Class Features: Grammar check
'''{{Anchor|Storm-Charged}} {{Ex}}:''' A rider of the storm is one with the rage of the sky, and has [[SRD:Resistance to Energy|electricity resistance]] equal to 3 × his class level. His mount also gains this same electricity resistance. Furthermore, the rider of the storm and his mount both gain [[Energy Anti-Resistance (3.5e Creature Ability)|electricity anti-resistance]] equal to 3 × his class level, though this anti-resistance cannot overcome immunity or absorption.
'''''{{Anchor|Electric Blast}}'' {{Sp}}:''' A rider of the storm is capable of launching an electric blast from his hands. This functions like a warlock's ''eldritch blast''<ref name="ca">[[Publication:Complete Arcane|Complete Arcane]]</ref>, except it does 1d6 electric damage per [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]]. Its caster level is equal to the rider of the storm's class level, but if he is currently riding his mount, the caster level becomes twice his class level instead. The range increment of an ''electric blast'' is 60 feet. The spell level is equal to the rider of the storm's class level (minimum 1st, maximum 9th). The save DC (for effects that care what its save DC would be if it allowed or warranted one) is [[Wisdom]]-based.{{underbar|Where are the invocations?|The design of this class was… tumultuous. Originally, the ''call lightning'' spell-like ability was obtained at first level, and its progression was scaled accordingly. Then I decided that I wanted to give the rider of the storm a more reliable attack. So , so I pushed the spell-like abilities up to make room. However, this class was always meant to focus on riding a mount around in the sky, throwing about lightning, thunder, torrential rain, and roaring wind — I didn't even consider invocations until I decided to add the ''electric blast'', and if I add them now, it'll make the class substantially more powerful. I'll probably have to drop most of the existing spell-like abilities, drop the partial spellcasting progression, heighten the prerequisites to raise the minimum level, and/or raise the balance point. So, despite having a warlock-like ability, I'm not sure if adding invocations to this class is worthwhile.}}
'''{{Anchor|Storm Horse}} {{Su}}:''' The rider of the storm's mount is empowered by the rider to take on the mobility of the storm. In addition to electricity resistance, it gains a [[SRD:Fly|fly]] speed equal to its base land speed, with poor maneuverability. Its fly speed improves by 5 feet at every odd-numbered rider of the storm level after 1st, and its maneuverability is improved by one grade every 3 class levels after 1st (up to perfect maneuverability at 10th level). If the rider of the storm's mount can already fly, it uses its own maneuverability grade and/or fly speed if they are better; in the latter case, its existing fly speed improves by 10 feet at every odd-numbered class level instead. The mount only benefits from this feature when the rider of the storm is riding it.
