Exotic Elemental Born (5e Subrace)
Who are the Exotic Elemental Born?[edit]
Only some know of the origin of the Exotic Elemental Born dwarves. This new sub-race of dwarves was made when they were caught between two elements colliding, or if the parents are both Elemental Born.[1] Either case makes them take on new traits. However, some of these traits are made from new sources making new Exotic Elemental Born. Elemental Born dwarves typically live in locations that represent both their elements. Since their forms are affected by their elements so are their personalities. Most of their subspecies share traits between their two elements one examples being storm dwarf they are Wise and emotional. If the Exotic Elemental Born is made of one they follow the following examples: Frost is cold and smart, force loud and brave.
