ELEMENTALS

CR 1/2 & CR 2

Introduction: You find yourself in the middle of battle and think if only you had another
ally to help. Your arcane studies or your inborn ability suggests you to call an elemental
force to aid you and your party. At that point you realize the known incarnations made of
air, earth, fire, and water are too strong for your powers.

It is now time to call forth something within your scope of abilities. You can now conjure
a smaller elemental or a group of them to aid you in your defense.

A supplement of less powerful elementals for your spell casters or for a GM to use as
an encounter for upcoming adventures.
