Triple Threat – Tetramental

Note: This particular critter was designed by Antoni Ten Munros, I am just tossing it out there for use at his request.

Tetramental

A artificial creation, this is what happens when you fuse together one elemental of each of element: Air (Lightning), Earth, Fire, and Water (Ice). They are often bound to a specific location to serve as protectors.
They look like a humanoid swirling masses of the four elements that compose them, solid enough to affect the material world, but fluid enough to be only slightly bothered by most attacks. This is the weakest variety and most often encountered. There are rumors of stronger Tetramentals that deal twice as much damage, and can use each ability once per turn and more reliably.

On a 2, it’s Lightning State, on a 3 it’s Fireball, on a 4, it’s  Stone Missile. On a 5, roll again twice, ignoring any result of 5+, it deals 1d damage of the two rolled types. On a 6, roll twice as per 5, but it deals 2d damage per element instead.
