Elementalist

An Elementalist is a Force User that can generate and control energies and forces of nature using The Force. They can change the temperature of things, create heat and even fire. They can condense the moisture in the air into ice. They can create electrical attacks and even magnetize metal objects.

Base Abilities

• Spark: As an Action, the Elementalist can spend 1 Motivation to create a small spark within Close range. This spark can potentially ignite any combustible gasses or objects in the area.
• Warm/Cool: As an Action, the Elementalist can spend 1 Motivation to increase or decrease the temperature in Close range by 5 Celsius degrees. Usually this only creates a narrative effect, but on planets with extreme weather using this ability a few times will be enough to prevent damage from exposure (reducing the difficulty to avoid taking Environmental Damage by 1 each time).

Ultimate Ability

• Force Tempest [Power/Attack]: As an Action, the Elementalist can spend 4 Motivation to cause a violent elemental storm within an area in Thrown (Close) range. This storm has a AOE(4) radius and does Force Rating + Powerful EL in heat, cold, bludgeoning, piercing, slashing and/or ionic damage to all targets within range.

Powers

• Burn: This Power allows the Elementalist to create and control Fire.
• Freeze: With this Power the Elementalist can create Ice or freeze a subject.
• Zap: The Zap Power allows the Elementalist to generate Electricity or absorb it.
• Magnetize: The Magnetize power allows the Elementalist to add a magnetic charge to a metal object, which they can then move using magnetism.

Motivators

The Elementalist uses the Motivators from the Light Side, Dark Side or Grey Side. It also has the following Motivators:

• Generator: Whenever an Elementalist uses The Force to substitute for a technological effect, they gain 1 Motivation.
• Zapper: Whenever an Elementalist uses The Force to cause elemental damage to another character, they gain 1 Motivation. They only gain 1 Motivation per attack per Combat.

Hit Points

The Elementalist’s gains 1 hit point per level.

Talent Tree(s)

• Distant EL (x2): When using an Elementalist Power, the default maximum Range band for all powers is increased. The default is Close range.
• Powerful EL (x2): When using an Elementalist Power, the number of heat or cold damage dice is Increased by +1. It also increases the amount of temperature difference by 5 more Celsius degrees per application.
• Precise EL (x2): When using an Elementalist Power, the electrical or magnetic damage dice are increased by +1. In addition the Elementalist can use an extra +1 die for manipulating the precision of an electrical or magnetic application of their power.
• Area EL (x2): When using an Elementalist Power, this increases the Radius for an AOE attack by 1. The default is AOE(2).
• Vicious EL(x2): The Elementalist can cause their base Elemental Powers to inflict increased damage for an attack. Each level of this taken allows the Elementalist to convert 1 Focus Result into a Critical Hit.
• Foot Freeze [Finesse / Defense]: (Freeze) As an Action, the Elementalist spends 2 Motivation and targets an area in Close Range. As long as there is moisture in the air, all targets in the area (AOE radius 2) are frozen to the ground and their Movement becomes zero, unless they can beat a Challenging(3) Agility check to avoid the attack. If they are frozen, the Elementalist rolls their Force Rating + ranks in Powerful El. For every Hit obtained, a frozen target must beat that with a Strength check to break free on their turn. This difficulty is reduced by 1 every Round (as the ice melts). A separate Precision roll can be used to leave specific targets out of the effect area. Precision EL increases the initial Agility check difficulty by 1 difficulty level per rank purchased.
• Magnetic Disarm [Quick / Defense]: (Magnetize) As an Action, the Elementalist spends 2 Motivation and targets an area within Close Range. All targets in the area (AOE radius 2) must beat a Challenging (3) Strength check or have their metallic weapons pulled from their hands. The difficulty for the check is increased by 1 for each level of Powerful EL. The weapons can be pulled 1 Range Band closer to the Elementalist if they have Precision EL. A separate Precision roll can also allow specific targets to be excluded from the effect.
• Force Lightning [Power / Attack]: (Zap) As an Action, the Elementalist spends at least 3 Motivation and makes an AOE: Arc 3 attack against a group in Close Range. All creatures in the area must beat a Challenging(3) Agility check or take dice of Electric/Ionic damage equal to the Elementalist's Force Rating + Powerful EL ranks. The Arc range is increased by 2 for each level of Area EL. Each level of Precision EL causes the attack to gain Spread +1 (as the lightning arcs to other, nearby creatures).
• Fireball [Power / Attack]: (Burn) As an Action, the Elementalist spends at least 3 Motivation and targets an area with a Fire attack (AOE radius 2) in Close Range. All creatures in the area must beat a Challenging(3) Agility check or take dice of Fire damage equal to the Elementalist's Force Rating + ranks of Powerful EL. The radius of the attack is increased by Area EL as usual. Each level of Precision EL causes the attack to gain Burning 1 (as the fireball ignites the clothes of the targets).
• Force Power: The Elementalist learns the final Force Power in this set.
• Extra Damage: The Elementalist's Force Powers do extra damage. The Elementalist does 2 additional dice of damage with their EL powers.

Burn

The Burn power represents Pyrokinesis, the ability to control fire with the mind. It also encompasses the ability to create heat.

The Elementalist can use this ability in multiple ways. They can generate heat to melt or burn items. They can also control fire kinetically, allowing them to hurl fire at enemies as a type of attack.

