Calling upon the elemental forces that run through the world, the shaman is the undisputed master of the elements. Her relationship with Nature - and by extension, Gaia - is not one of worship, but of acknowledgment, a symbiosis between the spirit of the universe and one of those she considers her children who dwells within that existence. While Gaia herself is a passive, reactive entity, she bestows her gifts upon those who meditate upon the nature of the world and who would seek to maintain the natural balance: shamans, then, are effectively her agents in the world.

Shamans - and other benders - do not call upon the stuff of which the world is made. Even those who manipulate elements found readily in nature - air, earth, water - are not using the physical manifestations of those elements, but are instead manipulating the thread of the elements that is interwoven into reality itself. An earth shaman, for instance, does not manipulate actual rock and stone, but instead the thread of energy woven into the world that ''represents'' earth - thus, the results of her bending are not permanent creations, but instead temporary modifications of energy flows.
  
 
For the shaman, balance is paramount. While she can freely choose to work with only one element, her ability to interact with the energy flows at the heart of existence are heightened if she chooses to work with an opposing pair of elements, naturally counterbalancing each other both in terms of the shaman's ability to manipulate the elemental energy as well as complementing gifts granted within those energies, making shamans often well-rounded. Shamans must take care in using their powers, for calling too much upon a given element will cause Gaia to seal it against her: while this may seem unfair, for Gaia, nothing is more important than maintaining balance - even her agents must abide by the truths of Nature, even if it means putting them in grave danger.

All of the following are class features of the shaman.
 
All of the following are class features of the shaman.
  
−
'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Shamans are proficient with all simple weapons and light armor, but not shields.

 +
|}
 +
'''Weapons:''' Any three.
  
−
'''Geomancy (Na):''' The powers a shaman wields are collectively known as geomancy, though it is not Magic by any stretch of the imagination. Rather, a shaman who uses geomancy calls upon the elemental cycle inherent in the world, allowing her to produce effects by calling upon the raw elements from which existence is woven.
+
'''Armor:''' Cloth, leather.
  
−
'''Elements (Ge):''' The shaman understands the world in terms of elements, the fundamental building blocks of existence. The elements are cyclical, and there is a natural progression, beginning with gravity in the center, and ending with cosmos on the outmost edge. Certain terrains are focal points for raw elemental power, but unlike the druid - who utilizes all aspects of a given terrain - the shaman focuses on the flow of elemental energy through a place. Whereas the druid looks at a forest and understands the nature of that part of the world, the shaman looks "behind" the forest and into the flow of elemental energy, seeing the forest as a nexus of the element of Wind.
+
'''Implements:''' [[D20_Mechanic:_Implements#Essences|Essences]], [[D20_Mechanic:_Implements#Totems|totems]].
  
−
A shaman need not ever have experienced a terrain that is a focal point for a given element for purposes of geomancy; her contemplation and commune with Nature allow her to arrive at the understanding of an element without ever having experienced it.

Shamans are benders, which means that they make use of ''gifts'', raw energy channeled from the elemental tapestry that binds all of existence together. As benders, shamans ''tap'' into this tapestry of elements to acquire ''flux'', which they can turn into gifts. However, nature demands balance, and as shamans gather flux, they also accrue ''stress'', inhibiting their ability to draw more flux over time.

Whenever you gain access to a new element, you may instead choose to forgo gaining such access in favor of strengthening your connection to an element which you can already access. If you do so, choose an element you can access, and increase your max stress towards that element by amount equal to the number of elements you would have access to this level.
+
As a move action, the shaman can ''tap'' one of her elemental suites. When she does so, she rolls her ''flux die'', and acquires that much ''flux'', while also accruing the same amount of ''stress''. If you have more ''stress'' than your ''stress limit'' against an element, you cannot ''tap'' it (but see below); likewise, you cannot have more ''flux'' for an element than your ''stress limit''. Even if you have multiple actions, you can only ''tap'' a given element once on each of your turns.
  
−
: '''''Example:''' Toph is gaining her fifth level of shaman, and would gain access to her fourth element. Toph, however, is very focused on the Earth element, and so would prefer to improve that element. Instead of gaining a fourth element, she instead improves the max stress of her Earth suite by +4.''
+
When you ''tap'' an element, if the amount of ''stress'' you acquire would put you over your ''stress limit'' for that element, you instead only gain enough ''flux'' and ''stress'' to put you at your ''stress limit''.
  
