Elemental Warrior - Fighter Archetype
While many warriors hone their skills by practicing their fighting maneuvers, others strengthen their bond to the natural world. Elemental Warrior's have trained to harness the elements of the world as weapons and armor to aid them and their allies in battle.

Starting at 3rd Level you can imbue yourself and your equipment with elemental energy. You become proficient in the Arcana skill and gain the ability to use Arcane knowledge to aid you in battle. You have 3 uses of Imbue Elements and regain all expended uses when you finish a long or short rest.
When you Imbue Elements you choose an Imbuement to use. You learn 3 Imbuements when you choose this archetype at 3rd level.
When an Imbuement calls for you to make an attack that is not a weapon attack your attack modifier is your proficiency bonus + your attack bonus from the chart below. When an Imbuement calls for a creature to make a saving throw the DC is equal to the DC listed on the chart below.
