Element Manipulator (5e Class)
|
Element Manipulator[edit]
Element Manipulators conjure and manipulate elements to use to their advantage on the battlefield. Novice Manipulators can only manipulate a few of the 5 base elements Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and Lightning. Intermediate Manipulators can learn to combine their known elements to make the advanced elements Magma, Boil, Storm, and Erosion although, some Intermediate Manipulators hone their skills in the usage of the 5 base elements giving them the ability to wield them much more efficiently. Master Manipulators go beyond element manipulation and can manipulate far more advanced things, Mass and Light. Grand Master Manipulators go beyond mass and light and can use Dark and Time Manipulation. However, some Element Manipulators choose to go through different routes, improving on their already gained skills when they become an Intermediate or Master Manipulator.
Creating an Elemental Manipulator[edit]
Why do you manipulate? Why do you continue to learn manipulation? Why did you originally become a manipulator? These are all things that you must think about when creating a Manipulator character. What are their motives? Why do they do the things they do? Are they good or evil? Do they want to save the world or watch it burn? Is it something in between? Are they evolving as a Manipulator to protect someone or something or to hunt it?
- Quick Build
You can quickly create an Elemental Manipulator by making Intelligence your highest modifier with the rest being personal preference/character design.

Novice Manipulator[edit]
Novice Manipulators are the weakest Manipulators because they can only manipulate a small amount of the base 5 elements, Lighting, Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind. However, this doesn’t mean they should be underestimated because they are only at the beginning of their time as a manipulator as they will get a lot stronger as they learn and grow as a Manipulator.
Elements[edit]
There are several different elements that a Manipulator can manipulate. They all come in 4 different categories which are Base Elements, Advanced Elements, Complex Elements, and Advanced Complex Elements. There are 5 Base Elements, 4 Advanced Elements, 4 Complex Elements, 3 Advanced Complex Elements. The listed elements are Lightning, Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, Magma, Boil, Storm, Erosion, Mass, Light, Steel, Lava, Dark, Time, and Power in the order of which elements are in what categories. If you have multiple elements under your control, you can switch which elements you are currently manipulating as an action and bonus action. You can only have one element in use at a time. Outside of initiative, you can use all your elements whenever you want and however you want to (under your DM’s discretion). All actions using manipulation are below the feature descriptions. You can only use an amount of techniques equal to twice your Manipulator level + your Proficiency Bonus. You regain uses at the end of a long rest and half as many uses at the end of a short rest.
- Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your sepllcasting ability for your elemental techniques (detailed at the bottom of the class).
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Elemental Gain[edit]
You feel a small surge of elemental power and you can tell you have gained more of said power. At 1st, 3rd, 6th, 10th, 13th, 15th, 17th, and 20th levels you choose 1 element to gain that you have access to.
Expertise[edit]
At 2nd level, choose two of your skill proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies. At 7th level, you can choose two more of your proficiencies to gain this benefit.
Ability Score Improvement[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 10th, 12th, 16th, 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. Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.
Elemental Upgrade[edit]
At 5th, 9th, 14th, and 19th levels your elemental power gets upgraded. Choose one of the following two options:
- Quantity
You can have one more element in use, but it takes longer to switch them (Reaction to Bonus Action, Bonus Action to Action, Action to Action and Bonus Action, A&BA to A&BA&Reaction)
- Speed Switch
You can switch elements faster, but you can have one less element in use at a time (minimum of 1) (A&BA&Reaction to A&BA, A&BA to Action, Action to Bonus Action, Bonus Action to Reaction)
Intermediate Manipulator[edit]
Your experience in manipulation has increased your affinity for it. At 6th level, you can choose between gaining mastery over the five base elements and combining two elements to make advanced elements. Choose from the following two options:
- Mastery
You choose to master your current elements instead of gaining more advanced ones. Whenever you get an Elemental Gain, you can instead choose to gain a mastery point and apply it to an element that you currently have. You can only have up to 3 mastery points per element, and you cannot remove mastery points from an element. When an element is given a mastery point the damage die for any attack using that element is increased by one, as is any AC bonus or otherwise, per mastery point given to that element. If you use Elemental Armor with an element you have a Mastery Point in it will add to that AC bonus as well.
- Combination
You choose to combine the five base elements into advanced elements. Whenever you get an Elemental Gain, you can instead choose to combine two elements that you currently have to create an advanced element. The advanced elements are as follows: Magma, Boil, Storm, and Erosion. Combine Fire and Earth to get Magma, Fire and Water to get Boil, Water and Lightning to get Storm, and Earth and Wind to get Erosion. You must have both required base elements to create an advanced element.
Elemental Armor[edit]
You have learned to control your elements so finely that you are able to coat them around your body to protect you from harm. At 11th level, you can use your action to bring an element currently in use around your body to gain a +1 to AC. When this is in use, you cannot use the element that you are using for Elemental Armor. The bonus increases by 1 at 14th and 18th levels. You can activate the Elemental Armor as a bonus action at 18th level, there is also no time limit for how long you can have it active.
Master Manipulator[edit]
Your affinity for manipulation has increased even further. At 15th level, you can choose between 3 things, Force Manipulation, Combination Improvement, and Mastery Improvement. You can only choose one and you cannot choose Combination Improvement or Mastery Improvement if you didn’t choose them previously. Meaning if you chose Combination at Intermediate, you cannot choose Mastery Improvement and vice versa. You can choose Force Manipulation no matter what you chose at Intermediate.
