Identity & lore

Class overview

A supportive wind user that speeds up allies and hampers enemies.

Tactical guidance

Playing Windbringer

The windbringer is a wind based support that focuses on movement.

They start the battle by giving their allies Tailwind, which increases their initiative and boosts their movement speed. This is especially useful when you start far away from the enemy and have many melee focused fighters in the party.

If you need even more movement speed, you can activate Gale-Wind Aura. 20ft movement speed increase is a big boost and since your allies keep it after leaving the aura, they can cross great distances in a single turn.

Headwind instead hampers enemy. You need to be somewhat close to an enemy for it to take effect, but it's an otherwise unavoidable slow. Once you and your allies have engaged the front most enemy, Headwind can be used to deny their allies a chance to help.

Fly gives flying to yourself or an ally. It has a small mana cost, but the extra movement speed alone makes it worth using.

You project an aura around you that hinders the movements of enemies. 

All enemies that start their movement within 30ft of you become slowed. If an enemy takes a Move basic action outside of your zone and spends more than 1 AP, they are still slowed after calculating each individual AP spent on the move.

Touch

You or the creature you touch gains Fly, which gives them controlled Flight, Hover and their movement speed is doubled while flying until the end of the encounter. If they take damage while flying higher than 5ft above the ground, their altitude drops by 20ft. If this would reduce their altitude to the point where they touch the ground, they become rooted and cannot fly again until the end of their next turn. If the attack that reduced your HP came from an flying creature other than yourself, you do not lose altitude.