−
'''Gifts (Ge):''' Each specific application of elemental power in from a given element set is called a Gift. A shaman who has attained complete understanding of a given element automatically learns a basic Gift tied to that terrain, but she can spend additional time to gain a further understanding of how the element and the force of Nature interact, giving her access to additional Gifts tied to that element.

Using a Gift always causes the shaman to accrue Stress, regardless of whether or not the Gift matches the shaman's current location's elemental association. The exception to this are Basic Gifts, which can be used only in terrain of their particular element; Basic Gifts never cause stress, and can be used freely (unless the shaman's Stress towards that Gift's element is over her max stress).
+
If you ''tap'' an element and have access to the suite of it's opposed element, you reduce your ''stress'' for the opposed element by the amount of ''flux'' you gain for the element you are ''tapping''.
  
−
The saving throw DC for Gifts is equal to 10 + stress induced + your Wisdom modifier. For purposes of saving throw DCs, Basic Gifts are considered to induce Stress equal to one-half your geomancer level, rounded down.
+
You can never have more ''flux'' than your current ''stress'' for a given element. If you do, your ''flux'' is immediately reduced to equal your ''stress''.
  
−
You gain additional gifts known based upon your Wisdom score. Each time you would gain access to a new element, you gain knowledge of one additional gifts for each element you had access to prior to that level, dependent on your Wisdom score. Refer to [http://www.d20srd.org/srd/theBasics.htm#abilitiesAndSpellcasters this table], using the order in which you gained access to elements as their effective spell level. The first two suites you can access at first level both count as 1st-level for purposes of this table.
+
If you are in an environment associated with an element you ''tap'', you gain double the amount of ''flux''. If you are in an environment associated with the element's opposed element, you instead halve the amount of ''flux'' you gain.
  
−
: '''''Example:''' Mochos has gained his second level of shaman, having chosen Ice and Lightning as his first suites. He chooses Cosmic as his third. With his Wisdom score of 20, Mochos looks on the table to determine his total bonus gifts, and sees that he gains two bonus gifts known for each of his Ice and Lighting (which he treats as 1st-level, in regards to the table). He gains one bonus gift known for each suite at this level. When he gains his fifth level of shaman, and access to a fourth suite, he will gain his second bonus gift known for Ice and Lightning, and a bonus gift known for Cosmic (and his only, because he treats Cosmic as 2nd-level, and thus only gains one bonus gift for his Wisdom score). In essence, according to the table, he gains two bonus gifts for his initial suites, one bonus gift known for his third, fourth, fifth, and sixth suites (which he treats as 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th level, respectively), and no bonus known gifts for suites beyond them.''
+
''Flux'' is a powerful but relatively short-lived energy, and dissipates naturally over time. You lose all ''flux'' of an element after 5 minutes.
  
−
For purposes of bonus gifts gained, do not count any bonuses to your Wisdom score beyond inherent bonuses or similar such increases.
+
You can meditate to alleviate the stress you have accrued against the elements. Doing so requires 1 round of concentration, at the end of which you reduce your ''stress'' against all elements by half your level bonus, rounded down (min 1). You can automatically remove all accrued ''stress'' with a ''short rest''.
  
−
Each time you would gain knowledge of a new gift, you can instead choose to improve your familiarity with a gift you already know, decreasing the stress it causes you to accrue. If you do so, you can reduce the stress accrued by any gift you know by 1. You cannot reduce a gift's stress to less than half of its original cost. Changing the cost of a gift in this manner does not affect the base saving throw DC for the gift.
+
To use a gift, called ''bending'', you must spend an amount of ''flux'' - dependent upon the gift's grade - of the element associated with that gift. If you have access to a suite and are in a terrain associated with that element, you can use that suite's ''basic gift'' at will, which costs no ''flux''.
  
−
: '''''Example:''' Toph focuses solely on Earth, and has no access to any other element. Upon gaining twelfth level, she has learned all possible Earth gifts. Rather than attempt to branch out, she instead uses the two gifts she would have gained at 12th to instead reduce the stress of two of her Earth gifts by 1, though they retain their original base saving throw DCs.''
+
The shaman begins with four known gifts. She gains knowledge of additional gifts each level, as per the class table, above. At fourth level and every four levels after, she can trade out up to two gifts for new gifts from any suite she can access, of any grade she can access.
  
