Elemental Kin

Few know where or how elemental kin formed. The best understanding is that at one time in the past beings from the four elemental planes were stranded here and decided to mate with a few of the species of beings here. Those offspring blended and were able to pass traits of both their parents. Over the generations, the kin have formed a balanced bloodline between their distance ancestors. There are four types of elementals that breed with six different races, each combination has their own special abilities. First are abilities that all elemental kin have. Below you select one of the four elements and then one of the six races. Ability modifiers of the two stack together, I.E. an elf fire elemental kin has a +3 dexterity bonus.
  • Elemental Affinity: An elemental kin receives half damage from their element type and if that damage has a save for half, they take none.
  • Darkvision: Elemental Kin can see in the dark up to 60 feet.  Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and Elemental Kin can function just fine with no light at all.
  • Automatic Languages: Common
  • Bonus Languages: Elemental
