Elemental Fist[edit]
Elemental Fists are fighters capable of channeling the power of the elemental planes to hone their own martial skills, engulfing weapons in primordial energy and unleashing it on their opponents.
Elemental Fists training requires a proper understanding of the elements and a firm grasp of how to control them. Most users and their elements are linked, as each elemental discipline utilizes the strengths of different body parts more than others and a different personality, leading some to be more attuned to certain elements than others.
Creating an Elemental Fist[edit]
When creating your elemental fighter, ask yourself how did you developed your ability to control the elements. Have you been touched by an elemental plane and have the power of controlling it tied to your lineage, or is your ability the result of years of study and training to find the connection to the elemental planes?

Unarmed Fighting[edit]
At 1st level, your unarmed strikes can deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier on a hit. If you aren't wielding any weapons or a shield when you make the attack roll, the d6 becomes a d8.
At the start of each of your turns, you can deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage to one creature grappled by you.
Elemental Strikes[edit]
Also at 1st level, you learn how to call upon the power of the elements to unleash elemental destruction upon your enemies. You learn one Elemental Strike, learning an additional one at 6th, 10th, 14th and 18th levels.
You can use your Elemental Strikes three times, regaining your uses of it after completing a long rest. You gain more uses of this feature as you gain levels in this class.
Infused Fists[edit]
Also at 2nd level, you learn to channel elemental energy to infuse your fists. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 Elemental Point to infuse your fists with any element you know.
The effect of the infusion lasts until you finish a short or long rest. While the infusion is active, once per turn your unarmed strikes are magical, and deal extra damage equal to your Elemental Damage dice of the type determined by the element. Your fists can only have one active elemental infusion at a time.
In addition, whenever you use an Elemental Strike while your fists are infused, you can end the infusion to empower your Elemental Strike.
You have a number of elemental points equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining these points after finishing a long rest.
Explosive Strike[edit]
At 6th level, you can unleash the power of the elements in a violent explosion. While your fists are infused, you can replace one attack to force all creatures in a 20-foot radius around you to make a Dexterity saving throw, or take damage equal to your Infused Fists additional damage, or half as much on a success.
Once you use this feature three times, and can't use it again until you finish a short or a long rest.
Elemental Strikes[edit]
- Frost Strike
Your attack causes cold damage. In addition, a Large or smaller creature hit by this attack must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature is frozen, having its speed reduced to 0 becoming unable to use reactions until the end of your next turn.
If your fists are infused with cold, you can end the infusion to cause the freezing effect to last for 1 minute and ignore the size of the creature. The frozen creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the curse on itself on a success.
- Flame Strike
Your attack causes fire damage. In addition, a creature hit by this attack must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, the creature is burning, taking 1d8 fire damage, plus 1d8 fire damage at the end of its next turn, unless it takes an Action to put out the flames.
If your fists are infused with fire, you can end the infusion to cause the burning effect to last for 1 minute or until the target uses an Action to end the effect.
