Believe it or not, just because a homebrew class seems OP on paper, that doesn't mean it's great.
Takes her forever to consult her moon charts, select her spells, and decide on, well, anything. Her class belies her indeciciveness, and turns it into a class feature... That wastes twenty minutes of every session with all her tables and charts and extra calculations.
When playing the Arcane elemental, I could launch spells like Burning Hands, Fireball, and Lightning Bolt as if I had a higher caster level than I actually did. Plus there were so many other little calculations... the Water elemental was even worse in that regard, especially if working alongside a caster who could do Fox's Cunning or Eagle's Splendor.
During one game with five players, each of our actions was five minutes of calculations.
Apparently she has different talents. There are like four talents per moon phase, each talent has a whole table of spells and/or abities, and she uses some complicated mess to scale whatever she rolls up or down to suit her current power level, which changes every in game day. She has, I think, a hundred fifty page binder detailing her moon feats, class features, and all the tables and calculations needed for her character.
And all of this is at level one! Apparently she gets a new talent every other level or so. Plus she gets lunar feats, which can grant her new abilities and spells, or she can use it to get yet another talent.
Admittedly, the character is super OP at level one if the dice favor you. Fireball at level one, even scaled down to a half moon, is still pretty insane for a level one.
My fiance's water elemental was pretty constant, calculation-wise, until I started throwing spells around. And the class creator made one prestige class that would have made her character way too powerful by combining it with the Arcane.
But if you want a character design closer to what you've shared... the Destiny elemental had three entirely different character builds. THAT took forever to do something at first.
Now I want to play a Moon Knight.
And how many times have we heard - from our seats behind the DM's screen - "Wait! I forgot to add something!"
Good times.
I quite literally said to him. It doesn't matter, you killed Fluffy the Space Hamster Supreme Prime Overlord already. [Yes, that's what I called him.]
