Elemental Punch (5e Class)

Elemental Punch

Elemental Fists are fighters capable of channeling the power of the elemental planes to hone their own martial skills, sometimes transferring that power to weapons into primal energy and unleashing it on their opponents.

Training the Elemental Fists many 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 a Elemental Punch

When creating your elemental fist, ask yourself how you developed your ability to control the elements. Have you been touched by an elemental plane and have the power to control it linked to your bloodline, or is your ability the result of years of study and training to find the connection to the elemental planes?

Quick Build

You can make a Elemental Punch quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Charisma hould be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution for more life and Dexterity for more AC. Second, choose the Hermit background.

Path of the Elements

After many studies, you finally managed to tune into an element. Starting at level 1, you can choose which element you want to tune into, being Fire, Ice, and Thunder.

Your choice grants features at 1st, 3rd, 6th, 10th, 14th and 18th

save DC is calculated as follows = DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

Attack Modifier = Proficiency + Charisma Modifier

Martial Technique

Starting at 1st level, your body and mind are trained to their fullest extent, as you follow the path of elemental martial arts. You gain the following benefits below:

Metal Fists

Your fists are like sword metal, your unarmed strikes are now 1d8 instead of normal damage. In addition, you can use your Charisma, rather than Strength, for attacks and damage rolls with your unarmed strikes.

This damage increases to 1d10 at 15th level.

Elemental Soul

While not wearing armor, your AC equals 10 + your Charisma modifier + your Constitution or Dexterity modifier (choose one, you can't change your choice later). Also, when wearing light armor, you can add your Charisma modifier, rather than your Dexterity, to your AC.

You also add your Charisma modifier to your initiative rolls when wearing light or no armor.

Imbue Element

Starting at 1st level, as a bonus action, you can imbue the element you are attuned to onto your fists, weapons or other creature's weapons. Imbued attacks cause additional 1d4 damage of the chosen type on a hit. The damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown on the Imbue Element column in the table above.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain your uses of it after finishing a long rest.

Fighting Style

At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options.

Defense

While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

Double Element

You can choose a second element to use in combat, but you will only get the benefits of the first level, and you can only imbue one element at a time.

Clean Hands

When making an unarmed strike on a hit, you can make one more unarmed strike as a bonus action, but without the proficiency bonus.

Maneuvers

Starting at 2nd level, you gain maneuver points that are equal to your proficiency bonus + your Elemental Punch level. Regain all maneuver points after a long rest

As an action you can spend as many points to use a maneuver below:

Nimble Feet. When you move, you can spend maneuver points and add the number spent to your AC until you stop moving.

Feint attack. You can spend maneuver points and use a bonus action on your turn to feint, choosing a creature within 5 feet of you as your target. You have advantage on your next attack roll against that creature. If this attack hits, add the amount of point spent to the attack's damage roll.

Prevent. When another creature deals damage to you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction and spend points to reduce the damage by the number spent.

Precise Attack. When you make an unarmed attack roll against a creature, you can spend points to add it to the roll. You can use this maneuver before or after making the attack roll, but before any effects of the attack are applied.

Reaction. When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction and spend points to make a melee attack against the creature. If you hit, you add the point spent to the attack's damage roll.

Distraction. When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can spend points to distract the creature, giving your allies an opening. You add the point spent to the attack's damage roll. The next attack roll against the target by an attacker other than you has advantage if the attack is made before the start of your next turn.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 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.

Extra Attack

Resilient

At 9th level, you gain a +1 bonus to all your saving throws. This bonus increases to +2 at 13th level and +3 at 17th level.

Elemental Master

At 20th level, you become the elemental master. Because of that, you become immune to attuned damage type, and you deal additional damage equal to your Charisma modifier.

Path of the Elements

Fire

After studies, you have discovered that the Fire element is the most dangerous and many see it as uncontrollable, for its flames do not choose who will burn or stay alive they just destroy everything it touches

Resurrection of the Phoenix

Also at 1st level, when you are reduced to 0 hit points, you can choose to be reduced to 1 hit point instead. Once you do so, you can't do it again until you finish a long rest.

Fiend Fire

Starting at 3rd level, as an action, you present your holy symbol, hold out your hand and create a 60 foot by 5 feet line of jet-black flame. Additionally, each hostile creature within the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 2d10 fire damage, plus necrotic damage equal to your Elemental Fist level on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that has total cover from you is not affected.

In addition, fiend's fire area of effect is considered an area of darkness - as if created by the darkness spell, until the end of your next turn, as the black flames block the light in the area.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or a long rest.

Black Ballista

Starting at 6th level, as an action, you can create a giant arrow made of pure black flames. Make a ranged weapon attack against a creature within 120 feet. On a hit, you cause 4d10 necrotic damage with it.

The damage increases to 6d10 necrotic damage at 11th level and 8d10 at 20th level.

In addition, you can spend 2 maneuver points to use Black Ballista as a bonus action instead.

Black Flame

Starting at level 10th, when you use your imbue element feature, you can now choose to cause necrotic damage, rather than fire, by invoking black flames around you.

In addition, when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike while under the effects of Imbue Element - fire or necrotic -, you can conjure black flames, causing your body to be wreathed in dark flames and your eyes glow with a fiendish light as you raise a hand to strike down your target, causing additional 2d8 necrotic damage to it.

You can cause this additional damage a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Blast of Fire

Starting at 14th level, you shoot a bolt of fire at a creature or object you can see within 120 feet. Make a ranged attack against the target. If the attack hits, the creature takes 8d8 fire damage. If the target is a flammable creature or object, it ignites. Until a creature takes an action to put out the fire, the target takes 2d8 fire damage at the start of each of its turns.

After you hit a target with this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

You can use this equal to your proficiency and recover by resting for a long period.
