Earth Elementalists are a unique breed. They can pull rock from the ground and use it to protect them and destroy their enemies, though as mentioned above there are some better than others. It’s good to mention bullets and arrows and whatnot are almost completely useless against Endurance chosen, since rock armor lol’s at them, and can constantly replenish itself as long as there is rock readily available.
The Paragons Blessings
Strength- As stated previously, Strength is kinda what it says on the tin. Brute force, sheer might, and cool weapons that are made from sparkly crystals pulled from the earth beneath the Elementalist’s feet. These semi-permanent weapons actually gain different effects based on where they are when they craft them.
Stone- The pseudo-caster of the Earth pantheon, Stone blessed elementalists can manipulate the ground and form it into fists to crush their foes, walls to block enemies/protect allies, shards of rock to project at people, and weaker versions of the weapons mentioned in the Strength section. Stone sacrifices their ability to wield martial weaponry for the ability to suck people into the earth, or crush them with it. They’re also less bull-headed, being the second best non-combat Blessing in the Earth pantheon.
Endurance- The tankiest bastards in existence, those blessed by Endurance will probably never run out of energy. While they retain, like their brothers, the ability to utilize the earth plane as a form of transportation, they lack the sheer martial capabilities of Strength (read: being able to just HULK SMASH everyone to death) and lack almost all of the ability to manipulate the earth into a weapon or defense like Stone, but can encase themselves in rock to become really really hard to kill.
Life- Ah, the healers. The only elementalists able to seal OTHER people’s wounds. They can’t fight, can’t survive a losing battle, and can’t heal in combat, but they’re the ones that ensure you don’t die once the fight’s over. Bleeding, broken bones, concussions, shock, and blood boiling are just a few of the status effects and injuries that will dwell with others.
Earth Plane: The earth plane is just a big desert without the heat (or plants).
