Class Features

The elemental summoner has all the summoner's class features, except as described here.

Elemental Eidolon

An elemental summoner summoner always has an elemental eidolon. This can be an elemental, a genie, or an elemental animal.

Elemental Summons (Sp)

An elemental summoner can only summon animals or creatures of the air, earth, elemental, fire, or water subtypes when using summoning or planar binding spells and abilities. All animals summoned by the elemental summoner must pick a simple elemental creature template: Simple Template: Aerial Creature, Simple Template: Aqueous Creature, Simple Template: Chthonic Creature, or Simple Template: Fiery Creature.

Elemental Conduit

When a creature of the air, earth, fire, or water subtype summoned or called by and under the control of the elemental summoner is within 30 ft., the elemental summoner gains access to additional spells. These spells are added to the spell list and to spells known, and can be cast like any other summoner spell. Each element adds a separate list of spells, and the elemental summoner can gain access to the spells of multiple elements. Not that animals summoned with the above simple templates do not have an elemental subtype. All spells that have a variable type, such as elemental touch, must be used with a type matching that of the creature that provided the elemental conduit.
