Flameborn (5e Subrace)
Elf Subrace[edit]
Flameborn are roughly the same height/weight as elves. Their bodies, however, look very different. Their skin glows orange, seemingly from the fire within. Their fists are especially red, and their hair tends to be shades of red, yellow, and orange. Their mannerisms tend to differ from most elves. They are less rigid, structured, and poised, leaning more towards casual. Their society also differs, leaning towards strength and wisdom, rather than just wisdom.
