An elemental conduit is focused on summoning creatures from the elemental planes. Their summons act as a conduit that gives the summoner direct access to elemental spells.

Class Information

This is a summoner archetype.

Publisher: Everyman Gaming.

Hit Die: d8.

Class Features

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

Elemental Eidolon

An elemental conduit summoner always has an eidolon of the elemental subtype. If using Everyman Unchained: Eidolons, this can be an outsider of the elemental, genie or mephit subtype, an elemental animal, or an elemental ooze.

Elemental Summons (Sp)

An elemental conduit can only summon animals or creatures of the air, earth, elemental, fire, or water subtypes when using summoner abilities and spells. If a summoned creature would normally be celestial or fiendish they lose these templates and each time the elemental conduit casts a summon monster spell he must pick a simple elemental creature template that is applied to his summoned creatures: Simple Template: Aerial Creature, Simple Template: Aqueous Creature, Simple Template: Chthonic Creature, or Simple Template: Fiery Creature. See the appendix.

Elemental Conduit

When a creature of the air, earth, fire, or water subtype summoned or called by and under the control of the elemental conduit is within 30 ft., the elemental conduit 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 conduit can gain access to the spells of multiple elements by controlling different creatures. All spells that have a variable type, such as elemental aura, must be used with a type matching that of a creature the elemental conduit currently controls.
