Elemontalist

Elemontalists are proud warriors of the citric arts, drawing powerful and refreshing might from the most powerful of scurvy deterrents.

Limelife (Su)

At 1st level, whenever the elemontalist casts a sphere effect that deals energy damage, the elemontalist can change the damage dealt by that sphere effect to acid. When used to change the damage dealt by a destructive blast, this effect changes that destructive blast’s blast type to the acid blast type group.

Note: For the purposes of this ability, energy damage is fire, cold, acid, electricity, and sonic.

Citric Focus (Su)

At 3rd level, the elemontalist adds 1/2 his elemontalist level to all damage dealt with destructive blasts from the acid blast type group. At 9th level, this bonus damage increases to become equal to his elemontalist level.

This alters favored element.

Hearty Rind (Ex)

At 4th level, an elemontalist’s skin becomes thicker, like a hearty citrus fruit. The elemontalist gains a +1 natural armor bonus which stacks with other sources of natural armor. This bonus increases by 1 every 4 levels thereafter. The elemontalist retains the benefits of this ability even while under the effects of a polymorph effect (or other effect that would suppress abilities reliant on the target’s natural form).

This ability replaces dodge bonus.

Elemontal Defense (Su)

At 5th level, an elemontalist gains resistance 10 to acid and a +2 bonus on saving throws against disease and poison effects. At 11th level, this resistance increases to 15, and the bonus on saving throws increases to +4. At 17th level, this resistance increases to 20, and the bonus on saving throws increases to +6.

This alters elemental defense.

Sugar, Lemon, and Water

The elemontalist is an innovator, always looking to create the next and greatest mixture. At 6th level, and every 4 levels thereafter, the elemontalist gains an alchemist discovery, using his elemontalist level in place of alchemist level for meeting prerequisites and casting ability modifier in place of Intelligence for determining their effects. His elemontalist level stacks with his alchemist level for the purpose of determining effective alchemist level for qualifying for discoveries.

Fruit Almighty

At 20th level, the elemontalist ascends to the zenith of citrus might. The elemontalist’s type changes to plant, and he acquires all plant traits. In addition, the elemontalist gains immunity to acid.

This ability replaces energy body.

Special

When choosing this archetype, a player may not want to be a mighty elemontalist, or lemons just are not in the setting. For example, players may want to be a cool blue raspberry dude, a spicy hot poblanomancer, or an electric currant master. When choosing this archetype, players can exchange the acid theme and abilities from this archetype for cold, fire, or electricity respectively (sonic is not an appropriate choice for this archetype). Doing so changes all abilities granted by this archetype to that energy type or appropriate blast type group (fire blast type, cold blast type, and electricity blast type respectively).
