New Races

There are countless varieties of people in the worlds of Dungeons and Dragons, so much so that it becomes impossible to keep track of them all. From variations on already known races to completely undiscovered races, you never know what you'll find. (With half races, the parent race is the race of the mother, and the subrace is the race of the father.)

Dwarven Subraces

There are two common subraces of dwarves, but those are far from all that exist. You might be only a half-dwarf, and half of another race, or perhaps you are a pureblooded Spellforge or Storm dwarf.

Half-Elf

As a half-elf dwarf, you remain on the outskirts of both societies; too flighty and aloof fo the dwarves, yet too gruff and rugged for the elves. However, many half-elf dwarves can find a place within their clan, it simply takes more to prove themselves.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 1.

Fey Ancestry. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.

Halfling

As a halfling dwarf, you are often shunned by dwarven society, often appearing smaller and weaker than most other dwarves. In halfling society, however, you are viewed as a powerhouse, and halfling dwarves often make it far as warriors and military leaders.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 1.

Brave. You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

Half-Human

As a half-human dwarf, you will most likely make it far in both camps. Dwarves will recognize your well-roundedness as a strength, and humans will see that your dwarven strength and hardiness gives you great ability.

Ability Score Increase. One ability score of your choice increases by 1.

Skilled. You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice.

Half-Gnome

Half-gnomish dwarves most often find their place among rock gnomes, who recognize and celebrate their dwarven skill and craftsmanship, but you could also make your place among the dwarves, usig your gnomish intellect to your advantage.

Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

Gnome Cunning. You have advantage on all Intelligence saving throws against magic.

Spellforge Dwarf

Spellforge dwarves are dwarves born and raised as members of a spellcasting class of society. As such, you gain innate magical prowess unmatched by other dwarves.

Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

Natural Transmuter. You know the mending cantrip. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for it.

Elven Subraces

While there are three widespread subraces of elves, many more exist, beyond those shown in the PHB. You may be a half-elf, or perhaps you are one of several pure varieties.

Half-Dwarf

As a half-dwarf elf, you epitomise the craftsmanship of both races, bringing beauty and function together in a way that is unmatched among the other races. In addition, you are far hardier than most other elves.

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 1.

Dwarven Combat Training. You have proficiency with the battleaxe, handaxe, light hammer, and warhammer.

Dwarven Resilience. You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage.

Extra Language. You can speak, read, and write Dwarvish.

Halfling

As a halfling elf, you are often looked down upon by other elves. Halfling elves tend to, at least in the eyes of pureblooded elves, squander their long lives relaxing and enjoying the simpler pleasures of their lives. When called upon, however, they are some of the most courageous people you will ever meet.

Ability Score Increase. Your choice of your Constitution or Charisma score increases by 1.

Brave. You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

Halfling Nimbleness. You can move through the space of any creature that is of a size larger than yours.

Extra Language. You can speak, read, and write Halfling.
