Desert Elf (5e Subrace)
Desert Elf Subrace[edit]
As a desert elf, you have a natural resilience and a keen instinct. Your light steps carry you quickly through your native dunes and your variation of trance helps you travel long distances without issue. Desert elves' skin tends to range from dusky pale or a caramel brown, sometimes with traces of sandy yellow. Their hair tends toward dark browns and fair yellows, but it is occasionally black or platinum-colored. Their eyes are yellow, brown, or hazel and their features are more angular and deeply etched.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 1.
Desert Dweller. You naturally adapted to hot environments: you automatically pass Constitution checks made to avoid exhaustion as a result of extreme heat. Furthermore, you ignore difficult terrain caused by sand.
Mirage Magic. In tune with the essence of the desert, you can summon forth a fraction of its power even far from its drifting sands. You know the minor illusion cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the longstrider spell once per day. When you reach 5th level, you can also cast the blur spell once per day. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
Survivalist. The desert sands are harsh and unforgiving to many. To grow and thrive in these lands you must know how to survive in a seemingly endless expanse where so many have fallen. You have proficiency in the Survival skill.
