Base Class: Fighter
Whether you were born on a solstice where the planes converge, visiting there in your travels, studying them intensely, or just being blessed, you have been touched by one of the elemental planes of existence.
In your youth, you were trained with the tactics of fighting with a weapon and shield, understanding that sometimes a good defense is required to give yourself an opening to implement your offense.
Your Immense training and elemental gift gave you the power to imbue that which you have learned into that which you know. Your weapon and shield have become planar relics of which your power manifests.
Whether it be a night with a flaming shield and longsword, a missionary with shield and bo staff swirling in the breeze, a sailor of frosted shield and watery scimitar, or a miner with shield and rock-like whip, you culminate upon one purpose. You are chosen to protect your chosen element’s plane.
