Slush elementals are cruel little beings that came into existence at the boundary of the planes of air and water. They have existed since the dawn of creation and have been a nuisance just as long. The touch of a slush elemental saps the heat from others and they delight in freezing sentient creatures alive. When slush elementals are intelligent enough to have lairs, they often decorate their lairs with the bodies of frozen victims.

Environment: Slush elementals are native to the boundary of the Elemental Plane of Air and the Elemental Plane of Water. Occasionally, a slush elemental is summoned to the material plane to serve an elder druid or they wander through vortexes in the elemental planes into a cold region of the material. They can become bond within an elemental gem by an artificer; slush elemental gems are ice blue.

Typical Characteristics: Slush elementals are roughly humanoid shape, but are composed completely of slush. Their eyes glow with an ice blue light on their formless faces. They range from 4 ft. to 40 ft. in height and between 40 lb. and 26,000 lb. depending on their size and advancement.

Air elementals speak Auran, though they rarely choose to do so.

COMBAT
Their rapid speed makes air elementals useful on vast battlefields or in extended aerial combat.

Air Mastery (Ex): Airborne creatures take a –1 penalty on attack and damage rolls against an air elemental.

Whirlwind (Su): The elemental can transform itself into a whirlwind once every 10 minutes and remain in that form for up to 1 round for every 2 HD it has. In this form, the elemental can move through the air or along a surface at its fly speed.

The whirlwind is 5 feet wide at the base, up to 30 feet wide at the top, and up to 50 feet tall, depending on the elemental’s size. The elemental controls the exact height, but it must be at least 10 feet.

The elemental’s movement while in whirlwind form does not provoke attacks of opportunity, even if the elemental enters the space another creature occupies. Another creature might be caught in the whirlwind if it touches or enters the whirlwind, or if the elemental moves into or through the creature’s space.

Creatures one or more size categories smaller than the elemental might take damage when caught in the whirlwind (see the table below for details) and may be lifted into the air. An affected creature must succeed on a Reflex save when it comes into contact with the whirlwind or take the indicated damage. It must also succeed on a second Reflex save or be picked up bodily and held suspended in the powerful winds, automatically taking the indicated damage each round. A creature that can fly is allowed a Reflex save each round to escape the whirlwind. The creature still takes damage but can leave if the save is successful. The DC for saves against the whirlwind’s effects varies with the elemental’s size (see the table). The save DC is Strength based.

Creatures trapped in the whirlwind cannot move except to go where the elemental carries them or to escape the whirlwind.

Creatures caught in the whirlwind can otherwise act normally, but must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) to cast a spell. Creatures caught in the whirlwind take a –4 penalty to Dexterity and a –2 penalty on attack rolls. The elemental can have only as many creatures trapped inside the whirlwind at one time as will fit inside the whirlwind’s volume.

The elemental can eject any carried creatures whenever it wishes, depositing them wherever the whirlwind happens to be. A summoned elemental always ejects trapped creatures before returning to its home plane.

If the whirlwind’s base touches the ground, it creates a swirling cloud of debris. This cloud is centered on the elemental and has a diameter equal to half the whirlwind’s height. The cloud obscures all vision, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. Creatures 5 feet away have concealment, while those farther away have total concealment.

Those caught in the cloud must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) to cast a spell.

An elemental in whirlwind form cannot make slam attacks and does not threaten the area around it.

Lightning quasi-elementals can be found in the quasi-plane of Lightning, the Elemental Plane of Air, and the Positive Material Plane. During great electrical storms on the Material plane, a few have been known to gather.

A lightning quasi-elemental appears as a small bluish globe of electrical energy. Lightning plays off of and around its body.


COMBAT
A lightning quasi-elemental attacks by arcing itself into an opponent (if the opponent is wearing metal armor) or by releasing small globes of electricity.

Electricity (Ex): A lightning quasi-elemental is composed completely of electricity; therefore any creature touched or touching it takes 1d6 points of electrical damage.

An opponent grasping or wearing conductive material (metal weapon, armor, and so on) that comes into contact with a lightning quasi-elemental takes 1d6 additional points of electrical damage.

Arc (Ex): The lightning quasi-elemental may move up to 120 feet and make an attack by arcing from its current location to any grounded metallic object (including creatures holding metal weapons or wearing metal armor). This is treated as a charge attack.

Globe (Ex): A lightning quasi-elemental can discharge one globe, once per round, for each Hit Die it possesses. This globe will hover near the elemental until an opponent comes within 5 feet, at which time, the globe moves to the opponent and discharges; 1d4 points of damage, Reflex save (DC 13) half.

Electricity Immunity (Ex): Lightning quasi-elementals are immune to all electrical effects

Water Vulnerability (Ex): A lightning quasi-elemental takes 1d8 points of damage per gallon of water it contacts.

Elemental: Immune to poison, sleep, paralysis, and stunning. Not subject to critical hits or flanking attacks. Lightning quasi-elementals have darkvision with a range of 60 feet.
