Ashen Elves

Ashen Elves

Ash-grey skin, red eyes, coarse voices, and the charred black fingernails are the hallmarks of this elusive elven subrace. These elves live in the wake of great volcanoes, adapting to the harrowing biome. These elves can also be found in various locations such as the Nine Hells, Infernollia, The Wildfire Jungle, Infernious and the Molten Lands. In With a honed survival instinct, a natural inclination toward magic and battle, and a proud veneration for tradition, these elves are the flaming counterparts to the snow elves who also escaped the intense, only the strong survive mindset instilled in the material plane elf mindset.

Infernal Trance You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep. You can finish a long rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in a trancelike meditation, during which you remain conscious. During this trance you can allow your body to be covered in a hardened shell of heated obsidian. This increases your AC by +3 and those that touch your shell take fire damage equal to your proficiency modifier. Whenever you finish this trance, your weapons and armor are heated up until they are separated from you or cooled off by something cold. While heated up weapon attacks deal an additional 1d4 fire damage and if your armor is heated up you can reduce incoming fire damage by 1d4.
