Slayer's Guide to Elementals, The

Elementals are among the most primal forces in the mythology of many cultures, raw elements of life. This in turn has gifted them a firm place in many a campaign world. Some authorities believe all matter to be made from the four elements, with even humans and other sentient creatures being possessed of an elemental nature.

Fighting an elemental is like fighting a whirlwind, a ranging inferno, a mountain or the sea itself. You can try and, if you are powerful enough, possibly even succeed, but there is a certain implacable quality to the elements. All can seem unstoppable forces and the earth elemental might also be regarded as an immovable object. Anyone who battles with such powers must fear being overcome, unless they can employ similarly strong forces themselves.

The Slayer's Guide to Elementals compiles knowledge drawn from scholarly works alongside tactics and survival tips offered by adventurers who have fought with elementals and lived to tell the tale. Games Masters will learn many intricate details about elemental life and culture, enabling them to make truly memorable encounters with these creatures for their players, while players themselves may learn a thing or two that might just save the lives of their characters.
