You have forged a pact with an impossibly ancient, primordial entity. You might serve a specific Archomental, one of the Elemental Princes. Or you may be an unwitting pawn of the Elder Elemental Eye, a chained, cosmic horror that uses the elemental planes as a shattered lens to interact with the mortal world. Either way, primal power is yours to command... at a cost.
When you choose this subclass, you must select one Elemental Facet to attune to: Air, Earth, Fire, or Water. This choice permanently alters your warlock spell list and grants you physical adaptations as your body begins to transmogrify. Additionally, you learn the dialect of Primordial native to your selected Elemental Plane, such as Ignan for Fire or Auran for Air.
Air. You gain proficiency with all Martial weapons that possess the Finesse property. Additionally, on your turn, you may Dash as a Bonus Action.
Earth. You gain proficiency with Medium armor, and Martial weapons with the Heavy property. You gain Tremorsense with a range of 30 feet.
Fire. You gain proficiency with two Martial weapons of your choice. You can add your Charisma modifier to your Initiative rolls.
Water. While you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield, your base Armor Class equals 10 plus your Constitution and Charisma modifiers. Additionally, you can breathe underwater and gain a Swim speed equal to double your walking speed.
The magic of your patron ensures you always have certain spells ready; when you reach a Warlock level specified in the Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells for your chosen Primordial Facet prepared.
