Interesting. It’s not bad, but the red one is obviously superior because it provides a bonus to the spellcasting ability. To help that make the spellcasting ability the ability increased.

Hmm but what about the white and black ones? Casting spells using Strength or Constitution doesn’t make much sense
besides red dragons are the strongest kind of chromatic dragon
I guess. Constitution isn’t bad as a spellcasting ability, just not used officially. I’ll admit that strength is odd, though.

Elemental Guardians protect the places in the Material Plane where the elements are at their most volatile and dangerous. This might include a perilous whirlpool, a constantly erupting volcano, a gale-torn desert, or a place tormented by earthquakes. Wherever the location, Elemental Guardians protect them and creatures in the area with jealous zeal. Elemental Guardians not devoted to protecting a specific area patrol the world, guarding against encroaching elemental forces.
Elemental Alteration
At 3rd level, whichever element you have spent the most time near has changed you. You choose which element it is, or determine it randomly using the Elemental Alteration table.

Alteration

Fire

Water

Air

Earth
Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can add 1d6 damage to the damage roll of that attack. The damage type of this damage is fire if you chose Fire, acid if you chose Water, slashing if you chose Air, or bludgeoning if you chose Earth. This damage is magical. The additional damage increases to 2d6 when you reach 8th level, 3d6 when you reach 13th level, and 4d6 when you reach 18th level.
Elemental Alteration (Air)
You choose Air for your Elemental Alteration. Slashing is your damage type for the additional damage.
Elemental Alteration (Earth)
You choose Earth for your Elemental Alteration. Bludgeoning is your damage type for the additional damage.
Elemental Alteration (Fire)
You choose Fire for your Elemental Alteration. Fire is your damage type for the additional damage.
Elemental Alteration (Water)
You choose Water for your Elemental Alteration. Acid is your damage type for the additional damage.
Elemental Guardian Magic
Starting at 3rd level, you learn a cantrip as well as learning an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Elemental Guardian Spells table. The cantrip and each spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of ranger spells you know.
At 7th level, you have gained the ability to guard those you wish against mundane harm. At the end of a long rest, you can choose a number of willing creatures equal to your Wisdom modifier to protect. Whenever a chosen creature takes nonmagical bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing damage, that creature can reduce the damage by 1d12. This benefit lasts until you use it again.
Elemental Rend
At 11th level, you can spend your action to create a rend in space to one of the elemental planes at a point you can see. You choose which direction the rend faces. When you do, you can choose one of the following two options:
Torrent. The rend pours out elemental energy. Each creature in a 40-foot cone outward from the rend and in the direction which the rend faces must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. A creature takes 4d10 + your ranger level force damage, is pushed 20 feet back, and is knocked prone on a failed save. A creature takes half as much damage and isn’t knocked prone or pushed back on a successful save. The rend disappears at the end of the turn when created in this way.
Vortex. The rend pulls every creature native to the elemental plane the rend leads to within a 40-foot cone in the direction the rend faces into it. Each creature within that area meeting that description is considered to be affected by a banishment spell cast by you, except the save required is a Strength save and you needn’t maintain concentration on the spell. The rend disappears at the end of the turn when created in this way.
Respite. The rend leads to a safe place in the wilderness of the elemental plane it leads to. The rend acts as a portal to that place. To enter the rend, a creature must spend their action and their full movement. A creature exiting the rend reappears within 5 feet of the rend on the other side of it. The rend lasts for 12 hours or until you dismiss it in an action when created in this way.
You may only open a rend a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus before taking a long rest.
Avatar of the Elements
At 15th level, you can transform yourself into an avatar of the primordial chaos which makes up the Elemental Planes. You gain the following benefits:
When you are targeted by an attack and you are within 5 feet of a moving source of your chosen element that fills at least a 1-foot cube, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on that attack.
You have advantage on attack rolls against creatures within 5 feet of a moving source of your chosen element that fills at least a 1-foot cube.
You can use your bonus action to manipulate the flow of primordial energy around a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. For 1 minute, that creature’s speed is reduced or increased (your choice) by 15 feet and you can choose for that creature to ignore difficult terrain. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) and regain all uses on a short or long rest.

Overall this is pretty nice class,primordial bond feels out of place,and elemental rend seems like it would make a better capstone(being able to cast better versions of 4th level spells prof times per day is no small feat).It´s a pretty nice movement control class,and I would most likely play it at one point,with a little refinement.Elemental alteration could be changed for a more movement focused power,and if it stays the damage types should be changed (air becomes thunder,water cold).

