Upon reaching 20HD the Elemental Avatar May take the form of an Elemental of their type and size. While in that form that have Elemental traits and are treated as elementals for anything that has to do with their race.
Depending on the Element the Avatar will have other different qualities.
Water: No longer needs water to survive.
Earth: No longer needs to eat to survive.
Fire: Instead getting hurt from fire they heal 1 for every 2 damage that would have been dealt.
Air: No longer needs to breath air to survive.
Lighting: No longer needs to sleep. As a caster, it still doesn't need sleep to prepare spells but it has to wait 24hrs from the last time it prepared it spells to prepare new spells, while taking 15 minutes to do so after the 24hr mark it met. As a spontaneous caster, the spells per day refresh at midnight after meditating for 15 minutes. Divine casters are similar to Spontaneous casters.
