The elementals of the pseudoelemental plane, force elementals are almost translucent, just a vaguely seen shape in the light. It is hard to make out the details of a force elemental, they resemble a humanoid shape of energy and hardness. In their native environment they are contemplative beings. Needing no sustenance they simply float among the planes of force, the smaller ones occasionally fleeing the more predatory of the force eaters.

Force elementals speak aetherion, the elemental tongue of Force, but rarely choose to do so. Their voice is an unearthly resonance almost electrical in nature.

Combat:

Force elementals make use of their aerial maneuverability and the reach of their force blast prefering to only briefly come within the reach of foes if at all.

Force Blast (Su): As a standard action a force elemental may release a blast of pure force in a cone. This force deals damage within the area, Reflex halves, and any creature that fails their Reflex save must make a Fortitude save or be pushed away from the force elemental as far as possible or until it is outside of the area of effect (furthest away creatures are pushed back first). The area, save DC, and damage of the blast for each size of Force Elemental is listed below; the save DC is Constitution based and beginning at Large the save DC includes +2 from Ability Focus. Once a force elemental uses its Force Blast it may not use it again for 1d4+1 rounds.

Category	Damage	Area	Save DC
Small	1d8	15-ft	12
Medium	2d8	15-ft	14
Large	4d8	30-ft	20
Huge	6d8	30-ft	26
Greater	8d8	60-ft	28
Elder	10d8	60-ft	30

Force Immunity (Ex): Large and larger force elementals are immune to damage from force effects as they can harmlessly absorb the impacting energy. As a full round action they may pass through a solid force effect such as a Wall of Forceor Forcecage.

Living Silhouette (Ex): A force elemental is by its very nature transparent and hard to see. Attacks against a force elemental suffer a 20% miss chance as if it had concealment. In addition this partially invisible state aids it in hiding, a moving force elemental may hide without cover or concealment at a -10 penalty, and an immobile force elemental suffers no penalty to do so although if it moves to begin an attack (including a force blast) or use Manipulate Force it is considered to be moving. Finally a force elemental gains a +6 racial bonus to hide.

See Invisibility has no ability to mitigate this translucent nature, though a True Seeing spell causes the elemental’s outline to become more distinct negating the advantages granted by this ability.

Manipulate Force (Su): A force elemental may, as a standard action, move an object at a range. This functions as the sustained force use of telekinesis except as listed here, and cannot affect attended objects. The maximum weight a force elemental may affect is listed on the table below, as is the maximum range at which it may move an object, and the maximum speed.

Category	Weight	Range	Speed
Small	20 lbs	60 ft	20 ft
Medium	80 lbs	80 ft	20 ft
Large	300 lbs	120 ft	40 ft
Huge	1200 lbs	160 ft	40 ft
Greater	2500 lbs	200 ft	60 ft
Elder	5000 lbs	240 ft	60 ft
