So, I know the element affinities have been talked to death, with little to no resolution but I found something that I don't know if anyone saw and if I can get an official ruling that would be awesome.
So, looking at the inside cover of Blood of Elements (the players companion) it gives the racial traits of each of the elemental races. This includes Ifrits, Oreads, Slyphs, and Undine, but there is something odd that I have not seen elsewhere.
For Ifrits and Slyphs the affinity ability is changed. While the sorcerer aspect is the same, it specifically says Sorcerer the next section reads Ifrit spellcasters with the Fire domain use their domain
powers and spells at +1 caster level.
It now says spellcasters instead of clerics. This is great, for druid and such that get domains. The problem is it only applies to Ifrits and Slyphs, not Oreads and Undines, which both still say Clerics.
Given this new information, which part was a mistake? Was it a mistake that Ifrits and Slyphs opened the ability to other classes, or was it a mistake that Oreads and Undine were not corrected? IF anyone has something official that would be awesome.
Thanks.
Giving this one some new life... It seems to be coming up again.
