 
A crackling white bolt of lightning sears into the ground and
a thundering blast of superheated air tosses a gang of
goblins to the ground. Flashing out of the space between
sparks, a single ancient elf strides forth with ozone boiling
out of his eyes.
Flowing and weaving through the waves, a goliath scoops
downwards through the water with powerful strokes. Fish
of a dozen colors and ancient blooming strands of sea kelp
dance all around her.
Flickering flames leap and dance from a tabaxi trader’s
golden claws, casting glimmering reflections on the eyes of
a dozen fascinated strangers as he regales them with tales
of his wares, hard won from the Elemental Plane of Fire.
The world is composed of four elements. Earth, Air, Fire,
and Water. Their constant intermingling, coexistence, and
conflict generates the fundamental energy of existence and
life. An Elementalist embraces this energy, bonding
intimately with the very fabric of the world, twisting and
shaping earth, sea, sun and sky to their will.
  
Elementalists spend their time in constant meditation and
learning, but not from scrolls or dusty tomes. The elements
are best understood in their rawest form, as they appear in
nature. An Elementalist might spend a lifetime absorbed in
the way water tumbles over a great fall, or travel to a far-off
volcano in search of its fiery secrets. These pursuits often
bring them to wild frontiers, where the elements are still
untamed by civilization. Many become wanderers and
hermits, ever seeking new manifestations of elemental
energy in ever more remote bastions of wilderness.
   
No element can stand alone without the others. The world
is defined by the balance of all four elements, and no-one
knows the importance of their interplay better than an
Elementalist. When one element predominates over the
other, the wielder of that element can become dangerously
skewed. An inexperienced fire mage may find themselves
developing an awful temper, while one that wields the
power of freezing ice too readily may lose joy and vigor,
sinking into a cold depression.
Some masters choose to embrace this imbalance, taking
advantage of a certain element’s most powerful aspects and
checking the downsides with rigorous discipline. Others
cultivate an equal dominion over all the elements, dancing
from one to the next with perfect grace.
  
Elementalists are defined by their experience of the world
around them. Looking upon a grazing horse, one might feel
the presence of the earth in its hard hooves and the grass it
plucks from the ground to sustain itself. Another might see
its steaming breath, and the flash of flaming pride in its
eyes. The breeze through its mane might conjure the
memory of freedom as it gallops across rolling hills chasing
the wind, or the flowing ripples of its limbs might recall the
beating tide of life that sustains all creatures. How does
your character experience the elements?
 
You can make an Elementalist quickly by following these
suggestions. First, Wisdom should be your highest ability
score, followed by Constitution or Dexterity. Second,
choose the hermit background.


You start with the following equipment, in addition to the
equipment granted by your background:
• (a) any simple weapon or (b) a shortsword
• (a) a scholar’s pack or (b) an explorer’s pack
• a dagger, a quarterstaff, and an elemental focus
At 1st level, you have learned to align your mind and body
with a particular element, bringing that element’s magic to
the forefront of your awareness. You have four separate
entwinement dice which represent the four elements: 1d6
for Fire, 1d8 for Water, 1d10 for Air, and 1d12 for Earth.
As a bonus action, you may spend any one of those dice to
become entwined with the corresponding element.
Being entwined with an element is a lasting condition.
Your entwinement with an element ends when you entwine
with a different element. When you entwine with a new
element, you also regain one expended entwinement die of
your choice. You may not choose to regain the die of either
the element you are leaving or the element you are entering
entwinement with.
Whenever you entwine with a new element, you may
produce an instant magical effect related to that element:
Fire: Sunspot Flames surge out from your body. All other
creatures within 15 feet of you must make a Dexterity

You must have a spell prepared to cast it, and you prepare
spells by entwining with elements using the Elemental
Entwinement feature as follows:
While you are entwined with an element, you have all
of the spells you know from that element’s section of the
Elementalist spell list prepared to cast, and you lose
access to any others. While you are not entwined with an
element, you do not have any spells of that element
prepared.
You may maintain your concentration on a spell even if
you lose access to it by entwining with a different element.
 
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Elementalist
spells, as their power derives from your awareness of and
connection with the elements and their properties. You use
your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting
ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when
setting the saving throw DC for an Elementalist spell you
cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +
your Wisdom modifier

  
At 3rd level, when you entwine with an element your bond
with it bolsters your physical form. You gain certain
resistances when entwined:
Fire: Resistance to Fire and Radiant damage.
Water: Resistance to Cold and Bludgeoning damage.
Air: Resistance to Lightning and Thunder damage.
Earth: Resistance to Piercing and Slashing damage.

  

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 15th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice
by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above
20 using this feature.

 
The moment of entwinement is an instant of shifting,
unformed potential. By 9th level you have learned to take
advantage of this moment to reshape the elements as you
desire. If you cast a spell immediately after entwining with a
new element, then you may replace the damage type of that
cast with the damage type of another spell you know, from
either the previous element or the new one.

