Special Abilities

Call Hail And Lightning (Sp) A planetnik's innate call lightning spell-like ability doesn't have a limited number of lightning strikes. A planetnik can call a single lightning as a standard action or two lightnings against two different targets as a full-round action. Instead of calling lightning strikes, a planetnik can choose to produce crushing hailstones, changing the damage type to cold and bludgeoning.

Cloud Dweller (Su) A planetnik can treat clouds as a solid ground, walking on it, lying prone, and even sleeping. When a planetnik uses his control weather ability to move the cloud he is standing on, he can travel at a speed of 1 mile per minute as long as he concentrates on directing the cloud. Sleeping for 8 hours on a cloud fully heals planetnik's hit point and ability damage.

Wind Seer (Su) A planetnik senses are never impeded by mist, wind, or any other weather effects. He can accurately predict weather for the next seven days, and sense any magical alterations to weather within 3 mile range.

Planetniks (also known as cloudmen, weathermen, or pogodniks) are caretakers of clouds and rains, and the cyclic weather. While they are often mildly indifferent to mortal matters, they do run a full gamut of alignments and attitudes, from benign, to mischievous, to callous disregard for mortal suffering. Their good will can sometimes be bargained for—with certain dishes and clothing, though no more than once per season.They are occasionally at odds with fey dedicated to a single season, particularly those who seek to stop the cycle of seasons and freeze the world in the chains of eternal winter.

Very rarely, an enraged or mad planetnik might turn the weather against the mortals and try to disrupt the cycle of seasons himself, though never without a deeper (though not necessarily rational) reason.

Many planetniks spent a lot of their time fishing and some even live in underwater caves.

Some planetniks are very short instead of being exceptionally tall, being Small creatures with Init +9, AC 20 (+4 armor, +5 Dex, +1 size), Ref +13, CMB +8, CMD 29, Str 16, Dex 20, and 2 slams +10 (1d4+3 plus 1d6 cold).