−
'''Stress (Ge):''' Stress represents Nature's insistence on the natural order of things. By manipulating Nature itself to utilize her gifts, a shaman accrues Stress. It doesn't matter where a shaman uses a gift, it always causes her to accrue Stress, even if the terrain she is in matches the element of the gift she is using.
+
If you would gain access to a suite, you can choose to instead gain a bonus feat, which must be a feat for which you qualify. If you would gain access to a suite and already have access to six suites, you gain a bonus feat instead.
  
−
A shaman who uses Gifts accrues Stress towards that element. Each Gift indicates in its description how much Stress it causes when used.
+
The shaman gains a bonus to her ''stress limit'' for each of her ''suites'' equal to her Charisma modifier.
  
−
Some Gifts have a "+" denoted by their Stress cost. In such cases, you can accrue additional stress towards that gift's suite to improve the gift in some fashion; consult the gift's description to see what the effect is. In addition, you can choose to accrue more stress than necessary when using a gift - each additional stress accrued that is not used to improve the gift (if it can be improved) increases the saving throw DC for the gift by +1. You cannot spend more Stress on a gift than your geomancer level.
+
The shaman's ''key ability'' for her ''natural attacks'' is her Wisdom.
  
−
If a shaman accrues more Stress towards a given element than her Max Stress, she is immediately cut off from that element's Gifts, and any effects caused by Gifts of that element that are in effect immediately cease. If you attempt to use a Gift that would put you over your maximum Stress for that Gift's element, the effect occurs (though if it has a duration longer than instantaneous, it instantly ends), and you suffer 1d6+1 damage for each point of Stress over your Maximum Stress incurred; this damage is non-elemental, and cannot be resisted, reduced, or avoided in any fashion.
+
<div id="Balance">
 +
{| class="collapsible" width="98%" style="text-align:left; clear:both; font-size:75%; font-family:verdana;"
 +
! style="background:#228B22;" align="left"|<div style="margin-left:15px;"><font color="white" style="font-size:13.5px; font-family:tahoma;">Balance</font></div>
 +
|}
 +
Above all else, shamans revere the balance inherent in Nature. Though she may only have knowledge of some elements, she gains an intuitive understanding of their opposites.
  
−
A shaman relieves 1 point of Stress towards all elements when she gets a night's rest. In addition, while in a given terrain, her Stress towards the element associated with that terrain is reduced by her Wisdom modifier every hour.
+
You are considered to have access to elements that are opposed to elements you have access to for purposes of ''flux''.
  
−
As a full-round action, a shaman can make a geomancer level check against DC 10 to attempt to relieve additional Stress. If she is successful, she reduces her Stress towards the element associated with the current terrain by the amount by which she overcame the DC. Each time you use this ability, the DC for the geomancer level check to use it has its DC increased by 5 (thus the first time in a day is 10, the second is 15, the third is 20, and so on). A shaman cannot take 20 on this check, regardless of circumstances, though he can take 10 if able to take 10 on geomancer level checks.
+
You can ''tap'' elements opposed to elements you have access to.
  
−
'''Attune Totem:''' A shaman is well-versed in the elemental cycle, and while she respects it, she also understands that there are times when it must be broken.
+
<div id="Affinity">
 +
{| class="collapsible" width="98%" style="text-align:left; clear:both; font-size:75%; font-family:verdana;"
 +
! style="background:#228B22;" align="left"|<div style="margin-left:15px;"><font color="white" style="font-size:13.5px; font-family:tahoma;">Affinity</font></div>
 +
|}
 +
As the shaman grows in power, she becomes more strongly attuned to the flows of energy in the world, and they respond in kind, empowering the shaman continuously in various ways.
  
−
A shaman can spend 24 hours attuning herself to an item, which must be spent in a terrain associated the element she wants the totem to be attuned to. After the meditation, the totem is attuned. A shaman can only have one totem attuned at a time.
+
At 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th levels, choose one of the following abilities.
  
−
As a standard action, the shaman can plant the totem in the ground. Doing so generates an elemental field around the totem, with a 10-foot radius. The elemental field is treated as terrain associated with the totem's element. A move action removes the totem and eliminates the elemental field.
+
<div id="Earth's Root">
 +
{| class="collapsible" width="98%" style="text-align:left; clear:both; font-size:75%; font-family:verdana;"
 +
! style="background:#ACD4AC;" align="left"|<div style="margin-left:50px;"><font color="black" style="font-size:13.5px; font-family:tahoma;">▶ Earth's Root</font></div>
 +
|}
 +
While in Earth terrain, when subject to forced movement, you can reduce the forced movement by a number of squares equal to your Strength modifier; this is treated as a feat bonus.
  
