(( WIP: this class is meant as a prestige class for Dae'run, and when not finalized and approved may be subject to frequent change and/or brokeness. ))
Fluff
Provide reason for the class, something with improving ties with the elements and gleaning powers from them through the use of wildshape.
Elementalists favor interactions with the elements and their different manifestations throughout the planes. They are druids who have spent “too much time” in the Elemental form. It is not uncommon for an Elementalist to spend days or even weeks in an elemental form, or to shift from form to form regularly, without returning to whatever humanoid form he started with.
Requirements
Skills: Knowledge (nature) 4 ranks, Survival 6 ranks
Special:
- Wild shape class feature, allowing you to shift into an Elemental shape.
- Must speak at least one of the following languages: Auran, Terran, Ignan, or Aquan
- Must have come in contact with a raw expression of an element (visiting and elemental plane, an ecounter with a primal elemental, etc.)
Class Skills
The Elementalist's class skills are: Climb (Str), Handle Animal (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (the planes) (Int), Knowledge (geography) (Int), Knowledge (nature) (Int), Perception (Wis), Ride (Dex), Sense Motive (Wis), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).
Skill Ranks at Each Level: 4 + Int modifier.
Hit Die: d8.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Elementalists gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor.
Shifter's Speech (Ex)
While shifted into an elemental form, the elementalist maintains her ability to speak normally (including verbal components of spells) regardless of the form taken.
Furthermore, he can communicate with other creatures of the same kind while in wild shape, as long as such creatures are normally capable of communicating with each other using natural methods.
Elemental Shape (Su)
The Elementalists' class levels stack with other class levels that grant Wild shape for the purpose of determining access to Elemental forms, as well as the total number of uses of Wild shape per day.
Elemental union
You gain the Elemental Subtype regardless of the form you are in. probably a 10th level power, given the power of the subtype
