Naryan Class Option: Warlock's Elemental Patron

The elemental planes are the nexus through which the elements of earth, fire, air and water spring into the material plane and whence they, inevitably, return. It is home to hosts of alien entities that embody and control their element with supernatural affinity. These beings are arguably purer than anything in the material world and some have powers that rival the gods. And yet, within the material plane, they are weak and must submit to the whims of the gods of Narya. To avoid risking to much of themselves by personally invading or exploring the material plane, these entities prefer to send servants or, in the case of today's subject, enlist emmissaries.

Warlocks who make a pact with an elemental patron either did so to merely seek power, to repay a debt to such an entity, or to become closer to an element that they felt a deep connection towards. As part of the pact, their body and magicks are imbued with the affinity of their patron.

Whether they are a stubborn and immovable earth warlock, a fiery passionate and furious fire warlock, a flexible and easy-going air warlock or the ever-shifting and deep water warlock, these spellcasters are specialists with ties to beings that are both alien and universal.

Each pillar is a cylinder that has a diameter of 5 feet and a height of up to 30 feet. The earth surface where a pillar appears must be wide enough for its diameter. Each pillar has AC 5 and 30 hit points. When reduced to 0 hit points, a pillar crumbles into rubble, which creates an area of difficult terrain with a 10-foot radius. The rubble lasts until cleared.

If a pillar is created under a creature, that creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw based on your spellcasting save or be lifted by the pillar. A creature can choose to fail the save.

If a pillar is prevented from reaching its full height because of a ceiling or other obstacle, a creature on the pillar takes 6d6 bludgeoning damage and is restrained, pinched between the pillar and the obstacle. The restrained creature can use an action to make a Strength or Dexterity check (the creature’s choice) against the spell’s saving throw DC. On a success, the creature is no longer restrained and must either move off the pillar or fall off it.
