	~~'''~~Stormlords'~~'' wield thunder and lightning like a warrior wields~~ his ~~sword~~. ~~Because~~ of their ~~command~~ of ~~one~~ of the ~~most destructive aspects~~ of ~~nature~~, ~~Stormlords are viewed with awe~~ and ~~fear by lesser folk, regardless of their motivation~~.		Talos the Destroyer embodies the uncaring and destructive forces of nature that may strike at any time. Stormlords are the chief agents of the Destroyer's wrath, inflicting destructive rampages wherever they wander in order to spread word of his endless fury. Talos cares only that they call up a storm or engage in a spectacular act of violence every tenday or so.

			Most Stormlords are clerics, druids, or cleric/sorcerers, although other class combinations, particularly those including fighter or even barbarian, are not unknown. Wizards have their own means of destroying things, and bards rarely can generate enough force with their spells to be considered worthy by the Destroyer.

			Stormlords often live as brigands, indulging their personal desires for wealth, food, luxury items, and wanton behavior as they crave random, spectacular acts of violence. They often pose as lunatics, in order to spread the word of Talos, and otherwise adopt disguises in order to scout out rich prizes to strike at.

			===Spells per Day/Spells Known:===
			At each stormlord level, the character gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he had also gained a level in a divine spellcasting class to which he belonged before adding the prestige class level. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (improved chance of turning or destroying undead, additional favored enemies, and so on). If the character had more than one divine spellcasting class before becoming a stormlord, the player must decide to which class to add each stormlord level for the purpose of determining spells per day and spells known.

	===Electricity Resistance===		===Electricity Resistance===
	~~Stormlords are granted~~ resistance to [[electrical ~~damage\|Electrical Damage]] 5/-~~ at ~~1st~~ level, ~~10/-~~ at ~~4th~~ level, and ~~15/-~~ at ~~7th~~ level.		At 1st level, a Stormlord gains electrical resistance 5. This increases to electrical resistance 10 at 4th level, electrical resistance 15 at 7th level, and electrical resistance 30 at 9th level.

	===Shock Weapon===		===Shock Weapon (Su)===
	At ~~the~~ 2nd level, a Stormlord may ~~add 1d8 Electricity~~ damage to ~~their weapon for 20 [[round]]s (if they are wielding a Stormlord weapon: Spear, Shortspear, Throwing Axe, Dart, or Shuriken)~~.		At 2nd level, a Stormlord may enchant any equipped spear or shortspear to deal an additional 1d6 points of electricity damage. Activated via Feat, applied to Character Sheet.

The character gains the effects of a permanent <i>freedom of movement</i> spell while outdoors during a storm.

	===Shocking Burst Weapon===		===Shocking Burst Weapon===
	At ~~the~~ 5th level, ~~Shock Weapon adds 1d8 Electrical plus~~ an extra ~~2d8~~ on [[~~critical hit~~]]~~s for 20 rounds~~.		At 5th level, a stormlord may enchant any equipped spear or shortspear to deal an additional 1d6 points of electricity damage and an extra 1d10 points of weapon damage on a critical hit (2d10 if the critical multiplier is x3, 3d10 if the critical multiplier is x4).

	~~Same as Shocking Burst~~, ~~with~~ an ~~added~~ 1d8 [[sonic damage~~\|Sonic Damage]]~~ (~~for a total of 2d8~~, ~~plus 2d8 on~~ critical ~~hits~~)~~. Gained at 8th level~~.		At 8th level, the Stormlord may enchant any equipped spear or shortspear to deal an additional 1d6 points of electrical damage, an extra 1d8 points of sonic damage, and an extra 1d10 points of weapon damage on a critical hit (2d10 if the critical multiplier is x3, 3d10 if the critical multiplier is x4).

	===~~Electricity Immunity~~===		===Elemental Conflagration (Sp)===
	At ~~the 9th~~ level, ~~a Stormlord is fully~~ [[~~immune\|Immune~~]] to ~~Electrical Damage~~.		At 10th level, once per day, the stormlord can cast [[Elemental Swarm]] as if he were a Druid with a caster level equal to his character level. This functions the same as the 9th-level druid spell of the same name.

	~~===Extended Storm Avatar===~~
	At the 10th level, a Stormlord may cast [[Storm Avatar]] as though [[druid\|Druid]] with caster level equal to character level with [[Extend Spell]], once [[per day]]. This provides an increased movement speed, immunity to ranged attacks and [[Knockdown]], +3d6 bonus electrical damage on attacks with melee weapons, and will last 1 round per character level (not class or caster level).