The several races and feats with constitution as their spellcasting ability:Am I joke to you (seriously though,most feat/race casting outside of major books is done with con).

At 15th level, you can spend your action to create a rend in space to one of the elemental planes at a point you can see. You choose which direction the rend faces. When you do, you can choose one of the following two options:
Torrent. The rend pours out elemental energy. Each creature in a 40-foot cone outward from the rend and in the direction which the rend faces must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. A creature takes 4d10 + your ranger level force damage, is pushed 20 feet back, and is knocked prone on a failed save. A creature takes half as much damage and isn’t knocked prone or pushed back on a successful save. The rend disappears at the end of the turn when created in this way.
Vortex. The rend pulls every creature native to the elemental plane the rend leads to within a 40-foot cone in the direction the rend faces into it. Each creature within that area meeting that description is considered to be affected by a banishment spell cast by you, except the save required is a Strength save and you needn’t maintain concentration on the spell. The rend disappears at the end of the turn when created in this way.
Respite. The rend leads to a safe place in the wilderness of the elemental plane it leads to. The rend acts as a portal to that place. To enter the rend, a creature must spend their action and their full movement. A creature exiting the rend reappears within 5 feet of the rend on the other side of it. The rend lasts for 12 hours or until you dismiss it in an action when created in this way.
You may only open a rend a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus before taking a long rest.
Ride the current is pretty nice,I like it a lot better then primordial bond,and it fits many times better.Also on elemental alteration,you accidentally made one of the references of air bludgeoning damage.

Interesting. It’s not bad, but the red one is obviously superior because it provides a bonus to the spellcasting ability. To help that make the spellcasting ability the ability increased.

Hmm but what about the white and black ones? Casting spells using Strength or Constitution doesn’t make much sense
besides red dragons are the strongest kind of chromatic dragon

I guess. Constitution isn’t bad as a spellcasting ability, just not used officially. I’ll admit that strength is odd, though.

Made a subclass I want feedback on:
Elemental Guardians protect the places in the Material Plane where the elements are at their most volatile and dangerous. This might include a perilous whirlpool, a constantly erupting volcano, a gale-torn desert, or a place tormented by earthquakes. Wherever the location, Elemental Guardians protect them and creatures in the area with jealous zeal. Elemental Guardians not devoted to protecting a specific area patrol the world, guarding against encroaching elemental forces.
Elemental Alteration
At 3rd level, whichever element you have spent the most time near has changed you. You choose which element it is, or determine it randomly using the Elemental Alteration table.
Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can add 1d6 damage to the damage roll of that attack. The damage type of this damage is fire if you chose Fire, acid if you chose Water, slashing if you chose Air, or bludgeoning if you chose Earth. This damage is magical. The additional damage increases to 2d6 when you reach 8th level, 3d6 when you reach 13th level, and 4d6 when you reach 18th level.
Elemental Alteration (Air)
You choose Air for your Elemental Alteration. Slashing is your damage type for the additional damage.
Elemental Alteration (Earth)
You choose Earth for your Elemental Alteration. Bludgeoning is your damage type for the additional damage.
Elemental Alteration (Fire)
You choose Fire for your Elemental Alteration. Fire is your damage type for the additional damage.
Elemental Alteration (Water)
You choose Water for your Elemental Alteration. Acid is your damage type for the additional damage.
Elemental Guardian Magic
Starting at 3rd level, you learn a cantrip as well as learning an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Elemental Guardian Spells table. The cantrip and each spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of ranger spells you know.
Elemental Guardian Spells
Primordial Bond
At 7th level, you have gained the ability to guard those you wish against mundane harm. At the end of a long rest, you can choose a number of willing creatures equal to your Wisdom modifier to protect. Whenever a chosen creature takes nonmagical bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing damage, that creature can reduce the damage by 1d12. This benefit lasts until you use it again.
Elemental Rend
At 11th level, you can spend your action to create a rend in space to one of the elemental planes at a point you can see. You choose which direction the rend faces. When you do, you can choose one of the following two options:
Torrent. The rend pours out elemental energy. Each creature in a 40-foot cone outward from the rend and in the direction which the rend faces must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC.

Overall this is pretty nice class,primordial bond feels out of place,and elemental rend seems like it would make a better capstone(being able to cast better versions of 4th level spells prof times per day is no small feat).It´s a pretty nice movement control class,and I would most likely play it at one point,with a little refinement.Elemental alteration could be changed for a more movement focused power,and if it stays the damage types should be changed (air becomes thunder,water cold).