 
Upon reaching 18th level, you have strengthened your bond
with the elements to the point that you can channel
catastrophic power. When you entwine with an element,
you may choose to overload yourself instead of losing your
previous entwinement. For the next hour your existing
entwinements are not ended by entwining with a new
element, you may activate any of Elemental Entwinement’s
magical effects as a bonus action without entwining, and
you may use Chaotic Entwinement at any time, selecting
from the damage types of any spell you have prepared.
Channeling the elements this way takes a terrible toll, and
you cannot easily close yourself to this power. You cannot
leave this state until it ends. At the end of the hour you gain
one level of exhaustion and lose all your entwinements,
regaining all spent entwinement dice.


At 20th level, you are an unsurpassed grandmaster of the
elements. Channeling the four elements comes as easily to
you as breathing, and the scale of your powers can only be
described as cataclysmic. Elemental Overload no longer
exhausts you. When you are entwined with all four
elements, you may expend any number of spell slots to
trigger some monumental elemental event. Work with your
DM to determine an appropriate contextual occurrence.
The scale of this event should depend on the number of
slots expended. An Elementalist unleashing all their power
can accomplish feats like raising a river to flood, triggering
a volcanic eruption, or turning a mountain into a valley.

  
When you reach 2nd level you may select one Adept tier
trait to learn. At 6th level you may select one trait of Master
tier or lower learn. At 14th level you may select one trait of
Grandmaster tier or lower to learn.
At the end of a long rest, you can replace any trait you
have with a different one. You cannot have traits from a
certain tier unless you have at least 1 trait from each lower
tier. For example, at level 6 you can have 1 Adept trait and
1 Master trait or 2 Adept traits and no Master traits, but you
may not have 2 Master traits and no Adept traits.
 
 
When you entwine with a new element, you are no longer
restricted from regaining the entwinement die of the
element that you just ended your entwinement with.
 
When one of your spells deals fire damage to two or more
creatures at the same time, you may choose one of those
creatures and have the effect of your Sunspot (see the
Elemental Entwinement feature) instantly emanate from it.
 
When you magically restore hit points or grant temporary
hit points to one or more creatures, you may choose one of
those creatures and have your water magic burst into a
Frost Nova around that target. All creatures within 15 feet
of the target, other than the target, must make a Dexterity
saving throw against your spell-save DC. Creatures who fail
are pushed 5 feet directly away from the target and have
their speed set to 0 until the end of their next turn.
   
When you cast an instantaneous spell of 1st level or higher
and damage only one creature, it must make a Constitution
saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, your
spell is a shocking critical hit, which deals no extra damage
but does stun the target until the end of their next turn.
 
You gain an additional use of Armor of Earth, and when you
entwine with Earth you may grant two more uses of Armor
of Earth to one other creature you can see within 30 feet of
you. Other creatures granted uses of the Armor of Earth
feature by this effect do not need to be entwined with Earth
to benefit from them, lose all uses after one minute, and
cannot have more than two uses from this effect at a time.
 
 
Immediately after using a bonus action to trigger Elemental
Entwinement, you may instantly cast a cantrip within the
same bonus action. Treat its casting time as a bonus action,
per rules regarding bonus action spells on PHB pg.202.

 
When a creature fails a saving throw imposed by a spell or
effect of yours that deals fire damage, you may take a
reaction to blind it until the end of its next turn.
 
When you grant a creature hit points or temporary hit
points, you may also grant it advantage on weapon attacks
and resistance to fire, cold, lightning, bludgeoning, piercing,
and slashing damage, until the end of its next turn.
 
When one of your spells or magical effects causes one or
more creatures to become restrained, paralyzed, stunned,
pushed, or prone, you may choose one of those creatures to
be immediately struck by an Electric Discharge.
 
You gain two additional uses of Armor of Earth. Uses of
Armor of Earth that you grant to yourself or others become
reactive. When used against an attack, all creatures within
10 feet of the attack’s target other than the target must
make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC.
Creatures that fail are knocked prone and take bludgeoning
damage equal to the damage reduction value, or only take
half the damage and are not knocked prone if they pass.
 

You learn the Conjure Elemental spell, always have it
prepared, and maintain control of it without concentrating.
 
When a spell you cast ends, if it had a duration longer than
instantaneous and dealt fire damage, it leaves behind a 3rd
level Lava Font. The lava condenses from the flames of the
dying spell, at a target location you choose on the ground
within the previous spell’s area.
 
When you grant a creature hit points or temporary hit
points, if it is charmed, frightened, blinded, deafened,
poisoned, diseased, petrified, paralyzed, or stunned, you
may take a reaction to end any or all of those effects on it.
 
When you critically hit with a spell you regain your Air
entwinement die. While entwined with Air you may spend
an Air entwinement die as a bonus action to create an
Electric Discharge. You have a special chance to take an
extra bonus action in addition to the normal one each turn,
which you may only use to spend an Air entwinement die.
 