−
Using a totem, however, is highly disruptive to the elemental cycle. Each round the totem is in use, the shaman accrues 1 point of Stress towards the element associated with the terrain the totem is planted in. If this causes the shaman to exceed her Max Stress towards that element, she suffers 1d6+1/level damage of the energy type associated with the terrain Stress is being accrued towards for every point of Stress over her Max Stress.
+
<div id="Flame's Destruction">
 +
{| class="collapsible" width="98%" style="text-align:left; clear:both; font-size:75%; font-family:verdana;"
 +
! style="background:#ACD4AC;" align="left"|<div style="margin-left:50px;"><font color="black" style="font-size:13.5px; font-family:tahoma;">▶ Flame's Destruction</font></div>
 +
|}
 +
While in Fire terrain, you gain a +1 feat bonus to all damage potency, and you take ''damage 1 potency'' additional damage whenever you take damage.
  
−
If a totem is used in a terrain whose associated element opposes the element of the totem, the shaman instead accrues 2 points of Stress each round, and suffers 2d6+2/level damage for each point of Stress over her Max Stress.
+
<div id="Gravity's Pull">
 +
{| class="collapsible" width="98%" style="text-align:left; clear:both; font-size:75%; font-family:verdana;"
 +
! style="background:#ACD4AC;" align="left"|<div style="margin-left:50px;"><font color="black" style="font-size:13.5px; font-family:tahoma;">▶ Gravity's Pull</font></div>
 +
|}
 +
While in Gravity terrain, all creatures within 20 feet of you lose and cannot gain ''float'', and all squares within that area are treated as ''difficult terrain''.
  
−
A shaman cannot plant a totem if her current Stress equals or exceeds her Max Stress for the totem's element.
+
<div id="Ice's Clarity">
 +
{| class="collapsible" width="98%" style="text-align:left; clear:both; font-size:75%; font-family:verdana;"
 +
! style="background:#ACD4AC;" align="left"|<div style="margin-left:50px;"><font color="black" style="font-size:13.5px; font-family:tahoma;">▶ Ice's Clarity</font></div>
 +
|}
 +
While in Ice terrain, you can ''take 10'' on all d20 rolls.
  
−
'''Elemental Affinity:''' A shaman's attunement to the elements gives them benefits while in terrain related to that element; however, this ability requires that the shaman have experience with that element (meaning that you have must access to gifts of that element's suite).  
+
<div id="Life's Beauty">
 +
{| class="collapsible" width="98%" style="text-align:left; clear:both; font-size:75%; font-family:verdana;"

 +
|}
 +
While in Holy terrain, at the start of each of your turns, if you are not ''dying'', you can spend a ''healing surge'' as a non-action.
  
−
While in a terrain with an elemental affinity, she gains the following relevant ability; if multiple elements are present, you gain all relevant abilities. These effects stack with each other (for example, if in Water and Ice terrain when a creature attempts to ''charm'' you, you gain double your Wisdom bonus as a bonus to the save made against that effect, provided you have access to the Water and Ice suites; while in Fire and Shadow terrain, all ongoing damage you inflict is increased by double your Wisdom modifier, provided you have access to the Fire and Shadow suites; and so on).
+
<div id="Lightning's Flash">

 +
|}
 +
While in Lightning terrain, you can ''shift'' an additional time on your turn.
  
−
* ''Gravity's Pull (Na):'' While in Gravity terrain, a radius of squares around you equal to your Wisdom modifier are treated as difficult terrain.
+
<div id="Shadow's Decay">
−

If the creature has been dead for less than 10 minutes, you revive them, bringing them to 1d6 hit points.

This effect cannot occur more than once every hour. (''Prerequisites:'' At least 8 Fire Gifts known)
+
−
* ''Infinite Cosmic Power (Na):'' Whenever you use a Cosmos gift, also roll a d%. If the result is less than or equal to your Wisdom score, you take another turn after this one. This effect cannot occur more than once a round. (''Prerequisites:'' At least 8 Cosmic Gifts known)

