“Then we have Myrmidons, that are just elementals with pants that make them stronger” he says while showing a picture of two myrmidons that are wearing literally everything but pants.
"They're like if "Mario" from super Mario, was an entire race. They're the most basic of average everything, the trope "The Mario" exists because of these guys. And in some alternate world they did a bunch of bad stuff like fuck up the ozone layer and ignore a global pandemic. But hey, they made the internet! so... so that's pretty cool."
You know, I just realized a conjuration wizard can enslave a crap ton of fire dwarfs if he wanted to. Be a cool villain. To kill the dwarves who are forced to fight or not, that is the question.
Interesting historical note, it's possible Caligula's famous "having roman soldiers pick seashells" thing was to shame superstitious roman soldiers that were afraid of water.... Which is coincidentally exactly what happened a few hundred years later when another roman emperor decided to invade Britain, his soldiers refused to cross the water.

Faultless Tracker is almost as terrifying as the Revenant's Vengeful Tracker. Gods I love the Revenant. Perfect "meet the consequences of your murder hobo-ing" monster. I feel like the Invisible Stalker is the equivalent when you piss off a Mage lol.
@person person RAW they only would live for one year or until they eliminate their target(s), buuuut that can easily be hand waived, and/or maybe the revenant just decides to go zen with the time it has left as a "second chance after a sudden end". I like it. Less terror, more flavor
@person person In a DnD campaign I was in, my centaur fighter had a revenant father that was being sustained over the years by the "god" of Hell. His whole tribe was just one big revenant army guarding a cursed forest where the god's temple was. She had to kill the god, who turned out to be a necromancer given power by a god from a different universe, to release their spirits. Good times.
I used an invisible stalker once with the promise that they’d continue having to fight them until they dealt with the plot. Because there’s no reason for the powerful general who’s wife they kidnapped and killed to ever stop summoning them
Excellent idea to remind a party that there is a story waiting for them, but once they've killed the second one they'll probably stop seeing it as a threat. I know my players would deliberately avoid the story just to use them as an xp farm.
@@WarmishTextbook we use milestone so less of an issue. It immediately scared them into shape and they only needed the one. Once they figured out what it was it clicked but my players are often pretty smart so
I wouldn't say 80% of divination magic, as you still can't see where the target is so once it moves you've lost it again unless you walk alongside the stalker. Also, you have to remember summoning an elemental is often extremely difficult and always very dangerous. (Conjuring invisible stalkers requires a 6th level spell slot, after all, and, as Runesmith said: "Imagine you're in bed, having the best dream in the world, and some old dude with a beard rips you out of bed, puts a sword in your hand, and tells you that your house is being invaded because you're awake right now). Also, you'd have to speak Auran. If you just want to know where a target is, it's sort of like hiring a batshit serial killer who doesn't speak english but can still understand you when you give it a name. The stalker is just as likely to kill you as he is the target, if you don't keep your cool.
Two things, both involving language. 1. Primordial language prof lets you speak to all elementals (Ignan/Auran/Aquan/Terran are dialects of Primordial) 2. Sending someone a Mephit can be used for a secret meaning. Like how sending a red rose means love, sending someone an Ice Mephit means they are not allowed in your home.
fire snakes a freakin awesome they are an amazing low level miniboss that pose a challenge to tier 1 players and force them to think strategically and give casters a chance to shine at low levels when they're not as powerful
I think being an elemental is about being a creature native to those plains that can survive there like its moved beyond just being made of the element. I don't know how a magical snail formed there but I can imagine it in 3/4 of the planes - they eats rocks and gems and leaves a trail of glass, they resist fire- and there are real snails that basically live in volcanoes, and there are plenty of sea slugs and snails so they make sense in the water plane.
Imagine a BBEG releasing elder elementals secretly. Gives the part things to trap them and then used the tech to drain their power and give it to himself
You giving me a hilarious historical fact in your tone of voice while describing fantastic fantasy creature and their loopholes is the best joy I feel all day
Honesty a wind elemental with enough air pressure within it to maintain a constant form would be incredibly scary. Like the actual pressure it could exude could tear you apart if you got caught in it.
Invisible Stalkers are really freaking powerful. You summon one with the intent of finding a person, and they just... know where it is... what... that can’t be balanced.
