Electromancer (3.5e Class)
From D&D Wiki
Electromancers[edit]
After being born with the latent arcane and mystical art of electromancy these illusive sorcerers tend to hide themselves away in secrecy in the mountains to hone their skills and are frequently the cause of deadly and outstanding storms making them feared far and wide. With a spell unique to a electromancer where they can physically embody themselves in electricity and anything that they come in contact with, they can properly bolster their spells and powers with the drawback of their own form becoming unstable. The Electromancers are the mirror class of the more primal and irrational Pyromancer and Cryomancer, again, another branch of magic.
The infamous electromancers of the northern mountains train themselves in their own art. Any electromancer lost or in need of help often seek the electrostatic order to seek sanctuary from the normally judgmental wizards of the paper tower and too noticeable to fit in with the underground necromancers and street sorcerers even though they share a common magical ground.
Making a Electromancer[edit]
As a class, the electromancer is both an effective damage dealer and a brilliant support for other magical classes. The wide range of spells available to the electromancer, like their cousins, the Pyromancers share most of their spells with the sorcerer but with a penalty of a 10% chance to fail any spell not wholly unique to them and are only capable of learning half as many spells as would normally be available to a sorcerer plus their own, class specific spells.
Abilities: For all intents and purposes the electromancer is same as sorcerer in abilities.
Races: Any race that can be born a Sorcerer can be born a Electromancer.
Alignment: The Electromancers can take any alignment except chaotic, else suffer the consequences. Every time a electromancer betrays their affiliation in a chaotic manner they incur a shock burden. The shock burden is a sign of instability in a electromancer and will augment their powers, but at a cost...
1. One shock burden will increase the damage of all electric spells by 1d2 Damage per level, physically however the electromancer will become pale and their hair will turn grey, along with a noticeably charged aura.
2. Two shock burdens augment the Electromancer's electromancy damage by 1d4/level and will show themselves physically as small veins of lightning running the spine of the electromancer and white blue eyes with streaks of lightning coming out they also have the same grey hair.
3. Three shock burdens will create major instability in the Electromancer's own physiology with them intermittently taking their shock shield and along with the previous physical side effects. Three burdens will however add 2d4/level to the damage of the Electromancers's spells.
4. Four shock burdens will be the final line for the Electromancer. Alongside the increase in shock burdens the Electromancer now gains 3d5/level extra damage to their spells and if the target is killed then they will explode and be unresurrectable. This is the final stage of the physical transformation and is only held as a viable option by the insane or the extremely skilled. These are known as the Static-Bodied and as such carry a social stigma and are publicly outcast at best or hunted down at worst.
5. Five. If a electromancer manages to accumulate five shock burdens they will be surrounded by pillars of electricity with them being the conduit the electromancer after 3 minuets the electromancer explodes on par with a large scale natural disaster. Everything within a 350 ft. radius is burned and surrounded by electricity and all living things within this radius are killed unless protected specifically by very strong magical means. However, no amount of magic will save the Electromancer, by any means.
