melee and ranged combat makes them valuable on the battlefield, and their ability to heal makes them much sought after once the battle has ended. Elemental Wings are far more focused, but none can deny their sheer overwhelming power on the battlefield.
Elemental Crusaders and Elemental Fists tend to lean more towards lawful alignments, simply because of the dedication required to unlock and master their powers, though they are by no means always so. Elemental Wings tend to lean more towards chaotic alignments, though there are lawful ones. Elemental Angels have no real inclination one way or the other to good or evil, but will always have a drive to either help or destroy; they are never morally neutral.

Class Abilities: The following are all class abilities of the Elemental Fist.
Proficiencies: An Elemental Fist gains no weapon or armor proficiencies save unarmed and quarterstaff. He gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat at first level.
Tongues of the Elements: Add Ignan, Aquan, Auran, Terran, Celestial, Infernal and Abyssal to the list of languages an Elemental Fist can learn.
AC Bonus (Ex): An Elemental Fist is well trained in combat, and gets his Wisdom modifier as a bonus to AC. Furthermore, at 4th level and every 4 levels thereafter, the Elemental Fist gains an additional +1 to his AC while unarmored and carrying a light load or unencumbered.
Known Elements: The Elemental Fist doesn't start with the ability to attack with all the elements. He gains the power to use them gradually over time. At level one, he may pick one of the following elements: fire, cold, acid, electricity. He can use that element in any of his elemental powers, and gains resistance to it equal to his class level. Every 3 levels thereafter (4th, 7th, 10th) he may choose another off the list. At 13th level, he gains sonic energy to attack with. At 16th, he gains force. At 19th, he gains negative energy.
Elementally Untouchable (Ex): An Elemental Fist gains resistance to fire, cold, acid, electricity, sonic, force and negative energy damage equal to his class level, but he is only resistant to the elements on said list that he can actually attack with. Thus, he'll resist one element at 1st level, and gain an additional resistance every 3 levels until he can resist all of them.
Elemental Fist (Su): The main feature of the class, an Elemental Fist gains the ability to channel the elements into his strikes. He may add 1d10 of any element he knows to one unarmed strike he makes at any time during the round as a free action. This ability may be used at any time during the round, so you may add it to an attack of opportunity should you so choose. This damage increases by one die at every odd numbered class level (2d10 at 3rd, 3d10 at 5th, et cetera). When he learns sonic and force, he may use them with this ability, but they do only 1d8 per odd class level.
Elemental Blast (Su): The Elemental Fist's control over elements increases as he gains levels. At 2nd level, he gains the ability to fire a single ray of one element he knows at a foe with a range of 120 feet (essentially, make a ranged touch attack on one foe, dealing purely elemental damage equal to the bonus damage your elemental fist ability normally would); this is the only use of this attack without a Ref save for half damage. You may use any element you have access to to make this attack with, chosen at the time you use the ability. This ability may be used once every 1d4 rounds, and does not count as your use of the elemental fist ability for that round. At 4th level, his mastery has grown; he may now make a line attack with a range of 60 feet. At 8th level, he gains the ability to use a burst shape (circular burst centered on you) with a radius of 15 feet. At 12th level, he may use a cone shape with a range of 30 feet. At 16th level, he may use a blast shape (circular blast with a range of medium) with a radius of 10 feet. At 18th level, all the ranges on his elemental blasts double in both distance and blast radius. The line, burst, cone and blast shapes all allow a Ref save for half damage; the save DC is (DC 10+1/2 class level+Con modifier).
Still Mind (Ex): An Elemental Fist of 3rd level or higher gains a +2 bonus on saving throws against spells and effects from the school of enchantment, since her meditation and training improve her resistance to mind-affecting attacks.
Purity of Body (Ex): At 5th level, an Elemental Fist gains control over her body’s immune system. She gains immunity to all diseases except for supernatural and magical diseases (such as mummy rot and lycanthropy).
Evasion (Ex): An Elemental Fist of 6th level or higher can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save (such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or a fireball), he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if an Elemental Fist is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless Elemental Fist (such as one who is unconscious or paralyzed) does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Diamond Body (Su): At 9th level, an Elemental Fist is in such firm control of her own metabolism that she gains immunity to poisons of all kinds.
