Elemental Sage

Elemental sage's are a magical anomally. Not a lot is known how they come to be but they are born with magic in there blood that allows them to manipulate four major elements in the world, Fire, Cold, Electric, and Sonic. There magic works different from usual spell casters an often they don't realize there power till later in life. For this reason a lot of Energy sage's are already well versed in melee or ranged combat. Once there powers emerge they still rely heavily on there chosen weapons.

Making an Energy Sage

Abilities: Elemental sages are proficient in all simple and martial weapons because of having no magical power earlier in life they had to rely on physical weapons. Because of this they benefit from high strength and constitution. Even though they have no spells they do have certain powers that act like spells and all modifiers and saves are pulled from the Intelligence stat.

Races: There seems to be no race discrimination but humans and elves are more likely because magic flows more freely in those bloodlines.

Alignment: The Sage's powers come directly from there own pool of magic and do not need to be blessed by any gods in particular. That doesn't mean they aren't religious but they can be any alignment without having to worry about losing abilities.

Starting Gold: 5d4×10 gp (On average 125 gp.)

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Elemental Sage.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Elemental Sages are proficient in one handed simple and martial weapons. If an elemental sage does not have a free hand he/she cannot properly cast their spells. This also means that typically do not use shields because of the spell failure. They are free however to use light or medium armor without worrying about spell failure.

Spells: Elemental Sages have spell like abilities that use magic power. You get a certain amount of MP per day depending on your level and you cannot recover them other than waiting a day to reset much like spell slots in the wizard or sorcerer classes. Because of this there spells do not require somatic ingredients or even verbal incantations. They need only a free hand to cast. Also they have a specific set of powers they are limited to and can not learn spells drawn from the arcane or divine spell lists. Only one power can be used per turn.