When you would fail a saving throw while entwined with
Earth you may ignore that and pass instead. You can use
this feature once, and you regain the ability to do so when
you entwine with Earth again.

slot of 4th level or higher another identical volume of lava is
created in an adjacent location you choose for each slot
level above 3rd.

4th level Transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (120-foot line)
Components: V S M (an angular clump of mud)
Duration: Instantaneous
Tear the ground in a line in front of yourself into jagged
peaks that clasp at foes. Send a rippling wave out from
yourself, which is five feet wide and travels rapidly along
the ground for 120 feet. The ground in the area of this spell
buckles and tears apart, becoming difficult terrain which
lasts until cleared. A creature struck by this spell makes a
Dexterity saving throw. Those that fail are knocked prone,
restrained, and take 3d12 bludgeoning damage. Creatures
that pass take half the damage and are neither knocked
prone nor restrained. A restrained target can use its action
to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a
success, the target shatters the stones pinning it and is no
longer restrained.

5th level Conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot radius, 30-foot height cylinder)
Components: V S M (a fistful of fine sand)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes.
Fine sand swirls out from you, churning through the air
throughout a cylindrical area of 30-foot radius and 30-foot
height. The area is heavily obscured, and creatures within
also have disadvantage on perception checks made using
hearing or smell. Unprotected air-breathing creatures
within the area must hold their breath or begin to suffocate.
A creature attempting to fly in the area must spend four feet
of movement for each foot it moves. When a creature enters
the area on its turn or starts its turn there, it must make a
Constitution saving throw, taking 1d6 slashing and 1d6
piercing damage on a failure or half as much if it passes.
The swirling area of the storm excludes a central eye,
which is a 5-foot radius cylinder of the same height as the
storm centered on you. The eye of the storm is perfectly
calm and not subject to any of the effects of this spell. Both
the storm and the eye move with you.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 6th level or higher the exterior radius and height
increase by 20 feet for each slot level above 5th.

6th level Transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (10-foot radius, 300-foot height cylinder)
Components: V S M (a singed piece of down)
Duration: Instantaneous
Ignite yourself, turning your body to flame. You take 16d6
fire damage as you fuel a searing jet of flame, flaring up into
the sky. Each creature in a 10-foot radius, 300-foot high
cylinder centered on you must make a Dexterity saving
throw, taking the same damage on a failure or half as much
on a success. The pillar of flame ignites objects and burns
through flammable obstacles such as wooden structures or
thin metals. If this damage reduces you to 0 hit points, your
unconscious body remains wreathed in mundane fire and
you regain 1 hit point at the end of your next turn unless the
flames are extinguished before that time or you die.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 7th level or higher the damage increases by 1d6 for
each slot level above 6th.

These rules are optional additions or tweaks. Choose these
carefully, in consultation with your DM, to best suit the
nature of your table and game.

The Elementalist offers the choice of three traits rather
than a traditional subclass choice. If you prefer a more rigid
structure, organize the traits into subclass lines by the
order in which they appear. For example, if a player
chooses the second Adept trait Burning Fire at level 2, at
level 6 they would receive the second Master trait Blinding
Ashes and at level 14 they would receive the second
Grandmaster trait Persisting Flames.
 
Demands careful planning and strategy, and heavily
reduces the power level of the Elementalist overall. You
can’t entwine if you entwined during your last turn.

Offers great potential for flexibility and creativity but may
also enable repetitive use of the same elements. When you
entwine with a new element, you don’t lose entwinement
with the previous element until the end of that turn.

Encourages players to be immersed and appreciate the
world around them. When you cast a spell from within a
matching natural environment, such as casting an air spell
on a high cliff during a thunderstorm, your corresponding
spells are cast as if you had spent a spell slot of one level
higher than the level of the slot you actually expended.

 
Emphasizes the wild and unrestrained nature of the
elements. The range and radii of effects produced by your
Elemental Entwinement feature are doubled, but you
cannot choose not to produce them when you entwine.

In a game following the multi-classing rules (PHB pg.163),
these additional rules apply to the Elementalist.
Multiclassing Prerequisites: To qualify for a level in this
class, you must have a Wisdom score of 13 or higher.
Multiclassing Proficiencies: When you gain your first level
in this class, if it wasn’t your initial class, you don’t gain any
of its starting proficiencies.
Spellcasting: Elemental magic is primal and unique.
Elementalist levels are not considered when determining
how many spell slots a character otherwise has. A
character has Elementalist-specific spell slots determined
according to its Elementalist level, and knows and prepares
spells as an Elementalist independently of any other
method by which it could know or prepare spells. If a
character knows or prepares a spell only due to having
Elementalist levels and the Elemental Entwinement
feature, those spells cannot be considered for any other
purpose other than to be cast using Elementalist spell slots.
Elementalist spell slots and features which refer to casting
spells cannot be used for any purpose other than as
pertains to casting spells prepared by the Elemental
Entwinement feature.
