The Primordials once wrought the very essence of theearth from the chaos of nothingness. Like they once did,you wield the power to directly mold the elements withfinesse and explicit intent to create the tools you requireto perform your works. All architects use the building blocks of life as their instruments though whether youdo so to protect and defend your allies, or to causeexcruciating suffering to your enemies is up to you.Many architects grow up in abject loneliness, notknowing from whence their power came, and beingmisunderstood by those around them. There is a smallsurviving school of architects that existed before thegreat purging, perhaps you were found by them early andgrow up in their care.Regardless of how you were raised, you were bornwith an innate connection to the very power that drovethe Primordials. Yours is a path to greatness, if you cansurvive the turmoil that such power brings.

ARCHITECT OVERVIEW
Characteristics:
As an elemental leader, you havesome similarities with your arcane counterpart, the bard.Both of you are leaders that can do decent mid-rangeddamage, but that is where your similarities end. Bards ply their way with song and music, while you directlycontrol the forces of the material world to do your bidding. You heal through directly curing wounds, andcan transform your weapons into raw elemental forces todestroy your foe.
Religion:
Religion is a touchy issue with those whofollow the path of the Primordials. While very few whowield Elemental power are devoted to the cause of a particular Primordial, few gods will welcome you.Among those that occasionally do welcome architectsare: Ioun, Melora, the Raven Queen and Sheanine.
Races:
The Sylph are the preeminent architects, their elemental nature naturally leading them down a path of its control as architects of war. Deva, although oftenassociated with the gods of the astral sea, have a naturalaffinity with the nature of the world itself andoccasionally they will take up the mantle of an architectof peace. Dwarves and Qallupilluk also make excellentarchitects.

MPLEMENTS
Architects can wield a number of different implements toaid them in their elemental control. They can wield rods,wands and can channel through an elemental brand(page 25), a special kind of implement that is only usable by those who have the ability to channel the ElementalChaos. When you wield an implement you can add itsenhancement bonus to the attack rolls and the damagerolls of architect powers and architect paragon path powers that have the implement keyword. Without animplement, you can still use these powers.
TRANSFIGURATION AND TERRAIN
Thematically, the architect uses the transfiguration of theworld around her to achieve the fantastical feats that sheaccomplishes. Mechanistically, a number of these powersare associated with the transfiguration (page 25) andterrain (page 25) keywords.Transfigurations require a certain focus in order towork. Many of the architect's powers use arrows as afocus to create elemental bolts of fire or ice. These arrowsare transformed completely into the element and cannot be retrieved from a corpse.They can also perform limited terrain alterations.Powers with the terrain keyword function similar tozones, but unlike zones, they are often indiscriminateand do not fade after a time. They are physical alterationsto the world itself and remain as such, unless another creature with similar capabilities exercises their ownstrength to force it back. As such they are often morelimited in scope then zones.