Wings of the Elements (Su): The power that gave the Elemental Angels their name. Gained at 10th level, this power grants the Elemental Fist the ability to manifest wings that take the form of any element he can use (including positive or negative energy) as a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. These wings are purely decorative in function and do not cause any harm if destroyed (they simply reform if damaged), but while active the Elemental Fist gains the ability to fly with a speed of 50 feet and good maneuverability. Hiding the wings is another move action.
Elemental Grace (Su): The Elemental Fist is not limited to just the destructive elements of the world. At 11th level as a standard action, he may channel the positive energy around him and deliver it to another creature with a single touch. After making a touch attack that does not provoke an attack of opportunity, the creature touched heals 10 points of damage per class level (max 150), or if the creature is healed by negative energy and damaged by positive energy, it instead takes that much damage. (In this case, the creature is entitled to a Will save (DC 10+1/2 character level+ability modifier) for half damage, and if the creature succeeds this save, its hit points cannot be reduced below 1 with this ability) After using this ability, the Elemental Fist must wait 1d4 rounds before performing it again.
Improved Evasion (Ex): At 14th level, an Elemental Fist’s evasion ability improves. He still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks such as a dragon’s breath weapon or a fireball, but henceforth he takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless Elemental Fist (such as one who is unconscious or paralyzed) does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.
Diamond Soul (Ex): At 15th level, an Elemental Fist gains spell resistance equal to her current Elemental Fist level + 10. In order to affect the Elemental Fist with a spell, a spellcaster must get a result on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level; see Spell Resistance, page 177 in the PHB) that equals or exceeds the Elemental Fist’s spell resistance.
Timeless Body (Ex): Upon attaining 17th level, an Elemental Fist no longer takes penalties to her ability scores for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any such penalties that she has already taken, however, remain in place. Bonuses still accrue, and the Elemental Fist still dies of old age when his time is up.
Perfected Elemental Fist: The Elemental Fist has master his namesake ability. At 19th level, treat the elemental fist strike as a touch attack instead of a normal attack.
Elementally Limitless (Su): Upon attaining 20th level, an Elemental Fist has mastered all there is to know about attacking with the elements, including how to mix them. The Elemental Fist now rolls 1d3 to determine how often he can use any of his elemental blast abilities. Furthermore, he may mix elements in his attacks. He may add additional elements to his attacks in the same way a Wizard using the metamagic feat Energy Admixture does to his spells. Thus, his elemental blast could deal 10d10 fire, acid and electricity damage at level 20. However, each additional element added adds 2 rounds to the wait before he can use the attack again, so in the example above, his wait until he could use his elemental burst again would be 1d3+4 rounds. He may choose to use this ability on his elemental fist attack, but it adds a 2 round cool time for each added element on it as well (making an elemental fist that dealt 3 elements in damage require 4 rounds before it could be used again). This ability may not be combined with Elemental Grace or Elemental Doom.

Class Abilities: The following are all class abilities of the Elemental Crusader.
Proficiencies: An Elemental Crusader is proficient with all simple and martial melee weapons, and all armor and shields (except tower shields).
Tongues of the Elements: Add Ignan, Aquan, Auran, Terran, Celestial, Infernal and Abyssal to the list of languages an Elemental Crusader can learn.
Elemental Combat (Ex): At 1st level, an Elemental Crusader gains the ability to call a stone warhammer to his hand. Calling the hammer is a full round action that provokes attacks of opportunity. This is his primary focus for combat. At will, he may take a move action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity to empower the head of the hammer with one element he knows, making it deal an additional 1d8 damage of that element per level (or 1d6 damage per level if dealing sonic or force damage) on his first strike each round in combat. It is in no ways possible to apply this damage more than once per round, though you may choose to instead deal it on an attack of opportunity instead. This damage is not increased on a successful critical hit. Dismissing the elemental empowerment or dismissing the hammer is a free action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. At 4th level, and every 4 levels thereafter, this weapon gains a +1 enhancement bonus (to a maximum bonus of +5 at 20th level) and is treated as magical. At 7th level, treat his hammer as adamantine for purposes of overcoming damage reduction and hardness. At 12th level, treat his hammer as having his alignment for purposes of overcoming damage reduction. At 17th level, treat it as having the ghost touch special quality.
