Elemental InstinctSource Rage of Elements pg. 54 2.0This instinct option for barbarians allows you to channel elemental forces, bonding with a single element and its associated plane. Perhaps your ancestors were elemental conjurers or blessed by an elemental lord. Select an element from the Elemental Instincts table to be your instinct's element. If your element offers multiple damage types, choose one of those type when you select your element.
Elemental Instincts
| Element | Trait | Damage |
| Air | Air | Electricity or slashing |
| Earth | Earth | Bludgeoning or piercing |
| Fire | Fire | Fire |
| Metal | Metal | Piercing or slashing |
| Water | Water | Bludgeoning or cold |
| Wood | Wood | Bludgeoning or piercing |
Anathema
Disrespecting an elemental creature is anathema to your instinct; defending yourself against one is not. Purposefully despoiling the elemental plane associated with your element is anathema to your instinct, though this doesn't prevent you from responsibly altering that plane.
Elemental Rage (Instinct Ability)
While raging, you're cloaked in a vortex of elemental matter; you become
concealed against ranged attacks. You can't use this concealment to
Hide or
Sneak. While raging, you increase the additional damage from
Rage from 2 to 4 and change its damage type to the one you selected for your element.
If you have any
kineticist impulses with the same element type as the one you chose for your instinct, such as ones gained by taking the Kineticist Dedication multiclass feat, they gain the
rage trait.
Specialization Ability7th
When you use elemental rage, you increase the damage from
Rage from 4 to 6. If you have greater weapon specialization, instead increase the damage from Rage when using elemental rage from 6 to 12.
Raging Resistance9th
You resist the damage dealt by attacks and abilities of elemental creatures of your chosen element, as well as creatures made of your element, regardless of the damage type. You also resist damage dealt by attacks, spells, and abilities with your elemental trait.
