Air, Earth, Fire, & Water: Four New Monk Archetypes

While an interesting archetype, The Way of the Four Elements Monk has been problematic with regard to mechanical balance. First of all, the abilities were a hodgepodge of existing spells and new abilities. Additionally, it is the only monk archetype that required ki points for each of its abilities, ensuring that it would be more starved for ki than any other archetype. Finally, each element was not given equal representation in terms of power and range. Rather than continue the trend of trying to make a monk a spellcaster, I instead attempted to solve this problem by separating each element into its own archetype. This allows for the archetypes to avoid the pitfalls of the Four Elements monk, while making each more thematically consistent. Enjoy!