Okay, on Flail Snails though; I gave my party, basically, a fetch quest to hunt a Flail Snail and bring it's shell back to the noble/collector that hired them UNHARMED. I also modded the flail snail so that after being hit with an attack, it had a reaction to go back into the shell, and then would screech upon exiting it on a later turn, potentially stunning everybody for a round so it could try to make its getaway (it only had this screech once per rest, like its scintillating shell ability) Unfortunately, the screech attracted an intrusion of Ankhegs from a nearby abandoned mine, forcing the party to protect the snail and overall just made for an interesting and nerve-racking encounter.
In one game I had knowledge elementals hidden in books, that if you saw their glyph they could transfer their consciousness to the copy that made inside your head, and attack you from there.
I like the GGR weirds because the Izzit were like "we messed around with magic and made a thing. BTW its pissed off and your problem now. Have fun with that." They also exploded and absorb energy which is fun for DM bullsittery
"And why were you messing around with magic?" Azorius cop "What do you mean why? Its literally what we do! Speaking of which, has anyone captured that weird yet?" Izzit scientist "Not yet, no." "Perfect! I'll catch it with my cyclops and get the reward money." "With your _what?!_" A roar and a crash erupts in the distance. Azorius cop sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Why are you people like this?" "Because science!" Scientist presses a button on their armband and Dimension Door towards the commotion. Azorius cop runs off toward the commotion. "The paperwork is going to suuuuuuuck."
I love elementals. They can be pretty much anywhere. And the galeb duhr are my favourite. Just chill rocks mostly just vibing. I used one in a one-shot where the party has going to kill a dragon. One PC died and I let them play as the galeb duhr for the rest of the session and they ended up being one of two who survived. They managed to kill the dragon. It was a really close call both ways.
You did miss four others that are worse than the Elder Elementals and have a module, but because there's so little about all elementals, and there are so many, I don't blame you for skipping them. Keep up these comedic summaries, and enjoy any time off you give yourself!
Damn, couldn't you have made this video a bit earlier, lol. I am wrapping up a campaign on Wednesday that has a heavy emphasis on elementals. Oh, well, I can still gain a lot of great pointers from this video for the big battle with the BBEG
So fitting. Went here to get more info on elementals cause I play a warforged powered by the heart of a primordial (don't ask me how, the DM allowed it) in Grimm Hollow :D
I love how your videos are like if you and i where chilling on the couch talking about shit and you are like "basicly that is an elemental." and im like "bro i wanna tame a Zaratan"
Summoned a couple fire snakes as a druid in one of my first ever games of DnD learned very quickly that yes, they are terrible and let me down very quickly, so they became "meat" sheilds
My current campaign's setting is primarily the underdark because a group of desperate druids were tricked by a void Slaad in disguise as a primordial spirit into tapping into the elemental planes to become powerful enough to defeat an ancient Kraken that had emerged at the end of our last campaign. The ritual they performed actually ended up transforming each of them into one of the 4 elder elementals and ripped open a portal to Limbo where the Slaad could pour forth and begin planar devastation. The elder elementals now act as conduits keeping the portal open, compelled to remain in the 4 corners of the realm, far from each other, but not too far from the epicenter. We just finished the Phoenix chapter a few weeks ago with a lot of things wrapped up but even more questions raised
it looks like a cool campaign but I can't get through episode 1 because i can't tell which character is speaking they all kinda have the same voice and their is nothing else to indicate who is speaking.
Living in peace? I wish. With the elemental princes and archomentals running around, pure elementals live in a constant domimation war against themselves
I think the reason elementals take damage from swords and stuff (other than making them immune to everything but magic bull shitery) is because you are more attacking the energy that holds them together not Thier actual form
I call the Phoenix from Tome of Foes the Firebird or Pyroclysm Phoenix, and have my own stat block for a True Phoenix, which can do healing and light stuff too, but is less offensive in a fight
Its the little things but I like the abrupt ending on this one, when you are just done, reminds me of the first few basically videos... and yeah... thats basically my comment.
Logan, what are you talking about? Leviathan was god's pet, he played with it. He's going to kill it at some point during the end of the end of world as a main course for the "Farewell" party; akin to a farmer killing his old prized pig for a holiday party.
This was groundbreaking information. Absolutely on fire with those facts. You better cool off before you burn yourself out. Your videos really let me unwind and blow off some steam.
