Features

Passives

  • Head in the Clouds

    Before they make their first attack in a fight or after they become Hidden, the Elemental is indistinguishable from other clouds until their next attack or a PC succeeds on an Instinct Roll to identify them.

  • Surge Life
    fear 2

    When the PCs enter the scene activate a Life Surge countdown (6). This countdown ticks down when a PC rolls with Fear. When the countdown ends, Spend 2 Fear to summon a Minor Earth Elemental at target grounded location within Far range. Spend a Fear to restart the countdown.

Actions

  • Lightning Breath
    fear 2

    Once per scene, unleash a devastating area attack affecting all enemies within Close range, dealing 1d12 damage. Mark a Stress to use more than once per scene.

  • Eye of the Storm
    stress 1

    Mark a Stress to choose a point within Far range. The ground within Very Close range of that point is a calm safe-zone. All creatures within Close and Far range must make an Agility or Strength Reaction Roll. Targets who fail take 3d8 magic damage from the storm. Targets who succeed take half damage.

Reactions

  • Consume Nimbus

    Three times per scene, when the Elemental moves on top of a cloud or source of air, consume them to clear an HP or a Stress.