- Force Manipulation
Instead of improving what you already have, you choose to manipulate the basic elements that hold the universe together, Light, Darkness, Mass, and Time, holding the entire universe in the palm of your hand. This is the dream of many, but not even most Manipulators can achieve this. You gain the elements Mass and Light.
- Combination Improvement
You are able to combine elements at higher levels. You are able to combine elements to create the elements Steel and Lava. Combine Earth, Fire, and Water to make Steel, and Earth, Fire, and Wind to get Lava. You must have all the required elements to create the elements. You must have chosen Combination from the Intermediate Manipulator feature to gain this one.
- Mastery Improvement
You have mastered the five base elements beyond what most Manipulators think possible. The amount of mastery points you can have per element increases by 3, and you gain 3 mastery points when you choose this option. Every element with 3 or more mastery points have all ranges doubled (calculated after the bonuses from the mastery points). Every element with 4 or more mastery points cannot be halved by any resistances and is instead halved by immunities instead of being negated by them.
Grand Master Manipulator[edit]
Your affinity for manipulation has increased to its max. At 20th level, your power is pushed to the max, far beyond what most think possible. Your choice from Master Manipulator is also what you get for this feature. Meaning if you chose Force Manipulation then that is what you get for this feature, if you chose Mastery Improvement that’s what you get for this feature, and same with Combination Improvement.
- Force Manipulation
You can control all things required for existence. You are one of the few Manipulators to have ever achieved this. You gain the Time and Dark elements.
- Combination Improvement
You are able to combine elements to their limits. You are one of the few Manipulators to have ever achieved this. You combine all of your elements together to create an ultimate element, Power. You gain the Power element.
- Mastery Improvement
You’ve never gained an element that wasn’t a base element, but you’ve made up for it in your mastery in them. You gain 3 mastery points to divide between any elements of your choosing, and the maximum mastery points an element can have increases by 3. Every element with 4 or more mastery points have their ranges doubled (after calculating Master Manipulator’s Mastery Improvement’s range doubling). Every element with 5 or more Mastery Points doesn’t get effected by Immunities or Resistances.

Time Stop (Recharge 6): As an action, you stop the flow of time. You alone take 1d4 + your Intelligence modifier (maximum of +3) turns (minimum of 1).
- Time Evasion (Recharge 5-6)
As a reaction to being hit, you stop the flow of time for a second and move out of the way. Roll 1d20 and add your Dexterity modifier. If the roll is higher than the attack roll minus your Intelligence modifier you completely avoid the attack but if you fail you take half damage. If you fail by 5 or more you take the full damage.
- Time Armor (Recharge 5-6)
As an action, you flow time around you, causing it to protect you from harm. While this is active you gain a +3 to AC and have advantage on Strength and Dexterity saving throws from spells. This effect lasts for 1 minute and cannot be active at the same time as Elemental Armor using any element.
- Time Enforcement (Recharge 5-6)
As a bonus action, before you attack with any weapon (including bows), you flow time around the weapon causing it to deal 2d8 extra damage as well as allowing you to add your Intelligence modifier to the attack roll.
Power[edit]
- Power Increase (Recharge 6)
As an action, you increase the power of yourself or one creature you’re touching. The target gains a +5 to all attack rolls, as well as gains an AC bonus and Strength bonus equal to half your Intelligence modifier rounded up. This effect lasts an amount of minutes equal to your Intelligence modifier. This can only effect an amount of creatures equal to half your Intelligence modifier rounded down.
- Power Release Beam (Recharge 5-6)
As an action, you gather up a ball of pure power and shoot it out as a 60ft by 5ft long beam. Anyone in this area must make a Dexterity saving throw taking 8d12 Force damage on a failure.
- Power Release Bomb (Recharge 5-6)
As an action, you can touch any object that isn’t being worn or carried and turn it into a bomb. The object retains its form and any abilities and bonuses it gives, and there is no way to tell it is now a bomb. Once you have turned an object into a bomb, you can detonate it at any time as a bonus action as long as you are within 500ft of the bomb. When it’s detonated, it explodes in a 20ft radius sphere centered on the bomb. Everyone in the area of effect must make a Dexterity saving throw taking 20d6 Force damage on a failure and half as much on a success. You can have an amount of bombs active at a time equal to your Intelligence modifier and can only detonate 1 bomb every round. Each bomb lasts 1 hour. The object is completely destroyed beyond repair and recognition after detonation. If a creature is within 5ft of the bomb when it detonates, they automatically fail the saving throw.
- Power Release Weapon (Recharge 5-6)
As an action, you form pure power into any weapon of your choosing. This weapon uses your Intelligence modifier and cannot have the finesse property. It keeps all other properties and counts as magical. It deals Force damage instead of Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing, and deals 1d12 extra Force damage. You also count as proficient with it. You can also choose what color and design it has for cosmetic desire. This weapon lasts for an amount of minutes equal to your Intelligence modifier, and you can only have 2 weapons at a time. If you try to make a third the first weapon you created will disappear and the third will be created.
- Power Release Enforcement (Recharge 5-6)
As a bonus action, before you attack with any weapon (including bows), you infuse it with pure power causing it to deal 3d12 extra Force damage. This also causes a shockwave in a 10ft cone centered on the target that deals 2d12 Force damage to everything in the area of effect.