If none of these effects apply, then this ability has no effect. (''Prerequisites:'' At least 8 Lightning Gifts known)
+
−
* ''Like A Rock (Na):'' Whenever you use an Earth gift, also roll a d%. If the result is less than or equal to your Wisdom score, you gain a natural armor bonus to AC equal and a bonus to opposed rolls and saving throws against effects that would cause you to move, compulsion, and charm effects; all these bonuses are equal to your Wisdom modifier. These effects last for a number of rounds equal to the Stress induced by the Gift used. (''Prerequisites:'' At least 8 Earth Gifts known)
+
−
* ''Pressure Unyielding (Na):'' Whenever you use a Gravity gift, also roll a d%. If the result is less than or equal to your Wisdom score, the target loses a percentage of its current hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier. You may opt to not use this effect. (''Prerequisites:'' At least 8 Gravity Gifts known)
+
−
* ''Unholy Blight (Na):'' Whenever you use a Shadow gift, also roll a d%.

|'''Benefit:''' When you use a gift that deals energy damage, you can instead make it deal half of its damage as that energy type, and the other half as the energy type associated with a different element that you have access to, provided that element is not opposed to the gift's element (thus, you cannot make a Gravity gift deal half magnetic damage and half cosmic damage). Doing this causes you to accrue half the gift's Stress towards the element associated with the second energy type, rounded down.
+
|'''Benefit:''' Choose one suite you can access. You gain a +2 feat bonus to your ''stress limit'' for that suite. You can take this feat multiple times; each time you do, you can choose a suite you have already chosen (the bonus this feat grants stacks with itself), or a new suite.

Basically, now, the shaman and the druid are both tied to terrain, but in different ways: the druid uses the actual terrain itself, whereas the shaman uses the energy type behind the terrain. The shaman is a more esoteric version of the druid, in a sense.

Shaman

Toph, iconic shaman
"In the storm that is the elements, I am the calm in the center."

Calling upon the elemental forces that run through the world, the shaman is the undisputed master of the elements. Her relationship with Nature - and by extension, Gaia - is not one of worship, but of acknowledgment, a symbiosis between the spirit of the universe and one of those she considers her children who dwells within that existence. While Gaia herself is a passive, reactive entity, she bestows her gifts upon those who meditate upon the nature of the world and who would seek to maintain the natural balance: shamans, then, are effectively her agents in the world.

Shamans - and other benders - do not call upon the stuff of which the world is made. Even those who manipulate elements found readily in nature - air, earth, water - are not using the physical manifestations of those elements, but are instead manipulating the thread of the elements that is interwoven into reality itself. An earth shaman, for instance, does not manipulate actual rock and stone, but instead the thread of energy woven into the world that represents earth - thus, the results of her bending are not permanent creations, but instead temporary modifications of energy flows.

For the shaman, balance is paramount. While she can freely choose to work with only one element, her ability to interact with the energy flows at the heart of existence are heightened if she chooses to work with an opposing pair of elements, naturally counterbalancing each other both in terms of the shaman's ability to manipulate the elemental energy as well as complementing gifts granted within those energies, making shamans often well-rounded. Shamans must take care in using their powers, for calling too much upon a given element will cause Gaia to seal it against her: while this may seem unfair, for Gaia, nothing is more important than maintaining balance - even her agents must abide by the truths of Nature, even if it means putting them in grave danger.

Game Rule Information

Shamans have the following game statistics.

Force Alignment: Nature.

Force Resistances: DI 5 + level, VI 5 + level.

Abilities: Wisdom is the shaman's most important ability, as it modifies and improves her ability to manipulate the elements.

Hit Points at 1st Level: 5 + Con score.

Hit Points at Each Additional Level: 5 + Con modifier.

Healing Surges: 6 + Con modifier.

Defenses: Fort +0; Ref +2; Will +4; Det +2.

Skills: Shamans are trained in Nature (Int), plus any four skills from the shaman class skill list, below.

  • Diplomacy (Cha)
  • Endurance (Con)
  • Medicine (Wis)
  • Navigation (Int)
  • Nihilism (Int)
  • Notice (Per)
  • Religion (Int)

Starting Age: Simple.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the shaman.

Proficiencies

Weapons: Any three.

Armor: Cloth, leather.

Implements: Essences, totems.

Bending

Shamans are benders, which means that they make use of gifts, raw energy channeled from the elemental tapestry that binds all of existence together. As benders, shamans tap into this tapestry of elements to acquire flux, which they can turn into gifts. However, nature demands balance, and as shamans gather flux, they also accrue stress, inhibiting their ability to draw more flux over time.

