Special Abilities
| Cyclone (Su)
|
|
Once per encounter as a full attack action, the air elemental may use Cyclone. It may make a half move without provoking attacks of opportunity, and move into or over enemy squares while doing so. When it stops moving, any enemy figure whose space is completely or partially inside the elemental's space is violently tossed into the air. The elemental may move any and all creatures affected by cyclone to any square adjacent to its space. This is considered a forced movement and does not provoke. All creatures moved in this way may make a Reflex save versus a DC of . If they fail this save, they are rendered Prone adjacent to the air elemental. Save or not, they take points of bludgeoning damage.
|
| Bull Rush (Ex)
|
|
Any creature which is struck by the air elemental's Blast of Wind Attack is also subject, as a triggered free action, to a Bull Rush attack, even if the Air Elemental is not adjacent to them. The Air Elemental rolls 1d20+ vs the target's Maneuver Defense as normal, and the Bull Rush attempt is resolved in all other ways as normal, although it is highly unlikely the elemental will be within reach of any provoked attacks of opportunity.
|
| Shapeless (Su)
|
|
Air elementals have no solid form. They may squeeze as though two size categories smaller than their normal size with no penalties.
|
| Windy Surrounds (Ex)
|
|
Any spell, spell-like ability, feat, or other ability, which is affected by Gust of Wind (Spell), or similar effects, within 25 feet {5 squares), is affected as though affected by a Gust of Wind (Spell), as a free action, when in the presence of an Air Elemental.

Large Air Elemental
Whether a patch of odd crystals in a ruined corridor, a pool of oddly turbulent water in a forest grove, a roaring breeze even indoors, or a cozy campfire with malevolent eyes, elementals can be found almost anywhere. Many elementals are spontaneous manifestations, creatures of elemental nature that have arisen from either natural or unnatural circumstance. Other elementals are deliberately made things, summoned or created by those with malevolent purpose, set as immortal guardians or stalkers of the world.
Elementals may be fairly common or quite rare, depending upon the setting. In all cases, elementals provide plenty of challenges and fun for those heroic enough to face them.
- Air elementals seem like they should be invisible, since they are made of air, but their furious energy of movement and the vapors and debris they gather up make their location easily discerned. Air elementals are of uncertain shape and size, but striking true at their energetic core will see them dispatched just like any other monster.
- Large air elementals are about the size of a large hut.
Combat Tactics
Air elementals are pugnacious, fearless things, but they fight smart. They will immediately use their Cyclone power in any combat to disrupt the most dangerous or most difficult to hurt enemies. If they are taking damage and the fight looks lost, they will not hesitate to use their tremendous speed and maneuverability to withdraw.
Out of Combat
Air Elementals are rarely on the Prime Material plane unless summoned. In those cases, they are bound to the service of their summoner for some period of time (often until sunset or dawn of the same day, though sometimes as long as a year and a day, in the case of powerful bindings). Those who gain access to the Prime Material plane by themselves, or escape a binding rarely survive for more than a few weeks, as this plane is stifling and oppressively filled with obstacles and dirt and rocks.
- In many cases, these unbound elementals achieve a kind of insanity before fading out, usually in their last few days before dying in this very inhospitable environment so far from their home.
