Elemental Martialist

Elemental Martialists can channel four elements to augment their fighting styles; Earth, Lightning, Water, Fire. Each element has a different effect on the fighter's attacks or body. 

Earth is a very defensive element, often boosting the Martialist's hardiness and tenacity. Earth Martialists are often the vanguard of an army, or the tower-shield wielding frontline warrior of a force.

Lightning is a very agile element, warriors who focus on Lightning are almost always in the front of the fight, are quick to action with no hesitation, and strike quickly before their opponent can react. 

Water is a controlling and graceful element, those who focus on Water are often rational, objective, focused, and have a tactical mind. They can shift the battlefield to their benefit during this form, leaving their allies in an advantageous position.

Fire is a delicate element for Elemental Martialists, as the warriors that focus on this augment respect (or don't) the destructive force of fire, and often will defeat their foes quickly on the battlefield. Those that dedicate to this style are often temperamental, irrational, and quick to irritation, though they are incredible assets on the battlefield.
