[OOC] Return to the Rusty Rat

[Toot]

Just for my own reference, 

• The Para-elementals are ice (Water/Air), magma (Earth/Fire), ooze (Water/Earth), and smoke (Air/Fire).
  
  
• The Positive Quasi-elementals are Lightning (Positive/Air), Minerals (Positive/Earth), Radiance (Positice/Fire), and Steam (Positive/Water).
  
  
• The Negative Quasi-elementals are Vacuum (Negative/Air), Dust (Negative/Earth), Ash (Negative/Fire), and Salt (Negative/Water).
  

As a side note, I have a cool Dragon Magazine article that give stats for Genasi for each of these planes as well as Genasi of Law and Chaos.  The Cansin (Genasi of Chaos) are one of my favorite.  


RE Equipment:  In Elemental (Type) it states:

Proficient with natural weapons only, unless generally humanoid in form, in which case proficient with all simple weapons and any weapons mentioned in its entry.

Proficient with whatever type of armor (light, medium, or heavy) that it is described as wearing, as well as all lighter types. Elementals not indicated as wearing armor are not proficient with armor. Elementals are proficient with shields if they are proficient with any form of armor.

Using this, no true elemental is proficient in any armor and only those with a humanoid form are proficient with simple weapons (because no description mentions any other weapons in their entry).  But thankfully you don't have to be proficient to use the magical effects of a helmet.

And no need to fear.  I won't be turning my Elementals into Elemental War Machines.     Toot will be picking up the Aquan language next level anyways so Toot won't be needing a helmet to chat with Water creatures.