Capable Combat: An Elemental Crusader is good at combat. He counts as a Fighter of his level for the purpose of qualifying for feats.
Known Elements: The Elemental Crusader doesn't start with the ability to attack with all the elements. He gains the power to use them gradually over time. At 1st, he may pick one of the following elements: fire, cold, acid, electricity. He can use that element in his elemental combat ability, and gains resistance to it equal to his class level. Every 3 levels thereafter (4th, 7th, 10th) he may choose another off the list. At 13th level, he gains sonic energy to attack with. At 16th, he gains force. At 19th, he gains negative energy.
Elementally Untouchable (Ex): An Elemental Crusader gains resistance to fire, cold, acid, electricity, sonic, force, and negative energy damage equal to his class level, but he is only resistant to the elements on said list that he can actually attack with. Thus, he'll resist one element at 1st level, and gain an additional resistance every 3 levels until he can resist all of them.
Elemental Survival (Su): At 2nd level, an Elemental Crusader gains his Cha modifier as a bonus to all his saves.
Elemental Order (Su): At 3rd level, an Elemental Crusader may turn or rebuke creatures of the elemental subtypes fire, cold, acid, earth, electricity, air or sonic as a Cleric of his level 3+Cha mod times per day.
Elemental Vision (Su): At 4th level, an Elemental Crusader gains the ability to summon to himself a magical headpiece that covers his eyes as a full round action that provokes an attack of opportunity. This piece grants him the ability to detect elements at will (as the spell detect magic, but detects auras of the subtypes fire, cold, acid, earth, electricity, air or sonic instead). Only the first level of the spell is always active (the ability to perceive the presence or absence elemental auras); in order to detect how many or how powerful the auras are, you need to concentrate on the power. One round of concentration determines the number of auras and the strength of the most powerful aura. Two rounds determines the strength and location of each aura. If the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, you can make Knowledge (Arcana) skill checks to determine the element of each aura (provided it isn't painfully obvious at a glance, of course).
Elemental Fury (Ex): At 5th level, an Elemental Crusader gains the ability to channel an element of his choice with a passionate rage in battle. His stats increase, granting +2 Str and +2 Con, and he is enshrouded in one element of his choice that he knows; he may change this element to another he knows at any time during his elemental fury as a free action. Any creature successfully striking him in melee (but not ranged) combat takes 1d4 damage of that element per class level. The increase in Constitution increases the Elemental Crusader’s hit points by 1 point per level, but these hit points go away at the end of the rage when his Constitution score drops back to normal. An elemental fury lasts for 3 + Cha mod rounds, at the end of which the Elemental Crusader is fatigued; this penalty goes away at 15th level. He may enter an elemental fury once per day per 5 Elemental Crusader levels he possesses (to a maximum of 4 times a day at 20th level).
Elemental Grace (Su): The Elemental Crusader is not limited to just the destructive elements of the world. At 6th level as a standard action, he may channel the positive energy around him and deliver it to another creature with a single touch. After making a touch attack that does not provoke an attack of opportunity, the creature touched heals 10 points of damage per class level (max 150), or if the creature is healed by negative energy and damaged by positive energy, it instead takes that much damage. (In this case, the creature is entitled to a Will save (DC 10+1/2 character level+ability modifier) for half damage, and if the creature succeeds this save, its hit points cannot be reduced below 1 with this ability) After using this ability, the Elemental Crusader must wait 1d4 rounds before performing it again.
Elemental Speed (Su): At 8th level, an Elemental Crusader may shroud his feet in sonic energy as a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity, granting him a speed boost equal to 10 feet per six class levels. Dismissing this power is a free action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Elemental Feat: At 9th level, you gain Elemental Combat Shaping as a bonus feat.
Wings of the Elements (Su): The power that gave the Elemental Angels their name. Gained at 10th level, this power grants the Elemental Crusader the ability to manifest wings of fire as a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. These wings are purely decorative in function and do not cause any harm if destroyed (they simply reform if damaged), but while active the Elemental Fist gains the ability to fly with a speed of 50 feet and good maneuverability. Hiding the wings is another move action.
