Elemental Warrior

Every living thing is made up of the elements that exist in Imythess: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Light, Dark, Metal, and Arcana. Every being has these elements, but usually have one or two that are more prominant than the rest. The Elemental Warrior can harness their own natural element composition and use it in and out of battle. Naturally, though, they can only harness one element, and it has to be somewhat prominent in their composition.

Level Five:
Strike of the Elements- This is a powerful physical attacks that draws all the elements in the user's composition together, creating a weapon with all the elements engulfing it. When the weapon is used, a trail of the elements is left in it's wake, catchign those who may have avoided the original attack. After the attack is delivered, the raw elements leave the weapon, and engulf an opponent. From there, the elements become chaotic amongst each other, and cause a non-elemental explosion. This attack will leave the user weakened for at least half an hour. They also can't use any elemental attacks during this time.

(Dragoon, Sheild master, Hunter.. wouldn't this be the fourth time?)
This class is better than the last but still not very good. It's really too much of a magicy class which we don't need more of and it doesn't even offset the balance of two air PrCs. Strangley enough I did once again take inspiration from thinking about this class for a PrC I had been working on a while back, but I digress.

Elements: Anyone taking this class would not have the primary element of Metal as the class effects are very magicy. Raging Besrker, Charger, and the pending Resilient knight are good examples of Metal PrCs. Those with Arcana as their primary may take, but will likely be more apt to take magical Classes. The element should also only be one's primary elment which would certainly makes sense since it has the strongest hold. As such Metal should probably be removed to show metal is used in more of a secondary element due to the magicalish abilites that draw forth elemental power.

Skills: Brawl is not a weapon skill. Marksmanship is covered by the windbow.

Status Attack: These aren't good ideas. They aren't described well enough as to how each effect would be caused. Does the weapon cause burns because it is wreathed in flames or because it's very hot? Does this effect your weapon or your fists, and legs as well and if so does the efect have harmful effects on you (such as would normally come from eveloping your fist in fire)? Is it just for weapons that the warrior has skill in? How effective is the poison (Kill/KO in five minutes, stun for 30 sec, etc)? Additionaly all this first level abilites would fair better when mixed in with weapon enchantments.

Strikes: All of these are effectively spells. In truth their is only Flame weapon and holy weapon, but thanks to the rules that allow you to adjust items, you can easily adjust the element of a spell without making it any more powerful. Not to mention, weapon enchantments also cover this arae as well and in a better manner too. Also I'd very much Like you to explain how wind, water, and Earth deal extra elemental damages. Wind might chill, but the would of the element of Ice. Wind, water, and earth often deal damage through brute force similar to the 'metal' element. Tornados rip thing apart and toss them away with high speed wind, but that's not really elemental damage. Fire burning is elemental damage, Lighting shocking, ice chilling, acid corroding.

Spells/Spell-like abilities: All level three abilites should be sratched. If this is to be a fighter-specific class then all of it's magic should be pertaining to battle, and propbly throu focusing elemental energy through their weapon.

Barriers: All level four abilites should also be sctrached for reasons stated above. Also enveloping oneself in metal would kind of suffocate said person as well preventing him from moving, unlike the other barriers.

Strike of the Elements: This attack makes no sense to me. The entire class is based on one element save this one ability that randomly pops out of nowhere and says you can use all elements at once which does not follow the main focus that was given to the class.

In case if you decide to continue to working on this PrC, which I don't suggest, I suggest that you make the abilites very melee oreintated and try not to cross paths with weapon enchantments or other elemental classes.
