Then we need element creature templates for all of those paraelementals. Lets get started! And I will be helping personally later.

The Quasielemental planes are Void, Brine, Dust, and Ash (negative), and Lightning, Crystals, Steam, and Radiance. (postive) There is no paraelemental plane of Snow, and Storm Elementals are a composite of multiple elements. Dicefreaks has a nice layout of many para- and quasi-elementals (http://community.dicefreaks.com/viewtopic.php?t=3089), including Ash, Mineral, Salt, Ice, Magma, Ooze, and Smoke. Planewalker.com (http://www.planewalker.com/codex/monsters.php) has Ash and Vacuum quasielementals. We also need to adjust the ice paraelemental to not have the air subtype. Why not? The Paraelemental Plane of Ice is between Water & Air. What's the harm? Then we need element creature templates for all of those paraelementals. I disagree. The para- and quasi-elemental regions are considerably smaller and more barren than the major elemental planes. The quasi-elemental planes are especially hostile to living creatures, given their fluid borders with the energy planes.

The quasi-elemental planes are especially hostile to living creatures, given their fluid borders with the energy planes. First of all, maybe they aren't in my game. Second, you suggested using quasi elementals in the first place. Finally, they actually are smaller in my game, which is why I didn't bring up primal paraelementals.
savant_warlord13 08-16-06, 11:46 AM	In my campaign setting, the elemental planes are arranged in a tetrahedron, not a ring. This means that each elemental plane borders every other elemental plane. hence the steam and dust paraelementals.

This deals 1d4 points of nonlethal electricity damage to the opponent for every 2 HD the storm monolith has. A successful DC 34 fortitude save halves the damage. The save DC is constitution based. Thunder and Lightning (Su) Once per minute as a full-round action, a storm monolith can emit a blast of thunder accompanied by a bolt of lightning. The thunder deals 1d6 points of sonic damage per 2 HD the storm monolith possesses to all within 60 feet of the storm monolith. A successful DC 36 fortitude save halves the sonic damage. The lightning is a 120 foot line that deals 1d6 points of electricity damage per hit die the storm monolith possesses. A successful DC 36 reflex save halves the electricity damage. Both save DCs are consitution based. Please note that storm elementals have a CR one higher than other elementals of the same "age category" (aka small, elder, etcetera). I have continued this with the monolith. HELP!! Where do I put electric and sonic healing in the new format?