 

The Elements
Element Secondary Ability Description Terrains Weather Opposes...
Gravity Con attraction, unification, crushing pressure Cities, Factories, Dungeons, Interiors Calm, Normal Weather, Eerie Stillness Cosmos
Shadow Per death, decay, entropy, dissolution Swamps, Graveyards, Sewers Nighttime, Heavy Clouds, New Moon Holy

Holy Brv life, growth, health Fields, Hills, Churches Bright Sun, Daytime, Full Moon Shadow
Cosmos Dex space, time, infinite expanse Dimensional Rifts, Outer Space, Vacuums Aurora, Haunting Gravity

 

As a move action, the shaman can tap one of her elemental suites. When she does so, she rolls her flux die, and acquires that much flux, while also accruing the same amount of stress. If you have more stress than your stress limit against an element, you cannot tap it (but see below); likewise, you cannot have more flux for an element than your stress limit. Even if you have multiple actions, you can only tap a given element once on each of your turns.

When you tap an element, if the amount of stress you acquire would put you over your stress limit for that element, you instead only gain enough flux and stress to put you at your stress limit.

Gift Grades
Grade Minimum Wisdom Minimum Secondary Ability Flux Cost
Small 11 9 1
Modest 13 10 2
Fair 15 11 4
Generous 17 12 8
Grand 19 14 16
Ancient 21 16 32

If you tap an element and have access to the suite of it's opposed element, you reduce your stress for the opposed element by the amount of flux you gain for the element you are tapping.

You can never have more flux than your current stress for a given element. If you do, your flux is immediately reduced to equal your stress.

If you are in an environment associated with an element you tap, you gain double the amount of flux. If you are in an environment associated with the element's opposed element, you instead halve the amount of flux you gain.

Flux is a powerful but relatively short-lived energy, and dissipates naturally over time. You lose all flux of an element after 5 minutes.

You can meditate to alleviate the stress you have accrued against the elements. Doing so requires 1 round of concentration, at the end of which you reduce your stress against all elements by half your level bonus, rounded down (min 1). You can automatically remove all accrued stress with a short rest.

To use a gift, called bending, you must spend an amount of flux - dependent upon the gift's grade - of the element associated with that gift. If you have access to a suite and are in a terrain associated with that element, you can use that suite's basic gift at will, which costs no flux.

The shaman begins with four known gifts. She gains knowledge of additional gifts each level, as per the class table, above. At fourth level and every four levels after, she can trade out up to two gifts for new gifts from any suite she can access, of any grade she can access.

If you would gain access to a suite, you can choose to instead gain a bonus feat, which must be a feat for which you qualify. If you would gain access to a suite and already have access to six suites, you gain a bonus feat instead.

The shaman gains a bonus to her stress limit for each of her suites equal to her Charisma modifier.

The shaman's key ability for her natural attacks is her Wisdom.

Balance

Above all else, shamans revere the balance inherent in Nature. Though she may only have knowledge of some elements, she gains an intuitive understanding of their opposites.

You are considered to have access to elements that are opposed to elements you have access to for purposes of flux.

You can tap elements opposed to elements you have access to.

Affinity

As the shaman grows in power, she becomes more strongly attuned to the flows of energy in the world, and they respond in kind, empowering the shaman continuously in various ways.

At 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th levels, choose one of the following abilities.

▶ Earth's Root

While in Earth terrain, when subject to forced movement, you can reduce the forced movement by a number of squares equal to your Strength modifier; this is treated as a feat bonus.

▶ Flame's Destruction

While in Fire terrain, you gain a +1 feat bonus to all damage potency, and you take damage 1 potency additional damage whenever you take damage.

▶ Gravity's Pull

While in Gravity terrain, all creatures within 20 feet of you lose and cannot gain float, and all squares within that area are treated as difficult terrain.

▶ Ice's Clarity

While in Ice terrain, you can take 10 on all d20 rolls.

▶ Life's Beauty

While in Holy terrain, at the start of each of your turns, if you are not dying, you can spend a healing surge as a non-action.

▶ Lightning's Flash

While in Lightning terrain, you can shift an additional time on your turn.

▶ Shadow's Decay

While in Shadow terrain, you gain a +2 feat bonus to all damage potency of ongoing damage effects you produce.

▶ Time's Course

While in Cosmic terrain, you gain innate compress equal to one-half your level bonus, rounded down.

▶ Water's Purity

While in Water terrain, you gain a feat bonus on saving throws equal to one-half your level bonus, rounded down.

▶ Wind's Freedom

While in Wind terrain, you ignore difficult terrain.