To generate heat, the Elementalist uses an Action and forms a dice pool with Force Rating + Burn power + ranks in Powerful EL. These dice are rolled and the number of Hits indicates how much heat was generated (with Critical Hits counting as two hits).

Burn Temperature Table

Number of Hits	Temperature Delta	Effects
1	+5	Melt Ice
2	+10	Create Steam
3	+20	Melt Plastoid
4	+40	Melt Durasteel
5	+80	Melt Phrik, Melt Cortosis
6	+160	Melt Beskar

To perform a ranged attack, the Elementalist uses an Action and creates a dice pool based on their Force Rating + Burn power. The default maximum range is Close range, which is increased with ranks in Distant EL. The Extra Damage and Vicious EL can both apply to make these fire attacks more deadly.

Powerful EL can be used to add additional damage dice if the Elementalist doesn't care about accidentally hitting those around the target. The Gamemaster can choose to have attacks that use Powerful EL to add Spread(N) where N is the number of Powerful EL used.

Precise EL is used when the Elementalist wants to avoid hitting some members with an AOE attack. Each rank of Precise EL allows the Elementalist to exclude 1 person from the area effect. Precise EL can also be used for Aimed Attacks to gain an extra success.

Freeze

The Freeze power represents Cryokinesis, the ability to decrease the temperature using the mind. This includes creating ice by condensing the moisture in the air. This can cause direct damage, but also potentially freeze injuries to prevent them from worsening.

An Elementalist can telekinetically control the ice that they generate or that is in the area, allowing them to fling deadly icicles at targets as an attack.

To freeze a target, the Elementalist uses an Action and creates a dice pool with their Force Rating + Freeze power + ranks in Powerful EL. These dice are rolled and the number of Hits indicates how much an item was frozen (with Critical Hits).

Freeze Temperature Table

Number of Hits	Temperature Delta (Celsius)	Effects
1	-5	Condense Steam
2	-10	Freeze Water
3	-20	Frostbite
4	-40	Hypothermia
5	-80	Cryosleep
6	-160	Absolute Zero

To perform a ranged attack, the Elementalist uses an Action and creates a dice pool based on their Force Rating + Freeze power + ranks in Precise EL. The default maximum range is Close range, which is increased with ranks in Distant EL. The Extra Damage and Vicious EL can both apply to make these ice attacks more deadly.

Zap

The Zap power represents Electrokinesis, the ability to control electricity with the mind. This can be used to reroute power in conjunction with an Engineer skill, Mechanics. Of course the ability to telekinetically control electricity can also be used martially.

To generate power for a device, the Elementalist uses an Action and then creates a dice pool with their Force Rating + Zap power + ranks of Powerful EL. Each Hit increases the amount of electrical power generated for the device by 1. Critical Hits count as two Hits. The more Hits, the larger the device that can be powered. By default the Elementalist can keep up this power for 1 minute. They can spend 1 Motivation to extend the duration by another minute.

Electrical Power Generation Table

Number of Hits	Typical Device Powered
1	Glowstick, Datapad
2	Hand Scanner
3	Droid
4	Repulsor
5	Speeder
6	Fighter*
7	Light Freighter*

*This would be enough power to maintain basic ship's systems and travel very slowly, this does not include enough power to fight, nor hyperspace travel. Think of it as "emergency power", enough to maintain life support and drift through space to the nearest world.

The Zap power can also be used to make a ranged attack. This requires an Action and uses the Elementalist's Force Rating + Zap power + levels in Precise EL. The default maximum range is Close range, which is increased with ranks in Distant EL. The Extra Damage and Vicious EL can both apply to make these electric powerful.

This damage can be Ionic, which does Stress to Droids and 2x damage to personal shields, or it can do Stress to organic beings.

Magnetize

The other aspect of the Zap power is the Magnetize power. Magnetize allows the Elementalist to control metal telekinetically, as well as magnetize and demagnetize ferrous metal objects. The primary way to use this power is to magnetize objects strategically, so that opponents have difficulty using metallic weapons, or in the case of metal armor, moving at all.

To magnetize an object the Elementalist uses an Action and creates a dice pool with Force Rating + the Magnetize power + ranks in Powerful EL. The dice are rolled and each Hit increases the difficulty for the opponent to resist using their own Strength check. The object stays magnetized for 1d8 hours.

Magnetized metal armor (primitive Iron armor, Durasteel, Phrik, Cortosis or Beskar all are magnetizable) will pull with the same strength, potentially pulling smaller objects to the armor or holding the wearer in place against a larger metal object (such as a starship hull).

The Elementalist can also magnetize weapons, preventing the user from being able to wield them unless they beat a similar Strength check.

For the ability to pull weapons out of an opponent's hands, see the Magnetic Disarm talent.

Finally the Elementalist can use an Action and attack with magnetized objects. They create a dice pool with their Force Rating + Magnetize Power + any ranks of Precise EL. Finally the Elementalist can use the damage bonus from weapons that are specifically designed for throwing (such as axes, knives and grenades), or if it is another type of weapon or object, adding 1 die for the damage bonus. The Elementalist rolls this magnetized object dice pool as normal against the target's Defense Dice, and any leftover Hits cause damage. The Vicious EL talent will allow the Elementalist to convert 1 Focus result to a Critical Hit per rank. Critical Hits act as they normally do in combat.