Single handedly killed a Water Weird in the campaign im in with a non-combat support character by using the Create/Destroy Water spell to edit>undo the water in it's pot. This caused the rest of it's body to pretty much instantly evaporate. Might try the Shape Water cantrip next time to do something like freeze it over and see what happens.
Summon Elemental allows you to summon an Invisible Stalker. It knows where your target is and has an hour to get there and kill em. At 50ft/round, it can fly 5.68 miles in that hour. So you can just summon the thing, give it some asshats name and have an airtight alibi because you were literally miles away and you clearly have nothing to do with the noble being murdered by angry wind. As a bonus, the "lose concentration, it gets loose" clause has 0% chance of happening, as you are miles away from combat.
Moon druid that transforms into elementals are awesome. Favorite combo is Air elemental and spike growth. How do you defend against the very wind drawing your face across a cheese grater
Man, I wanted to base my campaign around Elementals so much, and then when I sat down and looked through them... What a bunch of weird choices WotC made with these guys.
@Ethan Morrill Respectful, and correct! I've had to go through and just completely reflavour so much stuff, and even just move stuff around. Like, if a fucking Flail Snail can be an Elemental, then I'm sorry, the FIRE HORSE can be an Elemental too. Same with the fucking Fire Dog for that matter. Firenewts, Giant Striders... But, no, the fucking Flail Snail.
Just two days ago I had an Elder Tempest frozen under a lake with a legendary weapon. A hero sacrificed everything to stop it's rampage. And my players let it loose on the world.
Question: does anyone else want him to bring back that little mini series where he went over some tactics for monsters? The one with goblins and kobolds.
Hey Logan! Just in case you read this, I really liked your video and hope you're having a nice day :) hope you're still enjoying making this content as much as we enjoy watching
Animism is the basis of Wishing Wells. Why does this well grant wishes? There is either a fairy, sprite, sprite, etc. that does it. Or there is a supernatural component to the well doing it.
In my campaign, I created the “defaced” Gomes purposely tinkered with so that they can’t return to the elemental planes once summoned, leaving them eternally in servitude unless destroyed, then the elemental will return
Some day I will actually get to run a Dearven Fortress defended by Trebuchets that huck Earth Elementals at people. It's one of the more bonkers things I've ever made, but ended up not really running like twice now.

Man, I wanted to base my campaign around Elementals so much, and then when I sat down and looked through them... What a bunch of weird choices WotC made with these guys.
@Ethan Morrill Respectful, and correct!
I've had to go through and just completely reflavour so much stuff, and even just move stuff around. Like, if a fucking Flail Snail can be an Elemental, then I'm sorry, the FIRE HORSE can be an Elemental too. Same with the fucking Fire Dog for that matter. Firenewts, Giant Striders... But, no, the fucking Flail Snail.
Can't wait to get all these grim hollow books so I can make a witcher style campaign
Just two days ago I had an Elder Tempest frozen under a lake with a legendary weapon. A hero sacrificed everything to stop it's rampage.
And my players let it loose on the world.
Question: does anyone else want him to bring back that little mini series where he went over some tactics for monsters? The one with goblins and kobolds.
3:52 I see that horrible histories clip, good on yah
Hey Logan! Just in case you read this, I really liked your video and hope you're having a nice day :) hope you're still enjoying making this content as much as we enjoy watching
must've rolled a nat 20 on dexterity to get here this fast
You're just playing Monk and using Alert to bump up your initiative
Animism is the basis of Wishing Wells. Why does this well grant wishes? There is either a fairy, sprite, sprite, etc. that does it. Or there is a supernatural component to the well doing it.
That Weather Report reference is accurate. Thanks for the Jojoke
I'm playing him in Pathfinder as a Summoner who uses Elementals ⚡⛈️ 🐌
In my campaign, I created the “defaced” Gomes purposely tinkered with so that they can’t return to the elemental planes once summoned, leaving them eternally in servitude unless destroyed, then the elemental will return
I got unreasonably happy seeing Hearthstone art
Some day I will actually get to run a Dearven Fortress defended by Trebuchets that huck Earth Elementals at people. It's one of the more bonkers things I've ever made, but ended up not really running like twice now.
This is the best birthday gift I could have asked for 🥲
Don’t mess with that elder tempest. It’ll summon flail snail everywhere