Improved Elemental Fury: At 11th level, the Elemental Crusader knows how to give himself over to the elements more when in a fury. Whenever he enters an Elemental Fury, his bonus to Strength and Constitution increases to +4, and the damage dealt when a foe strikes him increases to 1d6 per level.
Elemental Guard (Su): At 12th level, an Elemental Crusader has mastered the art of defense. He may summon a shield of ice to protect himself with as a full round action that provokes an attack of opportunity. Dismissing the shield is a free action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. This is a large shield that provides a +3 deflection bonus to AC, has no arcane spell chance or armor check penalty, no maximum Dexterity bonus, and weighs 10 pounds. Furthermore, it has the power to block elemental magic cast at the Elemental Crusader. Any spell with an elemental descriptor (fire, cold, acid, electricity, sonic, force) has a 50% chance of not effecting the Elemental Crusader. At 17th level, if he is using the total defense option, he instead has a 50% chance of deflecting the spell back at the caster.
Whirling Elemental Fury: An Elemental Crusader is a whirling maelstrom of elemental death when in a fury. Starting at 14th level, when in an Elemental Fury, the Elemental Crusader may make a full found attack that strikes every foe around him for full damage and full Elemental Combat damage. He may use this ability outside of a fury if he has the Whirlwind Attack feat, but doing so discharges the element in his hammer and leaves him fatigued for three rounds.
Elemental Defense (Su): At 16th level, an Elemental Crusader knows how to defend himself from attacks. He may take a full round action that provokes attacks of opportunity to enshroud himself in armor made of force. This armor is effective against incorporeal attacks as well as normal attacks. It is considered medium armor, has no penalty to movement or arcane spell failure chance, a +8 bonus to AC, no armor check penalty, and is considered weightless. Furthermore, it grants spell resistance equal to the Elemental Crusader's class level + 10.
Perfected Elemental Combat: An Elemental Crusader has mastered elemental combat by now. Starting at 17th level, treat the elemental combat strike that deals extra elemental damage as a touch attack from now on.
Elemental Enhancement: An Elemental Crusader is bolstered by the elements he wields. Starting at 18th level, treat the Elemental Crusader as one size larger whenever it would benefit him. Additionally, any time he summons his Elemental Combat weapon, it is also one size larger. Finally, when in an Elemental Fury, he can no longer contain the power of the elemental aura that surrounds him; any creature within 5 feet of him at the start of his turn takes damage as if they had struck him.
Elemental Obliteration(Ex): An Elemental Crusader of 20th level has mastered his art; he may channel a single element he knows into his strike using any weapon he is proficient with as if it were his weapon from elemental combat. His elemental combat weapon is still the stronger weapon, however. He may apply 2 elements to his normal attack when using his elemental combat weapon from now on. Both these elements must be applied to the same single strike.
His greatest power, however, is the power of elemental obliteration. As a full round action that provokes attacks of opportunity, he may make a single strike with his Elemental Combat weapon against a single foe at his highest BAB, imbuing the strike with the very might of nature itself. This strike deals full elemental damage for every element he knows. This power comes at a cost, though: his elemental combat, elemental vision, elemental fury, elemental speed, wings of the elements, elemental guard, and elemental defense are all immediately dispelled, and he cannot summon them again for one round per class level. Further, he is fatigued for one round per class level.
______________________________________
More classes to come; PEACH
This has been a labor of love for a long time now. I started this originally as a single class, the Elemental Angel. I worked for some time trying to get it to work, and finally gave up. After reading NeoSeraphi's Supernal Destroyer PrC, I finally realized what I did wrong: I had tried to put too much into one class. Thus, the Elemental Angel became the Order of Elemental Angels, consisting of 3 distinct base classes, one of which has 4 basic types (all will be posted in due time). I also have at least one PrC in mind, and maybe a few feats.
Please, be totally honest in your opinions. I want this to be a fantastic order that could fit in most any world with little work. Thank you and enjoy. :smallsmile:
Credit where credit is due: NeoSeraphi contributed the Elemental Grace and Elemental Doom abilities. Elemental Burst...While the original idea for it did not come from NeoSeraphi, the scope it should cover certainly did, leading me to make him able to use all elements, and more shapes than intended originally (I originally planed to give them one element, ray, line and cone).
EDIT: Elemental Crusader is done and up. :smallsmile:
