Class Features
Weapon and armor proficiency: Proficient with simple and martial weapons, as well as proficient in light and medium armor, as they are a rather physically involved spellcaster type.
Elemental Defence: While in an elemental form the salamander cannot be harmed by environmental perils of the chosen element.
Elemental Harmony: Elemental Salamancer spells (salamancies) do not count towards spells known or spells per day. You can cast a number of salamancies per day equal the caster level plus your Con bonus. For every 2 salamancies +1 every 2 levels (max of 6) used you can use 1d4 less spells unprepared that day. Roll a d10 to determine which spells afflicted. i. e. if you roll the d4 and get a 3, then roll the d10 and get a 6, 6th level spells would lose on, and so would 5th level and 7th level. If you do not have any spells of that level learned, roll again.
Spells: The Salamancer focuses mainly on elemental, and self based spells. The Salamancer has a unique ability to take on three elemental forms. All elemental spells and abilities are dependent on which elemental form the Salamancer is currently in. Specific fire, water or electricity spells can only be used when in their corresponding forms, or when in basic form, for a slight debuff. The Salamancer can use any spell without it needing to be prepared ahead of time. Salamancers can choose their spells from the following list:

Religion: Salamancers do not worship any deities, or follow any strict religion, but they live in harmony with nature, and deeply respect all elements of their life in it.
Other Classes: Salamancers will almost always be in Talpoida colonies, and will work with foot soldiers and really any other class that Talpoida are capable of, which are almost all.
Combat: The salamancer is the heavy hitter of the group. It goes into battle to deal large amounts of damage. Can also help support their group. Typically slow to the party.
